discuss How do you justify OneFor.com for $10,000

[abstractdomainer]

How do you justify such a price?
The term doesn't make sense to me at all. It looks like an incomplete term to me.
Is there any other attribute that I am missing for this name, that it sold for such a price?

 

[NickB]

I think have I cracked this enigma......

The OP is "Abstract Domainer"

What is the meaning of abstract?

"consider something theoretically or separately from (something else)." OR "existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence."

So really the OP is not interested in the facts or the reality of any given situation but would rather hypothetically speculate on the what if's

Most of his posts now make sense (in a theoretical way).......

A seller who set and kept that price.

 

[CraigD]

It's not up to you (or me) to justify the sale price.

We don't know the seller or buyer, or their intentions for the domain name, so uninformed speculation is rather pointless except as a conversation starter.

Takeaway: I need to increase my prices.

 

[johnn]

Why do I care why?
I only care about what I can sell and I don't need to dig into some nonsense stuffs.
The buyer agreed to buy and paid. Done.
Look like you have too much time for too many questions.

If you are trying to include pandemic in this ..there is no other domain better than One For or FOR ONE ...= unity

You write a lot to just be wrong ..you might understand one day kiddo

ok......

 

[MapleDots]

You write a lot to just be wrong ..you might understand one day kiddo

Then again @NickB could be right.

I mean... if you compare post stats his has a lot more support from members.

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

It's the owner's #1 right to set (and sell for) any price without any justification, there is nothing to justify for the seller (owner) - no matter what domain name it is.

In fact it's always the buyer who justified the price for himself before he decided to buy.

Domain, like art, is subjective.

pray tell me, why did someone pay 46.5 million for " Yellow and Blue" from that list.?

Here's your answer https://www.onefor.com/

It's their brand name "I'm sending you one hundred dollars for the mattress."

 

[MapleDots]

You are thinking about wrong things

Seems pretty clear to me if you read the topic, maybe you can elaborate.

PS. I won't call you kiddo because that would be disrespectful

 

[MapleDots]

First, I don't think the domain sold and second I don't think my response was about the domain.

You basically quoted @NickB and told him he was wrong.

Post stats show he made a pretty decent point

That is all I am saying, nothing else implied other than the fact that maybe you are the one who is wrong in this case instead of NickB.

Judging by the member response to his post it would indicate this to be the case.

Anyways, not looking to come down on you or anything but to me it did not look like you were discussing the domain in the opening post.


As far as the domain onefor.com goes, it was put up for sale for an amount the OP thought was too high. If you look at the highest sales in history they all started with someone asking a higher amount than what some people thought was plausible.

There is no right or wrong price in domaining. Like I keep saying -

Value of a domain = what someone is willing to pay for it!!!

If I feel domain is worth a thousand dollars and if there is someone willing to pay for it... there is a deal! Its like any other commodity or product out there. Its what value it brings to the other person which is important. Till a deal is not done, value of domain is always ZERO (I had created a post regarding this) how till a domain sells for a good price, the returns other investments bring are much higher than via domains!

each of thee above developed website is crying and itching for a shorter domain in .com.

all the matters in the end is which one has deeper pockets.

 

[ABDELDJALIL]

Except in some cases of speculation. Once the domain is sold there is no need for more justification.

Because all necessary conditions were met at the right time (if true).

The person that paid this amount of money for it (if true) is unknown (anonymous purchase) and most probably an art collector = investor who assumes that another one will pay even more for it one day ...

... reminds somehow to the domain name industry.

EXACTLY. One person's trash is another person's gem. The buyer sees value in it.

Many people tend to think this way - but the truth is that as long as a domain name exists, it has (some (specific)) value.

Yes as the person registering the domain sees some value, they register the domain. But till a point it is sold it always has ZERO value according to me because if you go out to sell a domain, its not some kind of asset where we can have some fixed base value. If you have say commodity or stocks, there is always a past company performance and market where you can view current rates and definitely sell at that price. So I consider domains as non-liquid assets. Say if you hold stocks (traded company shares) or commodities like gold then you can easily sell at a quoted price in the market on that date.

If you register a domain name for let's say $ 10.00 USD and sell it for let's say just $ 1,000.00 USD then you have a 100 (99) times the return - a multiplication that is not easy to reach with other investments (exceptions not counted).

Yes true. Value depends on what you get. Like you say as there are no fixed set of quotes, based on market perception of the domain you can expect anything for a domain and if someone purchases the domain then the returns are quite high! Its more like a lottery where you can either keep the domain and add to your costs renewing each year and not getting sold, or you register and its immediately sold at a high price.

My only point with domaining has been that we cant say for sure what the domain gets us. If there is say a 3rd party rating company which can rate domains like a stock exchange or commodity exchange that the value of this domain today is appx $X so if a user has that domain listed on that exchange if he wants to exit he can get that price guaranteed on that date!. That would be a game changer to domaining as an investment.

Sure, domain names are non-liquid assets, that's safe - but this doesn't make them worthless for the time they're unsold since it's simply their potential for a sale that gives them (relative) value and this is the reason why so many domain names exist.

I fully undertand your points - domaining would not be the same anymore.
However, also so called "liquid" assets dosn't have an absolute guarantee to get immediately sold at any time if you don't undersell them / offer them for the best (most competitive) price.

Under certain aspects, the distance between domaining and gambling (which, by the way, I never did) is indeed not a far one.
Nevertheless it is not really compareable because in gambling you can lose everything while in domaining you still have the domain name if not sold - means you still own the potential (depends on the quality) to make a sale (as said above).

As long as one is convinced (based on certain reasons) that this potential is higher than the renewal costs, he won't drop it.
