domain Please Appraise Casino(.)fo

[Toni]

Ok this is probably a very tough appraisal, I know that casino(.)any-extension easily sell for +$1k even to resellers and if you push them to sedo you can usually expect around 2-3k for the worst extensions (high renewal + small country).

Now the thing in the .fo namespace is that:

Hi Toni

It is not possible to change the owner of a faroese domain, unless the owner
deletes the domain, and the new owner applies for the domain in a new
application. Doing this will set the domain in a quarantine of 30 days, and
afther this quarantine period, the new application can be made.

Changing the administrator is possible. The owner can send us a email and
inform which user shall be given the administration rights to the domain.
It is important that this notice comes from the owner of the domain, and
that he informs us of the FO-number of the new administrator.

Vinaliga / Best regards

There is obviously a small risk involved if ever I sell the name and delete it from my account.

I am not sure if I am really asking for an appraisal here, but more of some guidance, what would you do??

According to Dn Sales Price there has been successful .fo sales in the past (even reported in DN Journal - but I have not found the sales)

Yeah, what should I do?? Obviously I would like to sell since I have no interest in developing a gambling domain... I even had the chance to grab some single letter .fo names but I passed because of this situation and only took casino(.)fo , but many .fo domains are held by the usual domainers that crawl these "minor" extensions LOL

Thanks

Hey Toni,

There are a number of casino.tld sales in the low $,$$$ range but I think it's resellers gadgets mostly (review all the casino.tld or sex.tld sold and see how many are developed). I don't see an end user using that type of name in an obscure extension where they do no business. .fo is not branded like .me or .tv.
Obviously, the local market is very small and the red tape doesn't help a lot.
IMO it's a domainer to domainer domain, yet there is hope :gl:

Thanks Kate, much appreciated

I did my research now and this is what I found on all the 28 (!) reported casino.tld sales:

Parked: 8

Not resolving or under construction: 4

Forwards to another casino site: 2

Semi-serious casino site: 4

Fully branded casino site: 10



I guess the only way to sell it is to take the risk and delete it and only make the new owner pay if he successfully re-registers the name??

Or lease the domain, but I have never tried that..

Not my niche, but... be the end user. Set up an affiliate perhaps. A developed site can only boost a possible sale.

Really a tough one to appraise, who known how much it could fetch...

Thanks Kate, much appreciated
