domain REX.COM Domain Name

[Joey Havlock]

Hi Folks,
I am constantly approaced about my domain name, REX.COM. I had it appraised by greatdomains and they suggested a price of $75k. I would love some feedback by you folks. Personally I think it is worth much more and have turned down some considerable offers over time. I know that REX means King in many different languages, so I like to think of it as the potential King of the Net. Anyway, a friend of mine suggested this place as a potential resource so I just really wanted to step in and say hello and I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks much
Joey

I would value the name in the mid XX,XXX range. GreatDomains.com has some great domains, but they are often slightly overpriced for domainers simply because their target audience is end users.

I doubt very seriously that someone is going to buy the name because they browsed a web site and saw it for sale.
Thanks much!

I buy most of my names by visiting random domains to see if they're for sale. In addition to that, I visit Sedo, Afternic, and Great Domains frequently, as most domainers do.

Wow, that is really interesting, thank you very kindly for that info. Obviously I need to do a little more research. I will definately check out sedo.com.
Thanks again!

Like I said, I am in no big hurry to unload it. With the right price in front of me with a serious offer I would entertain the thought. I plan on holding on to it unless I am approached. I personally dont think a broker would be the right person for the job unless they are agressively seeking the right folks out there for it. As far as I understand a broker would just put it up for sale and then wait for a potential buyer to come across it. I dont think that is the way a domain name like this would be sold. I would assume that someone who has an idea and wants the name would just directly contact me. Do you know if my understanding of a broker is wrong?
Thanks
Joey



From my experience of "brokers" they do exactly that, sit and wait. Most GDoms, Sedo etc have a list of preferred clients ( people with money) which they offer all their premium names too.I would not be surprised if those lists were duplicated so the "buyers" will get sick of seeing hundreds of names oveer and over.

Direct approach to potential buyers is the best way and with a sublime name like yours it would not be difficult to compile a list of potential end users.

Anyway , great name. min $xxx,xxx to 7 figures :wave:
