domain Appraise BOOQZ.COM

[Pat8]

Please tell if it is really Branable?
BOOQ.COM was sold for $2k and it is redirected to BOOQBAGS.COM.
Hence BOOQZ can be used for BOOKS!
Also pronunciation of BOOQZ is nearly same as that for BOOKS.

 

[Pat8]

Is it not worth anything? More than 7 years old and also 1st registered 10 years ago.

 

[Pat8]

Can somebody please appraise SIPS.XYZ too?

 

[Pat8]

BUMP

 

[Nerevar]

It is brandable, OK.
Some $8 reseller price and $1000 end-user price, with a 0.5% probability of sale per year.

 

[Nerevar]

sips.xyz -> not sellable

 

[Pat8]

What does "0.5% probability of sale / year mean?"

 

[Nerevar]

That for every 1000 domains of this quality, about 5 domains sell per year.

 

[Nnamdi]

@Nerevar, which software do you use in checking the reseller and enduser price?

 

[Nerevar]

My brain

 

[Nnamdi]

Wow, I love that. You are an experienced domainer then.

 

[Nerevar]

Probably not as experienced as many others on this forum. However, it is certain that software appraisals are no good, as nearly all expert domainers agree on that.

I personally do not see a profit being made here.. Someone looking for a brandable for books can easily find better and more appealing than BOOQZ

Yes, this is more or less my point too. There are chances to sell, but if you calculate them (as I did, approximately), the expected profit is at the regfee or below.

I say it's worth reg fee or less. I love names with a letter change that still sounds like the original word. But to do that and then add "Z" at the end kills it. Even perfectly spelled keywords with "z" added has trouble selling well. There is a tone of names like that available to handreg.

I would stay away from misspellings like this. They can sometimes work well as brandables but liquidity for such names will be low.
In hacker/leet parlance bookz would be better. I don't see value in booqz.
