Are you a Donald Trumper? If you search online many people refer to trump supporters as trumpers, than you got the never trumpers. I believe DonaldTrumper.com is a good name that should hold some value. Iv had lowball offers for it, and one high offer that I denied thinking I would get million dollars. Obviously, thats not happening, but I want to know what I should consider accepting. Their is no way I can just sell this name for $500, to someone, that eventually might sell it for $50,000 when their are so many trump fanatics that would love to have this name. I could see me getting $500,000 for it, because their are NO trump names you can get right now. You personally, cannot get a trump name close to this.. so I would assume that means it holds an intrinsic value.

Trumper.com is for sale at 8k usd

It's a much better domain and you can see even it only has a value of around 8k.

I won't offer any specific comment on the name in question, as the relevant points have been made by others.

However, I would like to comment on the aspect (in OP) of 'I won't sell it for $500 because the person that buys it might then sell it for $50,000' That is true, but they might well lose it in a legal dispute or never find a buyer for it.

Independent of whether this particular name would ever sell for that, in my way of thinking (I could be wrong) there is a fundamental flow in that reasoning.
The $500 offer is certain money (if the offer is a valid one).
The person who buys it with intention to resell has no guarantee that it will ever sell. If the chance is say 1/10 it will resell, the price needs to be $5000 plus costs just to break even. Particularly in political/social names interest turns on a dime, there is a real possibility the name will never find a buyer.

Every time we sell to another domainer we are choosing to take a much lower price, but sure money, rather than a higher price but with substantial risk we will have no sale at all.

For liquid assets, like short letter or number domains, the risk is lower, so the difference between wholesale and retail prices will also be less. Just as in conventional investing, the higher the risk involved the higher should be the reward for those who take the risk.

This is a high risk domain.

PS I would never have registered this particular name, but if it was mine I would have pressed accept on the $500 offer before a single blink of the eye.

BTW it seems to me that the highest value sale including the word 'trump' in any way, but excluding names where it was obvious that it was trumpet that sold, is as I see it was TrumpPence (com) for $18.7k , trumped (com) for $15k, and trump (club) for $7.1k). Here is the full list. TrumpMatters( com), Trump (info) and TrumpGov (com) all sold for $150 or less.

Those are pretty low sells for the trump names. Okay so this one isnt worth much, but if someone was looking for a portfolio of trump names, it would be a top pick.

I personally wouldn't try squatting even if it was correct spelling. The only squatters that really have been paid have lived in a country when it was easier to pay them out when they already paid copyrights etc. If it was DonaldTrump dot com for example and you were in the USA you would just find it deleted from your account with no explanation.

You have every right to live in a fool's paradise. Why don't you contact Donald Trump himself and he may buy and pay you your price of half a million. If you need any assistance to reach Trump, Google may help you, search.

Don't worry about what others are selling it for. Make a quick buck and move on to the next name. You're in it to make money. By the way, what would you appraise CardFalcon.com at?

Im not the one to say, but im pretty sure that holds no value unless your aware of some popular reference to that word.

just because I hand reg. for $1, two weeks ago, that its not worth anything

No, that's not it. It may be worth something, not 500K, probably $50.

Every name at one point was hand reg

Not a good logic to justify a 500K for a handreg. Yes, car.com, hotel.com, house.com were registered at some point, but that was a long time ago when the Internet was in its infancy, so, please, let's distinguish shades and nuances. A hand-reg. in 1990 is definitely not the same as a hand-reg in 2019. And that comes from someone whose entire domaining business depends on flipping handregs, but definitely not for 500K.

DonaldTrumper.com is in the eyes of the beholder

Based on your logic, any domain is in the eye of the beholder, regardless of how strange or patently irrelevant it may be.

the insignificant fact that it was hand reg.

Not insignificant at all...

Trump organization would use a different way of acquiring it from you, pretty sure they can claim a TM on this as Trump is a brand not just a last name. There are Trump wallets for example, if it were just a public figure that would be one thing but there is also Trump Hotels. I would not renew and maybe not sell just drop it.
