domain LuxuryDomains.com

I recently acquired this privately, i'm looking to eventually develop it.

Opinions and appraisals welcome. :D

 

[growthhacker]

Personally I don't see any major domain investors equating luxury with value as to domains.

Sure you have Luxury Homes and Luxury cars, but a domain either has value or it doesn't.

The fact is very few domains have any real value, most are not even worth the reg fees people pay for them.

So if you think you will find a niche in the plethora of sites already trying to find domain traffic by having luxury appended to your domains.com you could by dumping a ton of dough into branding or hard work building traffic through content and SM.

People buy luxury homes and cars due to they have the money to do it and the higher end homes and cars give a buyer some degree of comfort more than a regular home or car.

So there is no direct connect to 'luxury' and domains, no comfort perks to make anyone think of a domain having luxury status.

A domain may have value
It may be a keyword
It may be an industry term
It may be a business term
It may be a professional term
It may be a cheap or bargain priced domain
It may be a dropped domain
It may be a new domain
It might be a premium domain

If I say I have a premium domain, most understand, value asset

If I say I have a luxury domain, wtf are you talking about, you gonna live in it or drive it?

There's no real world connect between the two words

luxury + domain means ? nothing unless you brand it

premium + domain means great value or special

cheap + domain means that worthless

bargain + domain means a deal

professional + domain means for professionals

outside of you, the only person to put luxury with domains is YOU

worthless IMO

but if you got a ton of dough you can brand any WORD with DOMAINS

some just have a logical association, and yours does not

Thank you for your detailed feedback, appreciated.

A domaining developer/company who wishes to open a domaining marketplace based on those 2 fine keywords will be interested in this type of domain.
It is a catchey domain name.
Also, it is a good brandable.

You can also keep this domain name to yourself instead of selling it.
If developed to a website, it can be worth a lot more.

Resell price: reg fee
End user price: low $xxx

Best of luck

You guys are aware that a domain doesn't necessarily have to be an internet domain right?

 

[Fancy.domains]

Hello,

I recently sold Realdomains (dot) com for a little more than 2K. Maybe an indicator?!

I'm aware of that.
But most of the usage of "domains" is in the catagories of internet/domaining.
Real Estate for example has little to no usage of this keyword.

Hello,

I recently sold Realdomains (dot) com for about 2K. Maybe an indicator?!

Real Domains are much better keywords IMO.
Also, most "domains" keyword sales are in the $xxx range.
You were lucky to find someone to pay this price.
Congratulations

Thanks, I actually got two similar bids from different potential buyers the same week. There are a limited amount of words that really make sense in front of domains, I guess. Maybe ten excellent ones (?!) and 100 ok ones (?!)

Looking at other reported sales at Namebio, with the word "domains" at the end, I would say you might get mid to high $xxx.
Best of luck!

 

[championshipforum]

Thank you everyone for there input. :D

I paid mid $xxx for this name, though I will eventually develop it. I guess my vision when acquiring this was different to everyone else's. I actually think this is a great name to sell/broker high end domains.

 

[growthhacker]

Good list of sales, I see some of our drops in there

One man's trash is anothers gain

haha

compared to most that get listed here, it's 'ok' but nothing I'd waste time with, you can brand ANYWORDdomains but is it worth the effort

Luxury just doesn't crossover with domains well IMO but I get your logic

luxury homes

luxury cars

luxury rentals

luxury hotels

a good prefix adjective sometimes

but IMO a prefix like some on list are best

a decent ccTLD yeah okay

premium
fab
biz

ok

luxury?

it just doesn't connect to me with domains but I can see a yoyo blowing low xxx on it

maybe mid xxx

it is what it is an adjective that indicates wealth or money with domains

but IMO it's a low grade adjective and if you are gonna put energy, time and dough into branding a adjective domains url there are way better more natural adjectives for domains

me I like short prefix

i is huge and we were one of first groups doing i big time in the 1990's and all we heard from 'domain experts' were why waste your reg fees on i domains

now look at them

haha

numbers, the best number is 1 or one

just like in real estate the main number in the development is 1

so e, i, 1 are all great short prefixes if you can marry them to an industry keyword

short adjects are good too

top
best
hot
good
great
fab
super

you get the drift

luxury is great with many keywords in which it is a natural adjective

wtf is a LUXURY domain?

nonsense adj

but it's not as bad as 99% of what gets in this section

it's a .com

it's a nice adj on what this forum is about domains

so you're in the right place to move it

but if you recoup your investment do it ASAP and get a better prefix or short better adj to use if you gonna do serious development

development takes time, energy and usually dough

you don't develop a dog

you dump them and learn from a mistake

sometimes you just got to know when to fold it

I honestly wouldn't put a reg fee on this dom

but that's me, we had some of the names listed above, decided to not develop and dropped them

we drop great assets all the time

names we could fetch for 200 or 500 easy

there's only so much development you can do and then it takes time, energy and money to maintain developed properties

so if you can't seriously monetize a domain don't bother

we don't consider adsense monetiziation

we develop for a few reasons

authority in industries we are in
traffic to feed the network
fraction leasing to professionals and companies on our keywords

I do see your logic though, in why YOU THOUGHT this could be a good domain

but since I have a few minutes right now I'm trying to help people that use this forum to learn something about domains

a pretty domain doesn't mean it is worth anything

if you really understand today how hard it is for a startup to get TRACTION, you wouldn't waste your time on stuff that has no real development potential

get stuff you can brand and IMO the best part of domains is still developing and if you really understand what is worth owning there's a ton of great prefix domains still open .com to register

if not .com then .net is wide open

you can walk into adwords with a client with a ppc budget and instantly take over top spots in ppc rotation with stuff that can still be registered today

so find a professional term, get a prefix and learn to create high response content that converts at 20% to 75% response ratios for clients (cta ratios)

then you can print money in domains, by developing what some guru's think have no value

face it

keyword.com are now all major dough
prefix keyword .com have great power in ppc still, it' s a preferred buy at SE's
same with keyword .net or prefix keyword .net

domains is not an industry compared to major keywords like lawyer dentist doctor realestate homes cars roofing painters mechanic etc

domain guys are not really that common, sure you got a ton of domainers but the real players are few and far between

if you say to a lawyer look I own this term you want guaranteed top of ppc ads google, bing and yahoo your market, welcome aboard

now find a domain guy to pay you a monthly fee to be on your domains site

the only action is minor monthly fees to monetize domain related traffic sites which have almost no major players on them

so it's all guys with nothing to invest looking to find a 'gem'

anyone advising OP this is worth development time, energy and dough needs to stop being funny

IMO

but it's better than 99% of what gets in this section usually

IMO

 

[championshipforum]

Also, i'm just curious to how you where registering 'i' domains in the 1990s when your profile states you are 20 years old?

You wear luxury watches and like a luxury clothing a website can "wear" a Luxury domain name...
I dont know if it makes sense

[growthhacker]

1990's we reg'd a ton of 'domains' keywords with lots of prefixes

haha

I know we have drops in that list

I KNOW IT

I remember them

but no development projects for domains, so we let them drop

heck we even bought a major prefix domains to hold and that was a few years ago and the price was way above most on the list

so prefix domains is okay, some have value but the prefix needs to be something that makes sense

luxury doesn't IMO

but good luck with it

@growthhacker - you've provided a lot of very valuable and (imho) accurate info here for folks. I was curious as to why you think the numerical prefixes you listed above add value to a keyword/keyphrase?

Thanks!

 

[growthhacker]

I like 1 since it implies you are #1 in keyword

247 shows you do it 24 7

800 and 888 are major toll frees so they have value to a company using that number

i is internet

e is old net email etc

1 is best number IMO

247 is next

the others are related to toll frees someone probably uses already

i/e/1 all score 10QS as well as keyword .com

so
keyword.com
ikeyword.com
ekeyword.com
1keyword.com

all have ability to manipulate ppc with 10QS scores

a 10QS gets you top of a ppc rotation and today with 65% of search traffic being driven on smart phones it's all about can you get top 2 ppc spots on ppc ads

those that can control those 2 spots are the main players in that industry
