Offers All 50 US States in .info suffix - including FloridaSt.info

[Bill Roy]

I have finally managed to put together the portfolio of all 50 US States in the .info suffix. Along side each domain name is the State population (from 2000), then in red is the OVT w/o extension for just the State name itself, then in blue is the OVT w/o extension for the State name with 'St'.

I would prefer to sell the whole 50 domains as a single portfolio, however, I will take offers on individual names and if the portfolio is not sold within seven days then I will sell the domains individually (hope that seems straightforward and fair).

All domains are at Godaddy and registration between January - April 2008.

Payment by Escrow, buyer pays escrow fees.

This is a multi-forum posting.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Highest offer so far $150 for the whole portfolio! :lol: :lol: :lol:

With overture on many of the domains this offer was not even considered, must have been a late April Fools joke.

Open to serious offers now, post here on the thread or PM me.

 

[Bill Roy]

High offer $550.

Anybody want to make a serious offer?

 

[MikeinFlorida]

It's a very impressive portfolio. I hope you sell it as an entire portfolio. Good luck with the sale!

 

[Bill Roy]

MIF, Thank you. My intention is to sell them as a whole portfolio (it is the last real chance for anyone to get hold of the 'complete set' in either .com/.net/.info/.org). Unfortunately all I have had so far are those trying to steal them, but that is only to be expected.

I've had a few enquiries asking for a BIN, this has been really difficult to try and calculate even using results from the DNJournal sales pages. There are no direct comparrisons obviously to go by, but to cap it off of course this is the entire 50 State portfolio, so all I can say is for an offer to be considered it will have to be $xxx,xxx in size. (Now that has made some people laugh at least.)

The chances are that this portfolio will just simply be a 'hold', there are not too many people out there with the foresight to appreciate what the value of this portfolio is. Holding onto it and maybe one day developing the whole portfolio has always been an option, but as I am not a developer it is a secondary option for me.

Hello Bill,

I certainly can appreciate your efforts, as I am striving to do the same. Nice 'collection' , my pockets do not runneth over though.

Good luck with sale!

All the best,

Frank

 

[Bill Roy]

Dadster, Thanks for the 'good luck', much appreciated.

I have received low-ball offers on two individual domains, but at the price offered I think the 'prospective' buyer was just kidding...........well I hope he was!

To clarify, if the portfolio is not sold within 7 days of its posting I am willing to 'consider offers' on individual State domains.

 

[MikeinFlorida]

Hi BillBo: I would hope that you would hold on to the 50 names for the big bucks. FYI- I've had a long standing offer for the 50 State Real Estate portfolio in my signature in the mid-six figures for a long time. The value for yours may be slightly less at this time or so I'd think since state is abbreviated. But as we know that's hard to tell. The real value is only determined by the real buyer not the wannabes.

Best of luck!

 

[Bill Roy]

Again thanks Mike.

I am withdrawing the offer to sell the State domains in this post singly as from now.

Yes, I agree about holding out. Also, this is probably not the best venue to advertise them on as it is 95% Domainers here and they (just like you and I) are looking for deals on which to make money. It also hurts not having reliable contacts in the States, where the market for these particular domains is. It will most probably end up with some sort of brokerage agreement with someone who can find or already knows of an end user. But there is nothing wrong in that, 20% to a broker who produces a deal through their contacts/knowledge/experience is just the same as selling through the Afternic expanded option, and a great deal better than selling through some other avenues.

But one thing is for sure, your portfolio and mine should be used as giving hope to many domainers and especially newbees, that with research it is possible to discover very good portfolios of names still, but like all good things it takes work and patience.

 

[MikeinFlorida]

Just got around to checking the last post here Billbo and saw you pulled the portfolio some time back. Good thing! It will sell like a good wine in time!!! ...lol... Good luck with it and let me know what happens!

 

[Bill Roy]

I have actually decided to develop them, yes all 50 sites! (Just proves, if proof were needed, how totally mad I am. )

Parking the sites was a nightmare what with trying to optimise them, and as you know domainers (generally) could not see the value in them. So that is where I have been for the past 2 months, setting up a company, working on branding templates, arranging sources of content, etc., etc.. Soon the proto sites will be up (by Christmas at the latest), but it is planned over the next six months to turn them into massive sites full of information about each State (I mean averaging 100,000+ pages on each site).

Will let you know when the first goes up (most probably 2 minutes before I get committed! :lol
