domain Please appraise adapted.com

[mcsadapted.com]

I have owned adapted.com for twenty years but no longer need it for small my computer support business. Over the years I have received offers of couple thousand dollars for it, but now I am motivated to find a buyer.

Could someone recommend an appropriate venue (GoDaddy? Sedo Ebay?) for listing it? Looks like it might be worth between $2000 and $11-$14,0000 (various online valuators.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's worth in the $35k+ range retail.

Really?

Wrong word for that, it might be years and a lot of blind luck before it will fetch that much.

I see nothing in any extension developed under that word.... in fact I see no companies with google under that word unless I really start to dig then maybe something.

It just isn't a great word.

I would try to find companies with the same name before I try to auction it. Do a Google search. I am sure you'd find a few companies that are called (Adapted) or (Adapted [keyword]).

Personally I would take anything in the 3-5k range for it.

Check linkedin and search companies called "ADAPTED" . Also you should be looking at longtail interations of the domain in terms of development i.e Adapted+Word.com/net/org/anything. Just looking at whether or not domains are developed by searching google for site:adapted.*, is only one part of doing a full analysis of the domains end user potential because you have to be looking at all possible combinations that are derivative to the original one word domain name.

Also that retail price range I provided is the upper limit, I did not provide any ranges, just gave a valuation based on publicly listed domain sales. It will probably take it a long time to sell at my valuation.

Resell - $5-8k

Standard End - $15k

Unique gotta have it now end user - $25-35k

Theoretically a one word .com is worth quite a bit but in this case the word is just way too obscure.

If I owned the domain and faced 1000+ renewals it would be one I would let go and I would consider myself lucky to get 5k for it.

Yes, yes, of course the waiting game may pay of but with such an obscure word that may be a far longer shot than even some of the more obscure 4 letter .com's which are selling in the 150-250 dollar price range.

I own a few obscure 4 letter .coms and I bet I see a hit on one of those far sooner than the op will ever see a hit for over 5k on his.

Sounds like good advice. Is one landing page as good as another? Should it have specific info about pricing?

Look into efty.com for landing page... as someone already mentioned above, list it on all marketplaces and see what offers come in... Give it 2-3 years.

All the best...

In terms of pricing, you already have the experience of past offers. I also suggest that you use NameBio to see what similar names have sold for. It has noise of not similar names, but this link gives .com extension name sales that end in 'ed'.

In terms of sales venue, I think Sedo is a good choice with great record of high value sales. A very responsive newer entry in resale marketplace is Undeveloped (and their commission structure is lower).

I would think another option for a name like this might be to seek a broker who is willing to handle it.

Best of luck with it!
