closed 2 Premium Forum Names

[BGray]

I recently picked up a couple of high end forum names and am curious to see where your valuations are versus what I spent.

Please appraise:

PhoneForum .com

and

ShoppingForums .com


Thanks!

I think PhoneForum is the better of the two. Lots of new phones / technology to discuss. Low xxxx

Thanks for the feedback guile. [I see you have a couple of dandies yourself]

There's no doubt that both of these names have huge market potential.

Nice names guys! Looking at sales over the last year, I would say $1k-3k in the domain market and up to $10k retail. Am I close?

Agree with guile's comment. How about something similar to fatwallet.com for shoppingforums.com?

Cheers,

Nice list BidNo!
Wish I'd known about a few of those when they were going on. Seem pretty cheap.

We're on the same page with ShoppingForums

$10k at least I'd say.

There have been some much larger forum domain sales that have gone unpublicized. I know this for a fact since I sold a couple. I'll leave it up to the buyer to decide if they want the sale price to be public.

 

[BGray]

Agreed. These two alone would fit in the top half of that list. I've got at least one more that would also go from last year.

I think phone doesnt make a lot of sense with forum sorry, sure you can make a forum for anything, but i think that doesnt even compare to fishingforum, tennisforum or the other ones quoted..and the plural for your shopping domain hurts the value a lot too in my opinion, contrary to other appraisals (and I wonder if someone who is appraising something at 10k would actually make a 20-30% reseller offer..I doubt it to be honest ) I think for real resellers those are low $$$ to mid $$$ domains

Hmmm. I would say if cooking forum & cancer forum etc are only fetching $800, $2k mark then phoneforum (which i like) would get somewhere in between. Possibly $3k on its best day. It is a nice domain.
I would agree with domainah the 's' destroys the shopping forum. Otherwise it can only serve to be a directory listing for other shopping forums! $xx mid

Good one. I can say middle x,xxx $ anyway I wonder did you bought it from somewhere else or registered unregistered domain ?
