domain Interest in PhoneTalk.org

[VisualArtistFrankBonilla]

I had a woman call me who is interested in buying PhoneTalk.org from me. When I called her back, I noticed that she is from a company named Phone Talk Communications. How much should I ask for my domain? I want to be fair, what would be a reasonable price? Any appraisals, comments, or ideas?

This is a nice, short, memorable domain that could only be made better if the ext were .com perhaps... always start high (in this case, low 1xxx imo) and let them know you're open to a counter offer. You can always come down in price, you can't go back up!

Dave's right, except I'd look to start at $2,500.

First, I'd look at .com and who owns it (a competitor?).

Next, find out what you can about the buyer. # of employees, sales, etc. (you can often figure sales at $xxx,xxx times full time people, x - varies by industry.

If it is a four or five person company, Dave's suggestion holds. If it's a 50 or 100+ person company, the price goes up.

What's fair? Whatever the buyer and seller agree on.

Regards,
Keith

Depends on size of company. If you really have no clue then choose a number that's four figures, and then multiply by 1.5 That will be your starting point. YOu can go down and make sure they know that you are willing to go down a little bit but if that phone company is around you could get high $xxxx for it.

Mystery of www.Phonetalk.org???

Yes, I no longer own www.Phonetalk.org, nor did the woman who was going to buy it, ever get it. What happened??? A grand screw-up by me, www.Registerfly.com, or www.Sedo.com, I am not sure.


I was going to sell the domain on Sedo.com for a ridiculously low price. The domain was about to expire, so I thought no big deal. A sale agreement was reached on 11/24/04. Again, the domain was about to expire. Prior to this, whenever I sold a domain, I pushed it to Sedo externally to complete the deal.

Well, I did the same this time, but now, however Sedo instructed me to push it internally to their account at www.Registefly.com. But, it was too late, I had already pushed it externally, hoping to help hurry up and close the deal.

Well, www.Phonetalk.org was lost to the internet ozone!!! Sedo.com contacted Registerfly.com to find ut where my domain went. Neither of these large domain related companies could tell me what happened to my domain.

Meanwhile, it was gone from my domains at Registerfly.com, and I could not renew it, see it, find it, or do anything. I kept trying to re-register it, but could never do so.
Then one day, I saw it, or saw that someone else now owned it.

Sedo apologized to me, and Registerfly could not explain what happened to my domain, or where it went.

I didn't dwell on it, and tried to learn a lesson from it. Make sure when you push a domain, to verify first if it will be an internal push, or an external push.

Ps- the woman who was going to buy it, just found another close "phonetalk domain, and just regged it at the regular fees.

Because it is a .org, you will need a motivated buyer- it needs to custom fit an existing enterprise
Motivated reseller- $50-$100
Motivated E-user- $750-$1250
