Here is may take.......

If your into the Bio Genetics field and could contribute your knowledge and info, then I would say this is a nice name for development (forum, blog, ect..).

Now as for value and reselling, Im not seeing anything that would constitute a winner here.



1. Taken in only one extension.

2. Not seeing any decent end-users that may bite on the name (hyphen is an issue).

3. Exacts (which is the initial revenue builder) is only at 480.

Now with that said...........I actually like the term myself, but others may not see it that way.

Without the hyphen you would have obvious more value and use.

Now with that said.............................If you ever do have plans to develop let me know.

We can brainstorm with one of my names i own. Bioenergetics with the org.

I’m a domaining newbie but here is my two cents….


Hyphen aside, it’s a very memorable name and it describes an actual industry. While not ideal, the hyphen may not matter to an end user who is just looking for a simple name related to biogenetics.


Every name we buy is technically a gamble but it seems to me the risk here is worth taking because there is a clearly defined industry of people you can target. If you add in a nicely developed website and / or some creative marketing I could imagine a company or biogenetic engineer spending at least $xxx - $x,xxx for it.


But this is just the humble opinion of a newbie domainer


Biggie because you seem to be a more experienced domainer, I would love a little more insight into your thinking about the name. How do you imagine you will sell the name and to who (to a biogenetics company, a company in another field or an individual who works in or is interested in the field)? How much do you think an end user would pay for it?

Best of luck.

Hi Stan


That was quite an observation.


you may be a new bee, but you ain't "brand new".


I snagged the name first, because I've always been into the sciences.

knowing that bio-genetics is growing industry with huge implications, it was a no-brainer to purchase.


I've had the name less than a year and have received offers for it on sedo.


when I acquire domain names, finding a potential buyer per se' isn't the main factor, because I don't go looking for buyers.


typically I try to select domains, which could be viable solutions for a variety of related businesses and services.


imo...

Thanks for the compliment Biggie, “you ain’t brand new” made me chuckle


It’s nice to understand your thought process about the name a little better, so thanks also for that insight. Your strategy to select domains that can be solutions is obviously smart because people want solutions and are willing to pay for them.


When I contemplated the idea of domaining my first instinct was to aggressively seek out potential buyers, but not in a way that would be perceived as annoying or spammy. I have recently become aware of some potential risks of reaching out to end users (especially via email) and I am rethinking that strategy.


You said that you don’t go looking for buyers and I’m curious about why you don’t. Do you believe that buyers who find you are more likely to buy? Are you concerned about being accused of spam tactics? Do you utilize some sort of top-secret, genius strategy that you learned from some old, wise domaining ninja? My newbie brain is racing with possibilities, care to share?

Stan,

you will soon see that difference, if you already haven't.

I learned early, to buy domains with "current or inherent value".

in that they either had or produced revenue (generic/typo type-in domains with measurable Overture traffic), or were part of a demand category(LLL/NNNcom/net/org).


once you build or buy a revenue stream, then you can afford to speculate on those possible "solutions" to fit the e-u needs.

a 'sustainable' portfolio, provides the 'leverage' and 'interval' for if, or when, you 'have' to sell a name.


therefore, based on 'probability'.....sooner or later someone will inquire about one of your domains.

and when they do...

"you" set the price, to "remove" that domain from your "portfolio".

as for 'soliciting', I despise those who indiscriminately send out emails, particularly those who spam other domainers with their crappy names, and I created a thread here about them here on np.

my strategy, if any, is to wait to be contacted.

because you never have to explain why or how, that domain will benefit the potential buyer.

they (the buyer) already have idea in mind, before they even contacted you.

so only issue will be price, and that's where 'leverage and interval' kick in.


imo....

Biggie I appreciate your awesome response; you shared a lot of valuable information and strategy in those sentences! Because my current portfolio of hand registrations is short on names that naturally generate revenue I cannot implement your exact strategy at the moment.

However, I really do enjoy developing creative marketing strategies so I’m trying to figure out how I can draw buyers to my names. It’s quite a challenge but one I think will be fun for me to take on.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
