Got a $75 offer on Tog.com, must read

06-13-2005, 12:38 AM

Here is the offer and my reply

Hi,

I notice that you are the registrar for the domain
tog.com and that you
aren't doing anything with it. If you would be
interested in selling your
domain I would be willing to offer you $75 for it.

Please advise.

Thanks

xxxxx

my reply

Please do not waste your time or mine unless you have
a serious offer that relates to current market value.

/xxxxx

his reply

OK,

I am offering $220 for a domain costing $15.95,
that's over $200 profit for
something that is sitting there doing nothing and
has been doing so for
years.

Mate, I would like the domain but it's not THAT big
a deal, it would be a
pointer anyway so I can certainly live without it.

It's my final offer, you do the sums!

xxxxx

my reply

If it has been sitting there for years they have payed
the domain fee for the same years mostly 5-10 years
for (this type of domain) so in most cases no profit
;)

and i waiting for min 20k for this domain

/xxxx

his reply

Mate, I work for a webhosting company so I've got a pretty good idea
what
domains are being sold for.

20K, for a word that means nothing, you are dreaming buddy! If it was
worth
that much you would have offers 10 times a day!

I had clients buying some bloody good domain names which had multiple
people
after em and still they only went for a 1,000K and they "meant"
something!

Enjoy the wait, it'll be till the end of time!

xxxx

I got 2 offer on 10k, and that was 2 hours after i
listed in on a forum, and it's a one word. Tog means
To dress up or clothing so i don't think it's going to
be hard to sell it. olt.com sold 93k and severall 3
letter has sold for 15-25k

tog.com?

Imagine the possibilities:

Tounges on Girls.
Tits on Genitals.
Toking on Ganga.
Tons of Girls.

If you want, list it on Nicdo. That's a valuable domain name.

Tog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Tog is a measure of thermal resistance, commonly used in the textile industry, and often seen quoted on duvets.

The Shirley Institute in Britain developed the tog as an easy to follow scale instead of the SI unit of m2K/W. Launched in the 1960s the Shirley Togmeter is the standard apparatus for rating thermal resistence, commonly known as the Tog Test.

A tog is 0.1 m2K/W. Another unit of thermal resistance is the clo, equal to 1.55 togs.

Yes, prices of 3 letter .com's have been rising over the last few months.

In the top 50 domain sales this year we have 3 entries for 3 letter .com's:

#8 OLT.com $93,000
#10 GLU.com $75,000
#30 Cow.com $45,400

So yes I do think the $20K he's asking is reasonable.

It's a buyer's market. If he gets that, more power to him. Otherwise I really think the name is shit. I'm sure someone will find a good use for it though.

I can understand your point although I disagree that the name is shit, at least he already has several 10K offers on the table, so if he want he can get a nice price anyway. I think if he sits on it for a while that he can even get that 20K he wants because these names will just become more rare over time.

I would have taken the 10K.

There was a time names were worth a lot more as everybody thought they were going to be millionaires, but this did not happen.

Its a nice sounding name but tog.com is not going to get many people typing it in.

I think if it was tag.com that would be diffenerent.

Anyway, its up to you. If you get 20k for it then that's cool, but you may find that in 10 years time you still are sat on it.

Id have to disagree. Firstly, on the basis on current market, I think $20k is more than fair for this domain but also lets consider the smart entrepreneur who wants a short dot com that can be heavily promoted.

With Tog.com, theres hardly any scope for loss of traffic through typographical errors.

Do you know what's hiliarious about this...

The gentleman that contacted him said that a client of his company usually purchases very nice website names for $1000k...

Meaning, That they purchase website names (but only good ones) at $1 Million dollars...

Obviously the name is worth much more than he offered. Is it worth 10k? I would say yes. 20k? To the right buyer. However, I think it is a smart decision to hold on to it. It could be worth even more over time.

All the 3 letter domains are gone. Ones that don't have dictionary meaning are selling for $5K. If you got a 10K offer fucking take it dude! $5-$7K max.

10k is extemely good.

3 letter domains are valuble, and im sure you will find an enduser for 10k.

But it's your choise, so sit on it if you will.

As time goes on, it will probably be worth much less.

I suspect that you could get a 3 letter domain for under 20k with ease. Just imagine how many there are out there. Yes people are sat on them to try to get rich, but they will slowly get sold. And as they get sold, there value decreases (more available will mean less demand).

Also with new .domains, such as .xxx .jobs and so on, means you will be able to get hold of more 3 letter domains.

I would suggest to anyone with domains they are not using to sell them now. Otherwise you could in a few years own names worth nothing.

Worse still is if they bring out a version 2 or 3 of the net that does not use domains.

Of course there is a chance domains will increase in value, but I doubt it.

Many firms who want decent names are not being blackmailed into buying expensive names. Rather they are thinking up clever names for themselves. And its working for them. The result is that thousands of people have spent huge amounts of money on domains that they may never be able to sell, or at least for big profits.

Yes one or two people have made good money, but I see more domains now being released onto the net.

Lets face it, in porn, there are probably only a handful of decent domains, all the rest are just second best. Domains such as sex, porn, adult, xxx (names people will try for porn) are voluble.
