discuss WeSellUsedCars.com for $10k. What's wrong?

[abstractdomainer]

I just saw this Sedo sale on Namebio. WeSellUsedCars.com sold for $10,000. This is a 4 word domain name that sold for $10,000.

What is the logic behind such a hefty price? Who buys such domains?

 

[Mohammed Azheruddin]

Yeh, you are correct. There are other tons of domains selling daily with high prices . I am sure they have plans before buying.

 

[BrandCollectors.com]

probably fake. I do not trust Sedo "sales".

btw checkout Mike Manns $xxxxx sales for reg fee domains
most of them unused or under privacy.

 

[BrandEntrance.com]

I have carautotrade//com
carmattress//com

Sounds like a great market.

still baffles me most

 

[cooljub]

Decent name I reckon.

 

[dirk]

I like the domain. 10K, not sure but definitely something you could build a great brand around.

 

[Samer]

Decent name I reckon.

I disagree

UsedCars
SellUsedCars
WeSellUsedCars

3 different ways, at minimum. Overpaid by 9k+

Criticism is healthy but I do trust Sedo sales. They are an established name. End users don't necessarily think "number of characters" like a domainer would. "We sell used cars" is memorable. Now if the owner of WSUC.com was a smart reseller he would immediately contact the new end user and offer his name for a good price along with the smart rationale.

As I like to say, we live in a smartphone world and the easier to type the less barrier for visitors to access. Further hailing the .COM king is the easy access .COM button on most phones turning 4 keystrokes into 1.

I agree with a lot but don't think wsuc is better than wesellusedcars. Wsuc has no branding value whatsoever. Wesellusedcars is golden given the right marketing.

I think that GoDaddy is growing its already vast empire. Unless I reason to think otherwise, Godaddy wants to be in good tune with domainers as GD knows how much $$$$ they get from us.

On another note, I am trying Godaddy Brokerage service for a name I personally want for my business. I could try to contact the current owner, but I simply don't want to so I'll let Godaddy do the dirty work. Plus I'm testing out their service.

For clarity, I mean that the new owner should own WSUC in addition to their 10k acquisition of WeSellUsedCars. I actually do like their new domain. I have heard commission numbers from how much car salesmen make and its a pretty nice number.

As a domainer, I agree. But the real question is, is it worth the money for them? I highly doubt it. People are not gonna type in an abbreviation, or search for it. Domain length doesn't matter that much as your browser will remember what you typed in before and autofill your search.

Abbreviations are faceless, impersonal. Something you want to avoid if you're running an independent, privately owned, business.

fyi
i agreed with govalue

 

[BrandCollectors.com]

I think webuyusedcars is more actually. if u understand the car market

 

[stargoldsilver]

Probably if I needed a banner, I would pick the name people know me by. Not just any name. Similarly, I repeat, as for my future startup (planning), I would pick up a name that suits my taste (and pay a bomb for it, burning my investor's funds, assuming I get investors XD) not just some crazy trends, it maybe way too long but I need it to appeal to my niche, and people in the network.

Again:Brand is an identity, you can't swap it for another. You can't rebrand WeSellUsedCars assuming it already is an established business id as SellUsedCars or, UsedCars if you are too particular about your brand image. Imagine clients referring to you as WeSellUsedCars, would be easier for them to type in the same, more memorable. Guess, it's simple logic.

But you may however buy UsedCars.com or, wsuc.com and redirect it to the former for shortlinking and not as main page.

Lol @DomainVP, click OP "disagree" by mistake?

This is the reason.
That domain has an AMAZING baklinks profile.
Links from rollingstone.com wired.com hightimes.com and TONS of high quality niche related links.
Plus a DA of 34.
This domain is a monster and can easily rank in an ultra competitive niche like cannabis.
An impossible niche to rank only with "good names" / EMD.
In 2020 there are other factors that make a domain valuable.
This domain is an example.
And to be honest, recently, I've seen a lot.
