gunauction.com $ 28 000

this was sold at sedo today.
please i want to no the reason why all this names worth this amount or is it cheap?

I think most generic domains today are selling undervalue because of the recession and domainers not understanding the value of an exceptional name, and how much those corporations really make.

mouse and keyboard.com are very underpriced there IMO. 100,000 is drops in the bucket for any IT company that has those mproducts, Logitech or Microsoft for example. Great buy for whoever purchased them.

Another under-priced domain.

The recession has hit domaining hard (just like everything else I guess).

Holy christ, great names and yeah, I believe underpriced, too.
I'm pretty sure that people on forums like this tend to drastically OVERVALUE certain names, but not these.

... in addition to numerous live auctioneers who specialize in selling rare and desirable firearms.

It's a US thing. Not much global relevance since there aren't many places where gun ownership is sufficiently free and commonplace- like it is here- to warrant something like gun auctions.

that could happen only in US i mean gun auction

Ugh, lets not turn this into a gun debate...
It's a lucrative market in the US, the US doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks about this issue. The end.

gunbid (dot) com was sold on godaddy's auction for $5 (plus reg fee) recently.

Guns are big business in the U.S.. And yet high controversal leading to eBay and many other on-line venues banning gun sales years ago, which leaves plenty of opportunity for others to sell those type of items.

And right now there's much fear, whether justified or not, that the current administration seeks to outlaw personal gun ownership.

Add to that the economic depression (yes, in the view of many it is; unemployment U6 is approaching 20% - google for more details about U3 and U6, which is more reflective of real unemployment) the U.S. is experiencing. Many people fear there will be more burglaries, robberies, and possibly even rioting mobs, as people get more desperate to survive.

Bottom line, in my view, is GunAuction.com sold for about what it should have; the seller did good while the buyer got a good, though not great, deal.

Seem like mouse.com went for very cheap, since it has many potential uses far beyond the computer field; easily brandable even for non-computer products / services. Keyboard.com is more limited, and $100K in today's economy, is probably about right; seller was likely lucky to even get that much.

I thought I saw at Sedo, Mouse and Keyboard were set at $750,000 USD. I think at those prices it is way overprice. Same thing $100,000 USD. Really, who is buying spare parts for computers these days?

I would think most of us buy a whole manufacture piece of electronics and very few of us would bother fixing it (if its fixable).

I also see that those were parking pages and still is.
At $100-200K it migh break even if there's going to be a brand type selling it but for parking pages (I don't know considering it has about 1,200 US Visitors a month via whois.sc for one of the names above).

How much does such a name make in parking anyway? if the click rate is 5% at maximum with about 500-600 clicks per year?

 

[shane mac]

100k outlayed today,hold the domain for 2 years and make 5k parked.
In 2 years as the market gets stronger,those names will be dynamite.300k+ its a lot better than putting it in a bank.

You don't think people buy non-stock mouses and keyboards?

Have you ever met a gamer, graphics designer, internet pro, person who spends a prolonged time on computers, or someone who has any knowledge of ergonomics?

Plus not to mention both those names (especially mouse) have almost infinite branding potential for non-traditional uses of the domain names (keyboard is more limited, granted, but mouse could be used for almost anything)

Great buy!

I have keyboard.pro up for sale. Check fixed price sales on name pros under subject "The .PROS & .COMS"

I agree that mouse.com has branding potential. But if parking makes $5k in 2 years (could be lower) due to economy etc., which means a return of 2.5% per year is less than what banks will give and typical of large investors who only look at higher returns.

As an investor/collector, it might be worth it at that price (I am assuming) that the investor has plans to develop it or sees that in the near future, the value of hardwares does not go further down or brand names increase values.

As for the $750K listing, I see that way out of any rational investors' mind to even invest in something that's not even create 0.05% return per year. (less than 1%) as for 2.5% return a year assuming its the best, still not a good investment.

Wow.. Imagine if I get hold of these generic names. If I run a business pertaining to the generic names, I can do wonders with the site. Agreed that it is a bit low priced for those names
