The notion that "you invented a term" is a bad thing, is outright rediculous. Where the hell do you think almost every company name and product came from? Do I need to give you examples? Amaco, Pentium, Kleenex, Nascar, WalMart, Verisign, MicroSoft, etcc. These are all invented.

I am not too crazy about the name.

Could be used for a site providing Inside news about Corp. ventures, undertakings, buyouts, mergers etc......

" Microsoft makes its move, insider news reports that software giant Microsoft will merge with Apple forming the largest software development Corp. "

The flaw in this argument is that all of those companies invested $$ millions in brand awareness and development. If you are willing to do that, then I'd say you have a spectacular domain name. Otherwise, it's more or less worthless on the open market.

Inside Move is a basketball term used quite often. I think it would be a good site for information about NBA trade rumors, college drafts, player salary negotiations, injury reports, etc.

Could also be a site about corporate mergers

Also, I agree with nexcorp about invented terms. I think a GOOD CREATIVE "invented term" is more catchy than a common term.

Obviously, it'll require a LOT of branding, hard work, and $$$$$ to be successful, if developed. But, I like the "basketball" inference the best. Low valuation, but fairly 'catchy domain.
Good Luck.

Ok. Examples again. Envirobotics, sold, $1850 I invented it.
Puractive $125
CrediCure $200
TechStat $350
Parcelogic $105

I get offers on invented names all the time.
Chances of sale of good invented names are actually pretty good. Ya just cant get greedy. Everything needs to be branded folks. How many of you just typed in dnfurom by accident to get here? Some people are just much better at branding, and it can be quite expensive.

Thanks for all of the great feedback :)

I didn't list any ideas for what it would be used for because I figured I would get better feedback. And it worked :)

Most of the ideas for use were along the lines of what I was thinking.

Business/Sports/etc.

Perhaps Martha Stewart would be interested in it ;)

Thanks again!

very well..

however.. branding is not such an uphill climb when the domain name/words explain it's meaning such as:

InkKit.com

AirfareAnywhere.com
