The bid so far is $1.25! I feel it is currently $1.25 more than it should be on this "premium" name I am selling. After someone emailed me and ask for stats on a $1.25 name being forwarded to eBay in a .co extension I figured I would provide some estimates below.
Here is my sales pitch:
Here are your expenses for the year on this "keyword rich" ActionFigure.co domain name. Lets assume it ends at $2.
- You really love the name and found a billboard off the freeway in a small town. $2,000/ month. ($24,000 per year)
- It is such an awesome name you want a kick ass site for it. $10,000 (you found someone on odesk for $10 per hour and after 40 hours you have a logo you can not use. You then find a developer from this board, so your total for the site is 10K)
-Google adwords for the year to get people to your new kick ass site $10,000
-First year expenses are $44,002
When having the billboard designed you will spend about 10 hours back and forth with the creative director and their staff telling them that no you did not forget the "m" and it really is .co and yes .co really exists.
Odds people driving 70mph past your billboard notice it is .co and not .com? Maybe 1%
Odds those people think your billboard has a typo? About 99.5%
The other .5% are domainers headed to their lake homes
Of those .5% that go to your site about 5% of these domainers will collect comics, action figures, and do role playing games (may be much higher).
This is the singular version and not the plural, so being true to your name you will sell one action figure a day (not many of the same, as that may be considered action figures). Assuming each action figure you sell per day is $5.95 and your cost is $3, you will net about $2.95 a day. Before previously mentioned expenses you will retain $1076.75 each year if you pack the action figure yourself each day.
-$42,925.25 First Year
