domain Please appraise: starkhorror.com

Hi guys,

I am new to domaining, and I was goofing off on GoDaddy the other day and I ended up buying these domains:

lusciousgreen.com
starkhorror.com

Wise or dumb?

 

[matty45]

I think they are good! As long as you are lucky and patient!
Not quick flips though!

 

[abrusnahan]

Could you elaborate more on the "Patient" aspect. Is there a certain period I should expect to wait. I know I have to wait 60 days due to GoDaddy's guidelines, correct?

They are worth $0 in my opinion,
you registered this domains yesterday, so you can still call Godaddy and ask them for refund.

 

[abrusnahan]

Why do you feel as though they are worth zero? Since I am new to this, I would love to know where your criteria is coming from.

Zero value, IMO.

If you regged these names to develop into websites yourself, then the domain-value doesn't really matter;

But since you regged these to sell, they should have some clear value and usage, which these don't. These fall into the category of the millions of names that people reg because they 'sound neat' and 'someone might buy them'. Which is emptying the wallets of domainers worldwide, and filling the wallets of registrars worldwide.

Suggestions are to find names that:
- are common and desirable phrases, slogans, terms, and/or have a healthy amount of exact monthly searches
- are forward-thinking names of products, tech, services, terms that may be only beginning now but in a few years may be very well-known
- this is the most important one: domains that you can find at least a couple dozen end users for, who you feel might be strongly interested in purchasing your name. Not vague like 'oh someone in horror films might want it', I mean SPECIFIC. Make sure you can see a couple dozen end users who you rationally feel might like the name enough to pay a few xxx for it.

StarkHorror is a vague term, no one searches for it. StarkTerror is the common term but domain is regged.
LusciousGreen really means nothing; lusciousGarden/s would have been okay but they are both taken. Also note that luscious is a word very prone to typos.

Hang around here to learn more before spending your hard-earned shekels on more domain regs; check the other appraisals to see what kinds of names are getting good/bad comments; check the 'your reg of the day' thread to see what kinds of names people are regging; check the available domain names threads (including mine in sig) to see what kinds of great names are still available to reg, which ones people are grabbing and which ones are being left alone.
