Let me give you an example. In 2004, I sold a domain that had no links, no traffic, and no brandability for $140,000; however, it was very nice for the customer's intended purpose. In some respects, MILF LOVERS is is a better name. Don't ask the property, it was a private transaction.

So, it's all about finding the right acquirer. In the case of MILF LOVERS, the likely acquirer probably has traffic. MILF LOVERS can just be plugged in to its existing top rated affiliate program.

MILF LOVERS will provide some smart paysite operator with a signature site in a white hot niche. It's a steal at $50k. It is a license to print money.


Correct. Those saying it's not a worthy domain are probably those with no time, or resources to develop a website around it. A lot the same people say they would point it at a sponsor, or redirect. So for them, it isn't worth a lot.

Fair enough.

But for the right buyer who knows how to develop that, has resources, and an awesome branded name, this would be a steal.

I notice this a lot on the boards, and I think the reason a lot of the responses vary so dramatically is because a gallery submitter would never fork out the dough a program would. Or a decent company w/ resources to put behind a good name. So you have to consider what they do a lot of times to see where their perspective or point of view on business come from.

If you are a one man show, a lot of times it's more work than you want to invest when you are already making your coin elsewhere.
