domain 1959.org

Is this one of the few NNNN.org domains worth above reg fee?

I think any 19__ or 20__.org are pertinent enough to warrant a sale in the $x,xxx in the right climate (probably not right now) Eventually you may get a good offer

As far as a fluid commodity - I'd give you maybe as much as $60 this second if you want to sell it but a reseller price could be low $xxx

Thanks for the appraisal, Ron.

I've been collecting NNNN.orgs, and this one dropped today.

$250+ easily, collectible name,fits .org well. Good luck!

BTW: If it's 1949.org, I personally would like to pay a much higher price!

I have to go against the grain here and say what happened in 1959? Nothing as far as I am concerned. 1969 would be cool, but 1959? I don't see the value of this name in the .org extension.

well .. there were plenty of events that took place in 1959, with some relevance in the world as far as history goes ... http://timelines.ws/20thcent/1959.HTML , if given the proper content and developed it can range x,xxx potentially, as of now - I have to agree with a previous member .. somewhere around xxx ...

Everyone, thanks for your input.

I'm going to hold on on selling this domain.

If you want to sell for $xxxx + I was thinking you could make something real simple to get people to sign up for something only if they were born in 1959 - and they can win a free prize - this is where your brainstorming needs to come up with somethin....

or


Maybe a free Mickey Mantle 1959 Topps giveaway?


Baseball card collectors/traders are a fairly close demographic to domain name buyers (both resellers and end users)


or

maybe about Cuba


or

a timeline not exactly but close to wikipedia - add some other facts you think people find interesting.

Eventually, the right person may come a long and be willing to pay $2000 or more if there is either an established site with steady traffic - or you cleverly lure them into thinking they need this something they didn't know they needed (i.e. someone born in 1959 who likes to collect stuff) - like any advertiser does (see: Bill Hicks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPKM3iVw3Ok )

Just learned that One Billion seconds ago......

It was 1959.

1959 is a birth-year for many living people (and companies, for that matter); if I ever do find a buyer, I suspect it will be for that reason.

I wish I could develop, but I'm working on three other projects at the moment.
