I bought this some time ago from the guy who regged it when the premium prices where lifted. I didn't buy it to sell but I'm kinda curious about what people think it's worth.

 

[Vito]

Very Nice Name.

$200 - $4/500 here at NP.

AfterMarket and/or EndUser Sale outside of NP...
$x,xxx+
Sky's the limit.

Best of luck,
Vito

I agree with this valuation, just not the sky is the limit part.

Aloha!

Won't put a price on it but I will say the value likely went up with PhilosTV.com launching a few months ago, in Sept. (the name was only regged in July).

I was happy to get a heads-up on the launch... not because its a tv.com, but a viewer of my SpeciesTV.com site thought I'd be interested.

The site is a hit, in its circle, and is finding its audience... as the format really works. I have yet to click away once I click play.

The presenters are so distinguished I think they will find an audience of sponsors as well.

Would say around $100, ok term though not much commercial relevance, not sure who would really pay a significant premium for it.

 

[MicroGuy]

I would guess the reg fees will erode any potential margin within 2 to 3 years sans development.

Agree, value wise I don't think it is a name worth holding for anything length of time if you've got $10 renewals on a $100 name.

There's a decent market for philosophy books, documentaries and courses. Sure, the dot tv isn't the most valuable extension but seeing the .co.uk sold for over 15k, there's clearly a market for the subject.

I bought this from someone who got this when the premiums were released. So there are at least two people who thought it was more valuable than $100 or $1000 for that matter. Also, I had higher offers than $100 on this domain.

Why would I pay a premium? I study philosophy, I want to develop this domain in the future.

I don't want to sound defensive but I believe you guys underestimate both the commercial value of the term and the personal value it has for some people. As I believe my examples proofed.

edit:
what's with the abusive tags?

 

[baobab]

Agree elius.

I once heard a professor commented: 'American' Philosophy = gasoline philosophy (a valuation system based on commercial value & practical use).

Not sure if that's true?

It's understandable that Oil, Gas, Gold are more valuable to folks than Poetry, Philosophy, History...

Fortunately, the 'super' rich tend to get bored with commodity values quickly and usually shoot higher for the intangible (e.g. PHILOSOPHY .

Best wishes.

Not sure what you mean, are you saying the prior owner paid over $1000? If not how do you justify that at least two people thought it was worth more than $1000?

Buying something because you have in interest in the subject doesn't mean you got a great deal in terms of price, actually usually it works the other way around.

Just ignore it, there is some people on this sub forum with issues.

Yes, I meant the previous owner and myself. I had some bids thru pm as well since I started this thread.

Maybe I shouldn't count myself but I bought it for development purposes and not for reselling so in this case I'm an enduser. I know I didn't pay reseller price. I just wondered how other people would appraise it.

My point is that $100 or even a few hundred is way less than was paid by the previous owner, by me or was offered through pm to me.

I presented a few arguments why the term and the specific domain has more value than some believe. I haven't seen much of an argument for the $100 appraisel, just opinions and attempts to counter my arguments.
Saying "no commercial value" without supporting it with arguments makes it just an opinion. It is also provably wrong.

I see the name as having value greater than $100. If you know the topic and like the name that is most important. The name would get more than $100 at a wholesale level any day of the week. Again IMO

The name was bought for reg fee, was it not?

I didn't say it had no commercial value, I said I thought it was worth about $100, I said it has "ok term though not much commercial relevance". Not much commercial relevance is more a fact than an opinion in my view, you can look at the advertisers on google and see there is not much commercial relevance, all the ads relate to skincare because of the philosophy brand, there is nobody bidding $1 per click to get people to read a site about Plato.

Aloha!

I agree with this.

I've seen names I think are equivalent sell for $400-600 this year and some similar (but for me better) at under $200.

Doesn't rule out more but I wouldn't expect a killer number. I don't think X,XXX is out of the question but it's less likely than the values above.

Philosophy is somewhat of a education market over a business market and extremely broad; however, it's a name that could be used in a business context but it's not a natural fit and someone would really want to do that.

My first thought was actually that there's a lotion called this This will massively skew any "exact" search numbers which is why I think Phrase searches are often actually more relevant.

But you bought the name because you have an interest - so why do you care what it's worth because it's likely worth more to you than anyone else. If you've had bids (plural) then you already have a realistic idea.

Finally - Snoop is ONLY PROVABLY wrong by actually making a sale.

If you REALLY think this name is valuable then you should also reg. Philosophe imho which is available still.

CAVEAT: I'm not sure anyone on this board really knows. Everyone here has passed over names for under $1K that have sold for more than > $10K and passed over names at < $50 that sold for > $1000

I had an idea about it's value. It was confirmed by pm's

People did appraisals via PM? Or people made offers via PM?

both and by several people

 

[Argos]

lol, I don't like the odds at $1. I could lose it to some cheap bastard having a break.
I have the Dutch version also and I wanted to develop them but obviously it's taking some time

Do you still intend to develop or just sell ?
If any, your development concept attached to the name could be much more valuable than the name alone.

Don't you wonder why Appraisals are done via PM?
