Just got a $200 offer on( holo *c*a*d*e ) today via Efty !

First one and I haven't even had it 2 months. It's not a enduser , just some guy who wants the name for his business which he has another name for , asked what I wanted for an offer and would pay a fair price but not paying anything "outrageous "..........I'm not selling at reseller price and I'm sure he won't like it if I respond , To me the potential value is high 4 digit low mid 5 ...and I'm sure he'll find it outrageous. ( basically 5k gets attention and the sky's the limit after that ) highly doubt I'd sell for less than 10k .

I wouldn't even consider giving it up for less than 5k and even then knowing holo tech sold for 14.5 and just my own personally belief ....I'm prepared to hold out until XX,XXX buyer comes along .

I want to respond without sounding rude but also letting him know he's not the buyer for my name.

Whilst you are probably correct to hold off on the first offer/s, to compare that name to H o l o T e c h is perhaps not a good baseline starting point. Good luck

Though they are not the same name ...what I see in it may just be a different in taste .

But just for fun I'll share the results of a game I played with 2 friends of mine .

I asked each one ( different days too )

"If you had to come up with a domain/ company name that you think would be the best Brandable or version of a "holographic -hologram - Arcade/ game/tech based " company or brand " what would you call it ...what is the FIRST name or words that come to your mind"

2 different friends , 2 different days

1 same exact split second answer

((Holo*c*a*d*e))


Holo /tech// is keyword super Gem I know .


My gut and mind also tell me if and when any one or company decides brand with "holo" or create a holo game based company ".....I'm holding thee go to #1 best choice anyone's going to get . IMO of course!

Reaching for the stars with a rocket ....time will tell how far it goes .

And yea I do see what you mean by baseline starting point,but could work my way to comparing The two. Right out the gate is iffy

 

[DomainBarracksRob]

hey bud.. food for thought... that potential buyer could very well be one of the viewers of this thread... so...

SSSHHHHHH!!!

btw... it’s not me

Lol thanks ...yea why I said I want to find a respectful way to respond.

$200 offer and not knowing who imdealing with is different , as it could always be enduser in disguise . Would be different

Hey it's not a bad name, I get it and do think that a good "brandable" should incorporate the subject matter (holographic game arcade) but H o l o T e c h as the name as suggested is an industry based domain and suitable for many applications. As for your friends, I am wondering why they didn't suggest HoloGame ... why need an arcade? Look the main thing is you have had an offer on a name which is only a good thing. Just gotta know where to place it in the big scheme of things. As mentioned, good luck with it!

 

[FUTRS]

sounds like you may be better off selling that name to your two friends


may i play devils advocate for a moment

.. keeping in mind i have already stated that i also like the name a lot so i'm not working against you...

holoCADE is... what?.. in my mind, this is for a holographic arcade, yes?
now, unless there's a different arcade than what i know... an arcade is basically a building or a place where all sorts of coin operated games exist.. this was very big in the 80's.

so.. if there ever IS a holo Arcade... the only way this name would be something in the area of five figures is if this holographic arcade became franchised... with that said... and i'm asking because i don't know... are there many franchised arcades?

if that answer is no, or not many... i'd probably be a little more realistic with the expectations

Thanks and I see your point as well.

I think , maybe age ..plays a role in our 30's

To me +Game sounds more like 2 words put together .

Where +Cade sounds "cool " and is 1 word . Just how I perceive it. And thanks again !

so... if you could...
... would you trade holoCade for holoGame?

 

[DnEbook]

Interesting to note there was an actual Vr Arcade just down the road from me, sadly not enough interest meant it would close down within a year, before their time? Or perhaps the world has changed?

 

[DnEbook]

so... if you could...
... would you trade holoCade for holoGame?

If it was me ....... in a heartbeat!

and the irony in this statement is that an arcade is very 80's... very old.. classic...def not millennial 30's

@DomainBarracksRob, I really like your thinking here... I think this is one of those situations where "art" meets "science" in the domaining world... Everyone knows "tech" is a killer kw, but it is much harder to suss out a super brandable name - Sometimes you just have to go with your past experience, intuition and gut. JMHO, but I think you have a winner in "Holocade" and I think your mid to upper $$$$ price point is right on the mark. (But, then again, what do I know... I regged "HoloFish" just 'cause I liked the way it rolled off my toungue! )

You make a great point and is a good way to look at . I honestly don't know ..what I do know is that the VRgame centers are poping up all over ...everyday .

It's not vr , but imo holo + Cade sounds better the VR + Cade .

MS already has Hololens........

It only takes one company like " Sony " to get in the holo brand wagon and I think the name is a good contender in emerging technology market. Once again the cool slick easy to pronounce adds to its marketability. I'm not saying it's a winning lotto ticket ...I just think it has great potential .

As for Germany ... Holocade.de. is a site of just that ..a VR/holo game play center .

 

[DomainBarracksRob]

so... if you could...
... would you trade holoCade for holoGame?

I honestly would not. If rather keep Cade .

Doesn't mean I would like to have both

 

[FUTRS]

I honestly would not. If rather keep Cade

oh dude... this would be a huge mistake on your part (if it were possible)
... holo/game will be worth ten times as much as holocade any day and in any country
honestly, this really sin't even all that close either

Thanks @NamesBond also great getting all these kind of positive response from you veterans in the game .


Yes ...hence way I REFUSE to even think of submitting it to BB . It would be funny to see their appraisal or even more funny if they rejected it ...I fall out my chair lol.

Gotta agree with this sentiment... In Vegas, or anywhere, you ALWAYS take the sure money, and the "game" kw is certainly that... (But this said, I still like "holocade" and would have regged it myself if I would've thought of it back in the day when I was acquiring more conventional names like HoloPay, HoloNews and HoloStore, etc... DOH!)
