Thank you for the appraisal dvestors

It wasn't great deal based on your reseller price.
But, I still am glad that I got it!

My wife can not understand the money I spent:greendead:

$8k to $15k reseller, $20k to $50k end-user.

P.S. I posted this before reading what others said so to be non-influenced.

Now, it's quite clear SM.ORG do have potential to develop.
Thinking either Stock related (Stock Market - SM) or Shopping Mall (SM).
I am leaning more toward Stock Market.
What do you guys think?

Thanks,
Jonathan

 

[dvestors]

stock market is a much higher paying keyword than shopping. I'd lean in that direction..

 

[copper]

Yes.
I thought as much.

Interesting thing about these traffic is that previous owner
didn't do anything for about a year according to wayback machine.
It just had coming soon site and then changed to it's for sale.

4/7 - 31 visits (Changed name server late evening)
4/8 - 301 visits
4/9 - 211 visits

822 Hits - Direct Request (guessing either typein or saved link)

So, I am thinking make PPC page real quick and put that up until
I finish developing the stock related site.
And it's going to take quite some time.

Any input would be greatly appreciated :wink_smile:

Thanks,
Jonathan

the way things are going with 2 letters it really doesnt matter what you paid...anything under $25k is a steal right now for that name and it's only gonna increase in value for such prime letters...I'd forecast these all to be in the high $xx,xxx to low $xxx,xxx range in a few years...you can't touch a good .com 2 letter for less than that now...

 

[copper]

Mocus, thank you for your post

Your words gonna make me lose my sleep tonight.

I think the traffic can come from typos of s-sm.org and some miel-sm.org

SM meaning for me was mostly sex related, but OVT says it has more. I would probably put some search on the domain first to know what are the people looking for.

 

[copper]

Actually, SM .com seems like ppc page with tons of sexually explicit links.
SM .net seems like directory of all things.

I can see some of the visitors to .org which is mine are looking for shopping
such as shoes, electronics...

Right now the name will sell for a minimum of $10k. End user value of around $30k.

Prices can only go up, so hold on even if you are not developing.

sm.com is Adam's domain and it is parkingsite.com parking page

Thank you for your appraisal.
Yes, I didn't buy it for resell to begin with
Even as I write, I am trying to figure out the budget for it.

sm.com is Adam's domain and it is parkingsite.com parking page

Oh! I didn't know that.
I guess he's making enough just parking if he didn't bother developing it

 

[Focus]

well more like probably just "holding onto it" which is what you should do with that one....

 

[gingeman]

$10k+ if you're desperate to sell. I'd sit on it and hope for a lot more. First good name I've seen in this section recently!

 

[cyber2]

For the record. I have listed the name for sale with no reserve at snapnames. Just go to sm.org it will take you to the bidding page.

 

[Yofie]

Copper = Cyber2?

2008 2 Letter .org sales according to NameBio.com

pi.org $40K
go.org $25,350
yj.org $5,500
no.org $37,500
pl.org $28,850

2007 2 Letter .org sales

fl.org $33,000
we.org $36,500
ii.org $22,895
jv.org $14,000

I think the PL.org sale would be the closest to SM.org for value wise.

 

[DomainMagnate]

I guess the name switched hands during the last 2 years

Price for it depends a lot on where you sell it, TRAFFIC is best I think.
