domain 20.com

[Jason Calacanis]

I bought 20.com for $75,000 and seven years ago. Have been getting 20-30 emails a week from China asking if I would sell it.

I don't need the capital right now, but I am considering selling it if the buyer is a major internet company (not going to sell it to a domain speculator). What do you think a major chinese internet company would pay for it.... and how would one start a discussion with them?

To be 100% honest with you I think some of these posts are VERY unrealistic. I am based in Asia and 99% of my buyers are in China. If you needed the cash and wanted it sold you could achieve minimum $2m USD in today's market and up to possibly $3m USD. For an end user which most likely would be in Asia I think you could achieve around $10m USD. With China it is all about the meaning in the name. Have you looked into what 20.com actually means? Obviously the 0 is 1 of 2 bad numbers in China but it is all about the sequence itself. I would recommend researching the actual Chinese meaning of the 2 numbers and then looking in to possible end users to get a rough price of what you could sell it for to a end user. Hope that helps.

Your domain is of high quality in today's market with Chinese investors looking to acquire such domains. You've a good chance of making money now.For these,initially its better to consider all kinds of offers.The Chinese domain market is hot right now which I guess would be for at least a few months if not more.Such domains are in huge demand.But you need to act quickly to sell your stuff,since we're leaving in a volatile and fluctuating market.While you may get a lot of different opinions in this forum.But my advice to you would be take anything at least a million dollar or above and move ahead, if there's a potential buyer waiting to acquire 20.com right away.Don't waste time and wait too much.But then again if you're sitting on too much wealth like millions ,then you can afford to wait longer.Hope this helps.

Agreed.

Be also extremely careful with account security as you are holding something very valuable. Once you advertise stuff like this, bad guys will try to crack and phish you. Even resetting router is a good idea to get a fresh IP. I do that every few hours I visit forums.

Hey Jason, aren't you the owner of Mahalo, so owned a major internet company, I am sure you wouldn't find any difficulty to find connections. BTW, nice to see you here. We are connected on LinkedIn (if you are the same Jason I am thinking about)

Jason I found this:

6. Zero at the end is good. On the contrary a nice round number with one or two zeros at the end is, on average, more valuable than a random number combination. An example: 100.com was sold last year for $950,000 in a private transaction. Why is this? Simple: numbers ending with 0 are easy to remember and desirable for brands

No doubt, Its a super premium domain name worth more than $5m+ Good Luck

@jason calacanis I'd suggest to use a service like https://www.markmonitor.com/ to protect your valuable domains. Brands do that. Domains sitting in simple Godaddy accounts may not be that safe. It's like the difference between safe and vault.

I would put it on a for sale page asking $10,000,000.

Does it get any traffic? lol

 

[cocaseco]

Out of curiosity, why do you care that the buyer is not a domainer? I know most people, myself included, could careless who the buyer is as long as they offered the most.

 

[pdevananth]

You are holding one of the 100 possible names..
I feel its wise to sell through some brokerage firm..

This is unique piece. No need to rush on sale.

Put price tag of 20 mln. on it and wait another 5 years. Market will eventually get there.

The Chinese market for number and short domains is a kind of insane bubble right now. That said, even when the market crashes, a domain like yours will still be standing tall. Surely, you must have connections if you are looking to get top dollar now. If not, I can suggest a couple trustworthy Chinese brokers.
