closed internetwise.com and .net

I still haven't received in dollar value suggestions from my last post. Would anyone please take a crack at giving an idea of what they think the value is worth. It's only the names I'm selling. There is no web site or traffic to them.
internetwise.com
internetwise.net
Thank you.

 

[updatedsports]

Probably around $40-$50 for the.com and around $20 for the.net

 

[chris]

$35-$75 for both.

Good luck,
Chris

 

Thank you,... SINCERLY...all of you who have replied. This is what I was wondering, (but got rich in the eyes) my fault!!!
I’m just coming on to the scene of domains and web sites, (a bit late I’m sure), but I do have another question?

When searching out sites that sell domain names, how can they ask for such high prices on names that are nothing more than junk? Am I missing something here?? I mean, at least I think I have somewhat of a creative mind…now if I could only function it into a business mind) ))

 

hello Eric!

The pkg. of the two, is to you & your buyers advantage. Never a negative at all..
Clean, easy recall name.. though i think WiseInternet would be my fav. pick..

InternetWise has the impact of 'smart - learning- education - tech savvy , which is attractive.

** The domain's for sale site/auction sites, which you mention..
well, they can put whatever they want to for the asking price or the starting bid... and i hope the owners like their names.. cause they're gonna be sleeping with um ! not selling um 4sure. LOL


Here's a few names, listed at BuyDomains.com These are their 'quciksell' price's.. no haggle.. no auction.. close the deal prices.. (not sure of their success record in sales.. but their asking prices are so far off.

InternetMessenger.com $288

InternetLibrary.com $2288 (sounds kinda 'wise') to me!

InternetBrand.com $1688 (a wise thing to do 4sure)

ActionInternet.com $288 (i think this should be higher)

InternetSystem.net $688 (good name, .net works for 'network's'

InternetAnswers.net $488 (get wise at this site.. good name)

Internet-Teacher.com $288(bet she's wise.. what cha think? My opinion, i believe this one.. hyphen & all is under priced..)

PartWise.com $288 (not so hot.. i wanna be fully wise.. partwise is only 1/2 good j/k.. actually 'auto parts' or PC parts.. pretty good name..

The AVERAGE asking price of this group of names is $788

The pkg you have will turn a profit..not sure how much, but you won't take a loss at all..

GoodName! GoodLuck!

 

They're askiing prices are NOT FAR OFF..
meaning they are realistic..

I didn't make that clear.. last post.

 

Maybe $50 for the pair.

Wanda, I don't think its accurate to use the "silly" prices being asked by buydomains as a benchmark.

Show me where I can find real factual 'sales prices' of domains, and I'll be happy to use that benchmark..

I mean,, do you know for a fact, how many domains are sold at BuyDomain.com for the posted quicksell pricing? You must have some indside info.. or contacts... share it with the group..
I have no clue.. they don't post that ya know..

Do you know of sites which do post 'real' closure prices?

 

[stuff]

I think maybe $70 for bouth

 

Wanda, scanning ebay is good place to start.

"Snoopy says Wanda, scanning ebay is good place to start."

The problem with ebay Snoopy, is that few companies are using them to get a great name, so the selling prices at ebay really arent good examples of what end users will pay.

Internetwise.com and .net sold as pair to the right company,( ie, someone willing to pay for a great name, and who could develop a business and marketing plan for them) could get you $500.

The only public sales info you'll see is from sites that mainly target resellers (or glory days sales at gd).

Using peoples listing prices to gauge value is flawed logic. The reason you can *see* those prices is because they *havn't* sold at the price quoted - think about it.

 

I think its a mistake to look at possible future value to an end-user, surely an appraisal should reflect a names value right now? And thats the essence of what were talking about isn't it?

eBay is a humbling experince for any domain speculator, because the selling price reflects a domains value today, in an open marketplace. Sure some names sell for peanuts, and may later sell to a enduser for far more, but what is the chance of that happening with most of the names there...low... and that is reflected in the selling prices.

As an example say if if I bought a block of land in the middle of nowhere for $50,000, you could hardly appraise it at $1 million just because there is a small chance some rich developer may want to build a grand casino on it in the future? Same thing goes for domains...

 

Ebay is like a trade land auction, you won't find the typical end occupier there and the buyers are buying with the intent to "turn a profit". Valuing based on "miraculous luck" is also pretty pointless too as you've illustrated. You can value based on most likely trade price (ebay) or you can value based on an a typical "end user" rather than a "super user".

But herein lies the problem: its hard to determine the value to an "end user" at the current moment in time unless you have experience or knowledge of many domain sales from which to draw. Given peoples experiences (and sales abilities) will differ, we can only really appraise as to what we think *we* could get for the domain names.

So everyones mileage will vary.

Appraisals are more useful for the "like it" factor than for the value aspect. Maybe instead of appraising values, it'd be better to rank based on a scale of 1 to 10 and the suggest likely markets or something to try and remove the price differentials.

Ebay is full of opportunists that want to grab domains dead cheap. And then they won't pay their transfer fee, threaten you with negative feedback, post lies and Ebay washes their hands clean. I am so tired of that crap recently :sad:

You've had a successful 'closure' experience at e-bay with your names. Your feedback from buyers is impressive, and that one idiot who posted what they did..
well, i'de not let that person stop you from continuing to work & sell through e-bay.
I know of no-one, who has had a better 'closure' ratio then yourself in regards to name name sales on e-bay.

Keep up the good work!

 

Thanks Wanda. I am about to file paperwork to Ebay for defamation, although the best that they will do is clear the text he posted but not the negative feedback. He did not agree to the terms of the auction, and yet he bid on it and refused to pay. Then posts blatant lies that I double charged his CC. First of all, he did not pay and second I don't even take CC's!

I am so pissed!

Right.. i've read your posted 'domain auction' guidelines.. you require paypal. no c'cd's accepted..

i didn't know that he posted all that you mention. i'll go have another look. he must have made more feedback posts?

it is defamation of character, and e-bay can clearly see your positive feedback history. do it.. 4sure.

g/l

 

As a rule ebay take a bask seat in disputes, its definately worth filing a complaint but they rarely do anything more than issue a warning to other party.

Unfortunately fraud/non payment seems particularly bad with domain auctions, but that happens everywhere not just ebay.
