I bought a premium domain name

[ibuyandselldomains]

It only cost $115. It is one of those domain names that is a potential million dollar name. it would be a stretch to get a million dollars out of, but it's not out of its range. Is this one of those too good to be true moments? A realistic number on this domain name would probably be some where around 20k, upto Maybe 200k or so. It is a .org Do you think I got it guys?

 

[ukbackorder]

Well I don't want to be too skeptical but it is highly unlikely. Without knowing the name of course we can't say. The fact that it's a .org doesn't bode well immediately as it is already worth probably a tenth of the price of a .com. So the kind of names in .org that would fetch 20k to 200k are not going to be going for $115.

 

[ibuyandselldomains]

I don't know. But there are only a hand full of domain names in .org that would even likely fetch 20k, but this domain name is most likely one that would. I am not gonna say what domain name it is until I find out if I got it or not. Either way, I will let you guys know what domain name it is.

 

[ibuyandselldomains]

I will tell you right now though that if I had this name in .com I would expect to get somewhere between 200k and 2 million for it.

as @RobM explained, there can't be an advice without knowing the domain name

Best! H

 

[ibuyandselldomains]

Ok. When I find out whether or not I got it, I will post the domain name here, and you guys can take a guess on whether I got it or not.

Hi


don't make bait titles

make sure you have possession of the domain, before promoting it.

imo...

 

[ibuyandselldomains]

I am not promoting it. Just wondering if anybody else has had experience purchasing a domain name, that seems to good to be true, and what their outcome was basically.

 

[ukbackorder]

Not very likely. When you get into the realms of 200k domains people generally know what they're worth and will buy/sell accordingly. When I sell a domain for 5 or 6 figures I have generally paid 5 or 6 figures for it. To be honest judging by some of the domains you've put up for appraisal I'm very doubtful this domain is worth anything. However as Biggie says, without knowing the domain, or whether you even own the domain, this thread is a bit pointless.

Ok. biden.org Did I get it or not?

 

[ukbackorder]

No. With biden.com, biden.net and biden.us not being used (although the .com amusingly redirects to an alzheimers page) the person I assume you are aiming this at is not interested. Outside of the US president there are not many people with this surname so that potential market is tiny. Another use would be some kind of political blog but that would certainly not result in a lottery-type million dollar sale.

 

[ibuyandselldomains]

No, you are right. They told me that some guy posted it for sale on whatever site they listed it, but he wasn't the owner. But I got my money back.

 

[ibuyandselldomains]

I paid $115 for it, but I never really got it, which I didn't think I would. It's a $20,000 name.

It's really not

 

[ibuyandselldomains]

Get it. I will give you 20k for it on payments right now. $50 down, and $300 per month.

 

[ibuyandselldomains]

If you think you can get it for less than 20k to swing the deal, let's do it.

 

[Mr. Deleted]

I would not pay 20k but if I could get it I’d pay xxxx for it, to redirect it to trumps campaign

Yes. And it was too good to be true

I hope it turns out okay for you though.
