SHIPPING.us

Over 1 Billion results on Google. I think it has pretty good commercial potential (think FedEx or UPS), and the ".us" extension clearly identifies the "shipping" beginning and end-points.

I need some value opinions on this for I'm thinking of putting this in upcoming auctions.

Thanks.

Very nice name Tom,

1 of your better names i would say

I have to be honest, this name is a keeper.

I would hold onto it for at least 2 years.

and you should not sell for less than $100,000

As you noted fed ex, ups, < they will spend over a million per month on advertising i would say.

Also it's a name ebay could do with.

$100,000 for this name is not to far fetched IMHO!

But for now i would set up some sort of affiliate programme.
Packaging materials, Private shipping,

I've always used tracking options when ever i ship/get things shipped to me and this would be perfect to get all the companies listed and provide a tracking service on shipping.us.

The above would give the name/company a little bit of authority and make the value treble.

And make as much money as possible before you decide to sell.

But if your looking to sell your names i'd seriously consider locking this 1 up for a few years.
I'm sure we'll be able to track everything single thing we ship in the years to come.

Good luck if you decide to sell.

this is a .us not a .com

low $xxxx

Reseller is likely to garner no more than mid-XXX. It's a very nice .us, but you'll need to sell to an end user to get any serious value. Thus, I would not recommend the auction route.

low $xxxx

Thats why i said $100,000 and not $500,000

Start thinking like an end user then appraise his name for him.

I may bee off a little, but not by much i would say.

The names only worth what someone is going to pay for it.

Shipping.com would worth mid xxx.xxx$ easily

Shipping.us can worth high x.xxx$ for reseller, and high xx.xxx$ for a good end-user =p

I think the .com would be mid xxx,xxx, maybe even high if more than one of those big companies named before wanted it.

One thing I've learned from the people of this forum is that a good keyword is a good keyword as long as it's in an established extension. You can find .us sites on google, and I'm seeing it advertised more and more. Just yesterday I saw a .us domain on someone's truck, advertising their business, so shipping.us I think would be worth a lot.

I'm going to have to go with DotUSDomains on this.
Very high xx,xxx to low xxx,xxx.

 

[TeddyBear]

$3000 to a reseller imo

 

[Tim Schoon]

agree with low xxxx

 

[domainica]

Well, we've got a range of $500 ("mid-XXX") to $100K.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the value's probably somewhere in-between.

More value opinions welcome.

Since when do appraisals default to an end user perspective? This is an awesome domain, but $5,000 - $7,500 is all it resells at.

My own gut feeling is probably $8K - $12K, reseller. But that's a gut feeling only. I'm not up on domain appraising methodology, so that's why I'm soliciting advice from those that are.

I'm definetly to high for a reseller sale, i know that

My appraisal was based on an end user sale in a year or 2.

But again thats on the high side.
