Do 4 letter "generic word" domains sell well?

WaftyCrank · 31-10-2007, 07:47:35 PM

Howdy peeps.

OK here's the situation. I have the possibility of purchasing a 4 letter domain that is a specific English language word. It's a .co.uk domain.

I have had a Sedo appraisal (groans and rolleyes welcome) which valued it in the �30k region. Now i'm not sure how reliable their appraisal is but there you go.
Anyway the buyer isn't aware that I have had the domain appraised and he's looking for �15k to let it go.

While I know there is a good profit margin, I'm not sure whether the outlay is worth the risk. What if I end up stuck with the domain and can't sell it?
It's a very good domain name and would be sought after (I would have thought). I'm not sure what to do for the best.

Any advice?

there you go!

is it sold.co.uk

oops another one!

ok... 30 large for a 4L .co.uk generic... it will have to be VERY good name to be worth punting 15k out... regardless of RV or ROI, PM us the DN for a closer inspection... we observe and note all confidence in this matter

No it's not Sold.co.uk. I'm keeping that one.
However it is as good as the sold domain in my personal opinion.

I can't PM you the details I'm afraid

as much as I'd love to.
If I did it wouldn't be the best business decision I'd have made.

no probs... but we are a bit in the dark.co.uk as to how we can even risk.co.uk coming up with a nice.co.uk figure for it

we could broker the purchase if you needed to 1) keep it shhh as to who is buying and 2) maybe chip a bit off the $!

anyway if you need.co.uk us we are here.co.uk

Thank you for the offer. What security though would I have that you wouldn't just go ahead and purchase the domain yourself?

You need to give more info to get a real opinion.........How much would you pay for my watch? You don't know if it's a timex or a rolex!

If the domain is crap.co.uk �15k is expensive and there is no profit margin. If you have gold.co.uk , �30k is a bargain.

Take appraisals with a pinch of salt. Unless you want to buy all my domains at 50% of appraisal value
