domain Please Appraise: SpinePain.com

[videoexpert]

I bought a 16 year old domain from NameJet for $3,000 (SpinePain.com) and my wife saw I spent our savings and is pissed.
Any ideas on how I can sell a domain like this quickly? Can I even make a profit on this domain?

I am very discouraged right now so I appreciate any advice and tips. Thanks!!!

Well you now know ebay doesnt work, it's like trying to sell a Ferrari in the ghetto.

Every Chiropractor would be a potential end user. Back relief products too...

yes, the domain name has HUGE potential for the categories you describe.

Sometimes wonder if those members that have similar names ascribe "reg fee" because they may see an encroachment upon their "territory" and feel the need to dissuade someone from a name that is close to one of their own that they are attempting to sell. I understand the psychology, but it fades when the name overpowers the weak appraisal, as in this case...

should have been spinalpain for real value , sorry low $xxx for me , good luck

Spineconsult.com sold for $2588. You should contact owners of these type of domains and try to sell them yours. You could get more than you paid IMO.

I think you made a wise investment in this name.

You may have paid just a tad to much for it in today's market value. But some times that is a necessary evil in this industry at this time.


You are looking at a wide spectrum of end users. Chiropractic, Neurosurgeon, Rehabilitation and ect.

Ride it out and you could make high X,XXX To low XX,XXX in return

I Sold It!!!

This was my first domain investment and I came to this forum to get help and support. Instead of getting help and support it seems I got a lot of people posting negative comments and a lot of discouragement. To the few that posted helpful information and encouragement I want to say thank you!!!!

I am pleased to report I sold the domain in the mid-high 4 figure range and made a nice profit!!!:sold:
To those that said it was worth the 3 figure range or said I wasted my money, I'm sorry but your wrong. I think its crazy how I have no experience and yet I was able to prove many pro's wrong.

Again I appreciate Brad, .x., Fronzie, bannen, wwwweb, and others who provided helpful information and encouragement to a newbie. Thanks!

I am pleased to report I sold the domain in the mid-high 5 figure range and made a nice profit!!!:sold:

That's great to hear; nice that your first domain investment, where you took a BIG chance, paid off so well. That is rare, but it worked for you.

I'm not surprised you profited by this name, as I mentioned earlier; but I AM surprised by how well you did... mid-high xx,xxx is fantastic. I would have shot for mid-high x,xxx and figured that's where the sweet spot was, so you blew my valuation out the window

How did it happen, did you hire a domain broker or did you launch a campaign to send emails to end users yourself?

Kudos, congratulations

 

[hawkeye]

Congrats to you. And if you did get mid 5 figs for it, even a bigger congrats. Just goes to show you who here 'really' knows domains and their potential, and those that 'think' they know because they post here a lot.

(op made a mistake, wasnt 5 figures, so i edit my post) Nice normal endusre sale!

I think only one person used the r-word. And we all knew that was silly.

We all say here that you cant predict how high a enduser will go, and that any decent name can hit a homer under the right conditions. The better the "decent" name the better chance for a get out the tape monster home run.

You did what you had to do, hustle up an enduser. Good job, now tell the wife you need some of the money for your domaining career. lol

Congrats, nice sale.

Curious as well on how you went about selling it. Thru Sedo, direct using Escrow, emailing endusers, somebody contacting you?

 

[gemstar]

Congrats on the sale!
It was through Buydomains right? as the site is parked with them?:gn:

You might not have thought that SpinePain.com would cause you that much of Spine Pain !!

 

[videoexpert]

I totally made a huge mistake. It was mid-high 4 figures. $x,xxx.xx
Thats what I get when i'm typing at 2:00 in the morning lol. I used a domain broker and it took him a week to get it sold.

 

[Bannen]

mistake. It was mid-high 4 figures. $x,xxx.xx
Thats what I get when i'm typing at 2:00 in the morning lol.

Ha;
On the one hand, glad my appraisal skill wasn't flawed here; on the other hand, I wish it was and that you had indeed gotten xx,xxx

Still, hope you doubled your investment and hope it was a great first-sale experience for you. Nice going, good luck

[Keith]

Congrats!

The real question is...will your wife let you invest in more domains? :hehe:

Congrats on the sale. It is not that surprising to me.

Quality domains always have buyers, and this is a very high quality domain, especially end user wise.

I would suggest that the people who thought this was a low dollar domain take another look at their valuation methods.
