Aaron -

CrudePricing.com is the domain that stood out to me. I did a search at namebio.com for Oil Related domain names. I couldnt find any recent sales comparables, but here is what I did find:

MidEastOil.com $1,200 2005-12-30 Afternic
OilandGas.net $650 2004-08-10 Afternic

"Crude Pricing" pulls up about a million search results. The real question is, who is most likely typing in "Crude Pricing" on a search engine? My guess is, Investors. I think those are the target audience for this domain/site.

Based on the sales comparisons - even though MidEastOil.com sale is about a year old. I think it gives us a nice indicator of where the "oil" market domain names are worth. I wouldnt be suprised to see this name fetch high xxx - probably in the $700 range to the right end user. Potentially more if your recieving lots of type-ins. But without traffic information - Im gonna stick by the $700 tag.

In terms of reseller price - Im going to go with a mid to high xx - $65

Agreed with domainspade that crudepricing.com is definitely the bread winner here. In terms of development the options are pretty much open as crude has a couple of meanings. As domainspade (can i just as DS from now on? - It gets tedious lol) said crude could relate to oil or you could use it more in it's descriptive sense.

Having said that i don't see great value in either, to teh right buyer both of course could be worth more however i would hesitate to say any higher than mid to high $xx.

As mentioned before crude can relate to oil or a descriptive word. With that in mind, I could see CrudePricing.com fetching mid $XX to a regular buyer, and mid $XXX to an end user.

As for GulfCrude.com, I'm sure you're refering to the Gulf of Mexico oil drilling. I really don't see it fetching more than regular fee.

crudepricing.com - definitely the stronger domain here. i would place a call to a broker and see how they advertise stocks regarding oil, fuel, drilling, etc. This should give you an approximate idea where you need to position this domain. there is no doubt in my mind that this page COULD be used as a resource guide and price review/stock ticker guide, specifically tailored for oil. Also, i think the most important ingredient in positioning this domain would be to get an RSS feed relating to the OPEC.
the domain itself, without content - low $xxx
but not developing this one would be the wrong decision in my eyes.


and gulfcrude.com,...well,...ummm.....No potential as a stand alone domain i believe, BUT, who said you couldn't affiliate the gulfcrude with the crudepricing and run a seperate oil forum or something of the likes, or affiliate with the oil rig job sites, etc.... other than that, reg. fee
