.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.

Thanks for posting. Nice sales, especially Mozart. :kickass:

What I still don't understand, is how do you know for sure what your .co is worth? Like which ones are worth digging your heels in for and reaching for the sky, and which ones you just sell, assuming you aren't desperate for the cash. To me Chef has more commercial value than Mozart. Do you just assume every buyer has deep pockets?

I know the real answer is experience and it depends on the name, but where is the threshold between reasonable and unrealistic expectations? Does anyone have an internal litmus test?

I think it's more a question of luck here. Sales in .co are much less predictable than in .com for example.

You can't get 25k if you don't know how to say no to 7k

Yep. The really tough part is when you're offered $20k. If you don't pass on $20k, you'll never get to $25k or higher.

It's easy to say, "I'll sell it for $50k" but when the potential buyer counters with an offer of $20k in cash, that's a defining point in a domain negotiation.

 

[Nattydomain]

Good point. You got to have balls or dont really need the money. I have 3 solid .co domains (IMHO) and have them set mid X,XXX and one XX,XXX

Of course if a decent offer comes in below that I will take it because I am in the needs the money category. If I was not though then sure, I would hold back. I feel more people know .co and understand it better then they would almost a .net

So it's a matter of sheer nerve and I guess the reasoning is, if someone will offer you $7000 or $20,000, then chances are someone else may well later too, though it could be a very long time. And that makes it even more important to know the value of what you are selling, and comparables will help there too. Experience and a good grasp on the market will give you that gut feel if it is a once-in-a-lifetime offer, or the first of many.

I don't have prices on my .cos, partly so they can be listed in a few marketplaces. Also as a newbie, I think my idea of their value may evolve over time, as I learn more about what makes a domain desirable or less desirable, and where they fit in that continuum.

I think part of the needing the money is a cycle. If you can start off selling for higher numbers, then you can continue to hold out and do that. Sell yourself short and you have to keep selling low to stay afloat.

If you get an offer of $7,000 you know that your name worth something and that you will received other offers. We are 7,195,915,458 people on earth. I don't believe that there is Only 1 buyer of the 7 billions people in the world.

.CO are shorter than .com its shorter than .whatever and its more professional.
If the .com is taken and it is not for sale the eyes of the businesses should go on .CO.

Its just a question of time before we see bigger sales.

So i had to take down Species.co .parked it till i decide what to do with it.

Hi guys, very glad to found a thread about .co because in my last months i became a bit obsessed about them. Actually i'm searching only for .co s ) Unfortunately i have found about their existence a bit to late but even now, from time to time, i'm finding a good one still available.

I am wondering if I could get some feedback on some CO domains I own from some CO experienced domainers. Maybe an approach with the domains I own or some rough pricing ideas. How much would you expect to get for some of these? Thank you

I own the following CO domains


blackdiamonds. CO
griddle. CO
PST. CO
734. CO
BCP. CO

I got an offer of $3k on 1 of my 1 worded dictionary .co's from a design firm that basically takes someone's idea and transforms it into a concept. I sent them my counter offer but we couldn't agree on a price.

So if anyone has a good one worded dictionary .co, I'd hold onto it and depending on what word it is, ask at a minimum of mid $x,xxx to $xx,xxxx.

For the LLL.co id expect sales in the mid $xxx to low $x,xxx - that is based on what I have sold my lll.co's for - Sold 4 thus far ranging from $450-$1,200 - I bought most of my lll.co here on the boards or through godaddy - today I doubt you can get any LLL.co for less than $xxx. Unless its a non premium letter combination

Mind listing the LLL.co you've sold?
& I would have accepted the $3k offer imo

i see that some are redirecting their .com to their .co

for example launchrock.com to launchrock.co lol that's interesting, till now only the reverse i saw
