Wanted: Domain Appraisal Acorns Little Helpers Please!!

[jimmc]

Hi All,

I "KNOW" Santa has left the building but lets keep the Christmas spirit throughout this brand new decade, or at least through 2010 LOL.

I'm seeing some movement on several domains recently. So I'm interested in what the usual suspects will think this one is worth?

On this occasion I'm not talking about a one word generic or an LLL but one I've had regular offers on over the years and now a Sedo offer just as I had let it known it was going as part of the for sale portfolio.

So I thought I'd ask you bunch of tightwads lol - Domainer and end-user prices please.

Thanks guys/girls - Jim.

OH and I promise to put my two pennies worth in for anyone who asks about their names too...

 

[denchomsky]

IMO :

Not a widely used search term as far as I Know so :

Domainers £xx
End User Low £xxx

Of course if someone really wants that name for their business then £????

Moving my money is something I do often, such as taking £10k at 1.98% Balance Transfer Fee for 18 Months 0% (Virgin, Close the card after, reapply 3 months later), and putting it into 4-5% Bond/ISA. Pay the minimum balance each month on the credit card, until the 18 months are up then paying it off. Little movements like earn a few hundred quid interest, same with high interest regular savings accounts, barclays offer 4.25% for example.

Add the borrowed credit to your own capital and you can make potentially £1,000s per year

Most of its done via Standing Order and/or Direct Debits so takes a few hours to setup and nets £100s.

This practice is becoming more common place, so the domain has excellent potential as a moneysavingexpert type blog and forum.

Not so much a price but appraisal for its use and inherent value

Thanks for your input Dennis but I think your'e way off base here mate.

This is a super, its very brandable and its memorable, with alliteration. Its bang on for the cash exchange, payday loan, or cash transfer market.

The lowest offer I've had is high xxx, this is a great hold and monetise domain.

But its going to go with the majority of the portfolio as I just dont have the time to manage them and I'm involved in other projects

There's good money in money transfers, its a high ad revenue sector

Here's some AdWords data:

money transfer
£1.35 - £1.99 1 - 3 38 - 48 £60 - £100

money transfers
£1.52 - £2.03 1 - 3 4 - 5 £6 - £10

[money transfer]
£1.59 - £2.08 1 - 3 2 - 3 £4 - £7

[money transfer]
£1.59 - £2.08 1 - 3 2 - 3 £4 - £7

There's more money in property for the shrewd investor so for me its back to being bob the builder, well developer actually.

Money-Movers-dot-co - I can just see it coming to a High Street near you.

All the best.

BRILLIANT Steve, if I was going to develop it that's a fantastic route to take, just imagine the traffic, not to say the commissions you could make from that one eh

In these days where everyone is looking to move money for longer credit, interest free periods, or to make a bit of extra cash - genius!

No question its a great brand.

 

[Paulo1Chop]

opinions welcome...!?!?

Question brilliantly asked and answered by your good self jim!!

 

[jimmc]

Would still like to hear some values though just to make sure those mushrooms I had last night weren't magic!!

Domainer price: 0 (if I saw it on a sales thread for 10 pounds I wouldn't buy it)
End-user: perhaps mid xxx to low x,xxx to the right company. After all, an end-user may well be willing to brand the name and see something in it. A domainer won't be (hence the 0 value I gave above).

This is quite a catchy, brandable name in a good sector (money transfer) where ad revenue exists. If the price was right, I expect some domainers who like to buy brandable names would see some potential in the name if the price was right. Buying brandables means being prepared for a long term low turnover game, and is less quantifiable than keyphrase domains, but I feel there may be an appeal for some.

I have a few keyphrase domains in this area including money transfer .org.uk, transfer money .me.uk and funds transfer .org.uk, so you can see I quite like the sector.

Jimmc, As far as I know from reading this you have asked for opinions and when someone has given you one you argue against it.

It's one of the reasons people have stopped giving appraisals on here. In my view people don't want opinions they want to hear what they want to hear.

 

[namealot]

Maybe we should have an only “appraise domains high thread” some people can see value were others see none… Personally I take all appraisals with a pinch of salt…

Apart from if I ever post any then of course I only wish high appraisals and even higher offers

 

[jimmc]

Graemme I'm not arguing with anyone. I thanked Dennis for his opinion, I didn't agree with it but I thanked him anyway. I just question sometimes why people would write things like that (0) when they have inferior names that theyre trying to sell for a minimum of £2,500 it just doesn't make any sense or maybe it does.

I try to help people where I can and when someone writes nonsense when there is absolutely no reason, it bloody annoys me. There's just no need or excuse for it.

If someone is looking for an appraisal I try to help, I'll give one to the best of my ability or if I really dont know I won't bother - but I never try to devalue domains.

If I get back what I dont want to hear then tough, maybe I've made a mistake but I want an appraisal whether its what I want to hear or not.

(Q) Do you have any names worth (0) I bet not.

Well I hope you are not accusing me of trying to selling overpriced domains because you have no grounds for doing so, so don't imply it please.

And why people say things like that is because that is there honest opinion, if you think I gave a somewhat negative appraisal for a laugh or something you are wrong and frankly paranoid and for you to accuse me of this is out of order, and bloody childish.

I agree with Edwin when he said if he saw it for a tenner he wouldn't buy it.

All your comparisons and stats are for the term Money transfers, you do not own moneytransfers.co.uk you own moneymovers which is nowhere near as good, and in my opinion not worth what you think it is, is that ok with you??

 

[jimmc]

Dennis dont throw your toys out of the pram, I wasnt talking about you!

You're not the one that has a minimum price for names set at £2,500

 

[GreyWing]

You're not the one that has a minimum price for names set at £2,500

and you aren't the ones who have to pay for renewal fees on them, everyone has different methods of business.

Just for the record I wasn't having a go at anyone, just unsure sometimes why people in general ask for appraisals when they have a rough idea of what it is worth to start with.

 

[jimmc]

No problem Grey

Why ask? well while at the end of the day any name is worth what the end user will pay, we all need help setting a valuation sometimes.

No toys, no pram.

I am not an idiot, you implied that I was trying to devalue your domain for some kind of ulterior motive, so don't patronise me.

 

[jimmc]

Jesus man, read the string, did you value my name at (0)?

Once more so you're crystal, I wasn't taking about you, got that - good!

Let your brain get into gear before you make a bloody fool of yourself.
