discuss Is MakeMoney.com Worth $10 Million?

[larryscott2559]

In your opinion is MakeMoney.com worth $10 million dollars? Often time when I see an advertisement or watch a television show or just walking and over hearing a conversation I check for those words/phrases in the form of domain names, in hopes to get lucky or just out of curiosity. I saw something that said "Free Money" so I typed FreeMoney.com. I image all of the ways they could generate money from their website and frankly I think they could be doing a lot more. Then on one of their menu tabs I saw "Make Money". Naturally I typed MakeMoney.com. The domain name asking price is listed at $10 million dollars by DomainNameBroker.com (they actually have some heavy hitters domain names). I have no doubt that MakeMoney.com is worth a million dollars, but 10? Have any domain name ever sold for so much? The opportunity for a company owning MakeMoney.com could absolutely be out of this world which is why I believe it is worth a lot but if you had $100 million dollars would you invest $10 million on this domain?

AdBlocker.com is also listed for sale at $10M by same company.

They are pricing their inventory so high so that when a qualified offer comes at lets say $500K for AdBlocker.com they will accept it, buyer will think they are getting a great deal at $500K for a domain listed for sale at $10M.

I've read about this kind of pricing strategy and applied it myself, sold a few domains this way. When I want to sell a domain at $3K I would list it at $10K BIN with make offer so when an offer comes at $3K I accept, buyer thinks he is getting a great deal, everybody is happy. It also creates a chance that somebody might hit $10K BIN button.

Definitely nothing close to $10M .. Super.com was recently sold for around $1M. Money.com could easily pass $10M ... but MakeMoney.com is simply an ultra super premium 2 word .com .. lol .. so essentially top of the top in terms of 2 words .. but very far from $10M

That being said .. all it takes is one buyer with a billion dollar idea and huge pockets .. so can't say it's impossible .. but given the number of super premium short one word domains that could be had for well under 8 figures, it's going to be hard to compete against those ...

If someone has a billion dollar idea, it doesn't really matter what the domain name is. Google.com was hand registered.

It is probably a seven figure domain, not an eight figure one.

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble but, there is not one domain name on earth worth paying 10 million for. I could go on eBay and buy a great domain name for under 30 bucks or invent one and build the value in the name myself, as it is really done. You build the value, not the name. Domain name’s have no value, but they sure carry a lot of hype when it comes time to sell. Like I said before, the reality of domain name prices can be seen on eBay. A pretty sad site to see. las vegas.com was shilled up to 90 million.

Much easier to build a brand and establish trust on a domain like Money.com than sheubzywbeo.com

back in 2006, I caught the typo 'makemoeny.com' at clubdrop

it had ovt/w ext.and earned some ppc income at domainsponsor

one can only imagine what the correct spelling (makemoney.com) could have been earning... if it was parked from then, to now.

in 2006, ppc was paying big bucks and at a minimum, i'd guess that makemoney.com could have earned as much as $1k a day or more

I still have some names from that time, which also earned ppc income and they still earn a little today
therefore, I speculate that makemoney.com would still produce a nice paycheck, if it was parked.

I think it's a great domain name that will always get traffic, as long as there is an internet.

the $10 million price tag is just a "make me want to sell it price".

as you'd have to assume, it's not a domain that they need to sell.



imo....

 

[hookbox]

No its not worth that but if they ask one million they won't get one million. It's psychological marketing. Ask a high number hoping to raise the initial offer.

yes and an appartment in downtown shaghai isn't really worth 2million either.

yet here we are... with domains selling for millions.. and shaghai apts too.

cheers

moremoney.com sold last year for 67k

 

[Crysis]

if you had $100 million dollars would you invest $10 million on this domain?

I wouldn't.

Have any domain name ever sold for so much?

I believe Sex.com was sold for $13 million.

Amazing name, not $10,000,000 but its a money maker for sure, regardless of a sale.

 

[lambo.com]

ask price is $10m, maybe a buyer offers $1m and it goes from there

 

[Candace]

Nope. Totally not worth $10M. Crypto.com is probably worth about $10M (maybe).

I don't think you got want I was trying to say .. I'm just saying that if you're operating on a billion dollar budget, then $10M, while definitely a lot of money, is still just 1% of that .. and if the executives really think MakeMoney.com is the best domain for them .. then they could easily go for it. (Whether they should or shouldn't is a completely different discussion .. lol)

People have overpaid for domains all the time .. but if they really need/want the domain .. and have the money to burn .. then that's good for us domainers! lol .. Although maybe it's also a bad thing .. because many end up using such ridiculous sales as "comparables" that it messes up our expectations and we then price our own domains too high!

 

[Kuffy]

I really need to review my prices. I've got "trade for money" up for sale at $100, and crypto trading is big business. I wouldn't have valued MakeMoney.com at more than $xx,xxx. I guess I need to revisit name bio.

MuchIf this domain were being auctioned at Namejet with no reserve, where do you think the bidding would end up? My guess no more than $2500. I am not convinced this name is really worth much more than low five figures.

I greatly prefer Search (.com) or Find (.com) than Google (.com) ... at the end your domain/brand name says a lot. Search (.com) can beat Google off the search game if given the right resources.

 

[likeslikes]

I think it's a whole lot closer to 1 million. I'd personally rather buy a solid name for like 50k and invest big $ in the build out if I ever had a million bucks to spend.

 

[SheikhOvais]

The following is a list of domains that sold for over $10 million...

Insure.com $16 million 2009 [5]
Fund.com £9.99 million 2008 [5]
Sex.com $13 million 2010 November 17 [6]
Hotels.com $11 million 2001

Only reason that I could think of "MakeMoney.com" would sell for $10 million today is if Google still ranked Exact Match Domains as highly in their algorithm as in the past and the owner had a long term plan..
just my thought

I believe Insure.com, Insurance.com and VacationRentals.com were not domain sales only because they were active websites at the time of acquisition. Source.
