Coffee.org - SOLD $100,000

[PRED]

I never like it when people say a domain is "sold" before it ever really is.. cough * cough * Pizza.com/Pizza.net ..... but Coffee.org IS currently in Sedo Escrow according to whois, so it does look as this one will be "sold".

With that said, I personally love the .org "feel good" extension. They rank very well in SE's and many times outrank .com's. The internet is full of trust issues and many people "trust" the .org extension, which can give your site instant trust and that is priceless! I think people are just noticing how underrated .org domains are!

i agree. also good coffee lovers are often like wine buffs etc, usually intelligent people and they will prob. associate with .org, if you'll excuse punn
it may even be bought via a 'backed' organisation as the 'coffee organisation'
the selling of coffee is obviously a billion dollar affair and very disjointed and varied. much growth in the fairtrade area too.
sometimes these type of orgs are backed by big dollars not just lentil eaters and do-gooders
maybe some sort of umbrella group is being set up here?
after all that though, bet it stays parked for months lol

I think you'll find alot of the older players typically only go for .com and .org over everything else. I've made quite a bit of money off of org's.

dcristo, why exactly wouldn't this get to the top ten if enough time was invested in it? I agree that Google does put quite a bit of trust into .org's. Look at wikipedia or dmv.org.

comedy.org @ $20,000 ... 1 day to go.

Another excellent sale coming up.


Do you expect any further bids on comedy.org ?



Not mine btw.

 

[Rockefeller]

Excellent sale. I think .org is taking over .net in terms of value


Comedy.org....ahh, what a history i've had.

 

[dvdrip]

I always liked .org a lot more than .net.

 

[Bill McClure]

I think it was a good buy. I am the buyer. Drink more coffee.

 

[domain54326]

How many coffee drinkers in the world?

 

[Rubber Duck]

How many coffee drinkers in the world?

Yeah, but what percentage of them go online to buy their coffee?

Enough to keep Gevalia in business.

 

[doobee]

Ok so what's my donuts.org worth to the coffee.org guy? I have it on Sedo if anyone is interested (shameless plug).

 

[domain54326]

Yeah, but what percentage of them go online to buy their coffee?

With the rise in gas prices expect online retail sales to go up. No tax and free shipping = home run for consumers.

agreed

 

[lordbyroniv]

.org gets decent google positioning

 

[dcristo]

.org gets decent google positioning

Comments like this is what keeps the rumors spreading.

Good point.

This has got to be the silliest statement I have read in a long time to justify a name. You are telling me when I want coffee/grains/beans and the cupboard is empty or perhaps I am shopping ahead I would rather go online, wait and then have my coffee when it arrives ? OR I could walk/ride a bike or drive to the store and have coffee in 10 minutes. Seriously the logic here is moronic. Im sorry I am a very nice person generally and encouraging but come off it for a wee second.

Now if you said we are a specialty house, offering rare blends etc, special orders you cant get in stores and so on, great all the best. But to save gas ?

It is a commodity imo that has to be on demand. People dont buy a shirt or hat or car online because they need it in 10 minutes or the next morning as they do with their coffee . Some things are made for the net others are not. Specialty items ( coffee ) sure, to save gas, makes no sense.

I order my coffee online in one month supplies, I get free shipping and it saves me money. I can get my per cup costs down. I believe with anything if people can save money then they will! I talked to my dad yesterday and found out he orders coffee online also. We get our coffee in two days free shipping and get more of a selection then our local grocery store. I think flour and grains might be different but coffee sells well online from what I have seen.

I dont think you understood my viewpoint. Let me refrase.

As stating buying coffee online in "general terms"....

People are going online more often to buy items right now in todays world. Think about it, gas is soon to hit $5 per gallon. So why not shop online and save money?

Its actually proven if you checkout the recent stories from the major online retailers on internetretailer (dot) com.

 

[DNP]

I think people buy online in no specific order:

- porn (subscriptions to porn sites)
- travel (reservations for air, hotels, car rentals, etc.)
- books (paper, e-books)
- music (downlaods, CDs)
- movies (DVDs, videos, pay-per-view movies)
- computers/computer equipment
- software (shareware, licenses, anti-virus renewals)
- flowers & other gifts

Once again, you are mistaken in thinking that someone has to actually buy something from a website to make it successful.
