question Does German domains sell?

[Marinexorp]

I would like to know some more ideas about selling German domains, is that a good thing to try to sell .de domains/ or possible,

I have registered a domain
gegenseitigefonds.de
Mutual funds

Is this good to do and try to sell any of these?

Please share your experience

my advice:

if you need a translation tool
and the domain is available

there is a reason why

.de is as crowded as .com

Haven't really been active on domain forums for ages, but I'm happy that I stumbled upon this entertaining thread today. To answer the OP's question:

Yes, German domains do sell. Unfortunately, a lot of the domains you see for sale on forums and marketplaces are just plain wrong translations of the English keyword, i.e. "gegenseitige Fonds". That just doesn't exist. Take this advice from a German working in the finance industry. Sorry to break it to you, but your domain is worthless. Let it expire.

Finally: No, .com is not better than .DE for German domains. Germans will use .DE for German keyword domains 99% of the time. Other extensions aren't really in use here, unless a business feels like it has absolutely no choice but having to resort to .COM. For brand names this is obviously different, but for keyword domains .DE is king in Germany.

Are you German?

If you look up your wording/phrase on Google in Germany or elsewhere, its useless. No other company in the world uses it in any form! I know, it means mutual fund parcelled out.

Do like most folks do...place a sales landing page on it and get traffic info and possible sale.

If no sale or inquiry in a year or two, let it drop.

You can only sell beers to German.

[frank-germany]

So you mean these domains may be something right?
I also registered some domain related to real estate as well

I didn't say so

[manpreet]

Agreed with Frank, Quality sells, be it any domain extension.

 

[frank-germany]

don't you even have google translate where you are?

ok
I got you

but you know
you will need to teach the germans
that first
before you can sell it to a german

but maybe you can sell to a non-native german speaker
showing that google translate

 

[frank-germany]

somebody is trying to sell

ChildrensGarden.com

must be you


( the .de is available maybe you should think of getting it )

 

[frank-germany]

sichereversicherung.de
And what you say about this one?

Do you know what tautology means?

a safe insurance?


sell it to the owner of

safeinsurance / com


or that guy:

safe-insurance / com

Frank's not rude. He's a bit more direct than other people.
If you say something on is face which is bitter but true, I believe he will take it.

Frank's not rude. He's German.

Oh that's right, different cultures are not allowed to exist. My bad.

I have a domain but dont know it is worth or not
Heloc.de

I tell you a secret:
nobody knows

 

[TheBaldOne]

.de domains sell all the time, check out any of the reported sales reports on places like DNJournal.com.

Not knowing the German market I couldn't comment on value of any specific domain, sorry.

 

[Shojib]

try .com
its always better

Looking for some ideas actually

sichereversicherung.de
And what you say about this one?

 

[Winterburn]

I already gave you the madel for winning the argument, dude I ain't trying to teach any German anything I just ask for ideas and opinions about it, don't be so rude while trying to deceive people,
I have seen your questions like how to use GoDaddy? Who asks that but you,
If you don't know anything you ask, just as I will ask on same way, I hope you are ok

And I do respect you as a senior
