domain vlogs.ws -

[blogfacer]

Basically looking for two different ballpark selling prices if I was going to short sell the domain vlogs.ws on Sedo or if I decide to be stubborn and leave it in the market for a while. What would be a decent short sell price or decent asking price ?

Any advice would be helpful... Thanks

Can you just point out to me why this domain is worth anything? Im not sure a llll.ws has any value at all, am i missing something?

 

[blogfacer]

well... to be " fair " blogs.ws has sold for $1,600 usd. I am going to try to price point the domain from $299 to $799 for a short sell. A buyer interested in developing a vlog portal would be somewhat inclined to pay a small fee for it.

If country music has a market ( yuck ! ) and if Angelina Jolie married Billy Bob Thorton ( both topics apparently had " qualified " buyers ) then almost anything is pragmatically feasible.

lol Whats a vlog portal??

The name is worth $0 IMO, you wont be able to sell this name to anyone??

Good luck

vlog means video blog. Common one worded term. I'm not offended by your honest opinion... im humbled by it. Not exactly trying to fetch a record breaker domain sell... just a base hit that would lead to an RBI (extra funds that would pay for my other webprojects being developed).

I have nothing against .ws, not sure about this one mind you, the whole vlog thing seemed to have come and gone or at least I dont hear this term very often these days. You cant compare this term to Blogs.ws...

 

[blogfacer]

sure I can... blogs.ws sold for $1,600. A respected 30 percent of that for vlogs.ws isn't out of the question. Ummm... people actually " vlog " on youtube... that will never change any.

 

[maxeaus]

OK, so it dose actually mean something, but unless vlogging becomes huge in Western Samoa i see limited appeal. I'm thinking it is in the $xx range at best.

Right... and internet.tv would only work in the islands of Tuvalu.... gotcha

vlogs.com is worth $27,000 easily. Listing vlogs.ws for 1/30 th the price isn't exactly " sitting under the bridge and smoking crack " fantasyland here.

And I know estibot isn't exactly an exact religion either. I had a friend sell a .TV domain for 5k when estibot only valued it to be USD 2,700 instead. I guess some universe in a different dimension imploded because the actual selling price begged to differ.

nevermind... I should have known better... it doesn't matter what domain it is... I will always get a typical response like " reg fee " or " $xx amount only ". I will have better luck talking to a tree.

@blogfacer - LOL. I like your 'rational' tolerant reply style. (and you're from Dallas!) :tu:

Basically you're trying to peddle a .ws, and the rationality of it's worth based on previous .ws sales, is too tough to call. .ws just sucks. Sure someone 'might' buy it for your value, or who knows - maybe even more! (not probable though) I'd say just sell it for what you can, (read - 'get rid of it'), and don't go off to the 'Netherlands' with alt extensions, especially .ws, just because 'it's a great name, and it's open!'. Stay with the basic ones, and cctlds ('if' you know that market).

well to be honest... short selling a few of my misc bargain domains would help with the development of my main key points of interest... admixers.com, memosheet.com and the putasockinit.com (microblogger).

Believe me... its a lot easier to sell off a domain or two at shortsell prices than it is to get any angel investors or venture capitalists :p

and even twitter without its vc funding would be nothing more than a geocities page. I would rather chose domainer rejection than vc rejection ( because I went with the route in life of pre-jection... if I preject the differences of opinion of the rejectors... any collateral damage would be impotent at best ).

oh... and by collateral damage... I mean me believing what everybody thinks. Actually... its impossible for the whole world to believe word for word other people's ideas, values, dreams or goals. There will always be a difference of opinion. I don't think that in the history of mankind that has ever failed to be the case.

There are too many good keywords available in .WS for "vlogs" to have any value.

nah... i sold virus.ws many years ago for $550... and that wasn't even at an auction. Nice try though :p

But I am glad I have domainer rejection to depend upon vs the alternative ( venture capitalist rejection ). Wouldn't be interested in superficial termsheets anyway. Rejection from yall is sorta like playing in the sandbox

 

[chrysalis55]

We all have "I sold...I did " stories.....

Price it at the $299 level like you originally thought at Sedo and let us all know how it goes over the next fee weeks.

 

[blogfacer]

I'll see how many differences of opinion there are in the marketplace. Thanks chrysalis55 (btw... you were a tad bit harsh on another domainer's listing... telling them teenz.us is worth notta... well thats not true... it got them to register the domain didn't it ? LOL )

I look forward to seeing your pricing of that domain name.

 

[bmugford]

Sorry but the term "vlogs" is not even in the same league as "Virus".

Since you are such an expert why even ask for an appraisal?

[blogfacer]

who said I was an expert ? lol Yes.. vlogs.ws is in the same league as virus.ws... if not than its at least slightly above it. If developed as an active social community site it would maintain a lot more returning healthy traffic than a site called " virus ". But I respect your opinion. Maybe I can learn a little from it and apply it to something else.


Quick scenario of word of mouth advertising comparison...

Hey everybody... check out this site ... virus.ws

- No thanks... have enough of that on my computer as it stands.


Hey everybody... check out this entry from vlogs.ws

- Maybe... I'll check it out in a bit if I have some time

According to Adwords:

Blogs 550,000 exact searches a month
Virus 800,000+ exact searches a month
Vlogs 5,400 exact searches a month

I didn't know what it was until this thread but would be great if you got the price you were looking for. My humble opinion is based on the numbers, reseller price would probably be low to mid $$. Definitely one to find an end user for

Good luck!

 

[bmugford]

Virus is a keyword with 823,000 exact searches a month on Google. It also has 600+ PPC Sponsors.

Vlogs has 5,400 exact searches and 5 PPC Sponsors.

As I said there is no comparison. Plus .WS sucks in general. Who is going to develop a site on a mediocre .WS? Seriously.
