sex.be

not as lucrative as the .com but .be is pretty good. appraisals plz. my last post was ignored re: libel.us

Worthy,

Unfortunately, value can only be assigned by what the market will bear, and right now I don't believe there is a market for .be, except maybe in Belgium.

Because the domain happens to be the single most valuable word in the english language, you might be able to nudge a little more value out of it, but it is still not going to be much. I would suggest developing it yourself or putting it away for a few years and seeing what the market looks like then.

As for libel.us, the same applies, only to a lesser extent. .us domains may be worth something someday, but not much today. Again, I think you would be wise to develop it or put it away for a few years.

As for your sales list, I don't think you could get $300 for it, much less $300,000. The domains are good, but the extensions are all wrong.

I highly suggest you spend some time reading old posts in the appraisal forum to get a good idea of how the appraisals work, then spend some time in the sales forum to see what domains actually go for. You might be a little shocked.

I wish you the best of luck. It's a tough business.

Sex.be - Decent. Not sure how much the .be bring in.

(But I think the limit on signatures is 4 lines. You may want to change that. http://www.dnforum.com/rules.php Rule 8.)

Frontrow, thanx for you honest reply. i must admit it made my stomach churn when i read it, all those $$$ wasted registering unvaluable extensions.

for sex.be i was offered just over $8000 at afternic but i believe its worth more than that. for now,Frontrow, i will take up your advice and keep it for few years.

i just hope ICANN (or whatever) would stop introducing new extension as it only devalues the existing extensions (with the exception of .com .net)

abusive, thank you for correcting me, i've altered my signature.

I am certainly not the foremost expert around here. If that was a legit bid, then I would be happy to stand corrected. But I would have to stand by my assertion on the domains that are not "sex.xxx"
