My post was removed because I said I was not the owner. Oops, didn't realize that and wanted to remain a bit anonymous.
Anyhow, I am the owner of the domain and am trying to get some ideas, input on how I should proceed.
I am not a buyer and selling of domains so really don't know how to go about selling one such as this one but am not new to the whole domain game in that I've had to register a fair number of them for work over the last 20 years.
I registered this domain in 1995 with plans to build a site but never got the chance to.
Around 1999 or so, offers started coming in for the domain and to this day, they come in pretty much every month. A recent one got me talking with my wife about this and with everything going on in our lives, we don't see ourselves using the domain. I simply have too many projects on my plate.
In some cases, I have offered to rent it/lease it via contract to someone who might be very serious and have some good ideas for using it. I would have entertained a deal such as equity in the venture for example but nothing ever came of that.
Now that I am thinking about selling it finally, I have a ton of questions which is what brought me here.
First, how can I value this domain? I've looked online and I've talked with brokers over the years because many have contacted me wanting to broker it for me. Some say sell it for what you feel you are comfortable with and others say it has a specific market value. I don't really buy on the second one because like a house, if someone wants it badly enough because it suits their purposes, they will buy it at what ever they feel they can pay for it.
We have been offered 5 to 6 digits in the past and never kept any contact information because we've always said no thanks.
While we had specific ideas for what we wanted to do with the domain, it seems that countless dating sites have contacted us to see if we would sell. Therefore, we feel our main market might be along the following.
Dating site, Health care, Pets, Animals and countless other areas where this word could fit.
We are in no rush to sell and basically just looking for information on how to best get the word out about this.
If anyone can offer some suggestions, it certainly would be most appreciated.
Hope I'm posting this in the right place.
NOTE: Thank you for your previous posts/thoughts which were deleted and hoping this has not caused too much confusion.
