discuss Smartphone.com for $100k. Is it cheap?

[Arpit131]

I just saw a post on FB by a broker that the domain name Smartphone.com is for sale by it's owner at $100,000.

I initially thought that it was cheap but then, some of the other domainers argued that the name may be outdated in the next 3-4 years.

What are your views on this pricing and why?

They should have tried to sell it ten years ago. You could see this coming...

The words 'Smart & Phone' will always be in-trend at least as long as phones continue to exist.
'Smart' is a relative term and will always have a constant value as a word, even though what's perceived as smart will change and phones will continue to get smarter with the surge of innovation.

As for the $100k purchase, i would say it's just about right and the domain has the potential to sell for at least $500k.
As for how soon, only time will tell...

According to @barybadrinath he had 850K and 2.5m offers for the name not long ago..

..now it's only 100k

strange things happen all the time here..

Those offers are made up, fake.

Name isn’t worth much any more, how about colortelevision.com or portablecomputer.com?

let's ask @barybadrinath - so were those $850K and $2.5M offers just fakes or legit?


thanks in advance

In the one link he mentions samsung owns the plural

http://smartphones.com/

I see they are putting it to good use

Even they think the domain has not much use at this time.

Outdated? Maybe on the primary market if new "phones" are made that are called something other than smartphone.

But it could have value for EOL and second-hand "smartphones".

If he EVER had any 'offers' of $850K and $2.5M on it, he would have bought it outright when it's available at $100K bin now. Any sensible broker would do the same. Also, the seller wouldn't have been selling it for $85k-90K BIN (after Sedo's commission) if had known of such 'offers', within a month of the entire BaddieBadger episode here on NP.

that's why i'm interested to hear more of this story... still curious what that all was, very educating stuff

Smartphones are here to stay but may have lost its peak...

You must ask the people whom I have worked with in domain industry ,how many offers turned out to be fake which I have offered to them till now. Nice assumption bdw

It's my exclusive wish to buy it or not..
Thanks for your kind advice. The word "sensible" has less importance for me as compared to word "trust".

Whether these offers were legit or not , I guess you were having the chance to know about it if the seller of smartphone. com would have accepted my request to initiate escrow for both smartphone and ephone on Jan 1,2.
Now you have lost the chance sir to know whether offers were legit or not.

 

[barybadrinath]

As with many other posts barybadrinath has made

<<I M not representing smartphone.com domain name or its owner .>>



I am not clear what his intent is, or why he keeps talking about this domain, or other domains, when he says he has nothing to do with them.

I was responding to the below post made by wwwweb.

Exactly, nobody would even pay the 100k. He has made up two unbelievable offers whilst the owner is trying to sell for 3% of the claimed offer price. All nonsense, school yard games on a name that would be lucky to sell for 5k even.

Anyway, it has sold at Sedo, don't know the price yet but guessing the 100K.
