Now some reasoning behind the reserve.

Price and value are two different things. What you can use CamSex.com/CamSex.mobi/CamSex.biz/CamSex.name for (value), might justify a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 figure offer (price), which I respect. However others may use CamSex.com for something that justify a 6 figure offer.

Its what you can do with a domain that gives it value... ex. a PPC person will look at its typin and potential seo - this is what gives it value to him. A paysite program have more parameters going into its valuation of the domain (ex. current bookmarks/members, opportunity to diversify from strictly paysites etc.), and a already established cam network have even more parameters going into its valuation (ex. higher return on ad costs, open new markets, easier branding etc.). Thats why when the talk comes to pricing, then almost everyone have their own view on what its worth, because the value is not the same to us.

I understand why $250K-300K can be a deal breaker for many, however when you take every parameter into account, and match it with the right buyer, then its a fair price (ex. lets say the domain currently does $30K-50K gross per year, google exact keyword phrase would cost $43K-65K per year but are easier to catch free via seo with the right domain, generates more clickthrus and more potent traffic than some random gibberish on ads, domain owns its own niche, a noun and verb integrated in the cam language/slang itself, term understood/spoken/viral around the world etc. etc.). The value a cam network would get from owning CamSex.com would be more than a PPC company, and probably also a paysite program (unless the paysite program is looking to enter the cam business). The $250K-300K is an investment, which pays for itself over time - how long is simply a matter of how you use it, and how much you use it.

Again feel free to contact me with any questions - the more successful the buyer will become from owning CamSex.com/CamSex.mobi/CamSex.biz/CamSex.name the more we can expect from the domain. Its a win/win situation

Basically, you're domain is worth what someone is willing to offer. Everyone knows this. What's known is as it stands right now, your domain isnt worth 250-300k, otherwise it would sell. And 2 people, seem to think your domain is worth a fraction of what you think its worth. When people are so far off, typically one of us will be right, and one of us will be wrong, and I don't think we're wrong

With that said, sincerely - good luck with the domain. I was never that gung ho, I just think you have unrealistic expectations, and I hope you prove me wrong.
