Thanks

£7000 to reseller, £60,000 to £100,000 to end user, £30k quick sale maybe.

no, you seem happy enough when I do very good valuations of your domains, as others are, do you know how much money is involved in publishing houses? Get one of them interested and he's laughing, £30k plus domain, simple as that. Obviously there always needs to be a buyer, stories.co.uk come on, you're not telling me you'd sell that for £5k to an end user surely.

nice name but due to fairly limited usage, i'd say £3 - 7k end user.

5k end user - stories are hardly taking the internet by storm :mrgreen:

or book shop/ publisher might pick it up then maybe 8/10k..

still an ok domain though.

story.co.uk is better imho

I think the plural is better.

Lee, I'm not having a go at you I just think you are way out on this one, nice name though but limited commercial potential IMHO.

Fair enough, considering all books will be online in the end and most downloadable to a news pc that you can read on trains or journeys, it could be subs based from a publishing house or simply a free service for writers to upload their stories and users view via subs etc etc or just a stand alone download service, loads of money.

£30k for a quick sale, could get more if lucky. always lucky if you get more. I think you're wrong in saying there's no money and the above idea is just the tip of any commercial potential. I only mentioned commercial potential as that's what you moved on to. The name alone I feel, speaks for itself.

Yes 100k is stretching it but there's a lot of money in publishing. Imagine authors and writers going direct to the consumer without seeing all their money stolen by a publishing house, it could be quite lucrative.

Yeah, but what you are talking about is books or novels.

If I was to ask you what you were reading at the moment I would say, what book or maybe what novel, there's no way I would say what story/ies are you reading.

To me stories relate to kids and that's where I would see this domain being used by an end user. Although if it was me I would prefer kidsbooks.co.uk or childrensbooks.co.uk

As for value I have no idea I would guess Jonno would be closer to the real value tho, however, for what it's worth, I wouldn't pay much more than about £1k

Just my opinion Lee so don't take offence.

You're very close to an idea I had for this site a while back

 

[maverick123]

[retired_member17]

This is pretty much what LULU does.

I do like the domain stories.co.uk and the sky is the limit for end users (with a bit of good luck) but I would say 3k reseller, 10k regular end user (if there is such a thing!)
