what snapnames caught for me today

**wwww** · 06-05-2002, 10:03 AM

Okay, this is what snapnames got for me today:

0m.com

I know that the zero makes it less worthy, but it's still a very rare two letter .com name :razz: .

When I attempted to snap it, I thought of something like zero mess webhosting or zero mountain surfshop, or...

What do you guys think of that domain?

Thanks!

it's still a very rare two letter .com name

sorry to be pedantic but "0" is a number and not a letter - its a 2 character .com.

Still rare and desirable, but not in the same league as 2 letter domains valuewise.

oops, I actually wanted to write number..sorry :embarrass

What do you think it could be worth?

**mole** · 06-05-2002, 11:06 AM

Strange name indeed. Very curious looking.

I would say $200-$500 bucks for someone who is drunk and buying names. Makes for a very interesting logo design.

Good luck!

Since I'm not drunk, I'll give you $50 for it. Instant PayPal payment.

**mole** · 06-05-2002, 11:08 AM

Nah, I'll make it $100. Instant payment. ?

thanks, but I am going to use it...I was just wondering about its value.

**mole** · 06-05-2002, 11:15 AM

Value? Only $150 max. Okay, I'll give you $150.

I'll think of it...

any other opinions?

**devolution** · 06-05-2002, 12:57 PM

I'd be surprised if you couldn't get around $1,000 for it.

Yes I think also maybe around $1000
Example 0d.com has a bid $890 in afternic http://www.afternic.com/index.cfm?a=...listid=1341150

2 letter com -s or 1 number one letter names are very valuable.

**stuff** · 06-05-2002, 01:34 PM

also t0.com $495 http://www.afternic.com/index.cfm?a=...&listid=136511

I used to think domains with a zero were pretty worthless, but look at the mobile (cell) side of BT (used to be BT cellnet) now O2. (leter 0)

Iterestingly they seem to have 02.co.uk and com (zero) and maybe more, there are too many combinations of this (IMO) bad company name.

I think whoever had the zero domains have probably sold them for a small amount, just glad to get rid of it and probably not realiseing who they are dealing with.

At least BT do seemed to have covered a lot of the mistakes with their new name.

I am glad that old owner of that domain was that eager to get rid of it, that he just let it expire.

Thanks for your input guys...I guess I was pretty lucky to get that name. I think it was only possible because it dropped muuuch too early (one month after expiration and one day after "whois points back to local db..."), even if it was registered with netsol before. It looks like the big guys (especially ultsearch which owns some two char domains with a 0 in it) weren't ready yet.

It made my day

**mole** · 06-05-2002, 02:52 PM

Yeah, WWWW

Sell it to me for $150 and you can go buy some real bong water to celebrate instantly!

I will sell it to you for $ 850

...plus you will be invited to my bong party and the honour to drink the water in the end will be yours

**mole** · 06-05-2002, 03:10 PM

No way ho se, I'll starve for the month and give you $200, if you still want bong water instantly

Think carefully, no one will by such a weird name. There is no commercial value there you know. Hard to make revenue off that name.

And a zero based business model is disaster

**wwww** · 06-05-2002, 03:27 PM

just starve a little more and pm me a more reasonable offer, if you are really interested...

I got loads of bong water at the moment...and trust me, ppl who actually consume that stuff also like weird names
