[smub]

well it all depends on the end-user buyer

if a person really like the domain or really needs a domain ... they can get it for w.e price they want ... i wouldn't paid that much for the domain above :P

I can see you and Quality now reging these....poker-room.com.... las-vegas.com :yell: :yell: Just kidding

:imho: they are last resort .com`s

[gazzip]

Don't panick Joker :lol: but I have got a few already - I'm just trying to keep an eye on what they are going for.

Perhaps the restless people own the same domain without the dash and want to cover those error type ins.

I would never get dash domain unless I owned the non dash version.

The only dash ones Ihave are some awful ones from my early days of domaining..which wasnt that long ago..

Well I definitely would take dubai-hotels.com

IS 6500 incoming links through some auto link system. Sounds like it. IF so which one. I'd like to get 6500 links to some of my sites/domains.

No auto link system as far as I found out it used to be an online reservation website so it will just be still listed in loads of websites.
Incoming Google Links: 0
Incoming Yahoo Links: 464
Incoming MSN Links: 6,044
Incoming Alexa Links: 6
Overall Incoming Links: 6,514

interesting. They seemd to have most of South East and west asia covered. Thats were most of the globes vacationing is done these days. Wonder why/how they let those go.

 

[sker]

heya guys look what the author has to say.

Probably you should be buying Legs-Restless.com to steal some traffic....

Nowdays on the internet everything looks to be gold & silver. Whether its a real gold or just a pure speculation, no one knows until the Bubble. 2.0.

Well curiosity finally made me check out restless legs . com and I had no idea there was such a syndrome/illness. Love that about this biz. you learn something every 10 minutes.

I thought it had to do with loose women or something. Shame on my dirty mind. Well at least I am proud I didnt rush to check it out.

So now with my new-found perspective I guess it could be worth spending that kind of money -- even though they are going to send a ton of traffic to the non hypen version.

well it depends how common this restless leg thing really is...


I cant think of any mainstream successful site with a hypen... But I am sure most 2-3 word sites own the dash versions as well.

 

[gazzip]

Bump - :notme: I know they are not "popular" but it appears they're not worthless going by some previous sales.

Anyone know of any other sales I can add to the list ?

 

[weblord]

talk about domain name crisis, people will take in anything they see and bypass the hypen on it.

 

[nickb.web]

i cant see how hyphen domains get type ins. my family, who in no way know computers, if they type in an address and cant find anything they just go to google rather than trying hyphens.

 

[bentong]

hyphen only matters to domainers...

[OK]

restless-legs... what a piece of crap domain. What a lucky bastard.

:lol: That's what crossed my mind too when I first saw it.

 

[OK]

Great minds think alike but I think i'm going to try something new. Think of the worst and most worthless domain available and sell it.

how about... omfg-squirrel-tree-pen-doughnut.com
Clearly worth thousands

 

[FanCube]

The opinion about hyphens is very different from area to area. In some countries is it very common to use hyphens in domains. Very often is the domain without the hyphen not even registered (!). Whoever not registering the version without the hyphen is not than common any more because it has resulted in problems with domain squatters.

True-To-You.biz/.be regged....Hasty though...

:lol: I wonder if "Great"domains will accept it ??

I fully understand that "most" domainers do not place any value on Hyphen domains but this does'nt mean end users are not willing to pay $x,xxx for them - I just thought that if we all reported any known Hyphen sales it would help evaluate them a bit better.

I am not suggesting people should go out and reg them

True-To-You.biz/.be regged....Hasty though...

The problem with hasty buys is they hardly ever look as good the next day !!

More Hyphen sales added

I've just added some more recent hyphen sales to my first post if anyone is interested in following them ?? :p I know how much you guys like hyphens
