[instantinlaw]

Just bought this recently expired domain, what do you guys think?
iAntiquing.com

High $X wholesale price. That is my estimate

"Antiquing" is not a very well-searched term, shown by the fact that it has zero OVT. There are around a million Google results, however I would still say that you'll probably be hard pressed to find a reseller willing to pay more than reg fee for it.

Good luck, and welcome to NamePros! :tu:

This is the kind of name that makes a little bit of sense, but at the same time doesnt make enough practical sense to warrant a big buy. Considering Antiquing is a hobby/passion, sometimes like domaining. The problem is with iAntiquing , your suggesting that the buyer purchase online. I think garage sale and estate sales are typically where people do this kind of activity. It could also be an interesting site about how to find good stuff and appraisal.

The fact that Antiquing .com is taken and developed, does help your cause in this case. I would value the domain just over the valuations right now. Perhaps in the $15-30 range reseller.

Hey, thanks for the opinions. I did a google for antiquing and there are tons of sites. My concept for the domain would be a portal where people could search for antiques sites, etc. Hence internet antiquing. I do plan on building it out before selling. I assume that the value will go up after I monetize it.
Any other ideas?
I have a bunch of other domains though, which I'll post later.
Thanks everyone.

Hey,
Just thought you would like to know that the OVT returned zero results for the word sex. I think it's not working, or am I doing something wrong?

I like your idea! A site like this would definitely improve the value.

I was going to suggest trying out AuctionAds.com once the site is up. I've never used them, but from the sounds of it they would be worth looking into anyways. Your site could display current eBay auctions for various antiques, perhaps? Just an idea that I wanted to throw out there.

You are right my friend! Not sure what's up with that, the system must be down. Thank you for pointing that out!

And I like your idea too. I use Joomla for most of my sites and I believe there is a bridge for AuctionAds, or something similar. There is also an ebay component.
I went ahead and bought all the TLD's for this domain, so if I do sell it, I have a package. I plan on pointing all the other domains to the .com except for the .mobi, which will be a mobile version.
I'm not too bad @ SEO, so I should have a PR of around 3 within 3 months.
Thanks again, and more suggestions are welcome.
