domain New to the game, 3 .com's for appraising

[mhardgrove]

I bought two dot com's awhile ago and was going to develop them but never did, then I just recently saw a dot com that I thought was decent and registered it. Please let me know what you would appraise these at as I am thinking about getting into the domain business (I am currently a graphic designer).

ourmoviereviews.com (GoDaddy appraisal at $50-$145)
ourmusicreviews.com
letitallride.com

ourmoviereviews.com and ourmusicreviews.com I was going to develop as a rating type community (obviously one for music one for movies). Sort of like rottentomatos.com (for movies). I got a little anxious and appraised the one at GoDaddy but I will still wondering what you all thought here. Also, letitallride.com I thought could be excellently branded as a casino/gambling site. letitride.com was taken which would obviously be less and better.

Anyway thank for your time, also if anyone has any tips on good domain names, what I should research/study, what tools I should use, I'd appreciate it. I have looked around the forums but I just figured if anyone wanted to give advice out while appraising it'd be nice. Thanks. And also.. being my first post here. HI EVERYONE!

one more.

yifr.com

I like that last one, LetItAllRide.com. Common phrases can sell fairly well. I poked around on DNSalePrice.com with your keywords and selecting 4 word domains to get the following:

Domain TLD SalePrice SaleDate SaleThru
GetItOnMobile com $1,500 Apr 07 Sedo
AllMyROMs com $500 Jan 07 Afternic
AllInGoodHealth com $588 Jan 07 Afternic
AllSeasonsSunRooms com $4,249 Dec 06 Sedo
AllWheelDriveVehicles com $1,180 Oct 06 Moniker/Traffic
RideAroundTheWorld com $700 May 06 Sedo
RideLikeAGirl com $500 Mar 06 Sedo
AllTheKingsMen com $3,500 Jun 05 Afternic

I also look in Yahoo to see relative frequency of use. I'm thinking perhaps you might get a hundred or so for that one -- not bad!

I then searched on 3-word domains containing "our" (since this is your weakest keyword) and did find some sales -- so you are not dead in the water (though obviously ourmoviereviews and ourmusicreviews are significantly weaker than moviereviews and musicreviews).

Domain TLD SalePrice SaleDate SaleThru
OurHomeSeeker com $1,000 Apr 07 Sedo
PreserveOurPlanet com $2,995 Mar 07 Afternic
JoinOurTeam com $3,088 Mar 07 BuyDomains
SaveOurState com $1,500 Aug 06 Afternic
OurJewishCommunity com $2,500 Feb 06 Sedo
ColorOurWorld com $488 Jan 06 Afternic

I won't keep posting but suggest you also look at domain sales with the keywords "movie reviews" and "music reviews". Also try these same keywords but limit to 3-word domain sales.

All of the above should start giving you an idea on domain values. Keep in mind that domain values increase exponentially rather than in a linear as the quality goes up. Best advice when starting out is read a lot and buy slow. Best of luck!

Cheers,

*bump*

also yifr.com

I think I might have the buyers remorse about this one. I saw people saying if it was pronouncable it was good to have a four letter dot com. But I am not sure how great "yifr" really is. Seems a lot of the good one have one vowel. Any advice on getting four letter dot coms? Also obviously it is better to have a shorter dot com then a longer. But I have another question. Is it better to have a longer catchier/clever dot come then a shorter not as clever/catchy dot com?
