discuss What's your best domain worth?

[Arpit131]

Hi guys...

Let's play a small game. There are 3 questions each of us answer:

1) What is your best domain?
2) How much do you think it is worth?
3) Why do you think it would fetch you that amount?

The idea here is to remove the biases that we all have towards the domain name that we own.
I have been overly optimistic about many of the domain names that I owned, and that gives a false picture when we approach an end user or an end user approaches us. Ultimately, we end up losing a sale which could have fetched up, say mid xxx to low xxxx or maybe more.

So yeah, lets go ahead! Be a sport! Participate! And let's learn together!

Your off on this one alittle man.

How many new companies do you see with “i” names any more? It is dated and even existing co’s are probably wondering whether to change names.

 

[slader23]

And how many of them made offers? Not a great name.

I really dislike it when the whole premise of a thread is derailed with illogical negativity.

The reality is most people don't agree with you, however, if you feel the need to project your dislike of my domain and others in this thread...do it in the correct sub-forum i.e appraisal section. Make an appraisal thread for names you dislike and ask NP members what they think.

I think that's more appropriate than interjecting with off base comments on other peoples names just so you can feel good about yourself don't you think ?

canDNA.com $988

I think that with ancestry searches, forensics, genetic health tests, genetic editing treatments, genetic agriculture products etc. that genetics and DNA are high value areas.

I looked at (and own a few other) DNA/CRISPR related names but this is my favourite because it is short enough and pronounceable and memorable so could be used as a brandable, but it also works perfectly as a memorable reference site that answers a series of questions "Can DNA ...." I really liked the speakable candna but also memorable word + acronym CanDNA structure of the domain name.

I think comparable sales also support a price above my asking for example I would argue that can is better than got and fit from the following comparator sales: netdna ($4000), gotdna ($2088), fitdna ($1800).

When doing an analysis prior to acquisition I also look at the words separately, and I liked what I saw re 'can'. Domain names starting with ‘can’ have sold 1161 times for an average price of $4467 (NameBio data). Note some of these are not genuinely can + something but rather words that start with can. Of course being from Canada, I also see possible application as an abbreviation for that.

Why not ask more? I considered seeing if a brandable market would list it (have not tried) but saw if I did that I would be eliminating the second set of applications (use in information/reference site), and while the sales price would be at least 2 to 3 times higher, I suspect the probability of sale would go down. I am hoping by keeping it three figures I find an end user quickly.

Thanks for the great thread @Arpit131 and I hope that many respondents will give us a fairly complete answer to (3) as I think that can help us all in appraising and promoting domain names.

Bad sign when it needs 6 paragraphs to explain the name, looks like a typo of canada.com to me. The name should be super obvious.

bitcoinforex.org-$40000-60000
-
bitcoincash.org-$48888-2017
bitcoinsv.com-$50000-2018
bitforex.com$65000-2018

That bitcoin boom is over, that peaked 18 months ago and is going down and down. Would need to drop prices into 3 figs to have a chance of moving these, even then it won't be easy.

Holding.Company | worth more than + $x,xxx,xxx to $xx,xxx,xxx .

Now theres a great name. Nice pickup.

Not a good name

So many potential end users, do a google search for Smart Clock

Why would any of them buy smartcock.com? They aren't going to names the product that. It would be Google Clock or something like that.

Good name 20 years ago, good name today, good name 20 years from now

No, not for tech terms, they date. The "internet" part is not needed and sounds like something from the 1997-2007 era.

Did you read the point of the thread "2) How much do you think it is worth?" Seems it it is only off base when you don't like the viewpoint.

Why wouldn't someone want to use Smart Clock as their brand? And I think you got the wrong name there LOL

Received high $xxxx offer on iWeather just last week but I guess it is "outdated"

You didn't read the OP correctly. The domain owner is meant to answer those 3 questions. This isn't an appraisal thread. Which is why I've directed you to post such comments in the correct sub-forum i.e appraisals. Open a thread there and ask other NP members what they think about names you don't like.


As per your other statements.....actually...Lenovo has explicitly called it's product "Smart Clock"...not Lenovo Clock....and they are in fact also working with Google, who have their own voice assisted clock thats part of the Google home hub.

It's even come to the attention of a veteran domainer who tweeted to them----->https://twitter.com/dinvesting/status/1082722288389312513?s=12


So yes, you are being totally off base .

DIGITALEXCHANGE // COM
Low 6 Figs Atleast
CoinExchange is in market with startng price of 3 Million USD
GoldExchange sold in 50k+
I feel DigitalExchange covering all Digital Currencies + Digital Media + Digital Ads & Alot more coming in digital space...

GoldExchange is very good. It seems to me people do not understand the size of the global gold market though. To compare crypto is apples to oranges, but for some real perspective: gold averages about 130 billion USD trading per day. All crypto combined don't come close to the size and scope of gold markets.

I actually thought GoldExchange sold too low. Absolute killer name. Massive vertical potential.

Umm, it says “Lenovo Smart Clock” right there in your pic. Nowhere does this company call it “Smart Clock”. Company do not name products with a generic term much like there is no “smart phone” or “smart glasses”. They is why this name still sits for sale and likely always will.

You just made that up didn’t you?

Great name. Probably the best I've seen on NP for a long time.

Even when the obvious is in your face you deny it and try to convince yourself otherwise. Lenovo is calling the product the Lenovo Smart Clock, Just like they call their flagship laptop the Lenovo ThinkPad, Brand+Product Name. Where does ThinkPad.com resolve? You should check.

Irregardless of that, it's a generic product domain. They don't even have to brand with the name with it for it to be useful to them.

what is your problem ? nobody name this thread "critic people's domain name" in the first place" You came from nowhere and start talking off topic and derailing the entire purpose of the thread.

the mods should clean up this mess. it is irritating.

Mid to high $x,xxx, according to BrandBucket suggested price.

MediDrone dotorg - $XXXXX
We can dream right?

But I do like this domain as I can see drones being utilised quite heavily in the future to bring blood/defibs/drugs/online doctors etc to situations/disasters where they are required.

Contender #2 for me would be HQHerb dotcom. Value? Not much right now, but I would love to start a company that sells only high quality marijuana.

Wow! What an incredible domain name! Useful in so many types of branding: agriculture, educational, investments, personal development, business consulting, etc. not to mention all the acronym possibilities. This could be a yearly chart topper in my opinion.

Congrats.
