domain Orderflowers.co

[Optimiza]

Hello,

I bought this new domain because I think it has a great potential for people looking to develop an app or a website related to the flowers industry and I think there's a good value just because the keywords involved on it.

The market for this domain is obvious (flowers market). Based on Google keyword planner the key phrase "order flowers" it was searched on average 8,100 a month on the past 12 months in the USA. On February 2015 it reached more than 18,000 searches.

I know the TLD domain .co it's odd although, as of July 2010, it was generally agreed that .co TLDs could be used as a global, neutral TLD.

Google announced in July 2010 that: "We will rank .co domains appropriately if the content is globally targeted. Webmasters will soon have the functionality to be able to specify this by using the geo-targeting options in Google Webmaster Tools." Being said this, theoretically the tld makes no difference with the search engines.

There are more than 1,400,000 domains Globally with .co. In the top 1 million sites there are 2,698 sites ending with .co. and just to mention two companies, Twitter use it to shorten URLs in Twitter and the well know website Vine.

The domain is new and is not generating any traffic or revenue as for today.

My idea of the price would be something like $xx,xxx (mid, mid high)

Please let me know your thoughts about it.

For .co, a company that would want to sell flowers would probably go for petals.co, bouqet.co, stems.co, etc.

Look at the .co sales over $1k on namebio, these are the types of .co's that companies want.

If you build it out, however, I think you can get a lot of value out of this name.

You can't treat .co's like .com's when investing (at least yet).

Thank you Beezy for your answer and I agreed with what you said, but since those good domains are already taken, I think mine has a good opportunity for anybody looking for their killer domain for their new startup in this niche market.
And based on namebio the domain "orderflowers dot com" was sold for $34,500 USD back in 2013, so this is good reference.

Comparing apples to oranges, just because the .com sold for a good amount doesn't mean the .co (or another outlier extension) should sell too.
It's of course important to look at comparable sales, but at the same time kind in mind that many sales are not going to repeat in other extensions, especially inferior extensions.
I think you will have more luck with single keywords.

Why do you think your domain should be worth "$xx,xxx", it's like saying it's as valuable as the .com since it sold in that range...

I totally understand your point, I didn't came here to say how much it's worth or to debate, I came here for guidance and help, since I'm not a domainer and I don't have that much of experience selling domains. What I do understand very well is the value to have such keywords alone in one domain with an extension that it's being used by big and successful US companies.

I just need a ballpark value based on the facts surrounding the domain.
