Your thoughts on pricing this domain please.

The term has 300 exacts and 1000 phrase searches/day.

Please refrain from comments 'reg fee because of the hyphen'. Almost all my sales lately were hyphenated names in the 3 figures range.

Can this go 4 figures?

The name has been bouncing around domainer circles for a while. I think I bid something like $20-$30 for it on a Dynadot expiring auction, but lost to another NPer. That was when domains with hyphens were a bit more attractive.

You can try for 4 figures, and might get lucky. Or try for 3 figures and have slightly more chance of selling it. Or, as the name's history has shown, you may end up selling it off to another domainer down the road.

Hyphens are underrated, that's for sure. I made some great flips with them. But generally these that get good returns are taken in all extensions in the non-hypenated version, and most extensions in the hyphenated versions. They are also names with few alternatives for the buyer. In this case, though, there are kitchen gadgets, kitchen tools, kitchen accessories, etc.

The other problem is that all the other taken extensions, hyphenated or not, all seem to be for sale by domainers. I couldn't find one that is actually being used. Never a good sign. If they can't sell kitchenutensils.com or .net, there's little chance you can sell the hyphenated version. Except to another domainer.

If it were mine, I would either develop it (but I like kitchen stuff), or just try for a few hundred dollars. Or sell it to get my money back/cut my losses, and invest in a name with more potential.

Thanks. Actually I bought it from somebody here who had a blog/minisite on it for 1 figure last year.
I am aware of the things you said, I had some interest few months ago from a Chinese company for mid 3 figures but passed. Just want to feel the pulse before I will actively sell it.

I don't always deal in hyphenated names, but when I do, I prefer Dos Cuatro Equis. Stay thirsty, my friend.

Coincidentally, cookingutensils.net is on auction here. Might give some insight.

I am looking for kitchen utensils, I am on amazon.
Not some odd domain.

I just think that at some point, buyers are going to get smart and say: not this crap!
And poof, a lot of domains like this will just be sitting around somewhere, can't be sold and won't be bought.

So value:
What ever you got for an offer, take it and run!
Otherwise, bleh price of reg fee max.
