Brand.com

[Cal]

Being a bit of a marketing enthusiast was curious what this might go for... Brand.com goes on the market - Domain Name Wire

they are quoting figures of $500,000 plus (as brands.com was apparently being marketed at $1,000,000 plus)

Big bucks indeed, will be interesting to see if it sells.

Good luck to them. The main appeal will be to companies which use the term as part of a corporate name, eg "Brand Solutions Inc" but it is unlikely to be something a company must have and 500k is a pipe dream.

The term itself, "brand" is weak.

Hi Cal, I'd like to see how long it takes to sell at that price.

Update...just saw that brand.com supposedly sold for six figures...

With a name like Reputation Changer, you can imagine that an online reputation management company would be stuck in the shadow of Reputation.com (which itself was formerly known as Reputation Defender). The solution? It’s changing its name, and purchasing a memorable URL of its own — Brand.com.

The URL supposedly cost six figures, and you can see that the company has already taken it over to promote a product called “Brand.com by Reputation Changer.” President Michael Zammuto said the plan, ultimately, is to completely switch over to the Brand.com name. It will become the highest trafficked website in the reputation industry, he said, based on an analysis of Google search volumes: “Brand.com and the term ‘brand’ have much greater recognition with potential clients and with the general public than the term ‘Reputation’ or ‘Reputation.com’.”
