It's a nice name, but to get six-figures you'd need to hit an end-user home run.

Agreed.

Right now, you don't need to spend six figures to own it.

But, I won't sell it now for less than mid fives. I'll leave a little money on the table, but I ain't gonna give it away.

Years ago, MiningCo did a major re-branding, changed their name to ABOUT.COM, and emerged as a real winner. They zoomed up from something like the #80 most visited website --to #8.

For starters, they could ditch a 19 letter domain name --for a 4 letter name. It would also make a great excuse for a worldwide press release.

If ConsumptionJunction played their cards right, as I am sure they would do, I bet they could get enough free worldwide publicity on the first day of a re-branding announcement to justify this domain purchase.

What do you guys think?


We are all aware of this domain name and the sale on ebay. I don't think there is any interest there. We have a very well known brand. Changing our domain name and brand at this point doesn't sound like a good idea. Our 19 letter domain name doesn't seem to have slowed us down a bit. Once you've been to our site you never forget the name.

Besides your asking price is way too high. From reading this thread it sounds like I'm not the only one that thinks this.

it's a good high 4 fig domain.

No one would have suggested ConsumptionJunction as a potential acquirer unless it was doing well.

MiningCo did well with its original name. But read about their re-branding as ABOUT.COM, it's an interesting case of how they became phenomenally GREAT.

AHundredMonkeys and Master-McNeil and Lexicon will charge you $70,000-100,000+ for a new brand WITHOUT a domain name included --unless the name is unregistered, of course.

One of my ventures is NamingSystems and we advise companies about these issues.

Approx. 1 hour left in the auction.

One obvious drawback to your "NamingSystem" . . . no type-ins and nobody wants to be known as ?yuck.?


Yuck
Nasty
Gross
Disgusting
Unpleasant
Sickening
Coarse

Domains are only worth what somebody is willing to pay...and I think this gent will do well if he holds out :-)

god hal you suck. Shamelessly fishing for a bid from the CJ guys suggesting they dump their brand name, and despite what the market tells you, you are trying to get 10x what the domain is worth.

Do yourself a favor, hold onto the domain and keep telling yourself it's worth "mid five figures" maybe you'll sleep better at night :thumbsup

Nice domain name, great to remember too
