domain VacationsSpecial.COM - Need some expert view on this

[Simple_domains]

Hi!

I am somewhat new to domain reselling. I registered a 1,800USD appraised by EstiBot domain name, Vacations Special.com

Was wondering how you guys would evaluate or actually pay for this domain. I have just sold it for 16.50 USD on Ebay and wanted to know if I should hold on to good domains like this and try other ways of selling it, or if I did a quick and good "flip" for a newly registered domain?

Thank you for your time everyone!

Anyone care to give me some insight on this, I want to know if I did a first good sale (done a few "not good" ones starting up) or if I might have gotten more had I tried selling it to people in this business?

I dont see any value in this name, it doesnt make sense to me.

VacationSpecials.com would have made more sense

Im surprised you got $16.50 for it.

Good luck

Yes gilescoley, if you had VacationSpecials.com, it would have make sense... But $16.50 is in a way good deal for VacationsSpecial.com

Well if you sold it you should honor your sale. The double "S" kills it.

I don't think it is about the double "S" as much as a plural word in an odd place. It makes the entire domain awkward sounding.

I agree on the double S together, if it was VacationSpecial.com I would give low X,XXX

Thank you very everyone, I guess I made a good sale for a poor domain name hehe . Thanks for your insight it really helps me get a hold of the must and must no do.

One thing I would mention is do not be too hung up on estibot appraisals, while they can make it much easier to figure out if a domain is worth considering the real focus of your attention should be the traffic and search stats...if no one can be bothered looking for you it might be a good idea to move on :p

As you will see in the "total searches" field only 30 people a month in the world search for this exact term, as opposed to the 240 exact who search for SpecialVacations which though very close to your valuation with $2100 would've been a much better buy

Yes, I think you got very lucky with your sale, especially as it wasn't developed

Very interesting, thanks for the info / tip. Starting to use some tools which give a better idea based on search as you mentionned. Will try to get more valuable names this way, but they are not the easiest one to get either

Thanks again, your comment is appreciated.
