Wanted: Domain Appraisal Quick pricing

[retired_member16]

Ive done it again. Reg a domain, put a quick site up, 2 mins later my email to interested parties snares a buyer.

I sent the email expecting nothing back and I fully intended just to let my mini-site bob around on Google picking up a few quid. However someone out there liked my price and the sale is all but agreed.

However, have I sold myself short? The sale will go through, im a man of my word, however how much would you value

lock smiths associtation .co uk (all 1 word) at?

I will give you my sale price in 1 hour from now.

£350 is my guess ?

Bet it's these guy's http://www.locksmiths.co.uk but I reckon between £100 and £450 so i'll go for £250

Where's my sig??? it's all setup correctly.

£495


Im pleased because my flippant off the cuff email that led to the sale didnt involve my usual trick of giving a domain away for peanuts.

Compared with your valuations, im happy.

golddiggerguy - you sig will appear after 25 posts.

£450 for a typo not bad !

I've never tried the email approach, do you mean you emailed lots of lock smiths? or you just emailed to a list of previous purchasers?

If the former then I really must try that, does anyone else do that?
I guess you need to be careful with trademarks/branding DRS etc. when doing that?

Ha, thats not a typo, thats me being fat fingered

I emailed the top 5 listings for 'lock smith' in Google and so far 3 have expressed an interest and bidding is now ongoing.

I would do this will all domains I own, for the sake of a 5 min email you might strike it lucky, although for any TM issues, I will let them come to me.

Spamming?

Do you ever get complaints with sending emails out to companies or people about domain names you've bagged trying to get them interested?

Not so far and if I do, I would simply delete them - no problem!
