I have received an offer of $31,000....any thoughts?

Dr. Domaining · 04-29-2005, 04:58 PM

It seems like a very fair price. I would accept this offer. If anything I would recommend to make a counter offer closer to $50,000-$60,000 and see if they bite.

Good luck with the sale!

Run all the way to the bank!

What kind of traffic does it get, and how much does it make?

**steven22** · 04-29-2005, 05:02 PM

The name made $1496.00 last month

Take it

**biggedon** · 04-29-2005, 05:22 PM

take no less than 3.5 yrs rev.

It might be wise to hold out. It's only 24 months worth of revenue. If it's a reseller then by all means sell. If it's an end user I think you should strive for more. I wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

I would keep it, that is great passive income. Unless they give you an offer you cannot refuse.

Dr. Domaining · 04-29-2005, 07:23 PM

I agree. IMO I think that you could get between $60,000 and $120,000 for it from the right end user, if the traffic and earnings are consistent.

i would hold on it as long as it make a steady revenue

I'd reconsider looking at your stats and possibly accepting this offer. The RodeoHouston.com event is held once a year and it is in the month of March. So all the overtures and traffic should have skyrocketed last month, but then may dwindle down drastically for the remaining 11 months of the year. Have you noticed this pattern? How long have you had it?

steven .. I'm guessing the income starts to plummet soon after the March Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo http://www.hlsr.com ends. I would think that $31,000 is in the range for the name. Now if it made $1496 EVERY month, that a whole new story... but I'm sure you know that.

NameYourself brings up a good point. I didn't do any research. I just assumed that the domain was getting pretty consistent traffic and revenue which is why I stated, "if the traffic and earnings are consistent." They are all things to take into consideration. $31,000 maybe a fair offer after all depending on what the traffic is like throughout the rest of the year.

The name should generate between 5000-7000 in PPC revenue from Sedo this year. Someone with much higher payouts should make much more.

If that is the case then accept the offer. You could still get as much as $50,000-$70,000 from the right end user but the chances are less likely. In the end it's your call.
