domain Appraisal needed on a generic Spanish domain

[Sleepys]

I recently received a lowball offer on a generic Spanish one word .net I own. I was hoping I could get some opinions on it. I would rather not post the name here, so the person who made the offer doesn't see, any appraisals by PM would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Any help here?

I will post the name here in the thread, and take it out after I get some opinions (hopefully).

-- (English Translation)

1,900,000 Google Results (591,000 with quotes)
Keyword Discovery shows 784 monthly searches for the term "--"

I also own the idn version, which is the proper form, but is not as heavily searched. As I mentioned in the above post, the offer is a lowball offer, but I am curious what people think of the value. -- is a generic term, but there are many companies that use it in their name.

Any opinions?

No Opinions?

I need to at least reply with something before the Sedo offer expires :loveyou:

It's not a bad name. I'd say low $xxx even to mid/high $xxx

:D

Thanks. + Rep Added.

Any other opinions?

I think you can try to get mid to high xxx for this name. In my experience, most buyers in the Spanish market are not prepared to pay more than that. Good luck.

That is about what I was thinking (hopefully on the higher end :hehe: ).

I'm not as "into" the name as the other posters so far, I suppose. To an end user you might get low $xxx.

In your favor is the fact that the major TLDs are all taken.

On the other side, you have all those businesses with "[name]" in their name. IMO, even though it is a different language, it could be "confusingly similar" (I don't know), and that may greatly limit how a potential end user could or would use the domain, therefore limiting the value, as well as potential purchasing competitors.

For example, [company] has a Spanish-language presence in, at least, Spain. If the domain were to be used in a similar fashion as [company], could it be deemed confusingly similar? It's a complex situation. This is without considering potential trademarks in Spanish-speaking countries, which I personally think should be considered, but I have no idea how to find.

You also have a movie to consider: [movie].

Aside from the trademark topics, the word itself is neither excessively popular (578,000 Google results, 17 WordTracker / day), nor seemingly prone to monetization. Speaking of monetization (and meandering back onto the trademark topic ), one would think that any contextual ads used would need to avoid anything related to the aforementioned movie, at the least.

Overall though, I still think it could fetch a decent return. Maybe someone will not be concerned with any of the above items and blow away my opinion of the domain.

That does not worry me. The fact that companies are using other sites to promote their brands currently I think helps and the fact that it is a generic term, also protects it. It is not being monetized to profit off any trademark, but off the generic term. Also, the fact that a movie has the word in it is irrelevent. Give me any generic word (maybe more like 95%) and I can find you a movie that includes it. The same goes for books.

Also, I prefer Keyword Discovery over Word Tracker. I find it gives more accurate results, especially for international terms.

Thanks for your opinion though.
