domain Please Appraise bitne.com, artistscenter.net

[GarretB]

Hey guys, please appraise bitne.com for me, i looked it up on estibot and it said it was worth quite a bit, like 500, i'm not sure how accurate that is though. I'm really curious about what this one is worth though it's one of the first domains i've bought. Also please appraise artistscenter.net if you have time.
Thanks!

Any thoughts anyone? They prob not worth very much? I also just purchased Abstractive.org let me know if anyone has any thoughts as to the value of that.

well ill kick things off.

before i make an appraisal, i figured id get you thinking a bit.

What does the domain name mean to you? What do you think it could mean to a end user?

For Bitne

It is a short domain name which could be good to an end user but it is not a dictionary term or a keyword.

Not counting how desperate some people may be to get a 5 letter .com, by name alone i would say registration only but considering it being 5L i would say id probably be worth considerably more than that. Depends on who wants it and how badly.

Rough uneducated estimate of reg-high $xxx

Hey thanks so much for your input! This really helps me out alot and gives me more to think about. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to domain names and I got pretty excited about this one when i saw it lol. I liked it cause of the 5L and slight pronouncability, I see what you mean though.
I'm glad to hear that i might have made a pretty decent purchase though. Hopefully i'll get lucky and find someone who really wants this name haha. Are auctions a good place for that or is it more often better to just hold it?
Thanks again for your help!

as well as being a 5L.com, according to google translate bitne means 'essential' in Croatian, so you could possibly target some end users in Croatia, but I'd check it more thoroughly first as google translate is not always 100% accurate.

Nice domain anyway.

Just some advices:

1) if you are new in this biz, don't register names for more than one year in advance. if you see that no one is interested and that you have no traffic during the first year, you can drop it and don't have to pay for 2 years in advance (just one). i see that you paid for 2 years for bitne.com until 2013

2) no need to register the .infos of such brandable names, even if its cheap. - .com is enough. - you registered bitne.info. why? no one will buy that.

3) if you want to specialize on 5L brandable .coms, for beginning its better to focus on names which are not only pronounceable and catchy, but also include a key. by that, i mean try finding cool names with keys like "bid", "buy" , "job" or even 4 letter words. then try to made up a nice 5L out of it. - it is much more difficult as most of them are gone. but now and then, you can find few of them. ordinary CVCVC or VCVCV etc. 5 letter names are hard to sell, unless you have really something catchy and someone really likes it.

Now some realistic Appraisals:

bitne.com - reg fee
artistscenter.net - reg fee to maybe xx - .com is for sale and no bids
abstractive.org - reg fee, no commercial use

don't want to hurt your feelings, but i think honest realistic appraisals are better for a newbie than anything else. saves you money !

btw, you could try to sell artistscenter.net to theartistscenter (d0t) c0m.
they have a .com, but with "the" at the start. they may give you few bucks for your .net.

or another option: atlantaartistscenter (d0t) 0rg

another option: artistcenter (d0t) c0m (they have the one with artist , not artists)

anyway, i think it will be hard, as yours is .net and artist(s)
