closed Bathrooms.net

[JMOT]

Hi,

My 1st post here

I've had this for a while and considering selling it.

bathrooms.net

Value please?

Thanks, Tom

not sure of the value - Looks like a good domain

 

[Ulysses]

It's a name I would love to own.

 

[Onward]

I think this would sell for about 5k in a domainer auction...enduser could get 5x+ that estimate IMO

 

[JMOT]

Thanks for the comments. Also thanks for some of the offers altho some of the low ballers have come out to play

 

[ezimedia]

it is worth more then 5k... but if you want to sell it I would develop a site on it.. and then post it on flippa..

How long have you had the name...

 

[Theo]

George Michael would love it.

It is decent, but you would be shocked at how low it would go for if you listed it here. Those appraising these type of .nets real high are definitely not offering you anywhere near that in the PM's you are getting. That is a fact.

It is, however, the type of name you could get lucky with. But you still have to factor in the odds that you will get lucky, and that determines the fair market value for the name right now. If someone offers you a legit 3K and is willing to pay that to you right now, then you know it is worth at least that. If there is a 3 percent chance that the stars align and you sell it to some corporation for 20K, that hardly makes it worth 20K. That is why an appraisal that is not backed up with a real money offer is generally worth zero and cannot be taken seriously.

Anyone who takes themselves seriously will suggest a price that they would be inclined to pay themselves, or at least somewhere in that range. Everything else is just white noise.

"If there is a 3 percent chance that the stars align and you sell it to some corporation for 20K, that hardly makes it worth 20K."

So if he sells if for 20k, it's not worth 20k? That really doesn't make any sense.

I'm a plumbing, gas and heating engineer and i would probably want to pay about $3k as an end user.

 

[stock_post]

for 3k am going to raise my hand as well

The "problem" with marketing a domain name retail, is not to find the people willing to pay $3K, but to find the one or two people willing to pay much more because it's worth much more to the ONE larger company

As noted, it's a dot-net. But the dot-com is used in the UK, so maybe having customers remember the dot-net is not that bad.

Of course you have to wait years to sell retail. If you had the name a while and have received no "retail" offers it's not a good sign that large "bathroom" companies want it, unless you scared them off with crazy asking prices.

Fortunately for you "Bathrooms" is a product keyword that people often search for (unlike my Shrewd.com). It could earn PPC money with a parked page, develop it as someone said above, or sell it to someone else who will develop it into a better PPC Blog-like page. I think Moped.com just sold to some SEO firm for 35K, but google it and I am not sure how the search terms compare. A PPC expert would give you a better idea of how much one could earn from PPC, and even that income is uncertain depending on SEO success.

Of course the wholesale price of anything, like domains here on DN forum, is a fraction of the potential retail price.

Estibot, worse than most humans, gave it $15K, but more interesting was that it sold in 2007 for $11.5K via Estibot via Moniker

It's a great domain, with a variety of end-users with potentially fairly deep pockets. I'd say $7K reseller.

Unfortunately, the end users' industry, construction and homebuilding, is in a deep slump right now, so if two bidders were willing to pay about $11K in 2007, it might be less today (reseller). Everyone seems to be short on cash these days but homebuilders are even more short on cash.

wonderful wonderful domain. could have utility range anywhere from
1) interiors & designs,
2) fittings, tiles, accessories (which itself has a huge range and corporate potentials globally)

end-user price dificult to predict for this one ... low-mid xxxx

asian countries and other developing countries where constructions are always in zoom , has a good potential currently.

Deep slump in America, yes...

I would take no less than 14K for it.

This is a great name to develop, Selling high end Plumbing fixtures, Tubs, Shower Pans, Water Closets, Sinks, Handicap hardware, Cabinets.. The list is endless.

I could see a Plumbing wholesaler picking this one up for 20K... I would start out a bit higher though, make 20K your rock bottom price.
