domain DIYCreditRepair / org

Hi all,

I recently caught this name on a drop (off TDNAM, but don't even get me started with how many times I had to call them for them to transfer it to me, but that's another story...).

It's not exactly the greatest exact search term, but it falls into the popular credit repair genre, and it's taken in all of the major TLDs.

Any ideas on how much it might be worth (most likely to an end-user)? Thanks!

Anyone have any insight on this? Thanks!

Two issues: DIY and .org. I do not see much value in it, worth reg fee undeveloped imo.

Thanks for your input, Jawed; much appreciated.

I guess the idea (from an end-user perspective) was two-fold. The first is that there have been a number of books and how-to guides written on how to repair your own credit without a credit counseling company (I won't get into the debate over the legality of some of the tactics...), and in today's economy more people are feeling the credit crunch and wanting to do something to repair their credit. That's where I feel the "DIY" comes in, since that's a common term found in many of these guides and sites.

The second is that a lot of these "instructors" (again, won't get into the debate over helpful vs. shyster) like to present themselves as non-profit. Look through all of the "credit counseling" companies out there, and most of them use the ".org" TLD (with its popular perception of sites in this TLD being independent and looking out for the common man's interest, at least to the average Internet user) as a way of saying that they're not affiliated with those big bad credit companies.

Again, though, thank you for your input, as it's always a good experience to learn the opinions of others, who can test my ideas in a more neutral manner. If anyone has any more insight on this domain, I'd be more than happy to hear it. Thanks!

I think that there is an end user for this domain name. It is up to you to find them! I, however, am not qualified to give a monetary appraisal.
