I took a look at all the domain auctions I followed on Namejet that ended for the past 2.5 months and I grouped them by sales price to see what domains sold for a similar price. I thought it would be fun to see which is the smart buy out of each group and how many headscratches we see.
imeeting.com $15166
epan.com $15088
poolservices.com $15000
I don’t know what epan is doing in this group unless it means something in another language or it is an end user buy. I just visited the site and it is a parked page. If I had to pick one I’d go with PoolServices.com. I like iMeeting.com but one day the trendy “i” in front of everything will loose its appeal.
uth.com $7700
of.org $7603
certification.net $7501
suga.com $7400
I think Certification got a nice price here, but for the .net I think it is too much. I love pronounceable CVCV.com domains, but unless this gets a ton of typos for Sugar.com I think I’d rather have my money in one of the last remaining two. Tough choice but I’d go with OF.org. I think it would be easier to find an end user for this domain, and I think the potential room for profit is greater with this domain than UTH.com.
opposites.com $6600
qdk.com $6305
cruisesale.com $6200
This one will be quick, without a doubt I’d want Opposites.com here. I like CruiseSale.com but I think you could get a substitute domain and you’d be OK, while with the single word Opposites you can’t get a substitute.
wanka.com $5325
ivas.com $5300
pregnancytesting.com $5201
xpe.com $5200
This is a tough one, I’m not feeling giddy about any of these guys. Gun to the head I’d take PregnancyTesting.com though I’m not sure how many people use that term when looking for products online.
lover.net $5001
cush.com $5000
jzd.com $5000
vjz.com $4900
Easy, without a doubt I’d take Cush.com here. It is a certain type of weed (weed as in pot as in 4:20) and one day when they legalize it this will be a valuable domain.
mwk.com $4856
homenews.com $4766
chinatourism.com $4700
xth.com $4700
qbx.com $4700
I like ChinaTourism.com out of this group. HomeNews.com comes in at a distant second. I just don’t know what people are going to do with LLL.com’s with non-premium letters unless they know an end user that they can sell it to.
rgz.com $4511
zng.com $4506
zvl.com $4500
xeh.com $4455
zkb.com $4450
znf.com $4433
yzu.com $4433
ztn.com $4412
zgn.com $4403
I think this grouping shows what most of you already know, that LLL.com’s will sell in the almost mid $XXXX range even if the letter combo is not good. Ughhhhhh, I’d take either RGZ.com or ZTN.com… give me RGZ.com.
xdv.com $4015
xki.com $4011
zdv.com $4002
zcv.com $4001
xkm.com $4001
adultbusiness.com $4000
galvestonisland.com $4000
xrh.com $3999
pzv.com $3999
zjn.com $3988
xmv.com $3988
qvj.com $3967
energyefficient.com $3928
zfv.com $3924
I think AdultBusiness.com is a very solid domain and I also like EnergyEfficient.com because of the recognition that term is getting with regards to household appliances. I’d be happy with either one but since I can only pick one I’d take EnergyEfficient.
chenoweth.com $3628
zve.com $3604
bobbleheads.net $3601
xgv.com $3600
Bobbleheads.net. And I’d hope that I could sell it to the owner of Bobbleheads.com. And I’d hope there is no trademark on the term because I didn’t check (though I would have before spending the $3,600).
And the last one for the day…
mortgageoptions.com $3125
scorecast.com $3103
housecontractors.com $3100
lifekey.com $3047
zbv.com $3010
I think because the finance sector affiliate commissions are very high I’d go with MortgageOptions.com here. I like Scorecast and HouseContractors, but I think MortgageOptions could generate the most revenue and therefore it could generate the best sales price in a flip.
Interesting. I’m a fan of the LLL.com’s so I probably would have went for them in most cases. Especially that uth.com one. In the first group.. hrm, tough one.. Tempted to go with epan.com but really, I can’t think of a single use for it unless there’s a good acronym. I think I’d take iMeeting.com .. sounds like it could be a good fit for some sort of conference call software or something like that.
**KUSH** ; ) research it if you dont believe me, but trust me lol- I know.
