opinion How Much Should I Ask for This Domain

[jamaltq]

Hello Guys
I have a domain name related to a company with $18B market cap.
How much should I ask for it.
Thanks.

Your job is to sell a domain for a price you can live with. The buyer is almost always masked and its of no consequence who it is.

Is there a different price at the supermarket for eggs depending how much money you have in the bank? The answer is its the same price for Warren Buffet as it is for a homeless guy.

Pricing a domain mainly based on perceived buyer pocket is why domainers are routinely called squatters.

I see both sides.

On one side you want to extract the most money possible on every domain sale.

On the other side people can have some pretty unreasonable expectations when it comes to large companies. They often don't need the domain as bad as you think.

However, the comparison to a supermarket is off IMO as every domain is one of a kind. At a supermarket all the products are the same, nothing is unique.

The more unique an asset the more subjective value is.

I think you didn't get point.
I can easily appraise any 4 letters domain name.
The issue here is that the name fit with a $18B market cap company.

It doesn’t matter the company. Price your domain not the company. Those who have most are sometimes the cheapest.

How Much Should I Ask for This Domain

WHICH DOMAIN?!

 

[DrJacoby]

A cool billion at least.

 

[forge]

6 to 7 fig

7 figure? C'mon, man!

You don't even know the domain.

 

[bmugford]

It depends.

Is the domain generic, high quality, or just some random letters?

How bad does the company need it?

How deep is the pool of other potential buyers?

Obviously $1,000 is not going to cut it. I would basically tell the buyer to make a serious offer if they are interested and not respond with an asking price.

Absolutely not. Your job is to find out who is knocking on the door, especially if the name is valuable.

A lot of companies with deep pockets, hire brokers who will protect their identity and that of their clients, in order to get a better price. They'll go to great lengths to do so.

It's fair play to ask what it's worth to them, If you can find out or know who they are.

The main point is that the name is related to a huge company.

The main point is, we are not psychics.

DM the ones you trust most who posted here.

The issue here is that the name fit with a $18B market cap company.

Just stating that a company has a market cap of $18B, without mentioning the domain, is not the way to appraise your unknown domain.

Sorry to disappoint.

Exact match = TM problem?

 

[dido90]

No one can tell without knowing the domain name and the company

 

[BrandVenue]

Depends on their need and the domain name in question IMO.

You said it's exact match domain name related to a company with $18B market cap and it's a 4L. Is it exact match of their company name? or does it matches with their stock ticker symbol or acronym? Have you received offer from them or are you thinking about doing outbound to them? If you didn't receive any offer from them then they are probably doing fine without the domain name. If it's their stock ticker symbol or acronym then they don't absolutely need the name but it's worth at least high 4 figure to low 5 figure. If it's exact match of their company name and there are no TM issue then you should ask 6 figure as this kind of chance don't come often.

 

[Future Sensors]

You're not even mentioning the domain name.

Please use the Appraisal section.

 

[Future Sensors]

Exact match

Again: please move this to the appraisal section.

We can appraise domains only with specific info.

You should know this, as you've been an active member of namePros since 2009.

Thanks.

Yes they have sent an offer for $1k.
Thanks

You should ask at least $19 Billion

 

[frank-germany]

Sounds like major trademark issue to me considering the poster won't even post the name. What's with you uwon?

study TM law

We've established that you hold the exact match com domain name of an $18B market cap company. You're asking how much should you ask them to buy it for. Have you done any research for past sales of similar names that are currently being used by similar companies? That would give you a clearer indication of reality.

 

[jamaltq]

Ignored it.

You and @karmaco are both right.

Imo, when pricing your domains, you already have to know about potential end-users and what they will be prepared to pay for your domain, and price accordingly.

This thread had a false start from the beginning. We're still busy cleaning up the confusion.

May be the company does not need this particular name.

The most from USA

Does is tell you HOW 800 - 1000 people came to your name? Did they type in the domain because that could be used in a future deal. That's potentially 12000 lost customers for the company. Loose figures but you get me blud?

 

[jamaltq]

I will not respond to the thread anymore.

 

[frank-germany]

7 figure? C'mon, man!

You don't even know the domain.

what I know means 6 to 7 fig
