    OMG! Why don't they sell!! Wasted domains.

    I've been looking up some domains and it is unbelievable what some people have parked to make $5 a month.

    And thing is that the $5 will steadily decline over the years.

    Why don't they sell the thing and make some money?

      because $5 a month is $60 a year which is $50 profit for doing nothing with it

          Uhh?

          These domains could sell for $2000 easy and that could be put in a savings account or IRA or municipal bond and make a whole lot more by doing nothing.

          Not to mention that the $50 a year is going to go down $5 a year as type-ins dwindle because they are useless and searchengines start dropping parked pages from their index.

                              Id love to hear some estimates on what that name is worth.

                              I would say from 4 mil to maybe 15 mil. Yes no? Am I crazy? You'll really laugh if you go back and look on it on the wayback machine.

                                                      I'd say 6-10 million.

                                                                          Hat.com would be a more useful name than hot.com in a general market sense.

                                                                          I realize that hot.com is an awesome name and I would rather have hot.com over hat.com. But I don't have a hat company that makes millions a year and can fork over what ever it takes to get hat.com

                                                                          Many big companies sell "hats", I don't know anybody selling "hots".

                                                                                                                      Big money. The price made business since in many ways

                                                                                                                      Buyers are looking to make money not just brand a product and in most cases the people with the big money to buy already have a branded product.

                                                                                                                      I believe the right buyer would pay a million for hot.com but claimng that it would get that in any auction on any domain site it probably way off.
                                                                                                                      That's what I'm saying.

                                                                                                                      I can sell a bag of my shit for 50k if the buyer is a private detective trying to get my DNA sample for the murder of Prince Charles; but that would not be the "market value" for a bag of my shit.

No way he'd be sitting on that domain if he had received an offer of 5 million. This is not sex.com.

                                                                                                                          And if he did get an offer of 5 million and didn't sell it then he is either already filthy rich or an idiot.

                                                                                                                          So I contend that the owner has not recieved any offers any where near a million dollars.

                                                                                                                          Buyers have wised up a little. Pop.com isn't worth shit, so much money was wasted buying that domain.

                                                                                                                          http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...etails/pop.com

                                                                                                                                                                                          Big money. The price made business since in many ways

                                                                                                                                                                                          Buyers are looking to make money not just brand a product and in most cases the people with the big money to buy already have a branded product.

                                                                                                                                                                                          I believe the right buyer would pay a million for hot.com but claimng that it would get that in any auction on any domain site it probably way off.
                                                                                                                                                                                          That's what I'm saying.

                                                                                                                                                                                          I can sell a bag of my shit for 50k if the buyer is a private detective trying to get my DNA sample for the murder of Prince Charles; but that would not be the "market value" for a bag of my shit.
                                                                                                                                                                                          Well free to your opinion, but I have little doubt that hot.com would easily go in the 5 to 10 million range at least.

                                                                                                                                                                                          Its done around 300,000 uniques a month as far back as Alexa goes. With nothing but crap on the page for the life of the domain. That means those are mainly typins. If the owner started a campaign either mainstream on tv, or adult and pushed it the easy to remember short to type in domain would be a huge hit. And remember its not sex.com so there is no taboo with it.

Now look at the steady traffic on hot.com that has had none of that. Though if you do go back a ways you see huge traffic on sex.com but that shows you it wasnt all typins back then. Hot.com is a steady steady traffic producer with little effort.
