domain Dad.com.co

[davetherave]

Quite a few .com.co domains with bids on sedo and they have sold in the past for good money.

I went for short, meaningful and brandable.

I know .com.co is not .com.

Currently on Sedo...

Dad.com - 40 bids (minimum bid $300k)

wine.com.co - 6 bids
jobs.com.co - 4 bids
baby.com.co - 3 bids
bee.com.co - 2 bids

And many more with bids.

Please appraise.

Well if that works for you, then continue otherwise stay basic.
Subdomain is hard to sell in my experience.

I agree, but it looks good.

I know. It's the domain business curse.

Would you say this is worthless or worth holding onto?

 

[TheWatcher]

Sell. Sell. Sell.

 

[davetherave]

Sell. Sell. Sell.

I take it you are winding me up?

 

[davetherave]

Please can someone help me.

Is this worth keeping?

Well, I have very bad experience from .com.co while I have rather good results with .co and have a couple of dozens good .co

My opinion is that 95% will never sell regardless price. The chances to get $$$$ are less than 1% in the coming 3-5 years but still exists.

Com.co needs to be spanish, so Dad.com.co is worse then Papi or Papa.

It's not a subdomain but a third-level extension (like .co.uk or .com.mx). It's the default extension for businesses in Colombia (before .co was opened at the 2nd level).

Do you think it's pretty worthless?

 

[Kate]

Maybe you'll find a business in Colombia that can use the acronym DAD. Since it's a ccTLD, knowledge of the local market is a prerequisite to successful investing. I'm not saying it's worthless, but if there is no buyer and you can't use the domain it's almost the same right ? There are few recorded sales in .com.co, so it's hard to appraise since there isn't enough of an established market.

Why are there quite a few bids on Sedo for .com.co? For example, baby.com.co 4 bids. It's not even Spanish for baby.

 

[Griss]

they can be 10$ bids, you don't know !

Baby is a common English keyword. Like job or news. It can even be branded. It is usable in foreign markets. The interesting question would be how much are the bids.

Isn't Dad a brandable word? It could be a DIY Store, Advice, etc?

 

[Kate]

Possibly. You just need to find a buyer. I don't know how hard or easy it's going to be.

Thanks for your help. I'm still not sure how valuable this is. Dad.com is selling now, maybe if it goes for a lot it might give it half a chance?
