Offspring and Possum don't seem to work with this extension because they're not products. "The offspring company?" Unless you've got them in mind as brandables, I don't see much value here.

Out of the others, Associates Degree is the better of the two because it's a complete degree program, rather than a specific field of study. I have no idea how much they'd go for - .CO sales vary widely and it's still too early to tell. Offspring & Possum are $0, to me.

Thanks DomainSushi, but quick question.
Why do they have to be products. I definitely have Offspring and Possum in mind as brandables, they are the ideal domains to setup a brand around.

Eg Offspring baby clothing, kids for toys. Possum could be the same.

I just dont see why they have to be actual products. I think for .co to succeed, you want companies to use them as branding, similar to what o.co is doing. Ok not the best example But you get what I am saying.

Thanks again.

Brandables can be great, but I guess I assumed you were asking about their resale value, as in a fairly quick flip.

I guess the brandable vs. product thing just stems from the way I think, so maybe it's a quirk of mine. But when I see a product name, I can easily go into Google and identify manufacturers, retail outlets, etc., that are advertising with those terms. Yes, Possum COULD work for a brand, but it seems like you'd either have to go out and actively search for a company who wants to to rebrand themselves as "Possum," or wait (potentially several years) for them to come to you.

If you're in the baby clothes/toys business and are planning on launching your own brand under the name, that's a different story. But most domain investors only develop in the fields that really interest them (and some don't develop at all), so I figured you might have been asking about their straight-up resale value.

I don't think "offspring" sounds that great for a brand, either - it's not as cute and short as "kids," "baby," etc. It sounds very technical and biological. I'm not saying they're horrible names - you're obviously going with what's available now, and I can understand that the pickings are slim.

Appraisals aren't set in stone, and if you have a specific vision for the names, by all means forge ahead! But I'm just giving you my opinion.

And technically, although a lot of people might not realize it and spell it "Possum," the correct spelling is Opossum.

Snoop recently sold Possum.com for $13500.

I remember when it was for sale wondering who would buy it and why. It's currently a site with some information on Possums... something wikipedia is for. But each to his own.

.CO appears to be valued by people by anything from .1% to 1% of the .com value though I've seen some sales where it is more than the 1% and plenty of asking prices where it's greater than 20%.

I think anything that's 1-5% is fair as an estimate for something that's really strong.

So you're looking at 1% of $13,500 which would be $135. Realistically, if you find an end user they would pay more than $135 but it would be foolish to think they would spend over 10% of the .com because it is likely you could get the .net for that.

People will say that .co is already better than .net; however, it comes to familiarity. Would you, an end user, be willing to spend significant money on that .co OVER the .net?

Maybe in 3 years? By then your investment will be $100 and you have to consider that you won't sell 100% of what you own so you need some "eat in to profits lost cost".

I think something like Possum.co might be worth about $150 but I still wonder about my first answer.. who would want Possum as a brand? They are, after all, vermin you find squashed on the side of the road.

I don't see much value in Offspring and neither the degree.

AssociatesDegree.co has some value - lead generation for for-profit schools is quite good; however, I think this market is in decline as we see the number of schools shrink from their current high to a more solid stable number. But this is not end user value more developer/domainer value imho which is a hindrance to resale.

Could be wrong, of course. And all just IMO.

Well created Lead Gen sites - especially the latter. If you can get the .com traffic then you will get an impressive sale
