domain OOP.COM value?

[VUI]

I'm not in the "domain name" marketing business, so I'm getting all the information I can about how to "do it right." After some hunting, I've found this to be the most helpful place by far.

I recently came to acquire "OOP.COM" (along with 3 other guys), and we're looking to sell it. I'll be spending a GOOD deal of time on this site (very informative), but was just wondering if anyone had ballpark thoughts on how much it might sell for....

Nice a 3 letter .com domain. I don't really know what they are worth but I am thinking med XX.

 

[LeeRyder]

those are O's right? (as in look)

if so, then its a pretty good and brandable name. that and being 3 letters and a .com make it pretty pricey im willing to bet. What, if i may ask.. did you pay for it?

I'd say low$XXX to begin with.

I'm not great at appraisals, I think everything is worth a fortune so i'll leave that to the others.

What I will say is that I think it's worth some decent $, especially if what you're developing has something to do with 'out of print' books, records, etc... Or do you have other plans for it?

 

[VUI]

Yup -- those are O's.

I was one of the founding employees of an internet startup that did "Object Oriented Programming" (hence the domain name). A few years ago, we were bought out by a British company, and they let the domain name lie dormant. When it was coming up for renewal, a few of us who were from "the old days" asked if we could just have the name, and they gave it to us. Nice.

So we have thousands of worthless stock options, but a domain name that may be worth a few thousand dollars. We'll see.

Again, I appreciate the expertise I'm finding here.

Great domain! "Object Oriented Programming", fantastic. :tu:

High $xxx at least IMHO.

Out Of Print Books -- that's very cool! I was planning to put up a splash page on oop.com suggesting what it could be used for, and you've made a great suggestion.

As a newby who hasn't "given back" anything to NamePros.com, I'm again grateful for the discussion and will be happy to share some of the profits to support the maintenance of this website.

I apologize for showing my ignorance, but $xxx means "hundreds" (and $XX means under $100), right? Is there a difference between $XXX and $xxx?

$xxx $XXX $### = 3 figures $100-$999
$xx $XX $## = 2 figures $10-$99
etc.

A great three letter domain names, very rare in the market today. I would say at least $1,000 undeveloped. Good luck!

Hello
This is a great 3 letter domain.
$5k to $15K if lucky you can bring more!

 

[RJ]

Low search results, and few typins but still a SOLID three letter .com. Development possibilities for "out of print" books or Object-oriented programming are obvious.

If you were to sell now its likely you could get $4k to 6k for it from a domain investor or collecter of three letter .com's.

 

[VUI]

I appreciate the information. It does strike me as a domain name with great potential, and I'm just getting my feet wet (as it were) with this domain name thing....

agreed. this domain is very high $ as-is.. go develop it and you'll make a fortune.
