I agree with the above, its a so-so DN name. To me " bin " means like bargain bin, so it would be good for a site which sells bargain bin domains only.

Well obviously I didn't think that I had business.com, but feel its worth a bit for than $10. Its 5 letters and describes its content perfectly. I kinda of thought thats what we were looking for? I like dnsnap and checker. Did you think your names were worth only $10 when you regged them.

I agree that bin, does have a bit of a bargain concept attached. That is not the true meaning, but it perhaps has become such. So I guess it would be best to build a bargain dn site. Now of course "bargain" seems to be open to a wide range.

I don't see any value in the name. there are millions of similar better names available for registration. I'm not a fan of the "dn" prefix either.

Well Ebay is the DNbargain bin of late, but how many people wants dnlogos? I guess you build a site that makes logos. Okay, but a smaller market than people looking to buy/sell domains. Did it also have a transfer fee?

I would love to see this list of better names thats free for reg. Please post in the proper forum and I'll surely send you some DNF bucks.

Not saying its a great name, but fell its worth more than $10, hope its at least worth $6.

Yes, there was and thats the only reason why I didnt bid, to me it wasnt worth $25 and trust me there are plenty people looking for Logos for their DN's.

I don't like "DN" names, either ... as a matter of fact, I think it's a rather silly and limited abbreviation for "Domain Name(s)" ... no one but 'domainers would ever know it! Domainers are like (I'm only guessing) .00000000000001% of the globe, or less. And, I agree ... "bin" is like "garbage", or "leftovers". IMO. Sorry.
Good Luck.

But see, now we seem to be more in the $25 range, and thats about the range I was thinking wholesale. Currently I don't want to sell it wholesale, but wanted some feed back, thus the post.

Sure there are people looking for dnlogos, but think its a smaller market. Not sure what Dnads surely works, but again smaller. DNchecker and DNsnap are good names IMVHO, especially for someone like yourself that means to develop.

I did see a lot on ebay the other day that had 50 names in it and all were decent and mostly new regs. It had namebin.com in it and the lot went for just over $200 with no transfer. It seems lately most Dn's belong in a bin anyway.

Best to you DNer's

Smaller, lol

Do you know what ads are, they are everywhere, in the newspaper, on the radio, tv, this forum, every single site has ads on them, on billboards, cars, plains, trains, buses etc....

$200.00 for 50 names, thats 4$ each.

Thanks I had no idea what ads were and that math was surely above me.

I think dnbin.com is a fine name. I'd reserve domainnamebin.com to sell alongside it though. Without that, I'd personally avoid such an abbreviation like the plague. (Redirect queries from the long name to the shortname).

I have cdPad.com and I think it works better because it CD is a word and "Pad" has a more neutral meaning for a Cd related website. DnBin.com definitely seems to imply Domain Name Bargain Bin.

That said, if you had a website with a remarkeably EASY interface and an inviting demeanor, I think the short name would probably work to it's advantage.
