    You can sell it for $10, $100, $1,000, or more. The domain name itself does not hold the value. Your ability to research and find a buyer who absolutely wants and/or needs it will determine the value.

      Wow, put the site in my sig in it (which hasn't really been built yet) and it said the domain was worth $3,127.17. Oh, another one of my sites; $6,018.71. Newer one I got was $71. So it does show lower numbers.

      Of course, as was said above, it doesn't matter what a "tool" says it is worth, it all depends on what someone is willing to pay.

      Edit: Hmm.. I might see if I can sell the 6k valued one. Big site, old, just doesn't make money. Worth a shot.

    I love all those domain appraisal tools/sites. They are works of pure fiction. I have two sites that I always use to test them. Site A earns me all of around $300 a year. Site B earns me around $500 - 600 per month.

    For entertainment only, this is what those tools tell me they are worth:

    Websiteoutlook
    Site A - $8857.99
    Site B - $3990.33

    urlappraisal
    Site A - $919.80
    Site B - $219.00

    'Nuff said!

      Agree Carol. The price you get for any domain is going to be driven by the buyer(s) as Gene already stated. If you have a good generic domain that appeals to a large number of potential buyers then like everything in life you can start asking big money. You can do your own appraisal by simply going to places like dn journal, sedo and godaddy to find what similar domains sold for. But again this is only going to be a rough guide as buyers decide the price.

    It's probably worth the paper it's printed on.

    Or it's worth the price you paid for it, divided by two and then multiplied by 1.5.

    GEE, you registered the domain like a week ago and you're trying to sell it? Forget it all. First off, there is a 60 days period when the domain cannot be transferred (read the GoDaddy rules or your Whois information), and then if the original owner of the .com domain (which was registered in Feb. 2000 - almost 12 years ago) was not interested in it, you will get crap.

    Now, there's been a similar question about a .info domain, and my reply here. Maybe you find it useful, too.

      Just to be clear - You can push any domain to any buyer ANY time, if it's within the same registrar. The 60-day rule does not apply.

      What kind of logic is this? Just because the .com owner isn't interested, doesn't mean their competitor isn't (not necessarily referring to this particular domain). In fact, in my experience, most non-COM domains are sold to people not related in any way to the .COM owner.

    Just having the word buy and having four letters doesn't make it valuable. It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it, so you would need to find someone who is willing to pay for it. Oh, and forget about automated software estimations. They are worthless and do not reflect the value of a domain.

    A domain name can certainly have value without any site attached. company.com, business.com and many other domains were sold for significant amounts based on the domain. Even fiver.com was recently purchased for $70K (by the owner of fiverr.com).

    Four letters doesn't do much unless they are brandable. Goto.com was fairly brandable. Buyd.com is not. Why? It isn't easy to pronounce in a certain way with a certain spelling. It is that simple.

    That is why fiverr.com bought fiver.com. People were telling others about fiver via word-of-mouth. They sometimes forgot to mention that there was an extra r at the end.

    Buyme.com is brandable. Buyit.com is brandable. Buyd could be buydee.com, or buyde.com or buydy.com... and probably many other variations.

      Just about any one word dictionary term will most likely sell for a high price. You still need a buyer that is willing to pay the price. Without that, it has no value.

      Buyd is not a dictionary term. In fact, the addition of the d on the end of the domain only confuses, since it means nothing to most people. Buy.org .com or .net or even .info would be much more valuable in terms of investment or even adding something on the end that is more meaningful, like buyhouse or buyfurniture, etc.

    as its not monetised its not worth anything not even the $10 as it would cost that to transfer it to the other person!

      Well, whether or not it is monetized really makes no difference. I imagine that most of these domains, Two-Letter .Com Changes Hands for Six Figures to Top This Week's Domain Sales Chart, were not monetized, but you can plainly see that they held a lot of value to someone.

        ... and to introduce another potential factor ...

        TRAFFIC

        If a domain name got tons of traffic, I would consider buying it regardless of its revenue, monetization, length, yada, yada.

    First off, don't listen to anyone that says a domain does not have value as it is not being monetized. That is pure fiction as there is a very robust domain aftermarket for domains themselves.

    Next, while a domain is only worth what someone will pay for it, there are certain guidelines. A four letter domain with the word "buy" in it does have limited value, but being a .org that makes it about 20% the value of a .com with the same name.

    To get a sense of what the "value" is of this domain, try using domainsindex.com or estibot.com as a guide (do not take the numbers given as the "truth", but rather see if they think there is any value or not).

    It appears that BuyD.com is being forwarded as a lead geneation type site to a Chinese website. Don't overlook translations for the domain outside of English to see if there is value. Just today the domain Qupin.com was sold for over $7000 on a drop catcher's website - its a Chinese term.

    Good luck!

    As others have said. A site is only as valuable as someone is willing to pay for it. With that said, 4 letter domains .com are valuable. Exact amount? Check SEDO.

    I own a 4 letter .com and the seller price was listed for $4K. I bargained and think I got a decent deal.

    It all depends on which 4 letters you're talking about otherwise the range is too big for an estimate. Prices can range from 1K - 100K and beyond.

    i.e.: abcd.com is probably worth much more than wxyz.com

    A few questions you should ask yourself:

    1- Can you easily pronounce the name or is it an acronym?
    2- Is it easy to type?
    3- How bad do you need the .com version? How would you benefit? Is it worth the price?

    Remember you can always bargain...

      As far as I can see, companies often protect their brand by buying all possible TLD domains relating to their main .com domain or try to impose a legal ban on using such domains by others. There was a great legal row over gmail.pl (Polish national TLD) some time ago, but Google went away with nothing as the domain was registered before the creation of Gmail (it was an acronym). Anyway, some companies do try to have all the major TLD domains in their portfolio. That's the reason for my opinion.

      Maybe the domain could function as an acronym, too? For example for Beat-Up-Your-Drums But then a website would beat-up its value, too

        I think it is worth about $4000. I seen on wheel of fortune where someone wanted to buy a d and it cost $4000. Oh wait you can only by vowels. Buya or buye or buyi would be worth something but not buyd.

        I completely agree - any company with foresight and a desire to protect their brand will register the matching major TLDs. Most companies just don't do it though, until they get big enough, but by then it's usually to late (or costly).

    I dabble a fair bit in selling domains. Basically a domain is only worth what someone will pay.
    For a non immediately brandable domain, longtail EMD's, nonsensical domains, then I would agree that the domain is of little value.

    However I have found the following to be modifying factors
    -Traffic domain is getting
    -Is it an established site
    -income generation
    -dictionary .coms
    -age
    -brandable domain(easily brandable)

    If you have one or more of those you can start to increase your price. Also its a .org. This makes it worth even less.

    Sorry
