Would appreciate opinions on a recent buy.

270 Overture w/ext

Used to be a large news site.
 
fantastic name- i really really like this one- even tho it isnt a thing, the potential is HUGE
 
I like this one as well. Depending on the buyer and how fast you want to sell:

xx,xxx - low xxx,xxx (end user)
 
mid - high xxxxx, 6 figure is possible
 
And very realistic.
 
mid high xx.xxx
 
This is a huge name.

80-100k reseller

Enduser - mid XXX,XXX
 
Definitely a six figure name... but depending on the pocket of the end user buyer... Acroplex's "Suggest Retail Price" might be a little too hard to reach.

Good Luck!!

Mid 5 figs. reseller would be the goal here.

Potential $1XXk to enduser is my thinking if it comes along.

Beyond these numbers truly demands that one end user when the stars twinkle just right.

If he flipped Supernatural.com for $125k then inside.com can easily surpass 3 times as much. It's a positive, motivational, wide-market word.
 
Based on overture results alone...

626 supernatural.com
63053 supernatural

270 inside.com
14256 inside

I realize numbers do not always determine value, I have plenty of experience. I also know there is no basis to say inside is worth 3 times supernatural besides feeling " lucky " .

Supernatural is extremely targeted and therefore easier to convert and develop. Inside is a very nice brandable word with traffic but does Inside Edition or Intel Inside ring bells ?

I stand by my original opinion, but to see baseless statements thrown around erks me. I base my opinion on experience, numbers and yes a little gut but I invest with my head not my heart. People who invest with their heart end up with so-so names they over paid for sitting pretty in their signature.
 
When will you guys stop thinking about traffic and think about brandability and usage?

"Supernatural" has a narrow market. OK, so people are searching for ghost stories and blurry images of spooky appearances on one's camera lens. Whoever bought it still has it parked at Sedo.

On the other hand, "inside" can be used for information, location, research, technology, medicine, news, sports, government, military - you name it.

Inside has 10 times the results on Google - 330+ million vs. 30 million for supernatural.
 
Ouch Acroplex, you got me where it hurts the most. Yes you are right... different people have different ways of getting a top sale. And we know jquail can definitely do it...

I agree you pose a fair question, the problem I run into is the reality you will NOT 99.9% of the time get paid on brandability. That at the end of the day the traffic and what the majority of traffic is looking for is what counts. The fact supernatural is narrow in use is actually a plus imo.

Inside does have a wide range of uses for brandability, but branding takes big bucks and to pay big bucks for a domain that isn't targetted and then spend bigger bucks to make it so is just wasteful imo. I can be completely off here I am rarely ever right. These are just my experiences.
 
note to self: always ask Acro for appraisals before selling :D


Well, everyone's posting the reseller prices, end user price is hard to estimate here, but anything is possible :)
 
Let's do an over under based on Acroplex's number...

I'm an "Over"
 
Fantastic name for a news portal but other uses are possible (remember 'Big Brother inside' :lol:)
Mid-$$,$$$ reseller

6 figures realistic for end user. Cool name.
