I would rather add 300k and buy Translate.com :D

Trust me, you wouldn't want to compete with google on this niche...

 

[atinc]

Google itself use one of my domain buyer company for their translation related business.

good for you. its Google! hope you made a huge profit out of it.
care to share the domain name?

 

[atinc]

Wonder what it would have sold for if a domainer owned it instead of the registry? Higher or lower?




In the Translate sale thread many have mentioned that professional / business usage is done with a real service instead of Google Translate which is not human based hence the sales price.

Probably lower... What do you think?

I know there are translation services. But in todays world they are still competing with google imo. Google translate is free hence people who are online use it more often. For a regular translate agency the sale price of this domain would be unnecessarily high imo

I already started thread regarding that. That was history. Don't want to repeat.
I did not sell name to Google! I sold hand reg names in XXXX to another Translation related company. Google is also their client. IMO this thread is going out of topic as there is another thread regarding recent sale of Translate.com

 

[Rinkuji]

Well you came up with the story...

Pm'ed you the link.

bargain!

 

[topdom]

Could be fake/insider sale, but at the same time believable. Question is, how to turn this news into our 4-5 figure sales. Registries reserve best ones for themselves so we can't hope to get 6 figures, but 5 figures may be possible.

I imagine they could have just bought OnlineCasino.com for that price

Yes 'casino' single keyword domains all fetch decent money if you look at the history of sales.

 

[Brands.International]

I imagine they could have just bought OnlineCasino.com for that price

Or OnlineCasino in .net, .org, .co.uk, .de, .fr, .us and another hundreds of ccTLDs...
In my opinion, for future, it is easier and more convenient to own just Online.Casino, without any GEO suffix...specially when you are doing something like online casino, you do not want to limit yourself unnecessarily...

 

[venturefile.com]

But what if you're starting an Online Casino :D

Then OnlineCasino.com or another premium domain in the .com extension.

What do you think of the domain Onlines.Casino

What do you think of the domain Onlines.Casino

Close try....but it does not make much sense imo, as there is 1 additional "s" in this domain name
No problem if you want to experiment with it though.
