Value of Domains for Sale

By Wilbur Corncob at 04/22/07 11:06

I noticed on a forum someone offering 3 domains for sale. They are all parked with sedo and show the owner asking these prices:

  • usedmachinesforsale.com $1,200
  • machineforsale.com $1,500
  • toolingstore.com $900

A whois lookup shows these were all registered in 2000, so they are 7+ years old. That would make them excellent domains to own and the asking prices might be reasonable prices.

I am curious about the price differences. Since these are parked, are not indexed by Google, and probably not generating any siginficant or useful traffic the value can only be based on the actual and registration date. I would see those as all very smiliar.

That said, I think that since they are simply parked at sedo.com (or elsewhere), the value is significantly less than it could be. There is no content benefical to users that happen upon them or search engines.

That is the domains are PARKED. They are not building value. That means a new owner may well be starting from behind the game with one of those domains versus a new one.

A domain that was registered 7 years ago should have some significant search results from all the major search engines and good relevent traffic.

I think it would make sense to develop relevant content, traffic, and value then look for ten times or more for the price?

"Relevant content" is not affiliate programs or paid search results. A forum, blog or similar content might be the easiest to setup and build content/value.
