Words.com 35k @ Sedo

[Keynes]

This is a great pickup for a developer, while I believe the seller could have reached into high xx,xxx. What's everyone's take on the price? Here are some stats:

words
OVT 33,046 ++
OVT w/ext 600

 

[Spade]

Should have gone for double... atleast 50k! (hell, I woulda scrounged 40k together for that name)

Hey, on Dictionary.com they're not selling dictionaries...you don't have to sell anything to make money with a name as good as that. I would do something like WordTracker if I had it, analyze search amounts and usage of words. That's the way to really make a killing off of that name, because companies pay loads of money for research reports on that kind of stuff.

Words.com is limited in what you can do with it. The only thing I can think of is a dictionary, thesaurus, and encyclopedia site.

But I do think $35k is a good deal for the buyer.

Great deal for a buyer not the best one for seller. It should go for at least high $xx.xxx

Man what a steal.

You could use it to sell words, like the guy featured in this interesting news article:

Basiclly a re-hashed Million Pixel idea...

a nice deal for both buyer and seller imo....Plural name...Who has word.com ? And what are thier intentions in the future for it....The traffic alone with a ovt w/ext of 600 will cover the cost of the name,square deal for both parties imo.
