.info Value of one word .biz and .info names

[longroad]

What sort of value is placed on one word .info and .biz domains?

Talking general dictionary words, not mortgage.biz or anything high end like that.

 

[Jeff]

Tough to say without knowing the exact domain name(s), IMHO ... but generally the .INFO would have more perceived value than the .BIZ, and both would be on the second tier of domain name extensions, again generally speaking, when compared with the .COM. :gl: :imho:

Perhaps $Xxx - $X,xxx, (very much) depending on the specific one dictionary word?

I'll post a couple of examples in the appraisals forum

Okie.

I agree with Jeff - characteristic for these extensions is that really strong keywords may reach low-mid $XX,XXX but a bit weaker commercial usability drops value of many nice dictionary domains almost to nothing. According to aftermarket sales .info is more valuable than .biz.

If you're talking about dictionary words that don't really suit the extention & doesn't have much if any development potential, then you'll probably get around reg fee only. There are still plenty of .com uncommon dictionary words left, but they are not even worth reg fee.

I've had a lot of single dictionary word .biz and several single word .info which I couldn't even sell for regfee Mostly I never renewed and let them drop. Covered my losses with .com sales.

How do you sell without auction?. Is there a German Domain Forum or for other countries. I rather sell in forums its much faster although many are resellers.

I'd say that it depends on the tense and whether it's a noun, verb, adverb, adjective etc.

There's a lot of one word .info domains that are adverbs (repeatedly.info for a random example) that have little to no value. A common noun or verb or adjective on the other hand (travel.info, jogging.info, etc.) will have quite a bit of value and could even go for five or six figures.

I also sold HYIP(dot)biz for $600 last month.
