closed Y.guru - Single Letter Domain - Most Popular New Tld

[PlentyOfBrands]

I am looking for help in pricing this domain. There are only 26 single letter .guru domains. I am getting a lot of people interested in the domain and I am having a hard time pricing it out. There are a few large companies that start with the letter y like Yahoo and Youtube and several others. I am asking for help or an appraisal that is a fair price too. If the domain was owned by you, what would you price it out at?

Thanks

I think you could get a couple of hundred thousand for it. I will say low-mid $xxx,xxx. Good luck

That would be a nice amount to get.

I would question whether or not there were many guru's on the letter Y out there with a lot of cash to pay for the name.
Y? I don't know -- that just seems like a reasonable question when trying to appraise it.

I think you have a good point. I am just not sure how to appraise the domain and how much to price it at. I guess I look at it like single letter domains with other extensions. What is a A.com? How many "A" .coms are there out there? I think trying to find out the number of guru's start with Y is hard to figure out as well. I think that is why its hard to value. Single letter in any extension I feel are valuable to certain extent just because of length.

Don't rest on length with y.guru or you're setting yourself up to be compared with Y.co which kicks butt there. ;-)

I saw your new sales thread for the name. While this is an appraisal thread, I think I'll save my judgement for how the market actually treats it -- which, in the end, is the best actual appraisal you're going to get, when people start to put their money where their mouthes are.

I agree. I do not think there is a lot of interest from other domainers. The most I have been offered by them is $5k. That might be a nice price but that might also not. Who really knows with these? Who is y.co? Are they a good company? Are they gurus?

BTW, I can't decide if icedude is being serious with his appraisal or not... The wink is throwing me off.

Personally, I have a tough time believing that right now someone with mid $xxx,xxx to spend would opt for Y.guru over buying basically every domain in Adam's "1 day sale" thread...

I took it as he was not being serious. Obviously to the perfect company, it could. It's short, brandable and easy to remember. But I am not sure they are bringing great .com money. Let's say this, I would trade y.guru for all those names if Adam would.

*chuckle* Indeed. ;-)

Just quickly looking for some .guru sales, I found tire.guru that went for $5k-ish...

But there I think the word helps, because it reads well.... Tire Guru.
Which brings me back to the "Y Guru" question. I'm just not entirely sure in the .guru extension, it's length that counts.
Something like Diamond.Guru or Gold.Guru is probably worth more than Y.Guru and that has nothing to do with the length.

At the same time with Tire.Guru, you can guestimate tire.com's worth... and maybe see where it falls % wise to use as an extrapolator.

All things considered, $5k certainly seems decent for y.guru which would be based on the speculation it'll be worth more some day.

Good luck!

How about my Mortgage.info? What would valuate that at? Another tough question but I have been very surprised at a few things. I am still building it out. I add content almost daily for the past 45 days and it has went from ranking for "zero" keywords to over 125 keywords in a little over a month really. I think this domain can have HUGE potential (value) but I am partial

Yeah, I was joking... Complete joke.....

Yeah, that is what I thought. I think the domain has some value to the right company.
