Are you going to develop it? If not, then £1500 sounds reasonable to me.
I would probably go back with something like "£2k and it's yours" as it's a decent name rob.

The domain is taken in every major extension, google shows the average cost per click on adwords is a HUGE £30.17. It's worth a lot more in my opinion.

It would be with development but undeveloped then a couple K is about right in my opinion.

This name could get very high SE position because of the keywords and regardless of the hyphen. And the name commands attention as a pure generic in the financial industry.

In combination with the amazing adsense/adwords potential, I'd either counter much higher or minimally develop, prove revenue potential, and put it up for sale again.

I would personally develop the site also. Wouldn't need much to be honest in order to get a good ranking. Get revenue and stats then sell for higher as others have stated.

I still stand by the value of it undeveloped but developed it could easily be much higher.

thankyou everyone. Really appreciate your comments. I used to own the name 6 years ago, i then had it at number one in google for secured loans, loans,personal loans and many more search terms. I then sold it together with many other finance names to a loan company.

Recently, i have reaquired this name but was unsure about how hard it would be to achieve the rankings of before, it is alot more competitive now! So was undecided on whether to sell or not as is. I will develop it again having read your posts so thanks for your input!

if any name was developed it could/would make much higher, I can develop xyz123.biz into something and sell it for a premium.

I have a domain which is totally unrelated to the product on the site, but with my seo / content skills it ranks number 4 out of over 37 million competitors and the domain name is nothing to do with the actually content on the site and the phrase gets searched for over 100,000 times a month and the adwords are about £30 a click to be at the top of serps.

For example, I am not going to give it away but it is something like this

e.g. my site is www.guaranteed4u.co.uk and I am currently ranked number 4 in the serps for secured loans out of over 36 million competitors.

Domain name and the relationship of serps is obviously a tiny bit relevant, but a tiny thing which is no-where near as important as people make out, especially with google. Google changes the goal posts with no warning all the time.

If the theory that the domain name "wouldn't need much" to get it ranked high" everyone who had a "generic" domain name would be sitting high in the serps with just some basic / inexperienced seo work.

With a VERY competitive domain such as secured-loans.com it would take anywhere upto 5 years to get that ranked on the front page and spending lots of time and money in the process, and then you would be competing with some major players - moneyexpert, money supermarket, alliance and leicester etc etc

And with a hyphen I think £1500-£2000 is a very good offer in my opinion.

Just my 2p

Good luck whatever you decide to do, you will need a CCL and DPA license to run a "data collecting" website though and the FSA are getting stronger with dishing out fines for unlicensed websites etc, this is something I have studied in detail when before I sold my "first timer buyer" website a while back.

Cheers

Thanks for that,we used to need a ccl but the Fsa were awful to do with anything web/finance back then so good to know they are more on the ball nowadays ive been out of the game for a few years
