domain MotorMall.com : Is "motor mall" a common phrase in the US?

[holdem8]

Hi peeps...

I managed to snag this old domain today and I am wondering if I got a good deal...

Does anyone know if the phrase "motor mall" is commonly used anywhere in the world? I know "auto mall" is common in the US...but, motor mall?

Thanks!

Al.

I've never heard the term used in the SE US, if that helps.

NOT very common at all. But...a good domain, nonetheless. I think that it could bring you some profit depending on what you paid for it, what was on it prior, etc. Still, good generic domain and very brandable. I've heard "Motor Mile" used at multiple car dealerships, as well, and this could possibly be sold to one of them in case of people misunderstanding mile/mall. Longshot, but possible. Value is in the hands of you and the potential buyer. Good name if you didn't pay a lot for it!

Do you mind giving a price range of what you paid?

I paid low $X,XXX for it and I think it is a bargain. Thanks for the feedback peeps!

develop it or sell it to an enduser, not too much value for resellers i think.

An auto mall refers to a bunch of dealers (usually 8 or more) in one location for ease of car shopping if you want to shop around.

This domain is a bit tricky. Your going to have to develop it to get much out of it I'm afraid. Perhaps just focus on motors. Maybe you can find an affiliate motor program or talk to some manufacturers and start your own.

Best of luck!

Thanks everyone for the feedback!
I parked it at Sedo and it has some type-ins everyday. Earning about EURO1-2 per day too.

I like these types of old domains (12 Y.O!). A search at Google for "motor mall" shows that there are a number of sites with the keyword "motor mall" in their domain. (potential buyers)

Anyway, I might try to flip it to them for a quick profit, if possible.

Cheers, Al
