Valuation Formula?

[airwav]

If a .com sells for $5000 and you own the .net of that name, how much is the .net worth? What if it is .org, .info, .biz and .us. Also what if that name is a two word name and your name has a hypen? :gl:

If this has been asked before, can someone refer me to the thread?

Thanks for you help!

IMHO, the selling price of a .com has very little impact on the valuation of the .net or any other extension.

I wish it did - I have incentiveprograms.net and incentiveprograms.com sold for $20k in April of this year

Did you try to market it to the buyer of the .com :?

Eh, i'm lazy :P I should get around to that - some day

As a general rule I'd say a .com sale has almost no bearing on the sale of a .net. I've sold .coms for low $xx,xxx and the corresponding .nets have gone for regfee.

Do you sale them to the same buyer? I often value a dot net as 1/5 of its dot com name!

$20k for a domain name that long? The buyers must've been out of their mind - iPrograms would've made more sense

If I receive an offer for a .com and I own another extension of the same, I will offer it as an incentive to get the price I target.

In most cases I sold the .com and the buyer registered the available .net. I generally only register a .net for a name where I intend to develop both the .com and .net sites. In fact I usually prefer to leave .nets and hyphenated versions of my .coms available. This way someone can register and develop them. When they do I get a lot of their traffic and email because most people try the .com name before .net. This drives the value of the .com up even more.

There are still a few people out there who feel the need to have the .net for every .com they own but I think most people realise this whole “must have” thing was a marketing scam designed to sell registrations. Still, if you can find someone who still believes that someone will actually type in a .net rather than the .com they are probably crazy enough to pay 1/5 of what the .com is worth

Oh yes, smart ideas! Just leave the .net and .org there and someone will develop it! This will give the same .com more traffic! Courenttly .com is still the habit for most internet surfers!
