domain 11 year old, radioactive domain

[amoeba]

half-life.org

I got this because of the scientific term relating to exponential radioactive decay. But it's also a popular video game. Raise your hand if you've played it. (I haven't, but some of my friends have.) What do you you think it's worth?

I know hyphens are usually lame, but both the scientific term and the game are written with a hyphen. Also, it has a 1998 regdate.

I think the age will appeal to some buyers, im no expert on .orgs, but it must be worth something if not for it's age and novelty value.

"Age" is the most overblown thing in the domain game.
Yes, Virginia, people registered crap in 1997 too...

It's KILLING me that I can't find it, but John Ruskin had a fantastic quote about old things whose only virtue was their age... It applies perfectly to people who think that "age" means much.

Perhaps age means a something if you can get a real stone-aged domain (1980's, lets say), but that's on novelty alone if they keyword strength and/or brand value isn't there, but for something 11 years old, it means little.

I agree with you, but people like it, and pay money for it, what can i say, i just appraised a llll.com on here which to the untrained eye looked about $200/$300, but everyone bar me (who said around $500) reckons it's worth $1000.

it's not bad.. but not point in starting a gaming site.

halflife com/net/org exist
half-life com/net exist

and there TONS of other half life sites....

it just isn't worth it for a gaming site... especially since the game is fairly old now.

Could be used for something else though.
