closed aktien-club.eu ( aktien-club.de was sold for US $5,406 )

[italiandragon]

I got this:

aktien-club.eu ("stock club" in German)

Considering that aktien-club.de was sold for US $5,406 or EUROS 4,500 last month (3/14/06) I`m hoping to get at least that amount.

Am I wrong?
Cheers

Hi....that`s ok....but at least it would be nice to learn why...
I always prefer honesty.

Thank you

 

[italiandragon]

Thank you

You should never assume the value of a domain based on previous sales. It appears to me that the original sale was overpriced, i.e. the domain was not worth that much. It appears to be a niche target of 1 person to me, I don't think anybody would be interested other than possibly the person who bought the original. They now have the domain they were after, and .eu is not yet a strong extension, so they are not going to be as desperate for it as they were for the .de. Its a mistake based on assumption that I have made myself before- you need to know there is either one guaranteed buyer, or a whole load of interested parties possible, to give any value to a domain.
Sorry, I wish you all the best, and maybe if you are a really good salesman, you might get the previous buyer to take your domain too, but I would take what I could get for it if I was you, and certainly wouldn't expect the sort of money you are hoping for. Hope this helps
Kind Regards
Chris

Thanks Chris, I know that was a niche and ther buyer of that domain was and is my hope.
Otherwise all I will use will be 10 Euros that I spent for the domain, not a big deal.
Thanks
