I like it. Do you own it?

I like it but I'd love Outsource more.

Honestly, I believe it to be a 5 figure domain. oDesk and the like make millions of dollars from the outsourcing niche. The problem is it's a .net... and in the past websites like oDesk have chosen to brand rather than buy a keyword domain.

At the end of the day I'd sell if I had a solid offer.

Yes Gerry, I own it. Just trying to gauge opinions on the name.

I think it has great potential as a tech site. Although the extension goes well with the name, as in an outsourcing network for IT people, the net is not going to carry it far. I can see this cracking the 5 figure mark but not in the mid range. I have to consider that the demand for this even as a .com would not be great unless the end user had a specific plan for it. Also, I feel that any word, no matter the extension, that has a negative history and viewed unfavorably in society tends to keep the interest and dollar figures low.

This is a developers name...It will take lots of hard work, a strong business model & a strong team for support. There is stiff competition in this area and the perfect enduser is going to be very hard to find. I agree that many firms with a good model and backing use a brandable in this area...in my opinion, that opens the door for competition - specifically a new comer with a good plan, funding & support - and this this domain will help them earn instant cred....this type of new comer does not come along every day.

Bottom line, I would not sell this for less than 10k...but really, I would look to partner with a firm who may have all the pieces except for being well funded enough to afford the domain. I would also look for lease deals where the lease is really, really reasonable - but the buy out may not be...so it will give a start up a chance to give it a go - and if it works out you both win - if it does not work out - they have not spent their life savings and you made more than parking and still have your name (with additional traffic).

Good luck.
