[Easydoms]

Hi all,
I have had an offer via Sedo for the MAX.IM

Not really sure if to accept, would appreciate some feedback from you guys on the possible and potential value, so I have an idea if to accept or not.

Was going to put it in the appraisal section, but it is a bit of both info i need.

Thanks for your help.

It might be better suited in the appraisal section but there are too many variables for me to give you a parameter as to the possible end user price. It's a newer extension but a nice name though.



Best wishes,
Kimmy

Well we cant really tell you whether to accept or not if we dont know the sum offered...

 

[Badger]

wouldnt matter what the offer was, youve obviously only had the name a day or so, so if you achieve a net gain of more than $150 flip and move on

 

[Easydoms]

Offer recieved of 180 euros via sedo. So when you take there cut it still works out a profit. But my gut instinct tells me to hold on to it!!!

Thanks for your help.

 

[Sam]

unless im totally stupid how is this a profit? 180 euros*1.26 = $226 - $150 = $76.8.

Isnt reg fee $77 usd?

 

[Easydoms]

Sorry you are right, My mind was working in £ not euros!!!!

Not that bright first thing on a Sunday morning!!

REG FEE £40 = 58 EUROS.
OFFER 180 EUROS = £122
MINUS SEDO FEES 18 EUROS

PROFIT £70 APPROX

I wouldnt take anything under $10,000usd just because it may be maxim magazine. Make em pay for it, they got the money. They spend more then that on food preps for a single photo shoot.

Sedo takes off 150 USD mininum for .im ext.

Worth much more than that in the long run. Hold on to it.

Or maybe they just want it for "max". It is a three letter first name. It's an abbreviation for Maximum, and this might also spark your interest:

Word of caution. The above says "codename Max". The final product will probably be different for those of you thinking of going out and storming the registrars with "max" names.

As previously said. Be careful of ALL non-gTLD's at sedo. Fees are higher than normal, and it's easy to miss that. Also, I think if paid in Euros, the fee is 150 Euros, not $150 US. They don't always convert the fee back to $, and therefore make more.

Max.im - Hold it. You could get lucky.

Thats why I park at Name Drive but still list for Sale at Sedo and Afternic.

If somebody visits your parking page at Name Drive and wants to make an offer you get a copy of the email. That way you can research who the interested party is.

I get a dozen or more offers/enquiries every week like this, while Sedo hardly ever produces an offer.

You can still tell the bidder to make an offer via Sedo, once you know who they are, and set your minimum offer to suit.

The Sedo system of not telling you who is making the offer, sucks bigtime in my opinion. How the hell can you make an educated decision whether to except an offer when you don't know who it is coming from?

This could get interesting :p

With all this 'Max Interest', maybe I will get some offers too for MaxInterest.com along with MaxAccount.com

Sedo takes off 150 USD mininum for .im ext.

I think it is normal 10% if it is parked there, but better check.

I think it is normal 10% if it is parked there, but better check.

The parking exception doesn't apply to .im, apparently :td: But, I've been known to misunderstand the fine print, before :p

Easydoms,

[Easydoms]

Thank you all for your valuble comments.

Sedo in the Bid thread for it have clearly stated that the Sedo cut would be 18 euros if it was sold at 180 euros. Have made contact with them and they say it will be 10% of whatever the final figure it goes for.

Some very intesting comments, thank you all. Will see what happens with it and will keep all posted on what is going on.
