domain WCBS.com Domain Name Appraisal

[jbinternet]

I have owned the WCBS.com domain name since 1995. The site has been in us since 1995 for my printing business. I got the domain name appraised from two providers and the two valuations were pretty far off.

What is a domain name like this worth? Any ideas

This domain has a PR of 3. Probably with a little work could easily get it higher. very few (if any) incoming links.

Hmmm, the name has got 2 premiumletters B and C.
The pagerank also should put up the value. LLLL.coms are populair..

mid to high xx imo...

If you wait a year the value will get higher.

CBS is a big name in news industry. WCBS has 3,100,000 google results. There so many potential companies that could use this domain. 12 year old domain and it seems to me that the site was published in 1997 and it has been active since. Your domain is worth a lot. I could only guess that this worth at least mid $x,xxx IMO

It depends very much.

If you would plan to sell it in the reseller market, it would go for $xxx (though I am sure you do not plan to sell it).

I checked acronymfinder, and it seems it is not an abbreviation of anything.
Google results are high, but that only shows that these letters are used.
There is that CBS that makes it valuable. If CBS as an end user would want it, there nobody can appraise it for you (W could stand for world). To an end user a domain is worth as much as he is willing to pay for it.

I think that the content behind the site is much more valuable, and you should sell it only if a very very good offer comes in from a motivated buyer.

Good luck with it,

Alex

The domain name is very relevant to CBS (the company).

KCBS is CBS in Los Angeles (the second largest media market).
WCBS is the New York affiliate (*the largest media market).

WCBS is the #1 radio station to in the USA
WCBS is CBS TV in New York.

This domain name has got to be worth something.

Good research on the letters, there's several companies out there that would probably be interested. At least low $XXXX, maybe more if you found the right end user.

Yes, definitely worth something ... for end users.
So if they contact you, you win. But I cannot appraise it, because the domain is worth for end users as much as they want to pay, and I think me or you cannot know this (except those from WCBS maybe).

I told you the price in the reseller market... but browsing more on google I found out more about WCBS, and it is worth more than I initially appraised it. But you have to wait till the "right company" approaches you for the domain.
You should not sell it on the market, instead wait with it.
