Hello there,

I've never sold any domain, but I've recently found a good name and thought it might worth it. So how much do you think I can get for this domain: selectnew.com
I was thinking of building a site for it, so I'll only sell it for good money. :lol:

thanks

I think I'd pay about standard price for it. What application can selectnew.com pertain to? Sound more like a windows menu option to me.

Edit

Select All
Deselect All
Select New

:lol:
I'd love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

Doesn't really seem valuable to me. What kind of site would be built there?

Your not going to get much for it. If it was an existing domain with established high PR and a high traffic rate with potential for profit or proven profitablity, you could get quite a bit for it. I've seen existing domains for sale in the past in the 5 figure range. I think you'd be pushing it to expect more than a hundred bucs for it.

Sorry, it's not worth anything more than you paid for it, or $6.95. Whichever is lower.

Oh for heavens sake. Please dont buy domains just to try and make some money on it. It's such a lame thing to do. If your going to buy a domain just use it for something or don't buy it.

I agree with Rose. Buy the domain if its relevant to something you're doing, not to make money.

It's a pain in the ass - there have been domains I have wanted for projects and some jackass has been sittng on them for years asking a stupid price and not even doing anything with it.

I know what you mean. Right after I built Mapfiend and actually gave it that name (Was originally just an eq maps section on my personal site), Some jerk bought mapfiend.com and has been sitting on it ever since.
A few times, he tried loading my site in a frame and splattering it with popups, but I put that to a stop real quick. I'm not sure what his intent was or is, but I haven't been contacted by him, even when I offered to buy the domain from him. Right now it's just parked at domainsponsor.

The other end of the spectrum: I used to own k-r-g.com, but let it expire when I got my hands on kgreene.com and keithgreene.com. I didn't want it any more. As soon as it expired, some company bought it, then started sending me emails telling me it was for sale for $2200.00. I sent them several nasty messages telling them that I LET it expire and I didn't want it anymore, and to stop contacting me. Every so often, they send me ANOTHER email to let me know they dropped the price. Last time, it was down to $1420 or so.
Makes me laugh, considering it was hyphenated, didn't contain any keywords, had virtually no traffic and wasn't listed in the SE's.

I think you can safely assume that you will shortly be contacted by Google's attorneys for violation of their trademark.

They don't violate any laws. It's fair use.
