.co .CO - The Discussion, Showcase and Sales Report Thread

[TOXX]

Well, it seems like Colombia will be releasing .CO to the internet market:

This could truly be a big competitor to .COM (especially being a "typo").
I would say with proper guidance .CO could REALLY have a bright future!

Let me know your thoughts please.

432.co sold for $400.

432.co sold for $400.

The "4" doesn't fly very well in the Chinese community, especially at the beginning. Whoever was the seller was taking a big chance. So $400 is reseller price, that's clear. There are no top TLDs that have been developed for 432.

Development and new ideas are the name of the game. 160 would has a lot more worth than 432. It all comes down to meaning and development. 432 has very little going for it, at the moment. Would be lucky to get $5000 from an end-user.

Would have been OK at $1000.

That's an obvious reg fee name. Especially with that .CO tacked onto the end. This is most likely another constructed transaction designed to prop up the extension. Either that or a money laundering exchange between two parties. IMHO

How clearly you see things. Must be money laundering. That $4000 has money laundering written all over it....:]

Lol I sold it and was happy to do so. It will never be worth $5k but the buyer might be able to profit from it.

And it's on to the next...

Thanks

Both sold at Sedo.

Received a offer of $1500 for a premium letter LLL.co domain. Not sure to accept it or not. Its not a dictionary domain, it ends with "O"

What do you think?

PS : I can't disclose the domain name until I take a decision

If the acronym hasn't a big potential (which you can find out using Google), I'd accept the offer if you received it privately or push the name to auction if you received it via Sedo.

I can't imagine why you would take an offer without countering unless it might go to UDRP.

$1500 is a serious initial offer. I would counter with $5k or more.

You won't get more in auction on Sedo because domainer prices for lll are mostly around $20-300 from what I've seen and paid. You are very likely dealing with an end user so there won't be much competition in an auction. Sending to auction might just annoy the person who wants to buy it. IMHO it is better to just negotiate with the buyer. Start high...if they are willing to pay $1500 it is unlikely they will be scared away by a counter of $5k. You can always back down a bit.

I'd counter with $2500 but take the $1500 if they won't offer more.

I would jump on that offer and thank the lord for a rare opportunity to cash in on .CO. IMO.

I'd say you're just about in the typical recent sale range for LLL.co's, possibly a little higher than usual. If it's not a dictionary word, it's definitely in the low x,xxx range unless the buyer is an end-user or if the acronym is easily recognized/popular. There's about 60 past sales of LLL.co on DNSaleprice that you can take a look at. That might be a decent indication of the price, considering it's just a generic LLL

i would take the offer blade

Do you just love to troll forums and give bad advice? you were just an annoyance before but when you cost people money because of your trollish behaviour then you are becoming a REAL problem. I hope no one listens to you. Giving people rubbish negotiation advice is beyond the pale, MicroGuy. The people interested in the domain obviously don't think it's worthless like you do.



I really don't understand advice of "take the offer"...you guys aren't going to make any big money doing that...you know that right?


$1500 is a good price for a lll. I'm not disputing that....but it's also a first offer and taking the first offer is foolish.

I think taking the offer is a wise decision. Playing games could blow the deal and another $1500 offer is unlikely.

Taking the first offer isn't foolish if it's well above market value. In the case of triple premium LLL .co, $1500 is fantastic selling price!

 

[johname]

taking the first offer is foolish.

ever ask for a nickel more and lose a deal? It happens. It happens.

ever turn down a first offer and get a UDRP instead of a second offer? It happens. It happens.

I lost $2500 on a .co because I countered. Sometimes it's a costly decision :imho:

 

[MeanMrMustard]

Fair points, guys. Neither of those scenarios have happened to me but I can imagine they would be very frustrating. Sometimes it is wise to be conservative and not swing for the fences every time. I may have actually blown a $1000 sale yesterday by holding out.

 

[divamsharma]

Sold wwg.co for $1k via Godaddy !

What if he counters and the prospective buyer isn't interested in the name anymore? Being a domainer means you need to know when you can counter and when you can't (if you can, you also need to have the perception of how much you can counter).

Yes, that can happen....but....if you accept the offer there is no going back....it's all a guessing game....just make the best decision you can. There is no way of knowing how much a buyer is willing to pay but it's easy to find out (maybe the hard way) what their ceiling is. :D
