***Tube.coms?

[scarecrow]

are tube.coms selling well right now and are some of their prices justified?
i just had an idea about a tube name, but i dont wanna end up developing it....
any suggestions or ideas while buying tube names or advice to buy or not?

Must be developable!

I sold a "Tube" prefix domain some time ago for mid $X,xxx ... depending on the exact fit with the "Tube" suffix, I'd say the same range if it's poplular and, most importantly, applicable / developable, IMHO. :yell:
Caveat: There are LOTS of worthless and near worthless "Tube" suffixed domains right now, so one must be highly selective! :gl:

Just my two sense.

[competentdomains]

The closest I have is Tube-Preamp.com or TubeReceivers.com

 

[fuzzlepop]

I like the site, one good thing is I can share videos with friends & relatives.

That's the main purpose of the site.

Your opinion doesn't really weight much does it?

 

[bmugford]

They are selling well, but they are hugely overpriced.

Good Tube domains should be worth money. It is the mediocre ones that are overpriced.

FreePornTube.com - $35K. Perfect example.

I dont intend it to, just my opinion....

the web runs on recognizable suffixes and brandable related names. we can't all have video.com

 

[Joep]

I'll start a mailing next month for selling

dykestube{dt]com

 

[Timewarp]

I have a handful of tube names, any suggestions on where they are selling?
I was thinking ebay or maybe an adult webmaster forum for the adult ones.

Where isn't really the question its how. You can sell a name anywhere but with poor sales writing and lack of contacts. Its not going to get that end user price.

Just because you think the name is mediocre means nothing. Freeporntube.com is a dead simple name and brandable. 35k price tag is justifiable to the buyer that already has a business model ready for it.

i disagree

free porn is a monster search term

i believe freeporn.com sold for $3 million
with free porn tube.com you know what you're gonna get
i don't see it as a huge sales price tbh at $35k

 

[bmugford]

I would rather have PornKeyword.com for cheaper, or FreePornKeyword.com for much cheaper.

There is nothing $35K special about a domain just because it ends with "tube"
The domain didn't even show much traffic. It looks like it got about 2300 Hits/Month.

FreePorn is a 100% Match for the search "Free Porn" that explains that price. If you are going to expand it to three words though there are any number or prefixes or suffixes that could replace "Tube".
