I'm looking for mainly type-in traffic right now and buying on revenue alone. So how would I be able to tell what a decent price is? Will it all vary on the name/seller/etc or is there some kind of standard such as in real-estate?
Hi
if, you are buying "type-in" traffic, then verify it is... first.
type-in traffic is "direct navigation of/by a user to a specific url"
instead of a user going to google,yahoo,bing, etc, they enter where they "think" or know" they want to go by typing your domain in the "address" bar of their browser.
the "mis-spelled words/domains or typo's" are also considered type-in traffic, when a user types in error.
generic type-ins can be the correct spelling of non-tm names and generic type-ins can also be typo's of those same words.
typically multiples for generics are whatever you want to ask or whatever the buyer is willing to pay. ( 2 years, 5 years, 10 years to 100 or more)
those sellers with the most knowledge of the value and potential of generics, tend to get the highest roi.
typo's of generic domains may sell for a "percentage value" based on the previous sale of the correct spelling for that typo, or a monthly/yearly multiple, depending on the domain.
tm type-in traffic is considered less valueable because of the risks associated with infringement, though a market still exists where multiples typically range 10 months and up, depending on the domain.
imo...

Dot com's are the only marketable extension, and that's all that matters.
Hi
though .com is tops...don't believe the hype!
i had received an offer for "3 word .com with 16 letters" in $,$$$ range.
though after i passed on the offer, virtually the same domain in .org extension sold on sedo in same price range.
many things can be marketable, when presented in the right way
