I saw some domainer pro had c-h-i-c-a-g-o.com and it got me to thinking/regging.

Any value in my b-o-s-t-o-n.com?

Is this an a-wipe thing to do . . .

Some guy named Rick Swartz has c-h-i-c-a-g-o.com, and he seems to do pretty well with domains. So I started checking major cities just like the one he had. So I regd a couple of them.

They say imitation is the best form of flattery right?

If you listed some sales with L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L we do do a comparison

isn't he the guy who paid 200k for flowers.mobi?

If you keep going, you may hold the record for most hyphens in a portfolio

:stop:

Better question to ask would be: has he had success selling these types of names ?

He owns some gems but he also has a lot of bad names in his portfolio. There are quite a few domainers who have better portfolios than his. No offense of course, just putting things in perspective.

Lemmings are imitators too.

Yes, it was a gamble and he could afford to lose. A gamble is not the same as insight. In his own words, he was following the money.

I don't see value in this name, it's more the novelty type. Can't remember one recent, comparable sale.

I wish i could say your domain has high value but in my opinion this domain has no value. Sorry :cigar:

1 hypen is ok but not to crack up a word. To split 2 words it's ok. I'm sure there are thousands of these domains right now available for hand reg. I'd say even not worth the hand reg fees. Tell me if you ever see any of these being sold

Multiple dashes don't seem to do good.
I dropped many L-L-L.com names because did not get any traction with them and many were great ones.
How do you communicate b-o-s-t-o-n? Visual communication is ok, but oral is awful. Also, search engines treat dash as a separator of words, symbols, so for google that would mean basically 6 letters, not a word.

And another bad thing about it: typing is not easy, when after each letter you have to go back to dash...

And on the businesscard it takes place :p :p

Guess that guy doesn't know much after all. I wonder how he even got mentioned if those types of domains are so bad? No worries, it was worth the gamble for a 1 year reg!

The value is negative $9 or whatever you paid for it. Single hypen names are OK to split 2 words and they sell well.
Rick Schwartz owns some of the finest domains, but c-h-i-c-a-g-o.com is NOT one of them.

In this example I agree but in general I disagree, one hyphen is enough to give me pause for thought, never mind one after each letter.

Hand registering domains isn't as black and white as if available to reg it has not value. You have to know what you're doing and how to spot names that have commercial value.

All my names are hand regged. And i'm talking about 8 years of domaining. I sold a lot of it. Still there is potential tho. The weirdest and only 1 with a hypen i sold was m-pi.com if you say boston-city.com for example that could be alright. But avoid again multiple hypens
