Domain sales case study, part 1
Inspired by the post by Chef Patrick I’ve decided to try selling 12 of my domains on the generic TLD’s ,com and .net starting with trying to estimate their value using different tools available on the internet. Step one will be to post requests for evaluation on domaining forums, I will try using NamePros.com and DomainState.com. I will also free online evaluation tools, such as Valuate.com. The domains I will try to evaluate and hopefully sell within a month is listed below. I’m pretty sure some are crap and hopefully a few are decent at least. What is your opinion?
nailcuticle .com ($600 according to Valuate.com)
trojanagent .com ($120 according to Valuate.com)
mcsaexam .com ($520 according to Valuate.com)
yadb .net ($110 according to Valuate.com)
boogierock .net (<$50 according to Valuate.com)
actionrock .net (<$100 according to Valuate.com)
oldschoolebm .com ($160 according to Valuate.com)
sludgemetal .net (<$100 according to Valuate.com)
synthpop .biz (<$50 according to Valuate.com)
synthpunk .net (<$50 according to Valuate.com)
terrorcore .net (<$50 according to Valuate.com)
oliverecipe .com ($730 occording to Valuate.com)
After the domains are valuated I will try selling them on domain marketplaces such as Sedo.com and Afternic if they are estimated above $100, using some promotions. Domains estimated below $100 I will try to sell cheap on forums or Bido.com. If no luck selling on marketplaces, Ill try selling other domains on Bido.com as well. I don’t think the domains are strong enough to make competing domains and Adwords buyers interested in bying the domains if I contact them, what do you think?
Well, I’ve just posted some appraisals in forums now and will see if they differ from the Valuate.com service. Do you have any appraisal ideas yourself?
