I don't trust that Boots.ca and Suits.ca are legit sales. Whenever I see something that looks wrong it is most always a Private sale, and you can never really find out any information about it. So, I wouldn't use that as a comparison.

No, I can't prove it, but I would wager 1/3 of my net worth that these alleged sales, at a minimum, are not "arm's length" transactions. And I don't care if they did it through Escrow.com or not. I have seen way too many moves made by people, and I don't trust published sales like this....no more than I trusted Sportsbook.mobi for $127,000 that was listed a few years ago.....the cheap home page still saying....."Coming in 2007".

http://www.sportsbook.mobi/ This was listed at Dn Journal for $127,000 a few years ago. Something was wrong then, and still wrong today.

When it comes to published sales, even at respected places, if it seems fishy, there is a very strong likelihood that the sales are fraudulent. Not always, but almost all of the time when you dig a little further things don't look right. It usually leads back to an extention that isn't dotcom, with the obvious implication being that the so-called seller has a vested interest in posting some strong sales to help his or her other names.

14. Boots.ca $19,950 Pvt Sale
15. Suits.ca $18,900 Pvt Sale

Showing parked pages of course right now. I guess they want me to believe that someone would rather have Boots.ca and Suits.ca than close to $40,000 in cash. Maybe it is true.



The Boot.net name has been floating around for years, and it may well be worth low X,XXX, but I remember seeing some drama with the name 3 or 4 years ago, possibly having to do with someone backing out of a sale.

That likely doesn't have anything to do with you, but since Boot.net has been in front of lots of eyes for many years, I would suggest it is worth whatever the most recent legitimate highest offers have been.

Of course, if multiple people PM you with offers higher than $3,000 or so, then that would be a good sign as to its value. It is a decent name that I normally would say is worth very very low X,XXX, but I assume that some of those who are appraising low-mid X,XXX would give you a few thousand right now. If at least one person who appraised a good amount would buy it now for close to their appraisal, then that is a good sign. If an appraisal of mid X,XXX is legit, then that person should be willing to buy it now for at least $3,000 I would think. It is possible.

Thanks for your appraisals.

Actually, I sold this name on T.R.A.F.F.I.C. (1 or 2 years ago, don't remember exactly) for $5k, but the buyer never paid so the deal fell through. Also, I had it in a Sedo auction afterwards where it sold for less, but again, the buyer didn't pay.

These transactions aside, I still think it's an awesome generic and if I still had it I wouldn't sell for less than $3k-$5k.

 

[EYZQ]

T.R.A.F.F.I.C Is a site or what. I have herd about it a lot but dont know what it is! Also, This domain deserves a lot. Some computer engineering company could buy it for highs!

Well, it is an interesting name. I assume it doesn't get any traffic or revenue, so I don't see the value, but if multiple people would pay 3k for it right now then it might be worth more than I think. I don't see it, and I don't believe that there is anyone on this board ready to make an offer of 5k for this name.....not even 3K.....but I could be wrong about that.....Boots.net has value, but Boot.net........I don't know where the strength is.

Not trying to trash the guy's thread, just offering my opinion.

 

[EYZQ]

Well boots are footware but boot is a computer term "boot".

You Boot Up you PC before hangin with DNF

WhoDatDog is right.

Just curious, have you ever sold a name for "highs"?

 

[EYZQ]
