closed Frore.com

What do you guys think is a realistic appraisal of Frore.com?
I have received some interest in it over the years but I am considering it a none essential in my portfolio.

 

[Biggie]

does it have a significant meaning?

cuz just looking at it.... reg fee


imo...

I hold this type of domain on the basis of branding potential, not necessarily big business, but even smaller scale ideas, and I turned down $800, so reg fee is, well, not very far sighted shall we say, thanks anyways.

The type of names that I like due to the branding potential.

The "r's" hurt my eyes though. But, I think if someone ever come up with anything related to the brand name you would get paid.

Wish you luck!

im assuming the person wanting to buy it saw something in more than just its brandable aspects. as a brandable on its own its a bit of a struggle to pronounce and I cant see its obvious use.

maybe Fr (free, French, etc) + Ore, or maybe it means something in another language that we don't see

It does mean frozen or frosty - maybe someone in the freezer industry

$800 would have been a good sale for the name (without further research)

Thanks for some more insightful comments, Just had a look at a webpage called Catchy.com, I think Tia ran a link to it, anyways, interesting Brand-able domains, but $50000 each yikes, lol. Its all pie in sky, makes me hopeful on this topic, and owning a few interesting domains, like OifO.com, its clever to look at and it says something "Oh if Only" you know, and it looks like a bike in small letters oifo, nice if I could turn the handle bars around , on the f, but still cool lol.

I have o j i j o - mine looks like a tandem bike,

Thats beautiful, like awesome lol.
Anybody else got one?

I find it ugly at a MINUS reg fee level.

For less than 800 I would run laughing all the way to the bank.

As an example, I hold dropped.org (intended for dropped domains) and, despite the TLD, I find domains like that way more useful and, may I say, "solid", for biz development. The highest offer I have received for it in its undeveloped state was actually near $800.

Which goes to show "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" ... o j i j o = lovely

thanks, I specialize in brandable words. I have turned a few "reg fee" type names from this forum into $xxx - $x,xxx.

Its one thing that a word have good meaning, but when its branded around your product, thats its meaning. Next does the word sound funky for advertising, and lastly, something most online businesses miss, if not almost all...does it look kwool! In the future this will become more common place, but there is a lack of real genius in the market place, proof is the annoying placement of unentertaining ads, these can be made fun, and engaging but the old status quo prevails...stupid stupid stupid... I cant believe these brain-deads are collecting a wage now, given a option, make a word thats has some hippy hippy shake to it. I believe this to be the wave of the next generation, and zhats how I see it! o j i j o = lovely

Personally, I love Frore.. it definitely would become a nice company name. For some reason it makes me think of cappucino and coffee All things nice. It could fetch around $2k in my opinion, but only if the offer is from a company intending to use the name.

Sweet as Crumblepie, that is if Crumblepie is sweet
"For some reason it makes me think of cappucino and coffee" Thats a real good thing when a word alludes to something, as you have expressed. Anyone can create any word with no defined previous meaning and redefine it into a brand, again, if it sounds good and LOOKS Funky bonus.
