Price on pirks.com
 

Hey folks,

I've been contacted about selling a domain I own - pirks.com.

I told the interested party this is the first domain I ever registered back in '96 so it's a bit sentimental to me, plus I know 5-letter domains that are memorable words (read: very marketable) don't happen these days so it must have some value to it. Trouble is, I don't know how much value.

First he offered me $65 and I laughed. Then I get an email back with $1000 offer so I guess he's actually serious.

Any opinions on what that domain might really be worth?

start an auction on sedo with $1000 reserve price and see how far it will go.

I've received that advice twice now. Guess i should follow it! Thanks! :)

Sedo auctions aren't as visible as they once were. I'd sooner try to get that offer up (maybe counter $3,000-$5,000) and then consider taking. It's an interesting short name but the i will only cause misspellings of it.

You'd have a better shot at getting more that way than via Sedo auction. 3+ years ago maybe, but Sedo screwed their homepage which used to feature a lot of auctions and now doesn't.
