A couple of crazy prices on DomainLore?

JimmyDomain · 24-01-2010, 03:21:15 PM

Was just looking through DomainPrices.co.uk and I noticed that recently CreditCardComparison.co.uk went for £700 and TravelInsuranceQuote.co.uk went for £235.

Do these prices seem ridiculously low to anyone else?

I hoped creditcardcomparison.co.uk would go for a little more, even on a reseller site, but I needed the cash and I'm happy with what I got. It was an SEO company that got it, I'm sure it's worth a lot more to them than 700 squid.

Domainlore doesnt really have much of an audience and in most cases the domains are there to sell, no matter what price they get to. So in other words its not people bidding who actualy planned to have the domain name, but people who are happy to take them because they are bargains...

creditcardcomparison is on the long side and 3 words for dropping into a very competitive sector so i'd have thought £700 wasn't too shabby

They do seem on the low side to me. I certainly wouldn't sell TravelInsuranceQuote.co.uk for £235 if it was mine.

The domain names offer great keywords from an seo point of view and in such a lucrative sector, but sectors don't get much more competitive. You'd need a massive link building campaign, including lots of time and money, to get them up the serps for these terms imo. Also, these long wordy names lack appeal in other respects if considering investment from an end user resale point of view. For these reasons, whilst slightly on the low side, I don't believe the sellers should be too dissappointed. I'm sure there was profit after all.

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

Sorry lebowski, couldnt resist.

Domainlore apart from a few who have taken the preverbial, is a cracking site, and shows what people are prepared to pay for them.

Makes me laugh all the people who hold out for fortunes for domains they are never gonna get a fraction for.

Ive seen a few end users turn up for some of the auctions, and if it sustains its credibility, then domainlore will be a really good thing for domains and british business.

If you have a domain worth fortunes, advertise it in the FT, I can get you daft rates, and lets see if it sells.

They were very good deals for the buyers. We bid on creditcardcomparison.co.uk and bowed out just before the end. Buyer did well and well worth the money.

We did win travelinsurancequote.co.uk and it goes well with our extensive insurance portfolio. Haven't been a member of domainlore for long, but seems a nice site and the proprietor communicates well, and no problems with any of our purchases through it.
