New Domain Value

[ckpate]

I have a new domain parked at GoDaddy. What is a reasonable sales price if I am approached about selling? Is $5000usd - $10000usd reasonable?
Thank you for your input......:wave:

There you go, ask for a reasonable price expectation for an 'unknown' domain. Well, if it's a new domain, and it's yours,..I'd set the price at $100,000 and simply just keep going up from there!

Is $5,000 - $10,000 reasonable sale price for a car? Wouldn't that depend on the year and model? What was wrong with it? Does it even run?

No one can tell you what your domain is worth without knowing what the domain is. You can feel free to post your domain in the appraisal section for a free appraisal of it's value.

If you just registered it I'm guessing it's not worth much, and certainly not thousands of dollars but you never know.

You can easy get $XXXX on this one ! I would keep it for a few more years and target the $XXXXX .

I'd shoot for $15,000 since it's still brand new.

If you are new to buying domain names, recently registered this one and have been approached by someone looking to buy your domain name, I would be cautious that this 'buyer' may actually be a scammer.

It's very common for people to get interest on new domains, only to have the interested party demand a paid appraisal before coming to an agreement. I can't quite tell from your post if you have someone showing interest in your domain or not.

Never pay for an appraisal. Google 'domain appraisal scam' or search for it here on this forum.

I'm new at this stuff but I did get an email recently from someone who wants to buy my new domain for $8000usd. So, for me, it sounds high but again, I don't know enough about this to know if this is a scam or legit. But I'm sure I will figure it out real soon.

Copy and paste his email into a Google search. Also search his name and company name separately. You may find documentation confirming it as a scam by others. If you don't find anything it doesn't mean you're in the clear as they change their phony details fairly often. If he asks you to get an appraisal done, don't do it. That will be confirmation that he is trying to scam you by getting you to buy a useless appraisal from a site that he runs.

1) Reject request for appraisal.

2) Do escrow transaction (popular escrow services only)

If you get past these two, your cash register may be close to ringing soon.

I would have thought that $800 was quite a good price for any newly registered domain. But it depends on the domain name and who wants it. You might counter at $1500 if you feel like gambling, because very often a buyer won't give you their last price as their opening gambit. Be aware that scammers often target newly registered domains, because they might just find a newbie like you willing to pay for an appraisal.

In this world where nearly all of the attractive domains have all been taken, what is the statistical probability that by some random chance, you hand-reg a fresh mint domain (year zero) for 12 bucks, then suddenly a guy shows up willing to pay $1,500 for it.

As per my experience the new domain has very less (negligible) value as compare to any other domain. though you have to wait till its get some domain authority. it may take 6-8 months.

I reply saying yes they are welcome to have an appraisal.. As long as they pay for it. This should stop an appraisal scammer.

You are getting the wrong advice. Your domain is worth $1 million.

In all seriousness, you need to show your domain in order to get a proper evaluation by the NamePros community.

Fingers crossed for you that you can get that much.

Here is the bottom line, Mister Newbie--learn sumptin' here, the easy way-->

Play along with your prospective buyer and his amazing offer BUT if the buyer is requiring an appraisal which of course you pay for, then its 99% chance a scam. Don't fall for it. It's an old game.

^^^ correction. It's 100% certain to be a scam if the buyer requires you to purchase an appraisal.

I was just offering some advice for his negotiations. I'm not saying the domain is worth $1500.

Whilst your statistical probability is correct. It could be a dropping domain and the original owner want's it back.

It could be a dropping domain and the original owner want's it back.

A dropping domain, is not a new domain though.

Probably the OP meant "newly acquired" domain, if it was really owned by someone else in the past.

But anyway, i did remember OccupyWallStreet .NET was a pure hand-reg that was flipped for $8,000. The buyer surely scammed his own Occupy Wallstreet gangmates by paying a capitalist domainer that sum of money.

There is that 1% chance that the offer is legit. But 99% of all the others are a scam.

If I was a betting man.......................Obvious answer.

If you want PM me the name and I will give you an honest view.
