Is this a $4,000 domain name???

[htmlindex]

Just been browsing the recent sales today & found that WeBuyHousesFaster.com has sold for $4k today as reported on Namebio & DNSaleprice. Honestly, I can't see it worth that much. It's not even a site, just a parked page. Anyone care to explain how a name like this could've got $4k for it? I wish I could get those prices for names like this. Maybe it's time to start looking at 4 word domains!

I don't think that name worth $4,000 at all.
Maybe the buyer is rich and he doesn't know what do to with his bucks

I will offer them: WeSellHousesEvenFaster.com for $5k

 

[iWonder]

Yup ! the domain certainly is not worth above 1K

I will offer them: WeSellHousesEvenFaster.com for $5k

LOL

People who are loosing their homes frequently wait until they are forced at the last minute to deal with the situation. An ability to close faster is a serious benefit to such a customer. If the domain lets you close one extra deal a year 4K is pocket change

A domain is worth what someone will pay for it

exactly!!

But basing it on the market "standards", it's not worth 4k at all!

The honest truth is, especially in the high dollar market, there isnt a whole lot left to brand. Im sure the buyer is banking on the HUGE amount of foreclosures that are coming and I believe mhdoc has hit the nail on the head. Did the guy over pay for this domain? Honestly, he got the name he wanted at a higher price that a reseller would, but lets be honest - we've all seen domains with less value go for much more.

Not if it was bought by a domainer but for "a man with a plan" those keywords may be absolutely perfect for their needs ?

I've seen alot worse names sell for more

The buyer got a cool slogan that describes what is going to be a very big market in the growing property squeeze. If you went to a PR firm and asked them to come up with a slogan like that they'd charge a bomb, $4K is chump change for what they got, I'm surprised the domainer didn't recognise what they were selling and to who, imagine the kind of capital a vulture fund has to play with, 4K is lunch to them!

moped got it right, it's most likely a slogan of theirs (or now will be). I've seen businesses use their slogans more and more for domain names for a few different reasons. I myself have HowDoYouDefy.com because that is a slogan for one of my businesses.

It always puzzles me when people look at a domain & say how can that be worth $xx when it's 4 words or whatever.... can't they think outside the box & use personal judgement.... 'webuyhousesfast' that pretty much sums the business up.... easy to remember, no ph number required...

'webuyhouses' is shorter but doesn't really say much.... I mean, we all buy houses don't we?
'buyhousesfaster' is shorter but that throws the emphasis on enabling the reader to buy a house faster..... the opposite of whats intended.

'webuyfaster'....... bit vague that one

as are 'webuy' 'buyfaster' (in fact, a bit too vague for anything?)

As for 'housesfaster' - nitrous kits for RV's perhaps?

The domain is worth what someone is happy (in fact, maybe not happy; but prepared to) pay for it....

I think it was a good price for the buyer.....

Ronseal type domains are excellent.... because the site contains just what it says on the tin!

If things work that way, I keep my hope to sell "starting.at" as a kind of auction site for about $3k or $4k %-P

WeAlreadySoldYourHouse.com ?

 

[ehoez.com]

you're not understanding the real estate market.

with that name, if he BUYS 1 home, (lets say a $100k house, fix it up, spend 25k in repairs, and sells that home for $175k = $50k profit)

now repeat that monthly for the next 5yrs......

now 4k dont sound so bad

I think we all seem to be missing a key point. It may not apply specifically here, but you can never underestimate the selling potential of a non-domainer. I know this first hand just from making offers on domains via email.

Essentially, we as domainers have a basic understanding of what a domain is worth. Would we ever ask $4k for such a domain? Probably not... On the other hand, there are people out there who are not domainers, yet still happen to own a domain. If they registered the domain for personal reasons or planned to develop it, they may have no real intention of selling. They may have never considered the idea as it's really not why they registered it in the first place. So they get an email from someone interested in buying it. Having no idea what it's really worth, and no real desire to sell, they just throw out an arbitrarily high number. Whether they sell or not, they probably don't care, so they have absolutely nothing to lose by asking a high price. And while this isn't going to work every day, occassionally, I'm sure that inquiring party might want it at any reasonable cost.

I've inquired about pronouncable CVCV.coms and received replies in the range of 50k-1 million. Was the person seriously expecting to sell it at this price from a logical perspective? No... But they probably don't want to sell it. And if someone is willing to pay a million bucks for it, than they'll let it go

I'm sure this isn't the norm, but I imagine it's happened more than a few times.

If you notice advertisements on TV they often use a web site domain with a few words that describe the service or product.
