500.com on eBay!?

[Lux]

What an excellent domain!

500.com has been placed up for auction on eBay.com.
No bidders as of this moment, but it is only at $39,000.

Think its worth bidding and reselling?

Has lots of possible uses - Fortune 500 perhaps?

My appraisal would be a 10% of that

$3900 probably wouldn't even buy the worst quality 3 number .com.

 

[t10host]

The price is much higher than i estimate

I would say yes.

This would be a nice investment domain, I think... it has good traffic already, and could make a tidy profit on a resell in a couple of years...

now where are those mortgage papers... :hehe:

Its only got 47 minutes to go, and no bidders. If anyone wants to bid, the link is http://cgi.ebay.com/500-com-Top-Lev...ryZ11153QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

 

[edit]

Thats a nice premium name for numbers. Doesn't get much better than that. 500.com is a name you wouldn't necessarily forget. I just don't know the kind of business you could put on it to really do it justice as a "Top 500" would ruin the domain in my opinion.

 

[nRnF]

Ended without any bid

 

[vslevin]

If I had $39,000 extra sitting around, I would buy that domain in a heartbeat. I'm very surprised that it didn't sell.

 

[Lux]

Ah, quite sad to see nobody has bid.

 

[Chappy]

Does that mean its not worth $39K?

 

[nametruck]

Hey if I rise money and try to buy that, will I ever regret it, it may be the end of my domaining. ahahaha

 

[snoop]

lets face it, this is the kind of domain that will have an almost 0% roi from traffic for the owner, the only hope is reselling it to someone for more unless the owner wants to spent alot of money/time on development aswell. It is a very risky way of spending 39,000.

Some domains are so expensive that its hard to find a buyer.

I saw "500.com" and my immediate thought was "The Indianapolis 500".

Yes, or Daytona 500, lots of 500-mile or 500-lap racing events.

I could see it selling for that much.

 

[domain54326]

but if the traffic doesnt click and make revenue, then whats it worth?

 

[snoop]

Wow... has a lot of traffic. Suprised it didnt sell! It is worth the 39k... IMO.

the traffic doesn't look to be legitimate, compare it to the traffic at the start of the year.
