It was not too long ago where I was in contact with the owner of backpacks.info and he wanted to sell it to me for $500, but unfortunately could not afford it and kept putting it off! Now I am really kicking myself!

Appraisals sought for the following:

Backpack.info

I also own the following good backpacking names (Feel free to offer feedback on these also):

backpackers.org
backpackers.info
backpackcheap.com
backpackerforum.com
backpackerforum.co.uk
backpackersforum.com
backpackersforum.co.uk
backpackforum.com
backpackforum.co.uk

 

[Idees]

I'd say $1k-$1.5k

This is because the plural form of backpack is used more often.

I think the singular is worth more. Backpack.net was regged in Sep 97 Vs Apr 99 for Backpacks.net, Backpack.org was regged in Mar 99 Vs Apr 02 for Backpacks.org. Backpack.biz was regged in Sep 03 Vs Jun 07 for Backpacks.biz.

Most importantly, Backpack.info was regged in Sep 01 with a trademark Vs Sep 04 for Backpacks.info. Backpack.com was regged in Dec 94, the WHOIS doesn't say when Backpacks.com was regged so you can't make a direct comparison.

I would approach the buyer and offer them Backpack.info for $5,000 for a direct sale with no Sedo fees and see what they say.

I think the buyer significantly overpaid for Backpacks.info. I would value it at $500-$1,000. On dnsaleprices.com there are only 2 previously reported sales for the keyword "Backpack", which suggests it's not a particularly lucrative domaining word. It's literally a shoestring industry, so there is a limit to how much cream you can skim off for providing information on it.

Cheers thanks for taking the time to write that excellent feedback.

I agree, with you in regards to the buyer over paying.
