Doc, I agree with you. I just wanted a range for resellers, not for an end user. :)

If anyone knows someone that buys such names, please contact me via PM. I'm considering selling one.

Doc, I agree with you. I just wanted a range for resellers, not for an end user. :)

I'm not in the same league as you guys, as the most I've ever sold any of my domains for (so far) is only $1,500, but I'm intrigued by some of the assumptions underlying the posts here.

Of all the 2009 Sedo sales of NN.com domains whose prices were reported here, which ones will be developed? Are all these sales of short, glamorous domains domainer-to-domainer sales?

Can a business make $75,000 more because they build their brand as 34.com or 63.com or 92.com as opposed to building a brand at some other great domain that could be bought for less?

Unless the two digits tie into some other preexisting mnemonic, are they even memorable as brands? I mean, if one hundred different businesses built their sites at 61.com, 62.com, 63.com, 64.com, 65.com, 66.com, 67.com, 68.com, etc., what consumer could keep them all straight? Even the double-digits might not seem so special then.

Isn't the underlying value of a domain what will be willingly paid by a person who intends to die owning it? That's a dramatic oversimplification, but you get the idea. What that businessman will pay (if he's not crazy) is based on how much additional money he expects to make just because he can use this particular domain.

I feel it shouldn't be surprising that prices can go down as well as up on names like these, if the volume of trades is mostly domainer-to-domainer sales. That's not a bad thing. Speculators provide liquidity, which saves us all from some risks. But I don't think it's safe to presume that end-user prices will ever be higher than domainer-to-domainer prices on domains like these. So be careful not to get caught in a bubble.

I am willing to be "re-educated," and you advanced domainers in this thread seem to be best qualified to do so. Those of you who have sold names like these in the $25k to $100k range, what do you think about the possibility of end-user sales? Have you had some for these domains?

Thanks for your attention and advice.
