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.


Shitty domains? No argument.

However, their domain IS their brand. They are the same.

And, they make alot of money. But, so what? The point is NOT: can you still make alot of money despite crappy marketing?

The point is: how far can good marketing take you?

The argument that only domains with type-in traffic have big value is very 1998. That low hanging fruit was picked long ago.

You know this as well as anybody.


These above examples are valuable for different reasons.

Men.com is short and has traffic. But what to sell there? With all due respect to my friend KRL, that is still somewhat up in the air.

CaliforniaCoeds.com is longer and has no built-in traffic. But there is no doubt about what to sell there!

And, the roughly 30X price difference is a powerful equalizer; it is no small amount.

This thread is approaching 1000 views so at least it's branded the domain for the webmasters.

You could start an affiliate program on it now.

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


"Not price conscious" doesn't mean to suggest profligate or foolish, the possible implication of a few of the replies to this above good observation by KRL.

It just means that the buyers have money and don't need to limit themselves to $50 bargains.

It takes some balls and experience to buy a domain like this for mid five figures. But these people are out there. Someone with a good idea for CaliforniaCoeds.com, some good content, and the ability to execute... will snap it up pretty fast, and be smiling.

CaliforniaCoeds.com is a great name.

Based on todays value and cash. Some of the overpaid will deffinatly be bargains in a few years. So if whomever does not mind holding them that long then sure. Otherwise I would take many of the overpaid amounts and look for todays bargins. I am positive the todays bargins will then turn into "lucky son of a bitch" prices in a few years.

I may have missed this, but if I haven't:

are you ever going to say what the reserve is?

I never bid on an auction with a reserve.

From the eBay auction page:

"In fairness to all bidders, the reserve will not be disclosed outside the auction. So, please do NOT send private inquiries to the seller asking about the reserve. It will not be disclosed. However, to address this in a roundabout manner: the reserve is set in the ballpark of what a "nice" new car would cost --not a Mercedes, but not a Neon either."

I have always wondered about the thought process behind these statements. I mean, it is not like someone can win the auction by bidding less than the reserve so how is it unfair to tell someone the reserve. In "real" auctions they tell you what the reserve price is. It is usually the opening bid, but for some reason some eBay sellers like to tease people by having an undisclosed reserve.

Tell me Daddy-O, what do you think is fair/unfair when it comes to reserve prices.

Yes, the tease is probably part of the reason to have an undisclosed reserve. To protect your assets as a "stop loss" is also important. To get people to bid freely without artificial barriers is yet another.

To answer your second part about fairness: fairness is in part determined by bidders having the same information, at least the material facts. So we try not to show favoritism. Maybe it is just a token gesture, but that's the way it is.

winning auctions on ebay is difficult enough when you've a budget to stick to, so having a reserve makes it twice as difficult to win. if the seller won't reveal the reserve in auctions like that, I lose interest. never mind.

If you have a budget, this domain is probably not for you.

It's for an adult company with some money, probably a California adult company.

But, who knows? If you can afford a "nice" new car, you can possibly buy this domain. You never really know who's got the green stuff to plunk down. The reserve is not an outlandish number. I promise.

The big thing to keep in mind: how hard is it to sell beautiful young California Coeds to horny web surfers? Add in the gorgeous scenery of many California campuses.. and you've got a possible homerun with a worldwide market.

This domain should be a slam dunk for anyone who's got game.

Heck, it could become the rare kind of adult website where members would want to maintain a continuous membership.

With all this in mind, maybe I'll signup as an affiliate. I really like the idea of all those potential rebills!!

Thanks.

Yes, CaliforniaCoeds.com is brandable and would make a great site.

Something like this would have a good shot at attracting the mainstream media too, and that would bring in a ton of members.

Remember Voyeur Dorm? That was a huge news story, especially in its home state.

DaddyHalbucks 03-09-2006 08:51 AM

Less than 8 hours to go in the eBay auction.

If you want to own this domain, start bidding soon.

There is no good reason for having an undisclosed reserve. If you r reserve is 20k then start the bids at 20k. What good are the 50.00 bids if you have a high reserve?

eBay buyers are going to spend within 5-10% of their comfortable limit anyway. If you have a "secret reserve" price I promise you the 305.00 bidder is not suddenly going to enter a 25k bid.

Not starting the bid at your reserve price simply makes no sense to me.

beemk 03-09-2006 09:20 AM

i think supply and demand (which an ebay auction proves) is about to show you that the domain isnt worth as much as you claim. you cant get a better supply and demand figure than what it goes for on ebay.

As I have said before, the reserve is no big secret. It's approximately the cost of a nice new car: nothing super fancy, but no rust bucket either.

If you start an auction with a high opening bid, often you get no bids. So, I would rather see a little action, even if it falls short in the end.

actually i don't know why would someone sell a domain on ebay

neither most domainers nor end-users as Lensman :1orglaugh spend their time there looking for domains

there are better options, like sedo, afternic, dnforum, gfy.com ;-) etc

"Proving people wrong" seems to be the unofficial sport of GFY.

I don't put much stock in eBay as an appraisal service. eBay isn't the greatest for selling domains. eBay is ideal for collectibles and consumer goods.

Domains are a business infrastructure item, more B2B oriented than consumer oriented. Frankly, there really is no good place to sell domains. Domains are very specialized, and marketing them in such a place as eBay is usually a mismatch.

This subject domain has value, and one option is just to hold it. If it doesn't sell today, maybe someday it will generate more interest.

:)

polish_aristocrat 03-09-2006 09:49 AM

anyway, i dont get it why this thread got so big
not only it's in the wrong forum, but the domain isnt THAT special either

i guess it's because the thread starter considers himself an old-timer or player in the domain biz...
i could see some newb with 85 posts selling this domain for 5-figures here and all he'd get would be 50 :1orglaugh :1orglaugh posts Manowar style ;)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

If you think coed is a lucrative niche, and that perhaps the Golden state of California has some mystique for people around the country and even around the world, and California has some gorgeous beaches and campuses, and this domain is catchy and marketable and alliterative, well, then, just maybe... it IS special after all. If your porn company is located in California, that might be even better.

OK, let's assume I am a noobie. But Steve Lightspeed isn't a noob, and in which niche did he make his money?
