Value of Domain Hacks

[xman]

Here's my question..what is the value of domain hack? I've seen some good domain hack and i was wondering about the value of it. I myself own one and i'm not sure whether or not i should get more. I haven't seen any sale of domain hack. Why do we register domain hack? Is it because the domain looks cool or because there's a potential end user who's willing to buy such domain?

Nice sales flow and nice returns .

DigitalCamer.as

Hi Hack People

I don't know the first thing about a Hack but I do happen to own a few. One of your fellow Hacks recently saved me from dropping DigitalCamer.as. I have just now gotten it back on Sedo with a high, Make Offer price.

I'd really appreciate some advice on handling DigitalCamer.as. Is Sedo the place to be? As far as I'm concerned they're not worth a rat's butt. I've had all I can take of them and am pulling 300 names as soon as I get a chance. BUT, considering that DigitalCamer.as is a much higher quality name than the majority of my junk, maybe they're the place to be (??).

And in five years I've never had any luck featuring a listing. Should I make this an exception or just be patient?

I'm a complete Newby with a hack so anything at all that you would care to share would be much appreciated.

As the owner as the exact same name as yours without the "Digital" in front, I'm not keen on 2 word hacks at all. Cameras are a huge industry, so there may be potential on a buyer down the track, but I don't see it as being a big sale & the $50/year renewal fees will eat up pretty quickly. For me, I wouldn't sell my version for less than 5 figures.

As for the other names, they are really shocking & you really should drop them/sell them off.

Thanks. I'll keep you posted.

Sorry to ask a vaque question lads and lasses, but I am not too sure where else to post. :wave:

Can anyone tell me how much a one letter domain hack would be worth, if it spells out someones name.

To give an example of the kind of domain,, a name like zoe might be applicable.

So the domain hack would be z.oe. (as far as I know this is not possible, as .oe domains do not exist)

I would be grateful to know if a domain like this would be a good investment. (however, the problem would be renewal fees, which could be quite high. I have to be vaque because I do not want to give too much away)

This is a genuine question as I do have a domain in mind that I am looking at.

Thank you all for any replies.

BJ :hearts:

What you describe is not an investment but gambling.
Domains should be bought because they have built-in value, at least in your eyes. Not just because there is a very remote possibility that somebody might want to buy it.

 

[blackjack21]

Ok I will re phrase my question.

Would it be a good gamble?

 

[Ultratude]

*.im? It is too expensive for me.

 

[blackjack21]

I can't tell you the extension, but I can say the star * bit is right

Only you can answer the question. It depends on how much you can afford to lose.

(however, the problem would be renewal fees, which could be quite high. I have to be vaque because I do not want to give too much away)

As you pointed out, that is the problem if that's the case & it the main thing that kills the value of the name too. Roughly how much are the renewals?

Personally, I wouldn't buy hacks just to make a person's name, but if it's a 1 character one & cheap renewals, then it would be ok. Considering that it's sitting out there available, chances are it's not worth taking.

Sorry Guys if I can't give you the exact details, but it is to protect the current owner who I am in talks with at the moment.

I can tell you the renewal is over the hundreds of dollars and that the name is a reasonable first name.

Sorry to be vaque, but it wouldn't be fair to both parties. Me being one of them.

I can tell you html that the renewal fee is the thing that is putting me off with this domain name and the fact that I havn't got any plans for how to monetize it.

I has thought of adverting it in the business section of the Times, FT etc for entrepreneur set ups etc.

This is my only idea for this domain name, however, I do think the name would catch on if it was marketed.

My thinking was, if people are prepared to pay $100000 for a good catchy name, would they be prepared to pay say $15000 for a very catchy short name with a high renewal in the hundreds of dollars.

Thanks to all for your replies

That alone would make me not go with the name. Max I would go with is a $50/year renewal, but it's up to you in the end of the day.

I got courie.rs in my hack list

 

[blackjack21]

I decided to register www.t.im

with a friend of mine ( this was not our first choice, but we couldn't afford the one we wanted)

Do you think this could make a good social media website?

I think it is quite catchy and thought maybe a travel social website might be the way to go.

Has anyone else any ideas for a social media website.

I would appreciate as much feedback as possible.

Thanks
