[stevef1fan]

hi everybody, I am looking for your thoughts regarding potential value on this name on behalf of a friend, also possible usage for this name.

cheers steve

 

[stevef1fan]

Really looking for some guide prices from the guys on here with experience.

Most appreciated.

Cheers,

Steve.

I like it steve, shame he hasn't got goto.co.uk to go with it.

If it was mine I'd have it listed at 4 figures.

[stevef1fan]

Thanks Grant. Yes, it is a shame about Goto.

I think he'll let me have Go2 for around 2k.

Do you think it's a bit of a gamble at that price ?

Could you ever see this name making 5 figures ?

If so, as a friend I'll have to let him know !!

Thanks again,

Steve.

I wouldn't pay £2k for it - it's one of those domains where you could be waiting forever for the right buyer to come along and they may never arrive. As for 5 figures, who knows!

If you're buying it to develop then it's a different story, it's a short catchy domain.

Grant

 

[stevef1fan]

Cheers for that Grant.

Yes, waiting for an end user I might be waiting forever !

I'll have to see if I can get it for less and develop it.

Your insight is greatly appreciated on this.

Thanks,

Steve.

i like it too, very good point though is that as a brand its lacking because of not owning goto.co.uk. This would put off the sort of buyer you would be looking for down the line IMO and for that reason i wouldnt buy it for that personally.

With 2k to spend in this climate there are lots of maybe safer bets and better names to be had imo.

 

[stevef1fan]

Yes, I hadn't even considered the issue regarding Goto - certainly the potential for alot of lost traffic for any-one considering a pricey marketing campaign.

Might have to stick my 2k on Andy Roddick this afternoon, much as I'd love Murray to win, I'm surprised Roddick's such long odds with a 158mph serve !!


But yes, the consensus seems nice name, but for the issues raised maybe touching 4 figures and not much more unless the right buyer comes along.

Thanks again,

Steve.

Indeed, if you've got £2k to spend Steve I can probably sort you something out on the same level or better

Rainy days money Grant. I just wondered if Go2 was one not to be missed.

However, If Lance Armstrong wins this year's tour I'll be in touch !!

Cheers,

Steve.

I like the name. If it were for sale as a bundle with goto co uk, the price would no doubt be much higher so perhaps this is a more affordable opportunity. Good name for a travel website, or even a freewebs clone (e.g. go2.co.uk/thenagshead).

 

[stevef1fan]

Hi Jasman,

Yes, really is a shame about goto. I might see if they're open to offers.

If I could get the pair of names for under a grand by the sounds of it that would be a deal.

Cheers,

Steve.

 

[grantw]

The owner is a member on here I think.

Grant

 

[stevef1fan]

Cheers Grant. Appreciate the info. Will speak to my friend from a better informed perspective.

Jeez, I wish I'd gone with my instincts and backed Roddick to beat Murray - his price was way too long given the weight of expectation on Murray !

Thanks,

Steve.

Do Jet2 worry about not owning jetto?

The idea of marketing is that you establish your brand - if you were to worry about every conceivable similar sounding name or spelling you'd never get anywhere.

Marketing it correctly will alleviate all other problems.

Domains aren't everything you know?
