I got an offer on KarmaKarma.com, mid $xxx, but I think its worth more. I've had it for years and its always been one of my favorites, very memorable and its a positive, 'feel good' type name.

But we all have those, so I'm just trying to get an objective idea of what others think. Thanks.

Sell it.

Generic names are good because there is a bigger end-user market for them. But they're also (by definition) less specific, and so more sparse. In other words, it's only a matter of time before your buyer moves over to another generic domain. Your domain doesn't cater for their exact needs.

Example:

If I wanted to start a business selling car stickers, then carstickers.com would be my perfect specific domain. There's only one perfect domain. Each time I broaden my criteria and search for something a little more generic, there are many more domain options available to me. Eventually I might settle on stickersticker.com But if that's not available or too pricey, I'll just move on to another less specific domain, eg greatcarstickers.com, carstickers.net, cheapcarstickers.com etc etc.

In other words, at your level of genericity, there's a lot of alternatives for the end user, so personally I'd grab the sale.

If you want to sell to the domainer market though, that's a different question. domainer-logic and enduser-logic are very different beasts. To a domainer it might be worth more simply because you can brand it as a 'generic aged 2 word dot com' - end users don't give a shit about that, but it does create value for domainers (bizarrely).

Just my thoughts. I can argue anything well, but I'm not very experienced in domain sales, so I could be talking out of my karmakarma

I'd counter another $300 then accept his counter if it comes. Since you like the name so much, you may as well try to get that price that mitigates the sellers remorse you're experiencing already.

Thanks, I appreciate the helpful feedback.

Is boy george out of jail?

Did the buyer disclose themselves yet?

Could be really good for religious org development, buddhist principal is 'karma'

Is the buyer an agent?

Sounds like a hollywood project too, movie title

mid XXX sounds decent, but if you dealing with end user, probably a little low

I'd try to get some disclosure first

If it's a studio they just get karmakarma-movie.com

Temporary use

Now a buddhist temple/org

hmmm

could be a nice rental domain

but mid xxx is ok value for a spec buy

great name and I don't like dupe names usually

but this one, yeah

already had a hit song tied to it (boy george)

major religious term

so GODGOD.com

jesusjesus.com

allahallah.com

to give you an idea of comparible phrases

if you had one of them what would you sell it for?

mid xxx not bad

but could be much more
