domain Tris.com

I paid way more than I wanted to for this name but available premium 4-letters are slimming down so much I felt pressured to keep bidding. What do you think is a realistic end-buyer price?

I have no experience with 4L.
My guess is mid $x,xxx.

What do you think is a realistic end-buyer price?

I think what you paid is in the end-user value range already.

Making a profit is def possible, but it wont be easy.

When entering an auction, always set your price limit before you jump in.

And when the bidding hits that limit..........walk away.

There will always be another name right around the corner.

Nice name.

Good luck.

You are really lucky having this name. How much is it worth? My personal rule: it is worth the highest amount you cannot turn down. I have seen domains like that selling mid five figures. Think how many offers did the domain receive first: 1000? 4000? 12000? Well if you cannot turn down any of the predecent offers then I think you will be selling your domain for that.
In my personal point of view the domain is in the low five figures in the marketplace right now, but if you do not mind to wait for the right buyer I do not see any reason the domain sells for the mid five figures.

First congrates for a great domain name.

This is indeed a name for investment. The most important thing is what time frame are you looking for as an investment. If you remain invested say for 5-6 years then you will get more than double of your investments.

You know why your name is valuable. Just because of being a great brand name for a giant business house just like Tris communications, tris softwares etc. under the parent company TRIS.

I think this domain sold for end user price - more or less. It's not impossible to resell at a profit, but you'll have to be patient, and you have 5K tied up in that domain. It's not money you can easily move.
Unfortunately heavily contested domains tend to sell at a price that leaves little room for a profit. In domaining we need big markup because of the low liquidity of domains, and low turnover.

Personally, I think it could be worth 2K but I probably wouldn't bid this amount, because I don't see an immediate use for the domain (when buying a domain I always figure out if I could be the end user thus limiting the risk).
I would buy an LLL.com instead, or another domain. Brandables can be rewarding but are less liquid.

That's a real quality LLLL, though as above members mentioned - and as you already know - you've definitely paid up into the end user price zone for it.

However, whether it's the low end user or high end user price, will be determined by your smarts in finding decent potential end users. I think any reasonably established end user biz would pay in the $2.5 - 4K range. So it's on you whether to hang on to this and see if good LLLL like this go up considerably in value over the next couple years... or to find an ideal buyer right now.

Although Tris seems to be a vaguely common first name, and a vaguely common business name (careful, there is more than one active trademark for Tris, and a few more with Tris+word), I think the more valuable end users might be in 'tri s'; that is, breaking it up when you search google, so that it's tri-s, or triple s, three s, SSS, that kind of thing, because there seem to be a large number of companies/consortiums using 3 s's, triple s, tri s, for example the websites: tri-s.com, tri-s.be, tri-sEnvironmental.com, etc etc. These seem like much larger companies than those results you get when you search Tris as one word.

Good luck. Seems like many of these companies are happy with tri-s with that hyphen in there, but if you find the right company who'd prefer it without, it's possible for you to see a decent profit eventually. It's not a slam-dunk at the price you paid, but with some wise strategy you might profit nicely from it.

And kudos for having the nads to bid up there into end user zone for this one. Let's hope it pays off. I like the domain but I'd have babied out at $2K if I were bidding.

Where/when did you win this at auction?

Otherwise I agree with most of the sentiment here so far. Best of luck! It's brandable for sure.

Thanks for all that! I didn't realize there was a trademark out there. What a bummer, but it also might attract more attention from the holders. This is not illegal as the name can apply to any industry. Thanks for the tips on "tri-s," I may attempt to reach out to owners of these companies.

I've been noticing a lot of the good brandable 4-letter names are going for extremely high lately (like this one) and I was tired of letting them slip by me. I haven't seen a decent 4-letter sell for less than 5k on NameJet in a long time (since my last purchase), which tells me their demand is getting higher and higher. I wouldn't be surprised to see this name sell for over 20k if I hold it long enough.

It is really a great LLLL there is no doubt about it. I followed the auction and I have seen the price going crazy. Having paid that amount won't let you flip it for profit quickly ( or maybe yes??? ) but if you can keep 5K locked for a longer period I am quite confident the XX.XXX buyer will come to you...

Good Luck you ave a great name!

 

[bmugford]

It is a great domain that could easily sell for five figures over time, but IMO it is not very liquid at the auction cost. It went at or near end user pricing.

Nice domain, in Mexico there is a popular lottery with name Tris. I have a litle website that show statistics for lotto results in mexico and this domain seems related.

Im far to be expert but the range price could be mid $x,xxx

Would you like to sponsor me for your website?
I have an idea

Make a website dedicated to my bulging tricep muscles

 

[Doron Vermaat]

Great name. I had a proxy bid on it. I very seldom participate in the last minute of an auction because it's too easy to get carried away in a bidding war and pay way more than planned in the first place.

You paid a lot for it but the name could sell for 10 to 15k imo if you wait for the right enduser to come along. There's a ton of businesses named Tris.

 

[Domainerr]

Nice Domain name, its pronounceable and easy to remember..you can get over 5K for this domain name, best of luck!

 

[tradingdavid]

I'm thinking 9500 -11500 end user
