domain Bid.sc - All Opinions Appreciated

[Scott.LV]

I have the domain BID.sc.

I don't usually stray from the .com but this was too tempting.

I'd like your guys' thoughts on a value of this domain. Online auctions are a great site these days

Anyone have an opinion of this domain? Or .sc speculation in general?

I like the keyword but hate the extension. Nobody knows about .sc. I would be interested in fully developing the domain and providing it a good home if you are interested in selling.

I'm currently in the process of buying another bid.* domain so let me know quickly please.

Regards,
Peter

Just to let you know that the buyer in November never paid for webhosting.sc and hosting.sc so those prices aren't valid. Sedo cancelled the sale.

Thanks for the info.

I've just taken these sales data from Namebio.com , so you might want to contact them to update their sales database.

It's a bit hard to give values of .sc domains as there are limited sales. I would say this name is definately worth in the $xxx range though.

never heard of .sc extension, but a great KEYWORD "BID" GREAT.


Big.sc sc also somewhat makes a sound of "see" Bid see bid.sc,

I would praise around mid to top XXX. good luck mate.

 

[navigator72]

I'd say low XXX

I appreciate all your appraisals. I hand regged this domain, so aside from the steep registration fee, I feel it was a good investment.

If the .sc takes off I'll feel pretty good about this reg.

Hi Scott,

Sorry I didn't respond back to your PM. I actually went with another bid domain. I appreciate your quick response. I think it's a great keyword, just don't need two of em

.sc is the TLD for Seychelles.

But it was once marketed as domain for Scotland and it has been used sometimes for South Carolina as well (in the example of myrtlebeach.sc that I mentioned earlier)

This would add some development potential to this name.

 

[Scott.LV]

I was thinking of purchasing and running an auction script on the domain to try to and draw some traffic/Adsense revenue.

The script I want to run is $200+.

Is this worth doing for this domain or a waste? Let me know what you think.

-Scott

 

[Scott.LV]

Any other thoughts? Also, what do you guys think of my idea in post #13, worth it?

-Scott

 

[dman_2007]

If i were you i wouldn't do it, the name doesn't really matches with the extension. .sc marketed as source by whois.sc and it worked, but doesn't really makes sense with bid. wordtracker and overture for bid is not all that great either, but that's just my personal opinion.

Nice Name + Bad TLD = Average Value (Purely My View)
