Hi,

I am looking at buying this domain via sedo, the owner wants $2400 for it, do you think his asking price is fair? If you had the money, and wanted the domain for development would you purchase it at the requested price? Any feedback appreciated...

 

[filter]

Not too outrageous, but certainly not cheap. Close enough to "fair enough" for an end-user price - that is IF I wanted to develop on just that particular name, and IF I had the money ... I dunno. Is it really that much better than alternatives which might be had for less, or even for reg fee? ie, GasOfTheFuture / FutureFuel / NewGas / NovaGas etc etc etc ... (Maybe put up a post in the "Domains Wanted" section here and see what options might present at a more reasonable price - should see at least a few decent ones closer to $200, I'd expect).

Personally, I would rather own GasFutures (different connotation) ...

PastGas has a certain ring to it too ... :lol:

 

[domainman101]

Here is what I found out about past gas domain sales, and futuregas.com seems to be better than most on the list, based on asking price which I am trying to get lower...but is very hard when you get a response like this, and when Gas prices, and the future of gas is in the news on a daily basis. When someone responds like this, they kind of have a point on fair valuation of their domain? no...? Especially based on the energy markets, and increase in domain valuations?

Thanks for your advice filter, especially on these domains --> GasOfTheFuture / FutureFuel / NewGas / NovaGas .... but they are all taken over 5 years ago. I know GasFutures would be good, but that is a commodity that sells on the nymex, in most likely trillions of dollars in trades per year now, and that will cost me $xx,xxx if not more, seems energy domains are very much in play right now, and if you want them, you just have to pay up.

Domainman,

you are correct, energy names are going way up.

Personally, no I wouldn't buy it as the name doesn't make much sense, but that's just me. Also, we use Petrol, not Gas.

BTW, FuturePetrol.com is available for hand reg if you are looking for those types of names

 

[Spade]

Quite honestly, I dont like the domain name. Unless this is going to be a future business, I would pass

 

[TheBulldog]

I just had mexican food, so I might have an interest in this domain name as well.

 

[domainman101]

Well good news, seller has commented he might consider an auction if I counter offer....... to put it at auction at the $xxx offer price at sedo. So If I win, I win otherwise, I will have to fight off the competition with what I can afford to bid. Thanks for everyones advice, on here, much appreciated. I just hope I am doing the right thing. The value I see in the domain is, gasfutures are a commodity, I will never be able to afford that domain, so futuregas works in a similar concept, as well the future of gas prices is very phrased sentence. It could also be referred to as a replacement energy source, in futuregas. Sometimes you just gotta roll the dice... I guess.........

I don't see what mexican food has to do with this lol :tri:


Ye, I think this is a bit overpriced and unless well developed, it doesn't have big potential. As said before, post on this forum, you will probably get something more reasonable.

Good luck but you should probably edit out your post just in case some joker comes along and decide to go on a bidding war with you.

 

[-REECE-]

Agreed.

It's a great name for development

My first thoughts when seeing the domain before reading the thread was that it'd make a great name to discuss alternative energy.

Thanks, for the advice.... I totally agree, but there are many seasoned domainers on this board, and their advice is priceless... via sedo I have 7 days to consider the sellers counter offer, and try and make a deal happen. I think I am over paying a bit, but some names you just have to have. Thanks, for all the advice...really appreciate it.

i agree. FutureGasPrices.com would be better but i don't see this as being worth $2,000+ for.

the best is go to the auction. good luck

Bulldog, you always crack me up!

Mexican food gives him gas....you know, the one from your bumhole :lol:

I have gasvista.com please ping me if you like

 

[domainman101]

GasVisata.com...I don't understand the vista part of it?

 

[Smiler]

I think Vista means "view" in Spanish. I have to double check on that. So Gas View dot com.

 

[domainman101]

Hi Smiler, Yes you are right vista means view in spanish, Regardless that domain does not fit my needs. Anyone else with opinions on purchasing this domain, and if paying in the $xxx-$xxxx can be warranted?

 

[gazzip]

Depends on what you intend to do with it, do you plan on developing it or trying to re-sell it ?

Have you checked snapnames/namejet to see whats dropping, you may find a better deal/name there.
