domain NYCLAWYERS.com -- worth six figures?

[Larry2]

It is obviously a great domain. Been sitting largely idle since 1994.

 

[Jv1999]

So many paragraphs.

I mean like geez, Maybe you should link end users to this thread.

 

[MrNames]

Changed my mind and calling this a total scam. See ya. The site is a scam. No posts on the blog in over a year (would never happen if the site was generating real leads). Three twitter followers. Get out of my face. Bye bye.

 

[todaygold]

Ridiculous? I guess people the people that have liked my posts must be ridiculous also?

Really? Where are those people exactly? Looking back over this thread, my posts have gotten more likes than yours have. And as another member stated, this thread sounds like a fishy scam. Nothing adds up and even an idiot wouldn't spend $5k on an unfinished blog that anyone can easily throw together.

Thanks for ruining the thread with nonsense

And who are you to say that? Are you playing God? Your opinion isn't the only one that exists. You are the one that ruined the thread. As you can see, there are a number of people on here that agree with me.

Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night. Everyone reading this thread can see your character for what it truly is, I can't wait until you try and pull this sh*t on a better name...I'll be bringing popcorn to the slaughterhouse for that

Is there something wrong with you? Are you the only one allowed to have an opinion? Do you not notice that about half of the responders agreed with my viewpoint? You aren't God, so stop acting like him.

I have yet to see one real live human stating that they would buy it today as a stand alone domain name for even a fraction of most of the outrageous high appraisals. Until you can show that a human being who is breathing is willing to buy it now, then the name is worth just a few hundred dollars.

I will give you people a hint. When names that have real value are put up for appraisal, others jump into the thread and/or PM the thread starter with offers. The name is borderline worthless in that if you paid a few hundred for it what do you have? You get nothing until you actually build a business around it, which you can do with any number of domain names. So, the value comes when you build the business. This name does not add any real extra value to what you are doing. Sure, it makes sense, but it will never bring you anything that couldn't be had with any other reasonable $100 domain name. Get it now?

Ok I'll kick off. I am offering $50.00 for this domain.

@slader23 Step right up, now is the time to put your money where your mouth is. What is your bid @slader23 ? I'm sure you will be bidding up to around $25,000-$30,000, seeing as how you think it is worth at least twice that, you can easily flip it, right?

 

[MrNames]

Approach 500 domainers and not a one of them will ever pay 5K for it. Domainers know the value of domains. If there was a reasonable chance that someone out there in the world would buy it for more than 5K, then someone would snap it up and wait to get lucky and sell it.

So far $50 seems to be the high bid from what I can see. I suspect someone here will state that they would be willing do pay 1K for it, but I really doubt that they would. The proof is in the pudding. Lame name. Cancerous name in that it is already taking up hours upon hours of the OP's time, and he has already spent 5K (so he says) on the website. Then you factor in the fact that he must have spent a total of at least 100 hours on the site, and you get to the point where the name is worth a negative number quite easily, in that the OP would have been better off financially in his life if he had never encountered the name.

I believe that the OP is lying when he states that the name has already led to multiple lawsuit settlements. If that were the case, the name would be a gold mine and all you would have to do is sit back and do nothing, as the leads came in. And if what he states is true (and it likely isn't), that would be a gravy train that you would not give up for less than 100K, and probably multiples of 100K. Do you guys understand yet?

 

[MrNames]

You don't quite understand. A name's value is predicated on what percentage of the time you can sell it for a certain price. If there was any reasonable chance at all that it could be sold for a large amount, someone would be willing to buy it for a few K. If you don't understand that, then there is nothing to say. For example, there are three letter dotcoms that are worth 10K no matter what, and there is a reasonable chance that you could get very lucky and get a lot more. So, many people would buy the name for 10K. These appraisal threads are all alike. Full of horrific ideas, bad analysis, and pipe dreams, usually being offered by people who would not put up their own money to buy the name at anywhere near the price that they say it is worth.

Someone who is not willing to buy the name themselves near a price that they appraise it for cannot be taken seriously about anything regarding domain names.

Reseller value, low xxxx to lower middle xxxx----->1.5-3.5k

Just showing your true self there aren't you. @slader23 You replied to every freaking post I made in this thread, even though my original post didn't concern you at all...but when it comes time to put your money where your mouth is and show you will back your statements...you sit down in the corner. Someone else makes an offer for the domain and I ask you what your offer is...and for the first time, you don't reply back. Just goes to show you, when it comes time to back up your words with actions...you fall short.

Back up my words? LOL, your the one thinking you can tell people to bid on names to prove that their statements are valid. Get lost. You've done enough to hurt your reputation.

Why won't you make an offer? Only a fool would pass up this kind of deal. You could offer $25,000 and easily flip it for $50,000...or so you say. If you believe in your statements, why would you pass up $25,000!?

The way you are talking and trying to condescend others is despicable. Telling people to make offers on names at end user valuations is ridiculous. I expect to be making $100k+ on a investment if I am paying for a name that has a reseller price of $25k, because at that level of investment your aiming to hold and sell to an end user. At low to mid $X,XXX reseller pricing, I expect to make in the low 5 to middle 5 figures. Really what the hell are you talking about? Why on earth would I pay 25k on something I valued in the low to mid 5 figure range to an end user? No domainer would pay that much for this name wholesale.

This is starting to get out of hand. Not only have you began spewing even more incessant bs, you've lost all logic and your inexperience is really starting to show. I'd reply more but I think people reading this get the picture, hell people have even tried to help you by posting more comps...but I guess you still haven't taken the hint.

Good luck man.

PS the sales you just posted as "comps" are on the absolute low end of the scale. They aren't even true city or state GEO's... Queens is a borough of NYC lol and it still sold for mid xxx. You don't really know what your doing...do you?

I love how you think of yourself as the expect, even though other users in this thread have gone so far as to state that they agree with me. I believe you are the one that is a bit confused. One day you will understand the error of your ways...but in the meantime, since you feel this domain is so valuable, why not make an offer? Any offer? Why are you afraid to back up your statements with action? Small people, such as yourself, talk...big people back up their words with action, which you are unwilling to do.

You had 1 or 2 people agree with you while everyone else has posted more comps, stated that this thread has gotten ridiculous and even gone as far as saying public appraisals are worthless.

Who are you to tell me to make an offer ? Do you know my risk appetite? Do you understand what I'm currently in the market for? My niches of expertise? My budget? The fact that you have audacity to tell other people to bid shamelessly and without respect speaks a 1000 words about your character. The small person here is you, because rather than admit you are mistaken you lash out at others in an attempt to make yourself feel better about yourself. You've done that not only on this thread but on many other appraisal threads, other users can simply click on your profile and go through your posts to see the malice in your words towards other peoples names. What do I have to prove? To whom must I prove myself to? No one. I don't need validation for my actions, I act and operate entirely at my own pace just like everyone else. Who is small? Who is big? This isn't a pissing competition, you must be incredibly immature to be making a statement like that.

Your posts would actually be comical if you weren't actually serious. You sit here and lecture me that I'm 'wrong' and my opinion is worthless, you are the one that first replied to me, even though my original post had nothing to do with you...yet you then get mad when I call you out. Who are you to decide that your opinions are correct and valuable and mine are not? And what risk appetite? There is NO risk here at all according to you...this domain is gold...or at least that's what you say since you aren't willing to back up your statements. Your expertise? So are you saying, after this lengthy argument, that this isn't your area of expertise? Your budget? Anyone that could turn around and make $25,000 in less than a month would be able to find the money...even if you had to take a loan for it. To let $25,000 disappear would be pretty dumb of you, wouldn't it? I love how you talk talk talk, but when you have the chance to back up your talk with action, you refuse to do so.

 

[todaygold]

My god, simply ridiculous. I never said your appraisal was worthless. I said it was wrong and that it did not look at comps.

You on the other hand:
1.Called me dumb--->Someone reported it. It has since been removed.
2.Made fun of other users appraisals--->"missing a few decimals"
3.Questioned the OP's investment strategy.
4.Questioned the validity of the OP's offers.
5.Questioned OP in general.
6.Called me a small man.
7.Say I can't put my money where my mouth is when you are the one telling me what to offer and how much.

That's pretty abusive behavior. All because I told you your appraisal was wrong?
Now your stuck on the fact that I won't offer the OP $25k for the name, saying that I love to talk talk talk and not take action. I took action. I just brought your ego down several notches. Have fun appraising peoples names I'm sure they'll trust your opinion.

First, who are you to call my opinion wrong? Are you the supreme one that decides who's opinion is right and who's is wrong?
Second, you aren't exactly scholarly yourself:
1. You went out of your way to reply to my first post...which was not directed at you, was not meant for you and frankly, was none of your business.
2. To another user on this thread, you posted 7 upside laughing smileys...essentially making fun of their post.
3. You claimed I'm talking out of my A$$ in one post.
4. You put down another user because you didn't agree with him by saying his opinion has no value because he is a new member.
5. When you ran out of things to say, you professionally just kept repeating 'thanks for ruining the thread'.

Is what you did not abusive behavior?

 

[todaygold]

1.Hmm did I say your opinion has no value? No.

I don't trust anyone that's new here

You pretty much did. You said 'Stop giving appraisals, especially pre purchase appraisals they are of little help to anyone.' You then told me I was wrong. So that's pretty much saying it has no value.
And for not trusting new members, you sure seem to have no problem trusting the OP who is brand new? When myself and other members said something seems fishy and his story doesn't sound right...you seemed to believe that we were the wrong ones.

It's the OP's thread. He put his trust in other members to give him a fair appraisal. It's not up to us to "appraise the person". Only one other member questioned the OP. I told you to stop yes, but still I never said your appraisals were worthless, just that they wouldn't really be of any help. You were wrong. You diverged from the premise of the thread and that is why I told you "thanks for ruining the thread". If you want to question an OP do that in PM.

 

[todaygold]

If you want to question an OP do that in PM.

Interesting. So you can publicly state in the thread that someone's appraisal is worthless or a comment has no value because the member is new...but no one else is allowed to say something seems fishy with the new OP. You really have a big ego...one set of rules for you, a different set for everyone else (in your mind at least).
