OMG! Why don't they sell!! Wasted domains.
 

I've been looking up some domains and it is unbelievable what some people have parked to make $5 a month.

And thing is that the $5 will steadily decline over the years.

Why don't they sell the thing and make some money?

because $5 a month is $60 a year which is $50 profit for doing nothing with it

Uhh?

These domains could sell for $2000 easy and that could be put in a savings account or IRA or municipal bond and make a whole lot more by doing nothing.

Not to mention that the $50 a year is going to go down $5 a year as type-ins dwindle because they are useless and searchengines start dropping parked pages from their index.

Shit wanna see a huge waste?

http://hot.com/ :disgust

I just cried. :(

That IS a huge waste indeed.......I was expecting hot chicks but all I see is Kucinich ...PUT his wife instead for crying out loud! ........

Now that's a hot FLILF:thumbsup

I think this is the first time I have ever typed this, but it seems appropriate: OMFG

Id love to hear some estimates on what that name is worth. :2 cents:

I would say from 4 mil to maybe 15 mil. Yes no? Am I crazy? You'll really laugh if you go back and look on it on the wayback machine.

NO SHIT!! OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good thing he is reaching his voting base. :1orglaugh


I mean, just sell the damn name and cash in.

Nope, I'd put the name less than 100k.

I have to know how you came up with that number.

I'd say 6-10 million.

Owner seems some politics freak .. lol

Oh my goodness :helpme

I have been trying to get http://www.djjace.com/ for a couple years now

seems they don't even care, and I can't imagine it is getting much traffic at ALL

I have sent them offers up to $2k for that domain, they never respond

Amigo that domains is worth alot more than 100k. Do you have any domains that are Se Vende! I will buy then all I like your pricing
thanks

Base on many other sales I've seen for 3 letter domains that do not have a brand association or even relate to a specific business or product.

Hat.com would be a more useful name than hot.com in a general market sense.

I realize that hot.com is an awesome name and I would rather have hot.com over hat.com. But I don't have a hat company that makes millions a year and can fork over what ever it takes to get hat.com

Many big companies sell "hats", I don't know anybody selling "hots".
:1orglaugh

You can get "3 hots and a cot" for free in the pen, but not "3 hats and a cot".

:1orglaugh

Don't quit your day job.

I would love to have www.x.com

I see someone finally smartened up and sold:

http://germany.com/

Before it was nothing but a picture of his cat and a message saying that the domain was not for sale.

I wonder how many years he kept that up before he realized he was just throwing away money.

Oh, big surprise! You think my price is too low for domains and your sig is selling domains. :1orglaugh

Domain sellers are notorious for believing their domains is worth millions when it's nest to useless.

Let me guess, you want to sell me s-e-x-y_Ladie-s.com for 100k.

I could sell hot.com and live off the stock market for the rest of my life.

I do not own or work with anyone with that domain. I will like to buy your domains you seem like you have good pricing for me? Do you have any domains Se Vende!.?

OK, so you are suggesting that noone has offered the domain seller a decent price. No way he'd be sitting on that domain if he had received an offer of 5 million. This is not sex.com.

And if he did get an offer of 5 million and didn't sell it then he is either already filthy rich or an idiot.

So I contend that the owner has not recieved any offers any where near a million dollars.

Buyers have wised up a little. Pop.com isn't worth shit, so much money was wasted buying that domain.

You are missing out on some factors. Hot.com DOES NOT have to go the adult direction. Fashion line, Tabasco sauce, celebrity news, stock tips. You could market it anyway you wanted to, and once the public caught onto the concept HOT would be associated with your brand. But if done for adult possibilities are nearly endless too.

100k? shit. I think Shemale.com just sold for 500k recently. In ways it is better than Sex.com as far as marketing possibilities.

Another waste http://cool.com/

Jesus

GAY GAY GAY

http://www.high.com/

Yeah.. bunch of douche bags with no brains...

Money and no brains.. sad.

So, Tabasco company would rather buy hot.com instead of tabasco.com??

Give me a break.

And who is going to order hot sauce over the net?


People are paying money to see "Shemales" on the net however.
Big money. The price made business since in many ways

Buyers are looking to make money not just brand a product and in most cases the people with the big money to buy already have a branded product.

I believe the right buyer would pay a million for hot.com but claimng that it would get that in any auction on any domain site it probably way off.
That's what I'm saying.

I can sell a bag of my shit for 50k if the buyer is a private detective trying to get my DNA sample for the murder of Prince Charles; but that would not be the "market value" for a bag of my shit.

Hot.com is easily worth in millions. Damn if I had 100k lying around and the domain was being sold for a 100k I would have picked it up in a flash. It can easily make millions.

Give us a break down of how you determined it's value.

DAMN........

www.host.com - parked, but probably making a lot because of super name and well done park page.

:disgust:mad::disgust:mad:

The traffic is low but if the conversion is high on hosting commisions then they might actually be making some money.

think he'll be here all week?

Have any idea how big the "chili head" demographic is?
Know how many visit Hatches (I think thats the name) NM each year for that festival alone?
Do you know how many microbrew style hotsauces are out there?
Are you aware of the contest scenes and the like?

Tabasco is a well known and to many bland been around forever hasbeen hot sauce. Now people want shit that will melt your bone marrow or bring out the sweetness of a given pepper and that shit.

Alexa rank 400 000, that's about 300 uniques a day. I have a site that ranks in that area and that's what it gets. That's not bad if you ask me.

sorry, take it back. Alexa ranking 400k means at least 1000 uniques a day, got it confused with wrong site of mine.
