Coffee.net @ $20k: Should I buy it?
 

Zero traffic, but a monster name with monster potential.

I'm very tempted. Should I buy it?

:helpme me before I snatch it up.

:helpme :error :helpme

That's a lot for a .net, but it's a good one. Tough call.

yes go for it

it's a dot net but very good name

who owns the .com?

Are they interested in it?

pity its not a .com
but HUGE potential nonetheless

try and talk em down to $15??

great name

it is a .net ............... but you will probably kick yourself if you didnt :2 cents:

if you buy it but get scammed and don't end up getting it...

would you be interested in buying Scamming.net off of me? hehe :)

$20k is 5k-10k too much for a .net imo.
Even tho its a great name with potential.

I think that it could be worth it.

Let's see here ??? Oh yes i remember.

You are the expert. :thumbsup

I will never understand this business. Whats the potential? Making it a coffee site? Since its a .net it will get no type in traffic. So basically you could take any name and make it a coffee site. Other potential is reselling it? When does it stop? I mean now its 20k right...if you sell it is the domain suddenly worth more? Can you sell it for 25k? And next week the next person sells it for 30k? Why doesnt the guy who sells it now sell it for 30k then?

From everything internet related domain name business is still one big mystery to me.

.com owned by Peets.

This is good. The more people in the dark about our strange domain cabal, the better for us. :1orglaugh

I ain't no expert, just got the roll to buy it. :1orglaugh

If it was $10k or $15k, I'd be all over it.

$20k means I have to develop it or I'll never see my money out of it.

It's an awesome name. You should think about the price though. For .net it's a little pricey.

I don't know much about domains, but that seems overpriced for that .net

Coffee is one of those industries with lots of consumer spending on and offline. I could see a nice site selling coffee makes espresso machines, biscotti, coffe syrups and other consumer products. Could and would be very profitable. The question is...and I know your asking yourself, do I want to develop? Now thats a good question. It may take you away from finding more deals.

It's right on the edge.

If it had like even 50 uniques a day, you could do something with it, but it's a brand only.

And the resale potential to someone like Starbuck's, unlike the .com, would be almost nothing.

However, if it was developed, there's no doubt it would get serious legimitimacy fast with that monster name on the biz card.

wrong. excellent domain... let us know what you decide.

Ok lets see..
This means it basically reached it max price...you wont be able to sell it with 3k profit by next. You would have to develop it.

No type in traffic. So what kind of traffic would coffee.net get that a 9 dollar domain wouldnt get. What kind of traffic is gonna justify 20k?

You know what i see as potential? Getting a 9 dollar name and pump 20k in it. Be it content, design, paysite, avs, whatever...
You instead are willing to buy a name that itself has no value (no type in traffic) pay 20 fucking k for it and THEN develop it. It will get trade traffic and or SE traffic...nothing a 9 dollar domain wouldnt be able to get.

Fuck, i really must be missing something here.

Shuki, when I had erections.com, all three big drug companies told me flat out: develop us an erectile dysfunction site that is clinical and not pornographic, and we'll give you $10k a month min in banner sponsorships, and triple it if you can get 10k registered users.

Sadly, the thought of actually doing real work put me off of it even though the potential was, er, enormous. :1orglaugh

coffee.com is a redirect to another "name" coffee site.

Domain is worth, well, whatever you think your business plan can support.

Alex

I hear you on that one.

What some people fail to see is that the since the .com is gone all the other companies have no option to advertise on what could be a great coffe oriented site. It still has the category killer name just with a different extension. I guarantee that if you can develop coffee in the same way that the drug companies wanted erections done you will have the same opportunities with coffee companies.

starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, etc will do banner ads

Who bought that from you?

It is sold correct?

I GOT IT

Lets all go buy domain names in businesses that we have no clue about. It will instantly make us knowledgeable and we can land the big supplier. Like Juan Valdez, you know him and his donkey will be happy to supply for that site.

Starbucks, LOOK OUT!

.com will go down and .NET is going to be the number one top level domain (pls quote this with lots of :1orlaugh smilies )

coffee.net is well worth $20k , you can make a very good site out it, namely , the coffee network ,

if users know your project as the coffee network, then my guess is all the return visits will have no problem remembering coffee.net and actually coming back to that url

the se traffic once the site is developed can be ENORMOUS thx to the very good name , getting ranked on the top 10 with a name like coffee.net should be doable

bottom line, if you plan to develop yes buy , if not , no dont buy

I'm sure he's going to use an escrow service.

He wont get scammed. "Bob", the seller, is a top grade domainer and overall great person as well.

As for the domain "coffee.net" at 20K... I think it's a bargain at the price.

:thumbsup

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

i was joking, i know he wont get scammed... but i thought it was a good time for a shameless promo of my domain scamming.net :)

It is sold. Vertical Axis bought it a few months back.

I see.....its never going back on the open market then :)

They told me at the time, they wouldn't sell at any price.

Who does their feeds? It is a custom feed for them?

no! buy a $15 domain, and put $19,985 into promoting and marketing the site.
