I think you would be very lucky to get 5k let alone 500k

 

[paz]

Agreed. If I had it and someone offered 5k I would take it and run and never turn back.

.au market is too young for prices like this

 

[stoscano]

Lmao!!!!....

 

[OzNick]

Yep, it's a young market and there's no telling what a .au domain name is really worth until you try.

I've had the domain name for over 10 years and i'll keep it for another 10 if I have to. it cost me bugger all to purchase (under $100), so whatever i get for it is a bonus.

Who knows, it may be one of those that does eventually sell for a nice sum, but then it may never sell....

I'm not that fussed either way.

 

[paz]

good for dating niche have you emailed an offer to redhotpie.com.au?

 

[Wade]

Yeh, you're right paz, if it gets typeins they are most likely looking for red hot pie. I send some of my dating type ins to RHP and it does quite well.

RHP could be potential buyers, but again, not at 500k.

Its only a decent domain, not a premium name, even redhot.com would be unlikely to crack 6 figures.

The issue is your 500k reserve, its so unrealistic it will turn off ALL potential purchasers. Then to say it cost $100 and anything extra is a bonus suggests you'd accept well below $500k. If you truly want to sell it, you're going about it the wrong way imo.

 

[stoscano]

If you truly want to sell, i suggest knocking a few zeros off the price tag...

 

[OzNick]

Early days my friends. I don't care what it sells for. Anythings a bonus... $1 or $1000000, I couldn't care less (although I'd tell you to shovel sand where the sun doesn't shine if you offered a dollar)

 

[OzNick]

Also, If I was deserate, I could consider lesser offers only to see the domain name sell for loads more in 1, 2 or ten years later.

The domian names worth at this point is what I want to ask for it. If someone is willing to pay the price or negotiate, then so be it. I'm not earnig a living out of buying and selling domains in the .au market. I just happen to own a handful that MIGHT be worth something.

I really don't care...

 

[Wade]

Nick, if you want to sell it now or in the future, your best chance is by putting a realistic price tag on it. Compare it to .com sale prices over at dnjournal.com, there is no way its worth $500k.

All you're doing with this price tag is turning buyers off, and then confusing people with what price you are truly looking for.

You are not alone, there are many holders of quality .au names who only hold a few names each, with these small holdings the illusions of gradeur grow larger and larger....the thought of seeing their small holding shrink and only obtain them a fraction of the massive payday they dreamt is too much to accept.

If I owned redhot.com.au I would gladly sell it for $2k-$5k, the difference is I have plenty of other quality names to fall back on. Domainers with large amounts of inventory can more easily let go of names for market value.

Nick, I think your best bet would to redirect the site to redhotpie with your affiliate link. redhot.com.au is the number 1 search term that DN Trade is receiving traffic from the search engines at the moment, and i think most of them would be looking for the redhotpie website. Give it a go, you may be quite impressed with the return you get from it

 

[OzNick]

Thanks guys. With the .au domain name market opening up and not being able to get accurate appraisals from moniker etc, a "delusional" price tag was probably (likely) added to early.

I appreciate the fact that I haven't been flamed on this forum. As I've said earlier, I put the price up there to test the waters. If someone bought it, so be it.

There were plenty of .au domains advertised on eBay at the start of June asking for 6 figure sums. It would be interesting to see the results of those too.

Thanks for the advice re redhotpie, I'll check it out.

There were plenty of .au domains advertised on eBay at the start of June asking for 6 figure sums. It would be interesting to see the results of those too.

I've been watching them (ebay ones) pretty closely. None seemed to get ANY bids. Most have been relisted 3 or 4 times since and at half the previous price each time.

 

[OzNick]

Pretty much why I didn't relist redhot. Cost about $65 for nothing. Better off to advertise it(any domain) on it's own web site.

Costs are largely reduced and if it does sell, then the money is all yours without having to pay a percentage to the marketing site, be it eBay, moniker or god forbid melbourneIT (30%!!!!).

Cheers James,
Yeah optimistic alright. Shoud've started WAY lower I guess, but then, who knew? Certainly not me....
