I have some hyphen-sperataed domain names.

Would like to sell the following domains, I am looking for a professional estimation of each of them:


Game-City.com

New-News.com

Work-Station.co.uk



Thank You!
 
Personally I view hyphenated names just the same as registering a .biz or something to that effect. Someone probably has gamecity.com, and unless there isn't already a site there, game-city.com is worthless because people will just type it in without a hyphen and stay at the other site.

Reg fee.
 
New-News - $0

Other two are not bad - $50 each

good luck
 
Game-City.com $65

New-News.com $0
* If "News-News.com" Reg fee to $20.

Work-Station.co.uk ??? but may be reg fee.
*I do not know co.uk worth well.

Good luck.

I agree with the previous posts, I would also add though that a domain with hyphon's can be useful if fully developed and optimised for search engines, as the domain name is still a factor in search engine rankings.

If you search on almost any subject you will find top page results which are using hyphenated URL's.

But without content just the name is not worth much IMO.

I own www.travel-shops.com and www.shop-city.com but decided the best way forward for me was to create content on them, rather than selling for the name alone.

Exactly.
And easy to read for non-English speaker.

I have travel-shop.com, but this value is under 1% compare with travelshop.com in domain marketplace. May be 0.3% to 0.5%

Thanks for the great feedback.. will think about the option of developing a website for Game-City.com & New-News.com
