Domain prices getting back up since the dotcom burst?

Harmon · 02-10-2005, 07:20 AM

Any domain is worth ANY AMOUNT if there is a buyer and/or market for it. So sure, obviously it was worth it to someone

More Booze · 02-10-2005, 07:25 AM

therapy.com is a good domain.

But the other ones suck....

a domain is worth what a client will pay for it. it can be worth $5 to someone. or $100,000 to someone else.

true, but if you owned it would you have sold it for $50,000 or held out for more? (this is assuming you bought it for registration fee.)

that depends a bit on how long it was for sale ;))

DomBuyer · 02-10-2005, 07:55 AM

I have some experience with these kinds of domains, and I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy it. I know single therapists who would have bought it simply for the online therapy referrals they'd get--something that's growing like crazy.

Only so much time in the day to buy names..sigh

nojob · 02-10-2005, 07:57 AM

great links in thread.

rml1608 · 02-10-2005, 07:59 AM

With the proper VC Funding, BEYOND WORTH IT!!!!!

Imagine it, patients that are agoraphobic... People who just can't find more than 20 minutes of time a day to even relax at home let alone drive to an office, etc.. You name it.

30 minute/45 minute/1 hour Online Therapy sessions with Video Chat and Web Cams is a VERY Feasible business and talk about money generating!!!

Those therapist get paid a SHITLOAD.

Solid pickup if the person plans on developing it as I mentioned above. If they plan on making it a message board or some shit... Waste of money.

LOL. I didn't even know it was for sale... did you? Need to check Sedo more often. Going to have to write a script to dig thru all the clutter.

I tried to buy a similar domain yesterday... $3,000,000 price tag. ouch. and Therapy.com is equal to it in quality. disappointed I did not check Sedo.

.

interbuy · 02-10-2005, 08:24 AM

therapy.com was a excellent buy as therapy is definetely one part of the medical profession that can be handled effectively online.

IMHO should will be used as a portal for therapists like psychicweb does for psychics.

Wow, great post... very good business model... got any more ideas that you'd like to match to some of my domains? I'm a developer and have a lot on my plate and realize I can't build an empire alone. Short list: Official.com, Curious.com, Companionship.com, Planners.com, Morale.com, and 10,000+ more domains. I'm always looking for enthusiastic, energetic and like-minded people to join our team. (knowledge-for-equity and sweat-for-equity)

hit me up with a little backgrounder:

if anyone else is interested, let me know.

I keep on missing these nice names, it was well worth 50k, much more in my opinion.

pradaboy · 02-10-2005, 09:12 AM

I think therapy.com is surely worth it... can't say much about the other ones. But as always it's what the fool will pay ya
