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

in other words... any domain is WORTHLESS without a scalable business plan attached to it that's been tried and tested.

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

Unless of course the domain(s) in question are pitched to a group of obsessive compulsive bidders... then I would say the bid would have to go up $250,000 a piece lol

no domainer in their right mind sells a domain under $200. Most buyers know this. I

You have a lot to learn, that much is obvious from your response.

[globegenius]

Hmm well it blows me away if some one thinks their domain is worth thousands then why not pay for an expert or certified appraisal? You will get alot of different answers here as its a free appraisal and some members just like to have fun.

 

[blogfacer]

Sorry if my response seemed a little less than professional, but now you know what it feels to have an investment undervalued on a sub-par level.

Out of those, I think drez.com would have plenty developmental potential (but regardless, a business plan would still have to be fine-tuned for even that to have value in the market place).

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

and I never said vlogs.ws is actually worth thousands. A low to mid 3 figure some would be respectable for that ( fyi... try searching for any domain sale on the dnjournal and you would hardly see any domain to be shown at under a 700 dollar amount... those kinda of sales figures are embarrassing... to the seller and media. To quote a value of 1/8 th of even that is pretty much salt on an open wound ).

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

btw... how much to you think Informatyka.pl could go for ?

 

[Tippy]

lol maybe Im missing something but Im not embarrassed to say I sold a $8 hand reg name for $600 bucks.

Some people just dont like .ws just as some people dont like .tv .cc etc... its easy to spot these people and it lessens the blow. I havnt had too many great .ws sales recently but a few years back I sold 3 for a 2.4k profit, mind you they were very strong keywords/words.

You could possibly get low $XXX for the name but obviously not here.

Good luck with it.

 

[blogfacer]

Thanks tippy. Well I'm really not trying to sell this domain to other domainers (especially on here ) because of an obvious reason... They will ALWAYS bid lower than regular buyers - They have their hands full of renewal fees unlike a good marketshare of regular buyers at domain auctions (they don't have that problem and can afford to live a little).

To be honest... I'm not super dooper crazy of the .ws extension as well... but I do know there is a market for them (mostly if they are short and easy enough to remember). I would rather develop a site called vlogfire.com than vlogs.ws ( but thats just me LOL ).

 

[daj]

The term "vlog" never caught on within the blogosphere. If someone did video blogs, they would most likely point their audience to check it out at youtube. Most of the time only really strong terms sell for good money with the vanity extensions. Those that get 500k+ exact searches, and have high PPC.

 

[blogfacer]

of course " vlog " never caught on with the " blogosphere ". It's not the same thing. Comparing vlogs to blogs is like comparing Koreans to Chinese people. They are in a separate " sphere " of their own identity. On a separate note, blogs never caught on with the " forumsphere " for the same reason.

And nobody has a blog on youtube. They are vlogs. nuff said : )

ppc is also on the way out imho. In-house independent propitiatory based ads are more of the goals of major site holders.

wow... look at me... its like I'm turning into George Costanza from Seinfeld lol

 

[maxeaus]

OK, thanks for the free appraisal of some of my domains, BUT it was you who wanted the appraisal if I'm not mistaken. Im under no illusion of the quality of my domains in my sig, im not a professional "hard core" domainer and have no desire to be one.

I stand by my appraisal on this one, and 3 other people also agreed with this price range, in the $XX range if I'm not mistaken.

We all know you "could" sell this domain for several thousand dollars, "if" somebody wanted it bad enough, but as it stands, right here, right now, if you wanted to sell the domain today you would get $XX (we think).

.ws is not a fantastic extension IMO, i don't care if there is a company (which there is) trying to promote this as Dot Web Site, i see through that BS, and so do 99.9% of buyer and sellers, and even comparing .ws to .tv makes .tv look good, and if you visit their threads things aren't so rosy either.

If you want top price i suggest you list it on ebay where someone may "buy the dream".

All you get here is a free appraisal.

 

[blogfacer]

"comparing .ws to .tv makes .tv look good "

- What's wrong with .TV ( besides its a sinking island and anal retentive domainers refuse to see it as dot television ) ?

---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

and I already paid for a $39 dollar homepage listing so I would have to have pretty low self-esteem to sell it for low XX amount ( even below what I paid to list it... now why would I chose to be in the red as a goal ? )

---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------

It's all perspective. GDI doesn't care if people are against their .ws extention and the people that dislike the .ws extention don't care much for GDI. But I don't blame GDI... I am starting a company of my own ( who wants to work for folks that bully them around with the lowest of the low payscale ? Not me).

---------- Post added at 07:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 AM ----------

Just out of curiosity maxeaus... how do you know " 99.9% of buyer and sellers " see through GMI's BS mission statement ? How do you go abouts and " articulately " audit that kind of percentage ? How do you know for sure that the real number isn't closer to around "82.4 % " ? If that be the case... a market reach potential of 17.5 % qualified targeted buyer audience isn't going to be something I would just throw away all out of the namesake of presumption. The fact is... no one knows the full percentage of .ws savy web users. They do exist but of course it isn't as big as a number as .com, .net or even .de

btw... actually GUFU.com hast the most potential... easy to pronounce with little marketed training. Maybe could be turned into a search like the next Bing or an Umbrella company could buy it ( Great User Friendly Umbrellas ? ).

---------- Post added at 07:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

You should start your own Umbrella Corporation.... GUFU it is ! : )

---------- Post added at 07:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 AM ----------

but of course people that sell " ponchos " are going to hate your product and quite literally sling mud @ your direction via diatribe.

( hmmm... I smell a strong parable tinted into this... Umbrella sellers, poncho sellers = GTLD sellers, ccTLD sellers ).

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

But I really am liking the GUFU idea. If I wasn't already too commited with developing Admixers... I could EASILY pitch this ! :p

---------- Post added at 08:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 AM ----------

- You could make it where people could plug in and charge their iphones and blackberries into the end handle of them. That and have built in ashtrays and cigarette lighters for when it quits raining and people want to sit down and celebrate in the dry weather. Oh... and have it where when it folds back down... it could turn into a " mousepad " with a usb connection with 8 gigs flash memory. NOW that would be one heck of an invention !!! : )

 

[maxeaus]

LOL, OK, OK, i give in, your domain is fantastic, i see a huge future in .ws, VLOGS is simply awesome and i can see this domain, developed, over taking YouTube for popularity in it's first week.

It must be worth $5000 at least, right now.

When developed you can retire, no doubt about it, million dollar sale easy.

Seriously.....................WAKE UP!

 

[blogfacer]

nah... I wouldn't want to compete against youtube... no vc would even look at the termsheet lol

Please go start the GUFU company... don't sell the domain... I think GUFU umbrellas would be the next big thing like segways

---------- Post added at 08:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 AM ----------

nah... I don't want to sell it for a million dollars anyway... just not for 2x amount when its worth three to four hundred bucks easily at an auction ( people pay retail at auctions btw... its no secret ).

Me competing against youtube... lol now that is a good one. : )

---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

Everybody in favor of Maxeaus starting the GUFU umbrella company... raise their hand and say " I "


: )

 

[bmugford]

I am not sure what the deal is with you ragging on GUFU.com

It is in another league than Vlogs.ws. It is a highly brandable and easily pronounceable CVCV and would sell in the $X,XXX on any auction site.

blogfacer, what has started out as a 'spirited defense' of your name, has now turned into a sarcastic deriding of the very advice you sought here. If you think your name is great and will bring you big bucks, great. But your maturity, and domaining level is showing with your constant snide chippings to those that don't say what you want to hear. Bottom line, don't like the 'reality' responses..., don't ask for them here.

 

[blogfacer]

Brad AND Hawkeye... I am not ragging on gufu.com... I said I liked the idea of it ( I like the idea of GUFU Umbrellas - just don't have a few grand myself to buy it. That could change after a few domain sales so who knows).

Just giving a very good pitch of what a developer could use it for... rather it collecting dust on a shelf. Domains without direction are like a compass without a needle. Maybe he didn't know of any good acronyms at the time that would be usable for a marketable edge.

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

oh great... now I have EXTRA rejection with the GUFU umbrella idea... I don't care if you like it or not... if I had money to buy that domain I would and pitch the idea to capital lenders... wouldn't give a flying FLIG if you (or anybody else for that matter ) thought that would be a good idea or not.

Irony... I wouldn't have known about the gufu domain unless I posted an appraisal advise myself and saw that advertised in a signature. Screw you if you don't think I am being sincere. I can lead you to water but I can't make you drink it. Just drown to death then if that's your choice. I can't stop you.

and FYI... jumping the gun and " assuming " I was being sarcastic without qualifying first is the equivalent of crossing the road without looking both ways.

I decided to follow your excellent advice, :bingo:

lol I am somewhat happy but sad that I came in second to none because of lack currency efficiency. Maybe I can keep the company a secret and invest right before it goes public :p

You have to admit... having a multi-port umbrella with usb support does sound kinda catchy.... especially if it could actually fold into a small mousepad where people can put into their netbook / notebook cases.

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

oh yeah... another good thing would be to have a smal led flash light that plugs into the usb port of the umbrella... that potentially could save a few folks lives ( imagine walking in the hard poring rain at night and not being able to see very well... one could easily get hit by a car or something )

GUFU could be wi-fi's rebuttle to g3 :P
