I sold my last-name dot com to a family member but kept the email address. Then a few weeks ago I got an email from Afternic asking for a price for the name, and I figured, why not ask for a huge amount and see if they sell, I could always share it with my family. I put in 500000 as the price, and then asked the broker if there were any updates a few days later. He said it was too high a price. Not to me it isn't. It took me years to actually buy that name, and I wasn't about to give it away for next-to-nothing to a non-family-member.

Note, I also own the .org and surnameS.com like, "Surname's."

What are your thoughts on the price of a surname dot com?

I would sell email addresses.

Probably something you would want to keep for sentimental reasons if nothing else. Might be a problem if your surname (last name) was Ford! I registered my name charlessweeney.com in 1999. There wouldn't be a huge demand for it it, sales-wise but of course I didn't register it to sell it. I still use it for my email today.

I used to have the .net and I let it drop. I was homeless at the time and downsized my portfolio. Still, .com and org were kept.

Hi, Mr. Deleted

For the right person, that emotional connection can far outweigh typical market metrics.
