Quiz for domainers

[thetruman]

Just come through one of my researches on archive .org a 2003 site (now mine) that used to sell domains. Please check the quality of them and the much lower value for many of them. Which one you reckon gained the most % increase in 5 years? This could be an interesting quiz for domainers...

That's an easy one

YRZ.com $370
Now worth about 20 times more

 

[htmlindex]

My vote would go for either YRZ.com or ad.net

 

[filter]

what about presents.com ??

 

[thetruman]

I think that nearly all of them are good bargains:
YRZ.com pretty obvious
presents.com
C02.com 75?
stands out

 

[briman1970]

I'd say Lez.net first, Ad.net second.

 

[Alex]

YRZ stands out, but Official was also cheap at that time. Even if it would not make the best ROI, it would have been one of the most solid buys, and one with great profit margins.

Edit: Now I saw presents. Definitely the best choice.

 

[Jasdon]

I'd go with presents.com - worth a few hundred times more.

 

[DomainMagnate]

Can't be true that presents.com sold for that low in 2003

this site was linked to NJ ...what can I say... if it was closing soon the price was anyway very close to the one shown...I have just copied- pasted

I think you need to find out what they actually closed out at; closing soon prices are not reliable, everyone seems to wait for the last 90seconds to bid!

Many of the above are worth 500% to 1000% more now (& that's just the 2nd list)

The 1st list is many times even that.... presents.com must've closed out much much higher imho.... it's a strong 6 figure name.

interesting to see what prices were so recently! an eye opener....

agreed, the "closing soon" list is tough to get a good bead on.

Seeing VZZ.com @ 1000 together with YRZ @ 370 suggests that presents.com might easily have gone past $5000 (just based on the multiple of 3 for VZZ vs YRZ) - and probably "should" have ended well upwards of 10,000 (compared to the "list" price of $45,000 for vintage.com in the "showcase" section) ...

Still, presents.com seems like at least a $250,000+++ name today ... (out of my area to price in this range, but certainly relative to ah ... I dunno ... flowers.mobi ... heh.)

Without a doubt presents.com Unless I'm appraising it wrong, presents.com is probably low $xxx,xxx making it at least a 55x return. Unless you guys think ad.net could hit mid-high $xxx,xxx it can't touch presents.com in terms of %ROI.

 

[vatsan]

I would go for lez.com

 

[bradocconor]

primerate.com was good

whole us economy is based around it

 

[sibaong]

Presents.com $1,740
YRZ.com $370
