[NameMatters]

Forwards to Cnet (A CBS company). Is it the brandability that has paid off here?

Surely... and also the fact that MarketWatch (Dow Jones) is such a popular brand. I think it's a winner since the intent is obviously development and it's sure to profit from slight brand confusion perhaps. For a corporation that size, I think it's a solid buy given the economic 'inconvenience' we face.

Friends,

I own www.moneywatch.asia. Do you think this will have any value in next 1-5 years ?

Thx

The seller appears to have caved-in too quickly to a low 125k offer because moneywatch.com is clearly worth as much or more than ireport.com which would be a minimum of 750k. Personally, if I knew about that end-user the price would be a minimum one-million $ or more which I believe CBS would have paid since to CBS News that is basically chump change.

The only difference is the seller is not Rick

I agree. Already a very well branded name. Price could have been negotiated up.

Then again, hard to say no.

Many networks carry this name as a segment and I noticed numerous high profile newspapers and mags (US News and World Report, LA Times) have a feature with this title.

Good sale and price for this domain name.

 

[QuantumBeam]

good key word combo too

They probably could have gotten a higher price, but as long as both parties walked away from the sale feeling good, thats what counts
