.co .CO - The Discussion, Showcase and Sales Report Thread

[TOXX]

Well, it seems like Colombia will be releasing .CO to the internet market:

...
This could truly be a big competitor to .COM (especially being a "typo").
I would say with proper guidance .CO could REALLY have a bright future!
...
Let me know your thoughts please.

I had a $2,200 offer on Tapas.co but i turned it down as it was their first offer. Its a great name and is certainly worth more.

Ive also had an offer for Trackday(s).co $3,201 but turned this down as well.

You deserve the NP Nerves of Steel award for choosing to hold those 3 names instead of $5401.

It's always a gamble to counter-offer(significantly)no matter who the seller, the buyer and the domain name is. There is always variance in it after you refuse what you've been already offered and go for more. That makes the difference between the elite and the rest of the categories, the ability to beat that variance. Of course, a thing like domain quality counts the most.

But in this case quality is not at the high-end and the offer matches it ( 2words dot co selling as an average llll dot com to end-user). The best thing to do now is to squeeze the fees too from the buyer(take 500$ after fees) and move on (in my opinion).

It is a low risk move but I see it this way: $500 have more potential in future profit than holding on to the name for a higher offer which may never come. Of course, you can always spend the money

Hope this helps your decision.

Thanks for all the great input. I countered at $1200. We'll see.

Just hand regged two 3 letter .co domains that dropped yesterday and a capital city .co.

My new criteria for buying .co domains is

# Must be one letter word or 3 letters in length

# Must have all other major TLDs already taken

# Must have search volume over 30k a month

Thanks for the link about goodies and Wal-Mart.

In one of the reactions I read the following interesting remark on "king-com" or "not-king-com")=

Michael Berkens PERMALINK

Guys

As we have been chatting about for years is you don’t have to be king to make money

We sold meet.me for $450K (too cheap at that) and .me isn’t king nor will ever be. So… Queen’s, Princes, Barons don’t seem to be doing so badly either

Yes, nice sunrise domain, i wonder if they were the first owner.

Looking at the whois history I don't think so.

The first time Wal-Mart showed up in the whois was early April this year when the domain was transferred to Mark Monitor.

Guys, please tell me how to add a domain to Premium. CO Auction(SEDO) For Global Entrepreneur Week.
From the panel it does not work.

I asked Sedo the same question and their answer was that it is a themed auction coordinated with the registry, no more information given.

For those interested...I countered at $1200, they countered at $800, I accepted.

Thanks in advance

 

[Pryda]

Yea there is a 5,99usd code for up to 5 new .co registrations

[dragtastic]

Just sold a 3 letter .co for $500 and had an offer of $500 for comic.co - im going to hold onto comic for a while

 

[namemarket]

You deserve the NP Nerves of Steel award for choosing to hold those 3 names instead of $5401.

Ditto. Without any traffic stats (quite unlikely they get traffic) the domains are reg fee values.
