To the seller, you are high man!

There is a BIG difference between dirtbike.com and californiacoeds.com...

One is instantly brandable in mainstream markets... Newspaper, TV, radio... The other is not. So it is not worth more than $2000 tops...

180 degrees --wrong.

Descriptive phrases domains like "dirt bike" are the exact definition of what is NOT brandable. You are confusing "descriptive" and "distinctive." The USPTO would be very hard pressed to grant a company a TM for "automobile." Yet, "Toyota" is trademarked.

Do you really think that only the owner of that "dirtbike.com" domain (and not the other 100,000 bike and sports shops across the world who have been using it continuously for the last 20 years) would be allowed the exclusive use of the "brand" called "DIRT BIKE?!" What are ya smokin there, Brother?

To completely contradict you, not only is "California Coeds" potentially brandable, it is also alliterative, a big plus.

Now, the kicker. What are you gonna sell on "DirtBike.com?" Check out the site, it is obvious THEY have no clue. It's only a cookie cutter PPC web site. LOL.

Are you gonna invent a StarTrek like machine that allows surfers to download a dirt bike over the internet?

Downloading softcore porn images of frolicking coeds on the California beach has no such technological limitation.

;)

DaddyHalbucks,

The bids in your auction should have opened your eyes. That didn't happen. I see you are still smoking something illegal. After you've gone and completed rehab let us know.

When a webmaster says they can "BRAND" a name they are not talking about shit they can trademark. They are talking about making the url memorable, recognizable, and sticky. Cams.com sold for a million bucks, underpriced probably. You don't think that domain is brandable just because it's unlikely if not impossible to get a trademark for it? Not only is it brandable in the sense everyone here is talking about it's also going to get traffic regardless of what you do with it.

I was going to predict that it *might* break 4 figures on ebay, and it just barely did. You can get more elsewhere, but certainly not what you are looking for.

The name would look good on a DVD box cover, but it's just not a really great domain name that is worth $30,000.

You see this a lot. Above average domains owned by starry-eyed people who think they've struck gold. Of course, they still have the domain 5 years later.

The dirtbike.com example... That or dirtbikes.com is the master domain for dirtbikes. So that in itself is the brand. No, you can not brand "dirtbike," but you can brand "dirtbike.com." A developer who was serious about such a content driven site would have no problem finding advertisers. That sport is huge.

It is a great domain for sure. Dude, if you are making decent money why don't you partner with one of these upstart photographers and let them create a softcore site. I'm sure you would make more than 50k a year EVERY YEAR if you did it that way.

I want to make 50k a year EVERY YEAR, so I just registered DetroitCoeds.com! I won't sell it for less than $195,000.00 (US) on Ebay.

Everyone knows Detroit and everyone knows coeds!
