10 years ago would have been a valuable name, nowadays it is no different to any other 3 letter .org.

Reseller between 1 and 3K

 

[JackRaymer]

Good!
$1K

 

[wasistdas]

3k estimation. 20-30% up per year. Not bad investment

 

[sinkhole]

DOS = Denial Of Service, the most prevalent server CMTP attacks, and network security organizations are constantly attempting to prevent these.

Its a big industry in network securities. I would say it should be quite valuable for them.

Finally someone in the know.

I wouldn't even consider a offer under $25k at this point.

This is DOS guys...DOS...not only is it a great combo, a common abbreviation, a use for computer programmers, but it has over 1 billion google results...I think estimating this under 5k is a shame...

^IMO

I have a feeling 90% of the people giving appraisals don't even remember DOS.

Thats the whole thing. No one even remembers DOS anymore. Upto Windows 98, Dos was used quite frequently, but ever since XP (and now Vista), Dos has become non existent for the average user. If I were to develop this site, what information could I put up there? If I put up info about DOS, how many people (other than the ultra geeks) will be interested in it? Very very few.

Like someone said, about 5 years ago, this would've been worth around high x,xxx to low xx,xxx. But now, not so much. If you can find an end user, you can probably get 10k, but a reseller here wouldn't pay you more than 2-2.5k. And if you're waiting for 25k, then good luck. This is one name that'll actually keep on losing its value with time as its relevancy keeps on decreasing.

Oh I do remember :smilewinkgrin:
But that was then.

I think the appraisals for ±3K reseller are pretty realistic. You could get a bit more if you find the right buyer (collector or corporation with the same acronym).
25K is too much IMO, at least in present market conditions. Good luck.

It's an appraisal thread, not one to state how much you'd want for it.

I use computers since 1982.

Why are you insulted at appraisals in xxxx range?
You asked for opinions, members gave it.
If you think it's worth 25k that's great too

I have also been using computers since late 80's and I must say that this domain would be priceless 10 years ago. I would rather appraise this domain's value with the spanish word 'dos' (number two) in mind and not the retired operating system, (MS)DOS (Disk Operating System).

Still it's a rare domain and I wouldn't sell below $5k.


BTW, yes I was a very active DOS-user! I still remember how I had to LOADHI the MSCDEX.EXE cdrom driver in autoexec.bat to get enough memory to play Doom. :blush:
