He wanted to offer $10,000 USD (he is German I think) but then recommended the appraisal. As I mentioned, the appraisal came back at $14,500 USD.<BR/><BR/>Now, I also own the .com version of that name, and from having it parked during June, I know that it received 1000 type ins, since the site was not being advertised at all. That was between 6 June and 30 June. Not bad.<BR/><BR/>Now I have put the old site up and informed some of my friends to test it for bugs, coding errors, etc. I installed Google Analytics to track progress. All of this happened since Thursday, so the initial traffic numbers have sucked. We'll see how they look at the end of this week when the site is allowed to fully take traffic, plus searches start finding it, and then I can start letting people know that it is back online.<BR/><BR/>Not trying to get ahead of myself at all, but if the .net version of an usused domain name can fetch almost $15K US, then what is the .com worth when it is pulling some actual traffic? Probably a bit more.Khyronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040617292426246605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10546227.post-1630981523106796752007-07-16T02:20:00.000-04:002007-07-16T02:20:00.000-04:00I truly wish you luck, but don't count your chicke...I truly wish you luck, but don't count your chickens before they hatch. Those domain value tools tend to overprice 99% of domains. Unless you have a single word domain, you're not likely to get much from it if it isn't one that people type in on their own (which you would know because the sites would not be getting occasional traffic, but a lot). The truth is that unless there is specific person that wants it or it has a lot of traffic, you will likely not have any offers (or ones well below $100). Here's hoping that I'm wrong...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
