domain iPhotos.net

iPhotos.net

I would like to sell this gem on Sedo but not quite sure of potential value bracket. Overture (878,000) and development potential seem particularly strong for this domain.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I'd say the .com (Parked) would be Low xx,xxx - Mid xx,xxx.

As the .net I'd put the value around $5,000 (end User).

If it was singular you could easily double these numbers.

Photography is still huge and probably always will be. Adding an i gives instant brandablity with the keyword. It's too bad it's not iPhoto.

If you don't plan on developing here is what you'd need to get an end user type of price.

Someone big buys/Develops iphoto.com (Not resolving)
They then buy .iphoto.net - Maybe (Resolves to blank page)
Business goes well and they realize they are losing traffic to the plurals.

They buy iPhotos.com for $45,000
They offer you 5k for iphotos.net and you counter with 10k.
You sell iPhotos.net for $7500

Now this is hypothetical, but as you see a lot would need to happen for you to get a good end user price.

In the meantime, do what the other 3 are not. Develop. Even if you make a small investment and sell royalty free images, thats a start. Personally I like those user submitted rolalty free site. Then everyone in the world practically can add unique content to your site.

Is the name good enough to build on? Sure! It's not Boardwalk or Park place, but you have a solid Marvins Gardens. Put up a Hotel and see if anyone lands on it. If anything you'll get the money you spent on the hotel, plus a little extra.

Best of luck!

Resell value: high $xx - low $xxx

Thanks guys!

Interesting difference between appraisals (mid x,xxx & high xx); you are on the right track, Ben. I may develop before selling.

Resell value: high $xx

Any other EDUCATED opinions?

 

[Ben42]

Well the main difference there is I'm talking lottery type find of an end user...and Own is talking if you sold it today on NP. Still, I think you'd get at least $300-$400 if that were the case. I can say that for sure, Cuz i'd give you $400. :lol:

Cuz i'd give you $400. :lol:

Ben proved me wrong! :kickass:

I would say 300 -450 range..

1) it is plural
2) it has an "i"
3) it is a .net

All the above severely diminish the value.

I think i-photo.com would be better than iphotos.net. So, as long as they are better alternatives available at the cheaper price, The price comes down severely.

Even local domains like iphoto.de is better than iphotos.net, So you can't get too much for this name.

You can still find fools who are willing to pay more and gamble... But that could always be the case..

I think this domain would easily go for $X,XXX range at public auction.

I would develope the domain and sell at retail. Takes time but a nice payoff for sure.
Retail for $9k to $12k. Thanks for sharing the nice domain.

Thanks for all the appreciated feedback, guys.

I have now listed the domain at SEDO (incl Feature page) with a sales ad, and am now trying to optimize the parking page.

http://www.sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=iphotos.net&tracked=&partnerid=&language=us

I hope to find a buyer within the next few months, once the Summer dip period is over. This domain screams development; unfortunately I am not skilled in this area. I will sell this domain to someone who is or hopefully to a company who are looking for an easy-to-remember/brand/market domain in the photos field.

Any final appraisals, comments would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Fed.
