To properly develop it and promote it, it will take a sizeable capital chunk. It could work as a long term investment --just seems very risky to me. | |

Country: | Re: Property.com Ties for #1 Sale of 2005 To Headline a Huge Week for Domains wow, I think you are completely wrong on this one, property.com might be a steal actually at this price, truly one of the top 3 realestate names on the planet! i.e. Realty.com, Realestate.com, Property.com...and for less than a mill? It's a very fair price imo...what a truly top gem domain...with property prices soaring and so much money to be made in that market segment its a very wise buy...Just my 2 cents.. Chris and 750k doesnt hurts Rick's checkbook one little bit, trust me! -drop of water in the bucket! (all that hard earned PPC profit..lol)

This was a good price for this domain ... to and enduser its value is easily in the 7 figure range...go take a look at what some of the big property dev companies make on sales yet alone spend on marketing, advertising and property rentals for offices....$750k is a drop in the bucket....

Country: | Re: Property.com Ties for #1 Sale of 2005 To Headline a Huge Week for Domains At least this looks like a real sale - unlike the #5 on the overall list.

It's not worth 10% of it (I'm speaking domain only, as realestate.com is developed). | |

Country: | Re: Property.com Ties for #1 Sale of 2005 To Headline a Huge Week for Domains Seems a fair price to me. Property.com would have more value than RealEstate.com to a UK end user, not sure about other countries. Put it this way, $750,000 = 1 small flat in certain upmarket areas of London. - Rob Last edited by Leading Names; 08-10-2005 at 08:00 PM.. |

DNF$: 325 Location: Florida | Re: Property.com Ties for #1 Sale of 2005 To Headline a Huge Week for Domains Property.com was a steal at that price. I had bid on it at $1 Mil, but the seller didn't want to do 4 monthly payments of $250K, and then didn't want to include the database and content that was on there for that amount, and instead went with Rick's all cash now offer at $750K for the domain only. Fully developed it's got the potential to create a huge cash flow that certainly would more than justify that acquisition price. Congratulations to Rick!

Country: | Re: Property.com Ties for #1 Sale of 2005 To Headline a Huge Week for Domains I estimate $75/day PPC. $20/day with what he's got there now. Kind of late in the game to try and emulate realty.com or realestate.com. The cost of the name would be a miniscule % of what it would take to even attempt to compete with those sites.

Country: | Re: Property.com Ties for #1 Sale of 2005 To Headline a Huge Week for Domains Property is more than real estate. It's cars, gold coins, collections, yachts, domains, art etc. It's the ultimate domain about OWNERSHIP.

Well, maybe you should consider yourself lucky. Sometimes deals are meant to fall a part. I think the domain is a high $XX,XXX- low $XXX,XXX name. That's just my opinion. Still, Rick owns quite a few more AAA domains than I own, and has made a ton of money, so he is doing something right. It will be interesting to see what he does with it. | |

It's better to have focused traffic.

Country: | Re: Property.com Ties for #1 Sale of 2005 To Headline a Huge Week for Domains A gateway on "property" would have all the focused traffic that you can imagine. Frankly, I don't see the domain was bought with the intention to just sit parked on some PPC engine.

Yup. $20 a day is quite a ways away from the $300 a day he has to make just to break even on the "land," never mind the capital improvements necessary for a possible major site. The domain isn't even in the same city as RealEstate.com --nevermind the same ballpark. It's a long shot, IMO. | |
