You tell me what it's worth, and I'll tell you how much you know about domains.

Ok, go...

LOL. I actually saw the price Theo listed the other day before he edited his thread.

Now if someone really wants to cheat... they can go to... errr.... nevermind.

I'll bump this because I want to see the responses.

Nobody has taken your test, DomBuyer. Maybe you need to make prizes or something?

pradaboy · 01-25-2005, 12:38 PM

I'll bite, mind you I'm not experienced in the domain biz but I'm looking to get more into the trading game...

I'd say...

$40K

triumph · 01-25-2005, 12:43 PM

it might not be worth alot at first glance, but if someone had an idea for it, it could be worth a nice chunk of change.

Nice of you to say, lol, but not worth anywhere near $40k.

crockett · 01-25-2005, 03:52 PM

no one's going to guess, but I wouldn't think it would be an outrageous price.. I can't think anyone would pay too much when it's not the .com espically when the type in traffic will go to the .com. Unless they owned the .com already.

It's not a bad .net at all, so I'm sure if you sold it, it was to someone that had a plan for that name. So they were probably willing to spend a little more than a normal .net would bring.

so spill the beans how much..

Well said.

Spill the beans on what? What it's worth? Or what I paid?

interesting results at alexa: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/?url=wink.net

ann.net?

I think the former owner also owned ann.net so he might have been funneling traffic to one or the other.

Linguist · 01-25-2005, 04:03 PM

I'd maybe pay ~$100-$200 for it because it seems like it may get some typos from the japanese people...There are better domains dropping every day.
To the right buyer it may be worth in the $800-$1000 range

I may be missing something though

Edit: it actually looks like there's quite a few places that have wink and net in them, so i'd pay $500 for it

Dirty F · 01-25-2005, 04:04 PM

2.5k

....

brand0n · 01-25-2005, 04:07 PM

hmm fairly brandable, dont know what else you could do with it. dating site?

say..5k?

chupachups · 01-25-2005, 04:10 PM

3-4000
Pretty nice domain.

DomBuyer · 01-25-2005, 04:12 PM

Well, this is an interesting twist: The .com is not in use, so you could in theory swoop down and buy both if you were branding it, which is nice. Large companies usually like to do that.

Still, lots of companies DON'T care what happens to the .net and will brand on the .com only, which will inevitably toss the .net some new residual traffic, increasing its value.

Additionally, because the .com is not in use, a company could just brand under the .net, lose traffic to the .com, but then establish prior use preventing any later WIPO action.

Either way, the fact the .com is not in use will work in my favor.

2000-4000

xsivforce · 01-25-2005, 04:50 PM

I would say at least 10k and very easily higher. I am thinking it would make a great online dating dite.

brand0n · 01-25-2005, 05:31 PM

so your sayin 10k?

Steen2 · 01-25-2005, 05:33 PM

wink.net?

$600.

Actually, more like $200-$300.

paxton · 01-25-2005, 06:23 PM

Unles I misread, I see estimates between $100 and $40,000 - which means some of you are off your rocker... apparently, just like me, as I found out by taking a real online Rorschach Test!

This was my diagnosis:

"Your responses indicate that the whole world thinks you're insane, except for your friends deep with in the Earth. Electroshock therapy might help, but arsenic will cure those voices in your head for sure. You also have unfounded delusions of adequacy. People who answer as you did always steal items from work, justifying it however they can."

Comforting, eh?

As for Wink.net, it's a very nice name.

No, $10k would be a very motivated buyer.

Reality is $3-$5k.

At first I thought it was a stupid buy, I was reading the domain as WIN k . net
not as in wink. I think its a solid 5-10k domain. What does wink.com have on it?

I just saw your thread on DNF... good luck with the sale

gxer · 01-26-2005, 02:56 PM

i'd say it worth today around 2K + , i mean for reseller, but you paid for this domain around $600-1K - no more than 1K i think.
For the end user - it's solid name and can be easily sold for 10K for sure
