Are people overpaying on NameJet?

[theinvestor]

I am finding that what goes on namejet can be overpriced big time.

Am i the only one who see's that?

An example is something i have seen recently on public auction.

KVMA.com ...ends in about 4 hours and current price is $360.

Am i losing my mind or is this expensive?

question is: why do you want that particular domain?

There is more and more competition, as a result we end up in bidding wars and paying end user price
BTW LLLL.com are overrated right now IMHO

Namejet attracks different kinds of crowds and it's not a free for all lunch. Therefore, prices are higher but not necessarily excessive.

About KVMA, the letters are "clean" and most importantly, the domain was registered in 1999. $360 is cheap, it should go for a grand.

HOLD ON..... WHAT does that mean? :?:

Good letters - old domain. Let me know how much this ends at.

Thanks.....well, a bit unexpected from you to judge K and V good letters.

I personally di dnot have that one in my NJ shortlist which has pretty much almost all good LLLL.com

I know you give alot of importance to age of a domain.

Could you give some price indication for good LLLL simply based on different registration years like:


2006
2003
2001
2000
1999
1998
earlier...

Thanks

No. I mentioned this too somewhere on the forums and LLLL aside, You'd be considered lucky to get anything like a halfway decent generic for under $500. Sometimes you get lucky, but that's rare now.

Argh, let's not get onto the old "good letters vs bad letters debate"
I've sold LLLL .com's that contain X's for 4 figures. The point is, the entire set of letters in that domain needs to have some visual flow or appeal. E.g. XQJU is not good, IMO - but XRTZ is. Get my point?

Old domains: anything older than 2000.

Namejet auctions usually end overpriced whenever there is more than one active bidder.

I disagree. In my experience old domains are hard to sell even if they are 11+ years old. I would probably value KVMA.com 9 years old at max $120 reseller.

Nope:smilewinkgrin:

If you're entire business is focused on flipping names between resellers, then good luck with that pricing.

Old domains are hard to sell? Like aged wine, domains that never dropped are sought after for a variety or reasons. Please don't misinform others.

Yes, I got your point......and this is mine:

okay......can you put a price on a 1998 LLLL.com that is also PR4 ?

Thanks

 

[draggar]

I've noticed when people bid early the bidding starts and jumps near the end. I noticed a LLLLL-LLL.com I wanted (don't laugh) and I literally waited until the last few minutes before it disappeared and put in my $60 (or was it $70?) bid.

Don't blame namejet for the price, blame the other bidders.

This domain is 9 years old which makes it a stable and aged domain, even for an LLLL.com it should fetch a fair price.

Without knowing the actual domain, it'd be a hard guess. Probably $1,500+ if the letters are good.

Aged domains are not as valuable to resellers. Also in my experience most end users are not concerned with stats or registration dates.

<removed by mod>

Have you had success selling domains based on age to end users?

cheers

 

[theinvestor]

I have found the same thing virtual, the age of a domain has little value in my opinion if it's not a premium domain. There are lots of 10+ years old domains that because they are non premium are still worth reg fee.

Yes, letters are good, actually starts with MM

You are good......same valuation of Estibot without even knowing it all.

I agree, the Aged domain still needs to make sense. One thing often missed, is what Any domain is ranked for a certain keyword at SE's. ABDNAZ.com could be ranked well for the search term "Loan" but you would have to see that or ABDNAZ.com would value at near nothing. It is more likely that an aged domain will have a SERP, but for what is the question.

But that`s a completely different story.

We are talking of LLLL.com here are not we?

LLLL.com , LLL.com and LL.com have proven to be sough after because of their ACRONYMS potentials and sometimes for their brandability.

While if in the past people choosed to reg thing slike:

thisismywebsitedoyoulikeitornot.com

or

hey-this-is-me.com

is another story.

ACRONYMS are just growing in value because more and more companies worldwide start using internet for their first time. Instead, long domains do not have ACRONYMS so there are little or no endusers for them (unless we are talking of dictionary terms, 2 or 3 dictionary terms, etc)
