Hi, thought this had end user potential: is the everyday term for the highly competitive commercial market of vegetarian food and is the word for VEGTABLES in French. It has quite high global searches of 1 million a month. Any thoughts on price, whether to develop or park would be much appriciated. Thanks in advance

Apologies for my poor dislexic spelling of 'vegetables'

I think development would be a good direction for this one...there is such a huge variety of things you can do with "legumes" from a health site to a vegetarian site to a recipe site. It's too nice to park. Legumes.com is parked, which is a shame because it has so much potential.

Right now, with no development, mid $xxx.
Developed - low-mid $xxxx (depending on the breadth of your development and traffic)

You may want to hang on to this one for a least 1-2 years. Just IMO.

I know it's the French word for vegetables, I'm not sure about other languages, but the meaning could well be different.

I don't see a lot of potential personally, even if you had the .com I don't think it would be worth a lot of money. Just because it's a generic keyword does not make it valuable. The valuation for French domains is much lower than the English counterparts.

Moreover, it's just not the type of product that lends itself to online use: I don't buy vegetables online, I go to the market or supermarket.
Perhaps it could be a B2B domain for a vegetables wholesaler but the thought of a wholesaler buying that domain is a stretch imo.

Ask yourself, what kind of website would you put up on that domain.

Pretty old school opinions there. Think outside of the box. You could easily run a recipe or health site. Whoever said you needed a "buy it" physical product in order to have a successful site? If I ask myself what kind of wensite I can run, at least 10 things pop up. It depends how creative you are. The fact that it means something in multiple languages adds definite value.

As far as the valuelessness of generic keywords, I'd love for you to discuss that observation/opinion to Zappy and Rick. Would make for interesting discussion. Granted there are some generics that are worthless, but I think most people would agree that generics are the staple of the domain business. Just look at sales records. There's no room for argument.

You could easily run any site on it. The question is .. how much would someone who wanted to run this type of site pay for this particular keyword bearing in mind available competitive terms.

These types of sites are typically blogs and bloggers don't usually spend more than about $100-150.

I think any domain has $300 potential if someone is creative enough with $300 to spend.

As far as the extension goes... we're selling it "by thinking outside of the box" as COMPANY/CORPORATION so I'm not sure how you can diss the notion of "buy it" products so quickly.

If you're a company you can sell products or services. Vegetables are not a Service ergo it is a product.

Legumes.co

This is perfect for a company that sells Legumes? It could be a company that sells items associated with Legumes I suppose but then the association of domain to content starts to thin.

Also - the French is Légumes and ignoring IDN is thinking a bit traditionalist.

I don't think $250-350 is out of the question. Developed? Whatever you traffic and revenue gets you x 36 is the standard.

Thinking outside the box is good. Thinking outside the hypercube is not the same thing.

It's not a bad keyword though and better than many

Agreed.
That's why I appraised it at mid $xxx. If you just put a nice little blog on there and make $150 a year for 5 years, that's a nice 50% ROI and you wil be able to sell it for A LOT more. Not so bad at all.

I wonder how much you would appraise the .com :-/

That's a lot of IFs. You can justify any reg with 'developed it could turn into a nice site' statements. Domain appraisals are about the 'raw' value (if any).
Right now the built-in value is closer to $$ imho, again I'm not expecting that it could be sold as-is right now. How much is it worth if there are no buyers ?
Again, I'm seeing this as a French domain primarily, and I know the market for French domains is weak.

You don't have to see it as a French domain, that is your own desire and choice. Legumes is a fine word in the English language. When I give appraisals, I assume people would put work into the domain. That nullifies the "if' factor.

As a matter of fact, I don't care much to compare .co with .com prices.I think it's a waste of time, for the most part. I much prefer to compare .co with .tv :D. But, since you asked,

legumes.com mid-high $xxxx

Reg. fee reseller value IMO.

This is a decent keyword, but not the most commercially viable term.

The competition for the term "Legumes" is almost non-existent according to Google Keyword Tool and has a very low CPC.

The are no "legume" related sales on any major domain sales reporting site.

As a reseller right now you would struggle to get low $XXX for it IMO. It is probably more like Mid $XX reseller range.

I agree with Brad, while it is all very nice and all that and it is a commercially viable name in that people actually buy it, it doesn't exactly set the heart racing.

It is like that scene from the movie "When Harry met Sally" and they are discussing Sheldon, while I am sure he is a very nice bloke and all you cannot really see him being a demon in the sack with a name like that.

Harry Burns: With whom did you have this great sex?
Sally Albright: I'm not going to tell you that.
Harry Burns: Fine, don't tell me.
Sally Albright: Shel Gordon.
Harry Burns: Shel? Sheldon? No, no, you did not have great sex with Sheldon.
Sally Albright: I did too.
Harry Burns: No you didn't. A Sheldon can do your income taxes, if you need a root canal, Sheldon's your man... but humpin' and pumpin' is not Sheldon's strong suit. It's the name. 'Do it to me Sheldon, you're an animal Sheldon, ride me big Shel-don.' Doesn't work.

You may get a couple of hundred from a market trader but I wouldn't put too many hopes on being able to retire this year...or the next :p

Thanks once again for all your appraisals -very entertaining! and glad to see people are interested enough to input.

I think I will try and develop it, going down the Vegetarian root: Info/blog for now.

Unless anyone wants to make an offer?
