Re: [CGUYS] domain value
i have under $100 in it. does that mean i should sell it for 100, if it is worth 1000 or 100,000? if i had, and was able to hold exxon.com, or coke.com, should i sell them for the $100 i would have in them? some of these domain name collectors have thousands of domain names, and they are not selling them for $10 each.

Anything over what you paid to registrars plus the time it will take you to transfer it will be pure profit to you. So you don't have to get that much to be ahead. If you insist that you have to squeeze every last penny out of the deal, you will assuredly end up unhappy no matter what you get. The idea that you could have got $1 more will gnaw at you. If you ask for too much they will walk and you get nothing. Do you know anything about the buyer. Will this be a commercial website? A rich non-profit? A poor non-profit? * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** * REGARDS jerry gerald slawecki home 301 839 9009 cell 301 233 2248 fax 301 839 9008 * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

IMS there is the ability to force out domain squatters on trade marked brands so they can get basically nothing for the privilege of having owned something like that. In practice if you make the payment to you smaller than or near the costs of chasing you out then you might come out ahead. The trick here is to get as much as you can without being abusive about it. The good news here is ppiusa and ppi aren't immediately recognizable brands. -- John Duncan Yoyo ---o) * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
