closed Super Bowl Guide dot com

[Hal]

I only own Super Bowl Guide.com but I have seen some interest in footballguide.com and worldcupguide.com on DNF in the past week or so.
worldcupguide.com - appraised at low $xxxx
footballguide.com - $200 offer received

Any idea about the value of Super Bowl Guide.com?

Overture US shows 676k searches for "Super Bowl" in Jan 2007 with 23k searches for "Super Bowl History". "Super Bowl Guide" shows 32.

Google:
Results 1 - 10 of about 108,000 for "super bowl guide". (0.33 seconds)

All opinions on my domain will be graciously received.

Best Regards,

Hal

TM issues, it's a liability

well, i own worldcupguide so i'll just compare your's to mine.

-ve: superbowl is a far shorter event. one day of actual play compared to an event that goes on for about 6 weeks
-ve: smaller international audience
+ve: though a smaller audience in total, the audience is concentrated in the most lucrative economies
+ve: that audience almost entirely has english as its first language
-ve: somewhat less generic. there are several world cups (rugby, cricket, football that i can think of) and only one superbowl (american football)
+ve: you have 1 superbowl per year. individual sports normally have their world cups every 4 years or so
+ve: as most domain buyers are americans, your's is more likely to catch their imagination.
-ve: do people really need a guide to the superbowl? it's always in the same country, etc.
all in all i'd say mid xxx

footballguide is way better than worldcupguide, those two dont compare.
Footballguide is at least a $1000 domain... the others are all close to regfee

the NFL also wants to TM "the big game".... so they will protect their "super bowl" trademark quite strongly.

Not very reassuring but thanks for the appraisals so far.
Shambles, I believe your analysis is spot on - thank you.

The only thing I'd disagree with Shambles over is that the Superbowl has a run-up just like the other cups. It's just not as globally intensive as the World Cup run-up.

Yeah, big TM issues here.
