recently sold domains.. why low prices

[phoenix88]

These are domains that were recently sold, listed at dnjournal.com
Why did these domains sell for low $$. Am I wrong? I think some could have sold for $8,000-15,000.
sdcards is searched 246,000 (average) times a month according to adwords. You would think it would sell for much higher. Any insights? Is it because of the market crash.


sdcards.com $3,112
buypro.com $3,100
onlineprofits.com $3,500
christmasdeals.com $4,188
sportlifestyle.com $2,188
carandsound.com $2,000

Straight up, youre wrong. In fact I would venture to say they got more than they deserved.

 

[phoenix88]

what about sdcards? that is a popular search term
Im trying to understand how particular domains sell.
I guess sdcards is minuscule compared to say... camera or freecards

 

[Justin Hulsey]

I believe they got lucky selling at those prices also.

 

[rebirth]

Be positive lad! Those names are great and sold adequately. Next year, everything will be much brighter for domainers.

 

[David G]

Without doing any research or knowing about possible traffic I feel those prices were more than fair in fact I feel all 6 were quite a bit over-valued, especially 4 of them.

the domains did't sell for $$, they sold for $,$$$


as said before, without knowing traffic, i too would say they were good prices.
especially when you don't know the sellers original acquisition price and what his/her profit margin is/was or how high their "liquidation stress level" was.
------
sdcards popular now, but tech changes too fast...how soon will they be replaced?
-----------
buypro, good name but very vague..."buy pro" what?

-----------
onlineprofits, has longevity and lot of potential for marketing sales
this one maybe undersold, imo
------------
christmasdeals, good seasonal domain, but how much will it make during that season? good price
--------------
sportlifestyle , good sale

-------

carandsound, good sale


imo...

 

[bobovia]

i'd sell for those prices in a heartbeat...

SDCards.com and OnlineProfits.com have potential, but the rest of the names aren't even worth $1k each IMO.

Agree.

no doubt.

Can't even see some bringing what they did.

 

[stewie]

sellers should be happy with those sales... :yo:

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw this.

I have so many devices that DO NOT use SD cards.

Plus, I think most people would search for memory cards if they are not sure what their device would use.

 

[JuniperPark]

Allow those domains were FAR overpriced.

 

[james2002]

I think the sellers got good deals.

 

[system0]

Think sdcards could sell for more within a year. It would be pretty easy to throw up a basic ebay affiliate turnkey type script and list sdcards too.

 

[phoenix88]

I have a better understanding now. It never dawned on me that sd cards have a life cycle and will probably be phased out with a newer technology.
You kinda have to step back and look at the whole picture of the domain. how it sounds, present demand, life cycle. to name a few.
When a few of you said the domains were overpriced, that kinda shook my brain a bit.

cheers

SD Cards are being phased out a little in cameras and mobile phones however there is a large increase in the use of micro-SD cards so I still think there would be a great market for this kind of site for the next 3+ years.

 

[Yusio]

The last 4 definitely should have not gotten more than $100/each..

 

[Dorkside]

Looks like more than reasonable prices for all of them.
