I probably should have mentioned this in my first post. In the past few years I've received maybe an average of 5 unsolicited offers per year. One of the unsolicited offers was for $3,000 and if I'm remembering correctly that was the highest offer received so far.

In case anyone doesn't see the significance of this name within the paintball industry - woodsball is to paintball probably as saltwater fishing is to fishing. Woodsball is a huge segment of the very large sport/hobby industry of paintball. Everyone who plays paintball knows the term woodsball.

Paintball is a $500 million dollar industry with somewhere in the area of 6 million players. Here's a study on the paintball industry from the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association:
THE WORLD OF PAINTBALL: A ‘BIG PICTURE’ PERSPECTIVE

I figured this additional information may help with any appraisals of the domain.

Thanks again to anyone who offers their appraisal opinions.

High XX , I used to play paintball and sure its original origion was woodsball but no one really calls it that anymore and its just painball now. Woodsball is just the old pickup games in the woods and it evolved to paintball. Not much you can do with it as its just not called that anymore. Now if you had painball , that would be something different. should have jumped on the $3K offer , that would have been awsimne for this name.

Maybe it depends on where you are from. I'm from southern New Jersey and everyone that I know who plays paintball knows and understands exactly what the term woodsball refers to. The term woodsball is used constantly around here - which is one of the reasons I jumped on the name when I saw it was still available a few years back.

When people say paintball they could be talking about woodsball or speedball. Paintball encompasses both types.

There are even entire lines of paintball gear specifically designed just for woodsball as well as companies that specialize in selling woodsball merchandise. The same goes for speedball. As the saying goes, it's best to use the right tools for the job.

I am also in NJ and used to play in Staten Island down in the woods by the tanks ,it still was called paintball , my brother played all over NJ and he barley knew the term when I just called him. I understand what your saying but its just such a small market for that word considering it mainstream known as Paintball. Half those google searches are for the word with Paintball (its a small sgment of the paintball industry ) just such a hrad word to try to get any interest in , no re-seller would be interested so you only market would be the small enduser who probally would have no interest in buying a domain name for big bucks But hey you might find that one buyer who might give you Mid XXX for it so good luck!

In New Zealand its known as Bush Ball .

I think you should hold it for a while. I think if you meet an end user, it would be even at mid xxxx range
