Hello guys,

I've got a prospective buyer asking how much I want for it. Any ideas?

He already has the .com

I've still to hear back from 2 or 3 other potentials.

Cheers,

Calum.

Hi Calum,

The .com 's a developed site so I can see why the guy wants it (it could be the owner of the .com which would make it more valuable or it could be someone who wants to sell it on to the owner of the .com site). I would value it at around £2-£3k.

As much as that??

ok I don't know much about domaining but 2-3k seems way over the top.
What if he turns around and says that he has a right to that domain and seeks a DRS?

Apologies for sounding thick (or inexperienced), but what exactly is a DRS? There are several Ivy House Hotels in the country, so I would imagine it would be difficult for one to lay claim to it?

DRS stands for Dispute Resolution Service

Did'nt know they were more than 1 ivyhousehotel out there, in which case drop the figures by 1k either side.

What's it worth if he doesn't want it?

I'd take £300 and move on.

I would have thought if there were 3 or 4 Ivy House Hotels in the UK, then there would be healthy competition for the domain names? ie. Basic economics would say that low supply and higher demand would increase the value???

Now I'm confused?

Even more basic economics and common sense would question why a hotel of that size would pay £2-3k for a domain. I'll eat my hat if he gives you that for it - best of luck though!

I have a few dropped 'hotel' domains. Some with reasonable traffic. Wouldn't expect any more than £300 for them as it's generally a low-margin business if e.g. they've let their domain drop, unless you're dealing with Paris Hilton or someone with a little more intelligence (non sequitur).
