I got an offer for Foru.ms
The offer was for $2000, but I'm not sure I should do it. I'm thinking about hanging onto it for a bigger offer. Tell me what you think I should do.

Sell now. Don't even ponder keeping it.

It'll be hard to get another $2,000 fish on that hook.

I agree, it is a nice name but I don't think domain hacks can be worth nearly as much as a premium .com, or other .tld. $2000 is great for this domain, and you wouldn't have to pay that large renewal fee to renew it.

if you develope it you may have a chance to sell it for big time..
thats im sure what the buyer has in mind to do....

but if your short on cash and need the money , maybe sell than

Take the money and run :sold:
IMO it's a decent offer for a domain hack with an exotic TLD.
Big sales of exotic TLDs are rare, even with premium keywords B-)
Sales like blo.gs are the exception, don't forget it.
Unless you have more lucrative plans for the name, seize the opportunity.

I would hang on to it personally but the choice is up to you and how bad you need the cash. The better question is did you negotiate it up to 2k or was that the first offer? If this was the first offer made you could probably counter it back at a higher amount.

I would take it too :) I don't see the appeal of domain hacks (if that is what it is called ?) but I don't know anything about them either :hehe:

Have there been any/many other previous sales with these sorts of domains ?

Good luck :)

It depends on how confident you are that you can make more with the reinvestment of that money. Blo.gs sold to a big company, and Foru.ms is just a step down. Normally I'd jump at $2,000 too, but I've got a knack for finding great bargain names at around that price, so I would feel more confident with the money than with that name. There was a time when domain hacks like that were worthless, but they're becoming more and more popular. They're still stigmatized for the most part right now, but del.icio.us especially has gotten some people to see that such names can work out well. If I were you, I would at LEAST start run a forum on the name while you have it, which is easy enough to do with phpBB...just a general all-around forum (see a place like MySpace for how you would split categories). Even if it becomes just a little popular, it illustrates to possible buyers the potential the name has.

Even if you like $2,000 and would take it, I would counter with more, $3,000-$5,000 depending on how much or little you need the sale. Barely anyone offers the most that they can and are willing to on the first offer.

I think it's a no-brainer: Sell!

Why Yahoo is trying to brand blo.gs, I guess I just don't see it. The same goes for foru.ms in my opinion.

$2,000 is good money for a domain name. I would sell.
