Sedo Sale: positive.co.uk 10,000 GBP

I don't like it really, not sure what if could be used for.

The first thing that came into my head when I saw the word 'positive' was HIV and AIDS. But that's probably due to growing up in the 80s and the shock and awe AIDS and HIV+ adverts that we were subject to.

Interesting feedback with a couple of you of the opinion that the name is worth much more.

Frank Schilling recently tweeted:

"When you sell a premium domain name for a lot of money, the buyer always thinks it's worth more, and the buyer is almost always right."

I tend to agree with that.

But, as with any asset, until you sell it you don't realise a gain/loss. Of course there is potential income to be derived from it while you own it.

I think I might've been able to sell it for a higher return ...but I've no idea how long I'd have to wait for that to happen.

Nice to know about differences in opinion. I think it is a brand name and wouldn't likely expect to see it being used generically. As a one word brand name it seems strong. I'd have wanted substantially more than £10k for the positive attributes it conveys.

It's undeniably a great name, I like it a lot. However, stating that you would have wanted substantially more implies that you would potentially be a good buyer for the domain. I often find myself saying/thinking the same way as you suggest wrt to certain premium domains. Here's a 64 million dollar question ...

How much would YOU have been prepared, willing, and able to pay for
it as a speculative purchase? Please answer the question without critique and further questions. Just an answer.

If a client of mine had wanted the name for a specific purpose I would have suggested they budgeted far higher, based on the assumption that I had been its hypothetical seller. What I couldn't possibly have taken into account, until I approached the actual seller, was what their price expectation was. At £10k I'd have done cartwheels.

That's all fair enough, however my question was directed at you, not your potential client.

How much would YOU be prepared to pay as a speculative purchase ?

nice to see all the different views on this name but as long as the seller is happy with the price that is what matters. as I said in my earlier post congratulations and well done
