What should I do?

[TUFKATH]

I have this pretty good domain (JetRates.com) that was appraised at low-mid XXX undeveloped and XXXX-XX,XXX developed (with patience of course). I really just wanna get it off my hands. I'd let it go for around $250 which I think is fair and other people agree with me. I've had pretty much NO interest though! Not one offer or inquiry! I would develope it if I could... but I can't. And I don't have 500 bucks to pay someone to do that for me. I've got til next November to sell it so it's not that I'm worrying... it's just that I really wanna get it off my hands so I can move on to some other things.

Should I just get rid of it for as cheap as possible? I'm guessing even if I was posting it for sale for $100 then I would get no replies even then! What isn't appealing about this domain? If I had the money and skills I would jump at an oppertunity like this.

Just tryin' to get an idea about what I should do. Thanks.

One of the things I have had to learn in this business is to develop patience. If you have the name until next November, presumably you have only just recently got it. While it is possible to flip a name in just a few short weeks, this is something I have only rarely done to an end user.

The name is competing with millions of others for a buyer and this will usually not happen overnight, IMHO.

I have sold numerous names this year to end users that I have held for 1, 2, 3 years but have turned annual reg fee into low - mid $xxx. Having a "for sale" page has definitely helped me encourage potential buyers of names to email me expressing their interest. However it is a numbers game - if you get a few enquiries, you have a small chance of a sale; if you get lots of enquiries you have a larger chance of a sale; if you get lots of enquiries consistently you will get the sales.

What would be on the page?

A rough visual representation of an idea that can be commercialized. Selling a dream is easier, than selling a domain name.
