domain preorder.us

[Rob]

Hey people.

Had this baby a little while now and wondered on current opinions of value.

Obviously, it has many uses, especially towards digital media - CD's, DVD's etc.

All ideas, suggestions, appraisals and comments most welcome.

I like the name for the real estate market.
A lot of preordering of condos and new homes
occur in hot real estate markets, and especially
in Las Vegas. In the next couple of months you
will be able to preorder residences at the Red Rock
Casino in Las Vegas. I dont know if you can sell
it, but concidering who the buyers would be, I
wouldn't sell it cheap.

 

[Rob]

Thanks for that info dna, its appreciated. I think some people just type anything without really thinking.

Cheers.

Nice name. High XX.

For development, sign up for affiliate programs and put up some stuff that can be preordered.

What would you guys class as development? Perhaps links to the latest products for preordering, and hope to earn affiliate links from that?

.US kills it

I wonder if you would say that if somebody offered you more than reg fee for your 'theauto.us' domain...

ROB,
appraisals are certainly subjective, this name is not worth that much, .us is a hard sell at best and while there is the possiblility of small development with some income off it, there is not a ton of value as is, i would put a $40 cap on it wholesale and lucky if it breaks $100 to an end user

Too many Namepros members think that the customer is a
sixteen year old Vietnamese kid who trades domain names
from his grass hut in the Mekong Delta. The customer for this
domain name is a fat guy who lights his cigars with
$1000 bills.

 

[donlee]

what in the world are you talking about, that makes not a lick of sence to me, you think every one of the millions of domains registered in all extensions are going to end up in the hands of a millionaire? keep dreamin and smoking those uhmm cigars

 

[RyuKenLi]

I should buy it since I'm Vietnamese, right?

 

[Rob]

You are welcome to make an offer

I hate to see posts like these from people who don't seem to know the market for an extension. Dot us is not hard to sell if you choose quality domains. I sold two recently for $5,000 each. I've turned down six $xxxx offers at Sedo this year for another that is a two-word domain including one offer just last week. In the last year I have sold several for $xx,xxx.

As for the domain in this thread, looking at the keyword no clear product or service comes to mind which means it would need to be marketed extensively. Sometimes a term can be too generic. Occasionally this can be overcome by using sub domains particularly for nouns. For example services.ext is vague but you gain excellent development value through sub-domains that are parsed perfectly for terms that have high overture search results (without ext):

catering.services.ext (catering services ovt 182,000)
taxi.services.ext (taxi services ovt 115,000)
legal.services.ext (legal services ovt 108,000
employment.services.ext (employment services ovt 108,000)
pet.services (pet.services ovt 103,000)

"preorder" only has a an overture score of 346 and it also does not work for sub-domains because as a verb it precedes the subject and would appear in a browser as:

preorder.ext/condos
preorder.ext/dvds
preorder.ext/homes

Since there is no natural search for "preorder" or types of items to preorder, I just can't see value in the domain for a developer. Unless an end user has a clear vision of how they would use the domain to make money, I don't see it having much value there either.

Thanks for the post Fundraiser. Rep added.

Normally I believe that overture tells the value
of a domain name, but there are exceptions.
This is a prestige name for a wealthy clientele.
It enhances a web site and should be marketed
as such.
