$160 on a good day. For someone who collects suchs manuals and has a solid biz around them, it might be worth 1.8K.

I completely disagree with your evaluation. Two word with exact search terms.... However I truly appreciate you taking time to appraise my domain.

While not wildly popular on one hand you have similar names and field selling from 10 years ago to this very year in the $XXXX range, both plural and non.

In saying that an end user may pay a health 4 figures or perhaps very low 5 (top end). A reseller (domainer) would be more inclined at $1k-$3k if serious.

I am glad I do not have your keen foresight lol. Do a google search for the exact terms of my domain "Instruction Manuals" the very first website that comes up has a active community of over 2 million people... While there content is more in rich, I have the better domain.... Of course that does not always mean success, however good news is traffic stats indicate lots of direct type in. 600,000 plus searches a month from google just for those two words, no including all the various combinations.

I 100% agree with you. End users are always almost willing to pay more.

Respectfully, that is a given in virtually any circumstance.

The name in my opinion is worth high $xxx. It's a relevant, popular, and applicable keyword... but where's the money in this industry? Writing instruction manuals? Having a hoard of hard-to-find instruction manuals to sell at a premium?

It's worth holding onto. But don't go holding out for a $x,xxx offer.

None taken, thank you for your appraisal.

The idea was to have a huge database of instruction manuals, and have to user come to the site looking for the respective manual for their product. I would make money off ads like many of sites. One option would be to sell some manuals that are copyrighted and cannot be distributed for free. Another option would be to offer a hard copy solution and print manuals and send in mail for those who wanted for a fair price. There are companies who do this and are very profitable. www.manualsonline.com has a community of 2 million people. They are a very popular site, and there is relatively low competition other than them and a few other sites that are not ranking well in the search engines.

I'll tell you as an end user of products, almost everything I own has a TM. However, I throw it away almost immediately after opening the box. Luckily, many manufacturers have an online PDF. If it's free to redistribute or not this is golden.

I would have to say low XXXX reseller to mid/high XXXX end user who can develop it out in such a way to offer PDFs or link to them and monetize the website with long tail organic keyword searches selling hard copies, newer brandproducts or similarproducts.

In fact, to be honest, I looked up "LG optimums G instruction manual" yesterday.

Good luck!
