Nice one Joe! Definitely develop it! As you know, the .us market is not the best right now.

Maybe import roses from South America for mail order, or from Miami for that matter. Drop ship would be best to avoid warehouse costs, double shipping. Roses around here can be had for $20/5 dozen, or even less at spots. I know there can be problems shipping live plants across certain state lines (CA especially), not sure about cut flowers. Or maybe just develop an informational site about roses, types, care & maintenance, etc, then affiliate with 1800flowers, and similar.

I would say this is 2-5k reseller (although if I had it...I would not sell it in that range)...I agree with the comment to develop...

Nice .us name.

One of the better possible .us domains, as the TLD makes a lot of sense since people want local flower delivery, and this is the kind of thing people turn to the internet for. A very brandable domain too. OTOH, the .us market isn't doing that well now. I'd estimate a reseller value of $3K to $5K.

Finally Joe, a good .us (I happen to remember that appeals.us fiasco)
It's definitely a domain to develop and/or sell to an end user (flower shop or whatnot).
For the sake of tagging it with a monetary value, I'd say it's worth "raw" around the $3k mark (not end user price).

Very nice domain name Joe! Should be in the $25K to $50K range to an end user, in my opinion. For full revenue potential, you will need to build a site on it and wait a year or two. Excellent buy - Best of sucess with this one - Steve

Nice domain, very developable, would fit nicely for flower delivery service/gift shop.
I hope you are not taking estibot seriously

IMO you will have a hard time selling for more than $4K end user. Some appraisals are overoptimistic in my view. If roses.us is worth 5 figures how much is flowers.us worth ? Good money undoubtedly but well.
The .us market is still weak. Perhaps I'm wrong but I don't see a reseller here paying that amount, or even 2K. Anyone ?

$3k - $5k

$2500+ reseller - development is the key as the .us extension remains weak.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
The domain is worth
A thousand or two.

Reseller, anyway. But I'm sure there are plenty of flower shops/chains out there that would pay an end-user price for it, maybe $5K in today's .us market. Develop it yourself and generate some decent traffic, and you can triple that estimate.

Nice one, Joe.

That's a great name to blow out into a large site!
$5k+ to an SEO!

Great domain Joe!

Love it, reseller around low-mid $x,xxx I assume. Enduser.. high $x,xxx- even low $1x,xxx but could be a hard one to sell, .us isn't doing too well ATM.

I think most posts on your thread are pretty acurate.

Congrats with the domain, I'd say HOLD it untill this recession is over if you want to auction it off.. could be a while
This is really generic domain so I'd hold out for an enduser with deep pockets.

Regards,
Tim
