Why watch comedy when you can laugh while domaining?

[wo]

One of the unspoken benefits of domaining is the sheer amount of laughter it provides just seeing some of the unrealistic prices some domainers set for shi**y domain names.

I was doing some research to evaluate the price of a domain I've been assigned to sell, when I came across this: peekaboo gourmet .com asking price is $18,000. Seriously? I laughed for 5 minutes straight, I almost peed my pants. :D

So how does that strategy work for you ?

That remains to be seen, but my approach just might have gotten me the big break I needed. I spent 9 months without getting a single offer, and then came a XX,XXX sale (the Estibot/book value was not even $100 IIRC). Now it's time to invest in some X,XX names and go from there.

(I agree with the OP)

Good news! Youphoria.com is for sale! On so many levels, this domain name is nothing short of exquisite! An "empty vessel" domain [as is the case with "Yahoo", or "Plasma"] what YOU put inside the "jar" defines it. YOUPHORIA could be anything! Jewelry, Perfume, Clothing, etc. Clever. Memorable. Brandable.

Minimum Offer $245,000.00 USD

YouPhoria is a very nice brandable IMO. Very nice.

Divide that number by five and you have a fair asking price.

In all seriousness,

9 Years revenue is not a valid asking price, and you are dealing with end users. Typos / Typins go for 12 months to 2 years revenue.

:talk:




if the domain was parked and it made $2k a year, then asking 9 yrs revenue in return for selling, is reasonable.




if it is a website and the sale was for both the domain and the site, and the website made $2k in profits, then $18k would be a reasonable asking price.

i have sold quite a few domains that had earnings, which sold for more than 10 yrs. revenue.

there is risk on both sides of equation for seller and buyer alike, when buying or selling a property that produces revenue based on a multiple # of yrs.


the domain could earn more the next year and the years after, thus the seller "undersold" based on the calculations.

the domain could earn less the next year and the years after, thus the buyer "overpaid" based on expectations.


but, if you don't ask for what you want, then you'll never get it.



i remember i bought a domain off the forums for low $,$$$. the price was based on a yearly multiple according to what the domain was making then.

i then changed the keywords for the domain and have made over $15K in parking revenue since.


i have also been on the other end, where i bought a domain based on a multiple and the revenue went down.


so i do know the risks

In my opinion the funny thing is people taking the time to find hilarity in what someone prices a name at. Owners can price their products as they see fit & should be encouraged to do so.

i'd sure like to pick your premo's with traffic and revenue, for those multiples.


send me all the typo/type-in names you got that make $10 in "verified revenue per month", and i'll buy for $120 > $240
