Some days ago I acquired values.com.

I love the name and I bought it for developing a suitable project. Nevertheless I'm quite unsure about the fair value.

Best regards

Tim

**Devil Dog** · 06-25-2007, 06:15 PM

I like it. Home values come to mind when thinking of developement.

**BELLC1** · 06-25-2007, 07:19 PM

I'll offer $1000 to take it off your hands so you don't have to worry about it...

**EJS** · 06-25-2007, 08:40 PM

Andy (the former owner) agreed to sell it to me for $12,500 (on June 3) but then you made a better offer while my attorney was writing up the agreement. The deal wasn't done on any forum, so it's a lesson learned.

I think it's a nice name.

**BELLC1** · 06-25-2007, 08:45 PM

It really is a good name. Save it for the next TRAFFIC auction and put a high reserve on it. You won't lose.

**Onward** · 06-25-2007, 08:50 PM

I would say this name is worth 35K - 50K end user

Reseller would be 10-20K

**TheLegendaryJP** · 06-25-2007, 10:14 PM

I love this name. Easy $XXXXX. Where, well I think $20k plus easily and much more possible even from reseller.

Sorry to hear you lost out Elliot, I know I had 2 back out on me this last week. It sucks I know :(

**Dr Nump** · 06-25-2007, 10:20 PM

$30k and up.

**BonkersTwo** · 06-25-2007, 11:05 PM

Prediction after seeing the last traffic conference. Most domains unless really good Top Shelf domains usually go for $5,000-$40,000.

UNLESS the domain is developed.

dPreview.com was purchased from my information for $5,000,000+ WHAT A SUCKY domain. What a great website.

Great Websites will always out sell, domains, sorry Frank Shilling and Kevin Ham. Domains will always be just domains. Great Content is priceless, domains will always have a ceiling price.

The $3,000,000 sale was for a developed website.

The $1.8 million was "at this point" (speculation at this point) the senior.com owner. At least that was what I was told, not from anyone on Monikers team.

So take values.com put a few thousand in to it, develop it to something that you love and it will sell for much more than $25k.

If you put in a reserve over $50k will not sell, IMHO.

The ------Fund.com owner put no reserves, and most sold for $10k-$30k each. I don't know if I would of done that my self but it was a great gamble and the domain owner won.

**Creature** · 06-25-2007, 11:26 PM

Nice name for a shop, perhaps one of those arty nick-nack shops. $20k perhaps

Very true!

At first I was a little bummed to see the low prices some of the domains went for in the TRAFFIC auction. Then I saw this:

Offers Turned Down:

Six.com $1 Mil
Scotland.com $3 Mil
PressReleases.com $2.5 Mil
Stuff.com $1.5 Mil
Slots.com $4.5 Mil
Draw.com $1 Mil
Commodities.com $1.75 Mil
Student.com $3 Mil
PuertoRico.com $3.5 Mil
DSL.com $1.5 Mil
HorseRacing.com $4.5 Mil
Cats.com $2 Mil
Dermatology.com $4.5 Mil
Naked.com $1.5 Mil
Meopause.com $1.5 Mil
Auction.com $4.5 Mil
OBGYN.com $1 Mil

I think this is a good reason to still believe in the value of great generic domain names. If just half of these were accepted, imagine what people would be saying about domain values. I'll bet it be more encouraging!

I agree with BonkersTwo, that you give values.com the best chance of bringing a high price tag if you invest a little time and money developing. Just my two cents.

Very nice name! I would buy it for 20k any day!

Mr. Deleted · 06-26-2007, 05:20 AM

Blogster.com sold for 275K, as a developed website. This name could be used for a lot of things, but I would go with the homes industry. Lot more money. If you do that, then sell, you should do well on this one.

**domainah** · 06-26-2007, 08:36 AM

20-30K reseller

**biggedon** · 06-26-2007, 09:02 AM

it would be foolish to sell for less than $100K imo

**BonkersTwo** · 06-26-2007, 12:06 PM

Guess who purchased blogster.com??

Most of those bids, the bidder KNEW what the reserve was and had no intention of going over.

Hence Micheal Mann's email that I posted, if I didn't post here I will post it here as well.

Mr. Deleted · 06-26-2007, 12:09 PM

I do know who bought Blogster.com

But I was just making a point, content is the key to bigger paydays

**Focus** · 06-26-2007, 12:22 PM

I will give you 20k today for it
