closed TravelVegas DotCom

[Acquisition]

[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]Hi everyone,

TravelVegas dotcom receives numbers in the hundreds of unique US visitors per month because it has been going to the Network Solutions error page for the past few years.. But before the NSI registrar placeholder page, it was receiving much higher numbers from what I've gathered. With some simple SEO work soon I see the numbers rising exponentially.

TravelNevada (.) com is the OFFICIAL SITE OF THE NEVADA COMMISSION ON TOURISM, and it receives high traffic.. Ditto for TravelAlaska (.)com which is Alaska's official State Travel Industry Association website (Compete shows about 40,000 unique monthly U.S visitors going there).

And the same goes for TravelTexas (.)com for Texas,-- TravelNewJersey (.) com leads to the state of New Jersey's travel commission site, TravelVirginia (.) com for Virginia , TravelPennsylvania. -com for PA , TravelKansas (.) com for Kansas, etc etc..... And TravelNY (.) com is Travel New York etc.

So as I see it, I think there is great GREAT potential for TravelVegas dotcom with Vegas being the #1 leisure travel destination in the United States.. Travel2Vegas (.) com for instance (which is similar to TravelVegas but with the number 2 in between) , is a website that receives 5000 to 15000 unique visitors per month over the past 12 months (according to compete).

What value would you place on TravelVegas dotcom . I would also appreciate any ideas or suggestions as far as development is concerned.

Best,
AQ

Super top travel two worder. Don't get lowballed - please. No less than $xxx,xxx. Anyone who posts less than $xxx,xxx end user is almost certainly lying about what they really believe - lying, lying, pants are on the frying...pan.

I almost wish you hadn't posted it because of the lowballers that can come in and ruin a thread, but at least you did what they have led us to feel the need to do - not write it out properly. What a world.

Do not be so excited. It won't go to the xxx,xxx range @ the resellers market.
Mid-High x,xxx IMO

 

[Nova]

I don't doubt you would jump to get it at high $x,xxx as a reseller, but at least you didn't try suggesting that for end user.

You look like a promoter here, bud No, I will think for a day or two before even to make the best x,xxx offer. Personally I like VegasTravel more.

It is impossible to make accurate appraisals for hypothetical end user sales and the "Domain Name Appraisal" section is practically mostly for the reseller appraisals.

 

[Fatbat]

It's a good one. 6 figures good? That's a tough call. I'd say anywhere in the 5 figure range though.

I like VegasTravel as well. The only problem with that though is, when I contacted the owner of that name a couple of months ago he implied he wants around a Million for it.

So much for that idea I guess.

I've done the same for you without knowing you at all, and you didn't seem to mind a bit. I also see that you are one of the last three to look at my profile, in case you might be inclined to say you didn't notice then. Perhaps a special privilege can be set up so that Exclusives can look at people's profiles without leaving a trace.

Personally I like VegasTravel more.

Do you really? I don't. TravelVegas.com is perfect for TV commercials, just like it's sibling VisitLasVegas.com. Moreover, something tells me that Acquisition has already presented a quite compelling case for the strength and frequency of this particular word order form. VegasTravel.com is a very good name, but it's like LasVegasVisit.com in far less suitability for TV in comparison to the former two.

It is impossible to make accurate appraisals for hypothetical end user sales and the "Domain Name Appraisal" section is practically mostly for the reseller appraisals.

Something tells me that this poster didn't come here for those reseller "appraisals," nor do a lot of people who wind up getting them, too. I do end user appraisals, which are by definition judgment calls, and I doubt you will find many claiming they are accurate predictions, or that the so-called "reseller" ones are for that matter. Personally, I find these frequent impositions of "reseller" values to be a very undesirable and frankly sometimes fishy business, despite how often you see it, not to mention a bit out of line with the very definition and purpose of the term "appraisal" to begin with.

I like the name. I'd say high $,$$$ for it. Vegas travel sites are a dime a dozen though, all with the same tired content. VegasTravel.com is a better name.

Let me ask you just one question though.- Why is there no top notch (or just good, let's say) Vegas dot com's available in the aftermarket (reasonably priced) ?

I can show you web archives of MANY domainers stating that there just aren't any good vegas dot coms available for purchase. Again, let me ask you, why do you think that is ?

Sure, VegasTravel is available, and it's nice too. But you have a million dollars laying around to buy it?

The old "Supply and demand" argument works well here IMO.

It's a lost cause, except on rare occasions or if you're in with certain people. Don't get sucked into the trap of thinking you're going to get a conversation made in good faith or that people make sincere statements. You are dealing with pros, and at only 10 posts you're clearly fresh meat in the tiger's den. Just don't let yourself get lowballed out of this excellent and extremely valuable domain, and don't let anyone get you to lower your expectations, no matter how genuine they seem. The only words you need to review tonight for this are these:

Don't worry my friend. I know the game well. VERY WELL. I have been domaining for many years.

 

[Bionic]

I like travelvegas.com better than vegastravel.com.

It's a geo domain, in high demand and what better geo location than vegas.

$40K

 

[james2002]

I will say high xxxx to low xx,xxx range

 

[NameGuy]

I suggest you sell the domain to Nova for say, 80K, which in his mind is a bargain.

I'm sure you can find more than one if you look hard enough.

I'm sure you can find more than one if you look hard enough.

Oh, so now you're "sure" huh? Okay, if you're so sure, do us both a favor.

Go out and find us an as good (or better) Vegas dot com than travelvegas or vegastravel. Go out and find a Vegas dot com that gets natural type in traffic, is as descriptive , generic, and a two worder or less (with vegas in the name), for $x,xxx.

Not only will I buy it, but I will pay you a finders fee. Good luck.

Let's see how "easy" it is for you to find a Vegas dot com gem for $x,xxx, as you imply.

 

[NameGuy]

If you don't like appraisal opinions, don't ask for them. I took the time to voice my own and now you to insult me. I'm done with this thread.

 

[Acquisition]

Nameguy. I don't see anywhere where I insulted you.. In fact, I made you an offer to give you a handsome finders fee, I fail to see how that is in anyway insulting.

I was looking at that scenario as a business move. You finding me a vegas dot com gem for $x,xxx , with you receiving a compensatory finders fee. Seems like a win-win situation for the both of us.

 

[NameGuy]

It seems you insuated I don't know what I'm talking about. My apologies if that is not what you meant. But that is my opinion, accept it or not. Here's one for you, sincity.info. Good luck with your name.

 

[MAllie]

To me, VegasTravel means travelling around Las Vegas, while TravelVegas means travelling to Las Vegas (and presumably around the area as well).
