www.Saddam.com
What do you think is the enduser value of this domain name? Speculation from $50 to $60,000+ on the value. I have recieved a lot of interest in it but what do you think would be a good asking price for It. Obviously its whatever someone is willing to pay for it but what do you think is reasonable?

 

[dgridley]

To me, it's a domain I'd look to capitalize on quickly.. once the trial is over, interest in the Saddam name IMO will nosedive.. I don't feel he will be more than a sad little historical footnote soon after he's done with.

I disagree. I think Saddam is up there in newsworthiness with Hitler and he will be talked about for a long time to come.

 

[DomainShows]

I think that after one or two year, the story about Saddam will be over and .... If I own this name, i will sell it as soon as possible.

 

[loscocco]

i agree i think the peak of the value won't continually go up forever but i think he will be famous.. or rather infamous for a long time. Just asDevil Dog compared to hitler.

But currently what do you think the end user value is and who might be the end user? Just want to get your thoughts on it.

 

[dgridley]

How many people still speak about Idi Amin or similar?

As bad as Saddam is/was to a large segment of the world, he's a minor historical figure in the larger picture and won't be remembered long.

That's my opinion tho.. others of course may disagree..

To get back on track, the domain IMO has immediate value of a potential xxxx as long as the news holds up.. sell it fast.

I disagree. I think Saddam is up there in newsworthiness with Hitler and he will be talked about for a long time to come.

 

[nametruck]

I would advice you to reach at big news channels like cnn, abc, nbc etc, specially a day that Saddam is in court, that could make news and your domain may have great value then, it will either be

Saddam in court vs Saddam on sale.

Well... Close. I think after our generation is through (60-70 years) then he'll die off. Anyone the US (last major superpower) has a conflict with tends to make history.

I'd sell ASAP just to be safe. Cant give a price, but if I a concept for the domain I'd drop a few hundred on it. Will you take $25? lol

 

[khuldun]

Its a very IN domain at teh moment, i guess you must be getting a good number of uniques every day. It would most probably go for around mid xxx or more, but i hasve a hunch you might get an abnormal price for it

I'll appraise using the RVER Method (Research Value Estimate Recommendation)

Looking good here, Saddam is a popular domain name to reg, if people will go as far as to register the .ws or .cc and .biz.

-Key Word Selector Tool-

20342 saddam
45494 hussein saddam

Oddly enough there is more searches if you type the full name, doing a search for the full name reg's reavealed...

Implying more to the value of his name again here, having Saddam, along with Saddamhussein would go well, to my amazement, HusseinSaddam.Com was available and all other TLD's, and that was the higher keyword select for the search. You might consider registerting that as well if your serious about this.

- Goolgle Searches -

Results 1 - 10 of about 69,700,000 for saddam. (0.62 seconds)

All I have to say is WoW! For one name that is a lot of uses of the name. This will add greatly to it's value as a name.

-Value-

1 word domain name - +$20
Relevence of word - Very Strong Name (even if he is evil), and it's easy to remember and relevent to the person 99% even without the lastname there. +$100
Google Searches - +$200
Domain Availability - This shows your selling power potentially, raises your score +$100.
KeyWord Selector Tool-:The full name showed more searches, but 20,000 searches is nothing to laugh at, so +$50 here as well.

-Estimated Value-

Final Value: $470 minimum (Conservitive Estimate)
Range Value: Mid $$$ to Mid $$$$

-Recommendations-

Given it's potential value and selling power, puting this for sale on sedo would be worth while, and give it a sponsored position. You should be able to sell this easily for more then $470, but that is it's base worth IMHO as it stands currently, his name declining from popularity or not.

This name is great and I know you can sell it for more then my conservitive estimate, that value is just the value that I'm sure any sane person might consider paying for it right away in hopes of resell. In all reality your name is worth to the right buyers possibly $2000. Easily worth $470 though! Remember a domain is only worth as much as the buyer thinks it's worth.

Hope this helps.

@ x11joex11

The problem with Overture's tool is that it mixes up word order. You can't rely on that. When it displays hussein saddam it actually means saddam hussein. Who in the world would type it the other way around.

In such a case I use https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal and type in e.g. hussein saddam and "use synonyms" is activated. Then I choose "keyword popularity" in order to see the search volume (the green bar) and for "hussein saddam" it shows as non existent whereas for "saddam hussein" it shows average search volume.

Though this tool is a good indicator if you want to dig it down you would need to use wordtracker in order to be on the safe side. If anybody has the money to spend on wordtracker and is interested go ahead.

Back to the appraisal...

Regarding the (historical and actual) interest in this name I'd appraise this name in the low $x,xxx. For the enduser it might be much much more worth though. Reasons: It's short, one word, it's somewhat "brandable", it's a .com and the interest is definitely there plus a pinch of thinking outside of the box here. If you get a good offer you feel comfortable with then I'd say sell it.

 

[Reppy]

I disagree. I think Saddam is up there in newsworthiness with Hitler and he will be talked about for a long time to come.

I would agree with this statement.

However I'd try and get the best price as soon as possible.

 

[slipondajimmy]

without getting to political im going to say there is NO way Saddam can be compared to Hitler

But I will agree the name should be sold pretty fast and once the trial is done he will be old news

IMO low x,xxx

 

[matt_bodis]

Mid $x,xxx.

 

[domain54326]

Racist domain so worth $0

 

[kev]

i think it is worth at least $3000. It is a popular first name in the middle east but that "thing" associated with the name may detract the price a bit. I am sure you wont have any problem selling it.

Good luck!

 

[yuknodoit]

Low XX,XX - I've just regged Saddam.tv!

 

[peaches017]

Racist domain so worth $0

lol... mid-high X,XXX but unload it quick. I agree with dgridley on the value nosediving.

 

[B33R]

As bad as Saddam is/was to a large segment of the world, he's a minor historical figure in the larger picture and won't be remembered long.

I agree with you 100%.

Saddam is no Hitler. Hitler was made dictator in '33 and tried to invade the rest of Europe from '39 onwards (until his death)

Saddam was dictator for over 30 years and never made an attempt to take over the Middle East. He may have made moves on a few other countries but he was no Hitler. The fact that Hitler wanted to take over Europe and presumably then the world is why Hitler will be remembered and Saddam will fade away within a couple of decades.

They're two different people. Hitler wanted the world to think the same as him and he tried to force that on people. Saddam seemed to be happy just controlling one country and its people. He never thought the same way as Hitler did.

Sure he was a bad man and did a lot of really bad things to that country but Hitler brutalized an entire continent. Saddam has only really affected a few countries.
Virtually every European family was scarred by Hitler. Not to mention America and all the other countries who were involved in fighting Hitler. Saddam only affected a few countries in the Middle East. He won't be remembered much outside those countries.

Back to the appraisal
Saddam_com get a site up quickly, monetize it quickly and you can probably make back your money.

Give it 10 or 20 years and the domain will be worth nothing. ** Unless he escapes - then you're on to a winner! **
If you had Hitler_com you'd still have 100 or 200 years to monetize it.

Appraisal for Saddam - tough to say. I'd probably value it at whatever you can make from it in 5 or 10 years because after that the domain will be worthless.
