eBay doesn't estimate any value. They just run the auction.

Actually, I know of one guy who sold a brandable name (without traffic) for $50,000 --but the acquirer would have paid, and had authorized, up to $250,000 to acquire it. The seller had no clue. The buyer wanted to sell a product by that name. The seller left $200,000 on the table.

So, you have willing buyers for such brandable names all the way up to $250,000. There are probably a lot more examples of even higher ones.

We believe that [CaliforniaCoeds.com] would make a great marketable site that would make hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit. That has value. That makes "mid five figures" look like a good buy.

Domains are unique pieces of real estate.

Can't this be said about EVERY domain out there? I can reg werpovcvd.com and say its brandable to the right person but claiming that domain is worth 50k because of that would be retarded.

Basically your domain is pretty worthless.
Its like having an old shitty car thats worth 200 bucks. Maybe on the other side of the world theres a person who would pay 5k for that car because of the wheels or whatever. That means you would be lucky and not that your car is worth 5k. Its still worth 200 bucks. Same goes for your domain.

I see you're still living in La-La Land.

You'll notice nobody came to your defense when you said you think I'm offbase on CoedCash.com (especially knowing that you don't have CoedsCash.com to go with it, which is what most will type into their browser). $50,000 for CoedCash.com, eh?

Yep, whacky weed strikes again!

DHB saw the headlines of X domain selling for XXX million. He decided to get into the domain market and get him summa dat. He or someone he knows bought up shitloads of names when pulling some b/s like californiacoeds.com was a $20 registration fee. After accumulating hundreds or thousands of these domains he found a few suckers along the way that bought into the hype and wanted to get rich on domains. (Amway ring a bell) This reinforced the idea to him that his domains are worth 500 times the actual market price. I'm sure he's made some nice sales along the way, when you find that special buyer for that special name you can get some big bucks. You also post on GFY that you're selling a mediocre name that you estimate to be worth 5 to 6 figures. :1orglaugh

$305 is a damn good offer for that crap. You can register equally valuable names still today with a little digging.

Thanks for the kind words, however..

I have been in the domain business for over 5 years. I manage almost 20,000 domains. I don't view domains as a 'get rich quick' scheme, I view it as a business to "work really hard, and hopefully get rich in the end."

CaliforniaCoeds.com was originally registered in 1997. That's not some junk that just popped on the scene.

My customers aren't "suckers." I have made them alot of money.

I have sold domains into the six figure range. I have bigger deals on the horizon.

The short answer is NO.

I never doubted you did. Most domain people with a highly inflated sense of what something is worth have sold some names for big money. Nobody here is questioning whether or not you can find someone dumb enough to pick up one of 20,000 names for a ridiculous price here and there. It's to be expected. That doesn't mean anybody is buying your estimates either.

KRL	03-08-2006 09:10 AM

With domains like this nice one, its all about finding a retail end user that is out "looking" in the market with deep pockets who isn't price conscious and who wants to get some PR out of a high priced purchase, and as much as everyone here has poo poo'd that possibility on this thread, those kinds of buyers do exist.

Its a challenge to find them no doubt, and they are far and few between, but they are out there.

The questions are: Is there an innovative porn company with deep pockets that has coed content or who wants to market a new coed site? Would the theme of 'California Coeds' appeal to alot of web surfers? Is "California Coeds" a catchy name? Are there a lot of colleges in California with gorgeous scenery for shooting killer content? Are there a TON of gorgeous coeds on those campuses? etc..

Heck, the more I think about this, "mid five figures" seems too cheap.

If he was selling it, it's worth at least $100k. But if you're selling it to him it's worth $15.

I'm just saying Donny, its about perspective. And there is such a vast worldwide ocean of domain buyers now that you get quite a lot of perspective varieties.

I've seen sales on domains that I wouldn't even pay reg fees for go for hard to imagine amounts. You have to wonder what the heck the buyer is thinking at times. But to each his own seems to be the rule.

One thing I've learned is never doubt the possibility. And that has been a pleasant surprise fortunately.

Exactly! If high end buyers were a dime a dozen there wouldn't be a need for brokers to go out and do the job they do.

Its a lot of fucking work. You can end up spinning wheels and a lot of time with dozens of prospects to get to that 1 buyer that will actually close a deal successfully with you or your client.

I have one top one word domain I'm working on a deal with for a client that is in the 7 figure range. It's taken months upon months to find a buyer and I had to snag the singular version as part of the deal which presented an additional challenge. So finding 7 figure buyers is truly like the pic you posted Chad. A needle in a haystack, but if you look through enough grains of sand, you'll eventually find the one.

Nah, it just comes down to business.

Does this domain provided an opportunity to make some good money? Does the buyer see the opportunity? How much money can it make? At what cost?

It's very simple actually.

Exactly. This domain must be branded, like any other. I doubt more than a handful of people ever type that domain into their browser.

And let's take a look at some sites that make a lot of money, yet have shitty domains:

karupspc.com
karupsha.com
amkingdom.com

All three of those do more than 7 figures per year in sales, yet the domains themselves suck. It's about branding, not the domain.

Yahoo? Google? Huh?

So why spend money on that CaliforniaCoeds domain when you'll just have to turn around and brand it anyway.

I have them all, I admit that they are not worth a lot. But they are good looking domains. And get searches every day. Much more targeted too!

Good luck with the sale, California Coeds is a nice domain!

When I was a kid you could buy a brand new car for $3k and a nice house for $20K.

One day they'll be saying that about Internet properties too.

That's the point.
