For Sale depress.com

[lordbyroniv]

I was just bidding in an auction for depress.com this afternoon. The name dropped on Wednesday and got kicked into auction. It looked like it was just me and somebody else in the auction. Domain sold for $4800.

Im just curious as to what people believe the domain is worth? Obviously, depression.com or depressed.com would have been better names but depress.com is the root.

Any opinions as to worth? Was $4800 a steal? overpaid ? Or just right?

Thanks in advance

Sounds about right, one word domains are great and this one has a good implication in health industry.

I woulda thunk maybe 30k? You think Im stretching it? I guess I would have to see the traffic

was it on pool or snap?

It definitely wasn't Pool or Snap because I had my eye on this domain. I think eNom Clubdrop got it. The WhoIs info shows eNom...

 

[lordbyroniv]

It was Enom

Just me and another bidder it seemed

He woulda had it for 1500 but I jacked it up to 4900 before I gracefully bailed out

I don't think that was cheap. Not a very common term at all, depressed is much better and makes a lot more sense. Hard to make a big splash in this niche as your competing with .edu and strong health sites.

 

[lordbyroniv]

Well, I ultimately agreed with you - thats why I bailed out at $4900, but I guess I felt maybe I was being cheap and the ultimate high bidder got a bargain. I thought if it landed at Snapnames it woulda gone for 20-30k and that Enom was a bad forum.

Anybody else believe that $4900 was too rich? Just right? or a bargain for depress.com?

Thanks

depressed.com and depression.com are much better. "depress" being the verb is a bit of a rare term. The most common use (and still rare) is to "depress a button", but the more common use is of course to "press a button".

$4800 is too much I think.

 

[lordbyroniv]

Glad that I bailed out at $4900 now that everybody is agreeing with me

Any other thoughts? Id hate to see this domain at 50k in 2 months

Don't worry about that happening - the context is all wrong. In the clinical context, if I visited depress.com I'd be looking for something to make me feel worse, not better.

 

[lordbyroniv]

Agreed

I'm confused. You bailed out at $ 4,900. and the "ultimate high bidder got a bargain".

But, it went for $ 4,800.

Are you saying that if you wanted to bid you would have had to bid $ 4,900.?

I was also one of the bidders. And, I doubled checked the records, it went for $ 4,800.

I think you will regret bailing out because someone placed $10k bid in greatdomains and its still reserve not met.

 

[lordbyroniv]

Yeah, the guy wants 55 k or something like that

As regarding the 10k bid - who knows if its not a shill?

No regrets anymore on that one - I dont like the name I have definitively decided

 

[lordbyroniv]

Did this domain ever sell for $10,000 - the reserve was met in a most recent auction

Did the transaction go thru?
