carves.com- Dictionary word

[domaincoil]

how much you think it worth?

Thanks

It is really worth zero, but you might be able to hustle someone and get $20 for it since you claim it is a dictionary word. This name essentially has no value......dictionary or not. Imagine standing in line at the bank and there is a beautiful woman standing right next to you. She asks you what you do. You tell her that you invest in domain names. She then asks you what your most recent acquisition is. You tell her Carves.com.

You will not be going out on a date with this woman.

well....,First let me thank you for your opinion, It's not that I claim that CARVES is a dictionary word , It is a dictionary word...
but seriously $20 , that's it..? this domain was auctioned on GREATDOMAINS .

about the lady in the bank , you are funny...,but I already have a beautiful lady . (sorry to disappoint you).

It is obvious that your experience with domain names is very rich and impressive,but respectfully I have to disagree with your opinion.

Thank you

other opinions are welcome.

If you had Carve.com, I could see it as a site for selling knives, or maybe an instructional site about carving different foods. But I don't know what you could do with "carves". It doesn't make sense as a plural noun; and as a verb, its tense is awkward. So, on the face of it, I see no more than $xx value. What sort of ideas do you have for developing it? (Bear in mind that many dictionary words are available in .com for reg fee, because they don't present clear development potential.)

Hi randomo
Funny but actually I was thinking that it can be a good site for selling knives.

Thank you so much for your opinion

The end user could market carvings or fretwork, or could be one of 100 citizens in Carves,France. it is a dictionary word, but most of its keyword search results come from typos of curves.com. Its not highly brandable but could to a Brand. $xx to$xxx Good Luck

Hi sbtx

Thank you ,your opinion is much appreciated.

As with any dictionary word, the base, carve, would be more valuable than less-used forms such as carving, carved, carver, carves, uncarved and so on.

One person above is an eternal pessimist, but I would have to go with the pessimists on this one. $xxx to maybe a very low x,xxx retail if a motivated buyer stumles on it (not likely).

It does remind me of Curves, the health club.

Hi Naruto
I got this domain through Greatdomains auction, I had the impression that only high quality domains are auctioned on Greatdomains , According to the appraisals I guess I was wrong.

I paid for it $360, will be holding on to it for a while I guess..

Thank you very much

You are a pretty good sport. I give you credit for that. You way overpaid for this name and you will be taking it to your grave with you (thought I hope you live to be 100).

Always remember, that whenever someone like Great Domains, sedo, or any other domain group is trying to sell you a name, you can pretty much be guaranteed that the name is overpriced by a million miles. You can take one thing to the bank, and that is the fact that sedo and the Great Domain people are not in the business of charity. When they see a good name in their system they take it for themselves. They try to push the dogshit onto unsuspecting newbie domainers and anyone else they can find who doesn't know the value of names.

They are all FRAUDS in my book, and I instantly delete any email I get from any of them. When someone with lots of knowledge about a product is offering to sell/broker that product to someone without lots of knowledge, it is a mismatch and it is best to stay away.

They took advantage of you, but you allowed yourself to be taken advantage of. There is zero chance that any of those people involved in this sale would ever suggest to someone they cared about that they buy this name for $360. That means that they are selling a rotten product and cannot be trusted. Every honest businessman knows that the only honest business is when you sell a product that you would actually buy for yourself at that price.

That is why you see pizza shops and restaurants in small towns stay open for 40 years. They are selling an honest product at a price they would pay themselves. And they use the product. Same thing with a company like Apple. They sell products that increase the enjoyment of fellow human beings, and the people purchasing the products improve their lives in exchange for some cash. And the people at Apple use the products that they are trying to sell to you. I don't even have Apple products, but they became the biggest company in the world because they are selling a worthwhile product at prices that they would pay themselves.

An example of a rotten product is when the banks are selling you money in the form of loans in order to buy a house for zero dollars down, yet they are unwilling to take the risk of you not paying back the money, because the rotten product (the overpriced house) is a bad deal. This is how you destroy the world financial system, when rotten products get pushed around.

That is also why this forum is an absolute ghost town of horse manure, where it was once an action place with lots of activity. Lots of dogshit was allowed to infiltrate, and the only thing worse than the lousy names floating around are the lousy people who allowed all of the scammers to ruin the forum for years......without calling them out on their scams.
