Garage.net on Ebay

[Provider]

I saw domain name Garage.net was on ebay.com

Unfortunately I missed this auction, but as I understand the name wasn't sold.
What do you think this domain name worth? Buyer published an aprisal from afternic that was done almost 2 years years ago.

Probably worth 4k but I can't see a reason to buy a .net unless you already own the .com. All domain names are on the net so you don't have to state the (.net) obvious imo. You would also lose traffic to the .com. However in this case I guess the value is in the keyword and perhaps some type-in traffic.

It's a premium .net, I'm interested of buying the domain but failed to get the reserve.

Watcher, so you were the highest bidder? How much do you think this name worth?

 

[EM @MAJ.com]

Sorry I don't share my appraisal in public because I have intention of reselling it.

 

[Provider]

I thought the name wasn't sold

 

[EM @MAJ.com]

Yes correct. I'm still trying to get hold of the current owner.

 

[Provider]

I see, ok, sorry, I do understand now why you don't want to apraise the domain

TheWatcher, so did you get it ?

Also the high bidder ckrasnova was a non payer ? Why did he leave her positive feedback ?

Sure the .com is better, but there are many reasons to buy the .net...just check on dnjournal. I just sold a 2 word.net to an enduser who did not have the .com for $2xxx. .net is #2 to a lot of people...especially in the US. A few years ago I may have agreed with you (about not buying the .net unless you own the .com)...but I am seeing many businesses use the .net and also .us in the united states and spending xxxx to do it (at least).

It appears that the DN was auctioned and then sold to the highest bidder in a buy it now listing

Item 110025143167 was an auction that did not reach reserve at Sep-02-06 14:31:58 PDT
Item 110028405948 was a buy it now item that sold at Sep-02-06 17:02:37 PDT
Therefore the seller gave the buyer feedback on the buy it now listing

 

[Onward]

If it sold at $3450...I think that is a steal.

Quality dictionary domains will always be a hot commodity.

We bought it from ckrasnova for 18k, it was to late to negotiate with the original owner

Thanks for the reply, is she a member here ?

 

[Provider]

I don't know if "she" is a member here. I know it is kind a lot of money, but my partner insisted we should take this one. Didn't know it was eventually sold on ebay though

[Provider]

Anyway, i think it was a fair price
