Hello namepros-Community,
I could really use your knowledge for this one. I usually deal in the German speaking markets (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) with .de, .at and .ch. I have a few .com's though. Nom//en//tis//.com is one of them. I registered the name in 2010, because I liked the sound and I intended to use it for myself for a domaining site - nomen is name in latin and mens means mind in latin.
I listed the name on afternic a few years ago. I set the minimum price for all domains there to 1,000 USD. Today I got a message from a broker of afternic with the request to set a floor and BIN price for the domain. The buyer is apparently already willing to invest the 1,000 USD for the name.
My research showed me, that there is a canadian company named Nom//en//tis, that uses the domain Nom//en//tis//.ca. Other than that I do not think there are other established companies that use that name. I personally regret not listing the name on platforms like brandbucket, because it is not a generic term, but clearly meant as a brandable name. Do you like it for that purpose?
What would you advise me? 1,000 USD seems nice, but I already paid 200 USD in registration fees and I do not want to give away one of my few seemingly good .com's too cheaply. Also, I am really confused by the concept of floor and BIN price.
Thanks for any input.
