Looks like it will NEVER sell!

Suttle but true :mrgreen:

Modern Technology is an everyday expression and a massive industry.

No one is likely to forget the domain.

My decision to leave the domain industry is a wise one if domains like this dont sell for peanuts.

I'll accept £250 for a quick sale.

Got to disagree, I know this is a sales thread but using this as an example of a poor / downturn in the industry is nonsense.

The domain is long, and in my very humble opinion is lacking as there is never a technology company that deals in old tech. Likewise they may opt for seperate brands, or would want the generics ie. modern.co.uk or technology.co.uk .

It could be interesting to move this to appraisals section, or create a new appraisal thread.

I am not saying it is worthless, but acorn has domainers not end users on it so domainers are looking at the name and thinking there is not much value for them in the name at the price point.

That is not a reflection on the industry, more the domain itself and the arena it is being placed for sale. Names are shifting for a range of prices, so it isnt the industry to blame

So dont post then!

rob · Aug 15, 2006

I did say in the post that it could be worth moving / kicking off a new post elsewhere to discuss the point about why some names dont shift and if its the industry, the names, the pricing or the sales arena to blame.

Apologies to the parent and yourself for posting. I will in future model my replies to sales threads along your own esteemed lines eg. "low hundreds for THAT?!" etc. as that is far more useful

"Thats Modern Technology for you!"
People use that as an every day expression and they only use it when they are referring to something GOOD!
This domain is a marketing dream because people CONSTANTLY say it!

Any technology company could use it. ANY. Yes the generic domains are better but for technology.co.uk you'd possibly be paying £50,000+.
I cant believe that many wouldnt rate ModernTechnology.co.uk in the hundreds at least.

I respect anyones right to disagree. I know we are not in the apprisals section but the thread has been created now, so.............What is the most that you guys would be prepared to pay for a domain such as this.

PS I look forward to hearing all the wise guys saying
"Reg Fee/£20/£50 etc etc etc" So dont bore me by being predictable

Hi Godfrey,

I am glad you have come to your senses

and decided to listen to some of our more experienced members, they are only here to advise you on what mistakes not to make, as many of them have made them welll before you even registered your first domain!

"Modern and Technology" dont really go in the same sentence or even domain name.

I see "Technology" as being the latest thing out, where "Modern being something of the present day? wouldnt you agree Godfrey?

I do not doubt for a minute that there are far more knowledgable people on here when it comes to domains. I am a self confessed amateur.

But I have to disagree that Modern & Technology dont go in the same sentence. As I said "Thats modern technology for you" is a sentence/phrase/expression said by millions on a daily basis.

Is it the case that the only way to get realistic monies for domains is to find the end user? If thats the case unless you are advertising a generic domain or one with traffic, attempting to sell a domain on this forum is pointless.

Would that be fair?

Sometimes, we have to take the comments from other members, learn and move on...

Doesn't mean your name has no value... On the contrary, it means that their is no interest at the present time...

Develop it and sell it as a package maybe... Bring it back in a month or two...

Just take a look at the bundles I'm dropping today...
Almost 50 names in total... All for less than your asking for this single name...

Take heart... Times and seasons... Who knows you may get an outside offer in the interim...

top dollar always comes from an end user - if you feel confident in your domain name then hold on to it and wait. You could try some pro active marketing to end users but in experience thats very hit or miss.

i dont think anyone is saying its worthless - no doubt if you let it go it would appear on the "who got what list"

the general idea here is that you but a post up every 6 months or so, you might get a catch you might not - if you look through the other posts domains that are "pushed" normally just get a hard time - take a more passive marketing approach

its a game of cards only lay them down at the last move

Pretty much, 99% of domains listed for sale on here either dont sell or sell at a discounted rate because the seller needs the money. A forum full of domainers is not the best place to find an end user with a big wallet?
