i dont know. but if you did, would someone buy it?? that is my question. more to the point: would someone jump on it?? We all know how it is selling domains, buyers mostly looking for bargains that they can pick up for peanuts, so there is always a disparity between price expectations. if people are generally paying 2-3 years rev now (as someone above claimed) then where would i expect to see real liquidity as a seller: 1 year rev??? if so, yes that's just plum crazy. (imho)
as regards the name you bought, I'd assume if you bought it for $69 it probably has some value apart from the traffic/revenue, no?
if you plan to own it for 3 years, will it still be paying out at the same level as it is now?
lastly, If you purchased it for $8, would you feel the same?
if i posted it for sale, i doubt someone would buy it on the forum for my price and yes, it does have value beyond the traffic.
i plan to own until someone offers enough to entice me to sell it or it stops earning revenue one day in the future.
one thing many don't consider is...a name could make $10 a month this year and make $25 a month next year, the earnings don't always have to go down.
i bought a name on dnf a few years back that was making a few $ a day. then i changed keyword and it started making $$$ a day
one thing i can say, if you read the domains w/traffic threads, anytime there is a goody, it gets snapped up fast.
most of the traffic w/rev names i have, have been earning since early ovt and it doesn't matter if i pay $8 or $800 for a name, the tactics remain the same
I would rather let me lower income/lower traffic names expire and drop (already doing that a lot) rather than go to the trouble of selling them for peanuts to bottom-feeder domainers.
David, i do the same thing
right but what about a domain that's making say, $500/yr in parking. its interesting to think about, but also must be thought about from a practical standpoint. a market exists where buyers and sellers meet. if buyers and sellers do not meet, there is no market. If buyers want to pay only 1x and sellers don't want to sell under 2x - 3x, that makes for a very weak market. buyers obviously don't value the traffic much, and sellers aren't willing to sell at a loss compared to what they would make just by continuing to hold the domain, unless they have an urgent need for a lump of cash now. just thinking/rambling .... (again i am not talking about generics here, just expired domains)
think like this...
if you have a name making $500 a month, no market is needed, because that's a domain you don't have to sell.
if i have one that makes $1 a month, i never have to sell it until reg fee reaches $12.01
right now, you'll find more buyers for traffic/rev names than you see sellers offering them.
