closed What type of prices do domain names only get?

Are there domains out there that people will pay alot for just because of the name, regardless if there is no history of the domain on the internet, search engines, ect.. I hear people talk about how they want to see stats of the site and ect.., but what if you buy a domain name (and its a real good one) but it has no actual site to it, can you still get good money just on the name?

thanks

Check out perfectname.com and you will see what's being sold and for what.

In my opinion, since I am a college student, paying alot is anything above 500 bucks. But I want to know if there are people that roam this site, or sites like these looking for domains and their URL address regardless of stats, and they are willing to put up some decent $$ for that name. I will check out that site, thanks

Thanks for the welcome also, I look forward to spending quite a bit of time in here.

Thanks

The answer is yes. There are people who roam this site looking to buy undeveloped domain names. But your names better be damn good, and 95% of the names listed here aren't.

It takes money to make to money. Play lightly.

What about Adult themed websites. I understand that the adult industry is one of the biggest money makers online. For domains that haven't yet been registered regarding adult themed names, are there people willing to pay out fairly large money for those?

just wondering

They primarily stick to names with traffic. They have developed names and traffic = conversions = money.

New names you have to build traffic before you can expect to sell them.

Yes, people roam here and buy undeveloped (I am one). If I like a name, I will buy it regardless of traffic or previous development, pending on price of course. . .

Decent money depends on what you mean. I pay all over the spectrum depending on what I think the resale value is.
