MoreOn.com What do you guys think?? Thanks

where did you get it from?

G suggest shows nothing for this domain for me.
.org shows 48 results

 

[olebean]

cheers guys

Ive owned the domain for a number of years. I understand that search results are determined by putting more on in quotes hence the 170m with out quotes it was 5.5 billion
aqua, thats bad!!
Ive had a few serious offers for the domain and now decided to put it up for sale... I was attempting to get a rough guide on value since ive had estimates from one end to the other...

nicfare suggests low $$$ (bolux)
another suggested 2-3k
another sugested 250-450k
and the last suggested 33m (bolux)

am a tad confussled!

it worth nothing as it is
ask at dnforum.com you'll for sure get realistic appraisals

 

[olebean]

lol @ vizzy

What and spend money on forums appraisals etc?? This is what I got from one company who I wanted to list the domain on

"We require an appraisal from all clients that wish to list a domain for more than $xx as we want to do prevent price inflation for domains and to promote a smooth and efficient marketplace. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions."

Forgive me for being cynical, but paying money for any company to ensure prices are low makes me wonder who the mugs are...

 

[aquanuke]

I still dont understand.. are you agreeing with vizzy or disagreeing.

I would presume your agreeing, as if you've had an appraisal for 250K, 450K and 33 million.. then you must have figured that ANY appraisal higher then reg fee is gonna be aload of bull.

 

[olebean]

Thanks for the reply guys or gals!

I presume that nobody knows the value of domains, unlike property etc there appears fairly well defined methodology (best guess) With domains it seems nobody has a clue, not even a very worst guess scenario. Yet there are several online companies whose business strategy is to pray on the idiots that are willing to pay for what might be a pension or buying the latest wife, girlfriend or mistress a night out.

So perhaps I should dream on and hold out for the 33m or are there any decent offers going??

Fantastic!

It certainly is a classic name, .com being the strongest of all domain extentions ( Even poor names are worth lots in .com) , and I would hold out for near 33M, but possibly start listening to offers around the 20M mark.

I understand that search results are determined by putting more on in quotes hence the 170m with out quotes it was 5.5 billion

Again you are right, I always find its better to put the word 'sex' in quotes even if its not related to the domain as it comes up with eleventy billion hits, plus keeps things interesting when researching possible uses.

You are damn right, its your name and you know the value. Dont listen to people who want to charge you to do an appraise, let alone ask the experts!

Good luck with the name, I only wish I had it

 

[olebean]

Perhaps I should scream "am rich beyond my wildest dreams" if only life wasn't so perverse.

But, I wouldn't be chatting in here if I wasn't as confuzzled as the "experts".

So my next question wheres the best place to sell domains???

Oh and I just checked "sex" and sex in google its 221 million lol

 

[ratboy]

Hi, excuse my ignorance. What does 33M mean? 33 Malteasers? 33 Maggots?

Imagine what that money could do... i presume in dollars, thats nearly £19 million. I could buy two industrial sheds with a rental income of around £1,500,000 a year for that.

So based on that you'll need erm 26,100,000 clicks at $.10 per click, per annum.

Now is it really worth that?
Or is someone having a laugh here.

True domains aren't based on the property valuation system, but there is this "gut feeling" thing property people talk about and my gut feeling is it ain't worth 1% of $33m!

 

[olebean]

Thanks Ratboy

Thats my point in the previous threads..

MoreOn.com is an extreme example of what may or may not be in the uncertain or unquantifiable valuation of domains. The valuation extremes from low $xx to $33million with statistical analysis on the domain becomes arguably spurious and laughable.

Similarly with sms.co.uk a name suggested to be the uk's most valuable domain sale with a reserve of approx £100k. SMS is a "has been" terminology relegated to the depths of telecoms language.

Hence my opinion is that I am none the wiser for the domains valuation nor do I have the belief unregistered non-unilateral methodology for valuations is good the reselling industry in the long term. (just a gut feeling approach)

Unless you guys believe otherwise??

Oh and 1% would be a start ;-D

i'd go back to who ever gave you that figure and offer them a deal they cant refuse - tell them if they can get that figure then they can have a $5m commission check

bingo you all win

 

[olebean]

Thanks for the reply

Even better, I emailed International Property Consultants and chartered surveyors, GVA Grimley on Friday, it was unfortunate the guy is away until 15th November (representatives for sms.co.uk)

Funny enough I get this email back yesterday, the guys in the Folkland Islands and wants a meeting when he returns.

Just need a top selling domain reseller! Any thoughts!

Great Domains will not act, conflict of interests with moreover.com.

 

[charlie]

my thoughts would be there is a distinct difference between sms.co.uk and moreon.com. Forgetting the extension for the time.

sms, 3 letters name that is strongly associated with a high profile, high spending market and it actually represents the one of the key services.

moreon - a generic combination of words?

I think we can all realise the potential of the domain sms due to its highly focused sales market which is extremely boyant and has huge marketing budgets, the value of moreon is far more difficult to calculate surely it has a similar value to moreabout etc.

i think the $33m appraisal is stupid and i dont think you can base you evaluation on the sale of sms either.

admittedly its brandable but that would require a buyer to actually match this name in their brain storming sessions - so chances are remote.

i think if you end up spending money on 3rd parties to sell this for you, you might end up scaring potential clients off
if i've missed the point of this domain let me know
