YOUR biggest .us sale?

[peter]

What is the most you have sold a .us name for (please post the name as well to make it intresting).

I have only had like $60 sales but I know I can get more for the ones I have.

I sold BondBrokers.us but cannot disclose the price due to an understanding with the buyer.

I refused $9000 for Genetics.us and $3500 for Nanotech.us

 

[peter]

I can not beleive you refused $9k for genetics.us !!

anyways, did you sell bondbrokers.us for more or less

 

[Wot]

The only way is up!Many offers. I sold one for, $950 last year, did not even know I had sucessfully registered it until contacted by the buyer!

Have a small selection at www.perfectname.us

Incidentally I bought "pkl.us" just recently. 'twas my first aftermarket domain purchase, strictly for personal email use (a backup domain actually). It was late at night, I settled on US$180, and just wanted to get some opinions here. I don't want to cry over spilt milk (and don't plan to sell the domain), it just helps to learn from experience.

I'm clueless about appraisal values, I just wanted the domain for personal reasons and saw that it was likely not in use and took a shot. Solely in that regard though, I think I got carried away a bit over what I could easily afford...

Funny thing, I'd self-justified my interest in the .US since I've been paying $50/yr for my .CC email domain thru eNom and figure switching domain would save $ in the long run. Plus I was still frustrated about a lost opportunity with a related .ORG (http://www.dnforum.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=198823#post198823). Oh the irony

BTW what's the standard procedure to conduct domain purchases? Seller had mentioned that this was a quick deal, I'm curious.

P.S. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum...

If you are happy with the price you paid for pkl.us and you are going to use it then the price is right!

CheapTobacco.us $50 sold.

I am not trying to sell any .US at this point in time, but have accepted $250 each for a couple I received unsolicited offers for. The buyer may not want the names disclosed so I won't do that. In general though, selling .US now is like selling eggs instead of chickens. If you wait a few years you are likely to get 25 times more money for each one. I'm more than willing to wait and develop the better names while waiting for the general public to learn about the extension.

MYTHOLOGY.US

 

[hhunterjr]

Timechange,

Did you sell mythology.us or are you saying that you don't believe that .us domains will increase in value over time.

 

[hhunterjr]

Time change has just contacted me and cleared up my question.

He actually sold mythology.us.

how much

 

[hhunterjr]

Time change didn't say how much he sold Mythology.us for and that may be confidential.

I don't think that the dnforum.com feature (of getting emails from responses to threads that you've subscribed to) is working at the moment.

You may have to PM Time Change or email him to ask about the selling price of mythology.us.

I don't think any domain domain name (undeveloped) at the moment is worth $100K.

 

[hhunterjr]

To an end user, doctors.us may worth $100k (even undeveloped). It would be a one time investment for the end user and the end user could probably write that off on taxes. After being developed and advertised, the domain doctors.us could get the investment back in a hurry.

But for a reseller - spending $100k on a domain and then trying to sell the name for $150K or $200K to make a profit is a big gamble. I'm not a big gambler like that. But if you're a big gambler - then go for it.

In either case (as an end user or reseller) I would try to get some type of verification that the big companies were bidding that much on that domain right now. It may very well be true or the seller could be feeding you a line of B.S.

i agree,,,i still think big companies haven't figured out how to use domains and websites for marketing,,in other words companies advertsing budgets on monthly news and media print are huge as compared to a one time investment for a name and website or different names and websites that goes 24x7 from that point on with 0 advertsing expenses.

doctors.com is advertising a cookbook and some health links, not a lot of money there.

doctors.net - undeveloped.

doctors.org - undeveloped

doctors.info/biz/cc/ws - undeveloped.

About the same for the singular names, zilch.

"Big health companies were bidding" right, in his dreams they were.

I don't see $100k anywhere this name, singular or plural. Reg fee.
