If it is as big as you think, why not develop a site yourself?

Exactly. Why not use it yourself?

But if you really want to sell your domain name, I think you need to somehow convince someone to buy it or if it's that good, that someone will find you. Also, since you have bought the domain name, why are you afraid to say what its name is?

Hi ckbank,

He's not afraid, he said what the domain was in post#7.

It's moneyfinaceetc.com

Because it's not my field per say and I don't know how to break into the finance niche. It just seems so competitive and overcrowded... But the name is premium quality though...

You will get known as a tease otherwise!

I was in real estate for a long time. One of the great truths about real estate is that the only real way to find out what a property is worth is to see who buys it and at what price. No "price tags" cut it - if it remains unsold at asking price $x, then all we know is that it is too dear at $x or someone would have bought it....

I already know about Sedo and Afternic etc... but I have the feeling that this domain name could be really big and I want to sell it as fast as possible...

ps.: the domain is very new and has no pr yet, but it's in a very lucrative niche (finance). It contains the words "money" and "finance" in it, but it's not an exact keyword match domain. The domain name has a great brand quality to it, what should I do?

It depends on who would want it really. I never buy domains that aren't exact matches to what I'm doing. Could it be better suited for a larger company to use?

Thanks

I get it. The question is: do other people "get it" by typing it into a search engine, and how many of them? Because as a domain-name on its own, without a site, business, traffic, income, or anything else attached to it, that's its only value above and beyond reg-fee, isn't it?

  It is difficult to give a price for a domain name like that, if it was popular one word, dictionary word domain then it would have instant value and how much would depend on the word or it can be even a popular phrase but names like that are really hard to find as a new reg. The domain name like yours might have some value as well but it all depend on how much is somebody willing to pay for it.
  
  One of the good indicators for something special is to see if the other extensions are already taken, if they are than you probably got something there, also to get the feel about what people in domaining industry think about your domain name is to post it for appraisal in forums like NamePros or DomanState, of course the valuation would not be hundred percent accurate but at least you can get a sense of the approximate price range.

In domaining, just one little character can mean the difference between a million dollar name and a $10 name.

Sorry, but I can find a hundred domain names right now containing the words MoneyFinance. That doesn't mean they have any value whatsoever.

Adding "etc" completely kills the value. This is not to say somebody won't be willing to fork over some decent cash for it, but finding that buyer is the challenge.

You can get a "feel" of the market value of your domain by going to DN Sale Price- Domain Name Sales Price and History and entering a few details. You'll get a list of similar domains, along with what they actually sold for. Take this information with a grain of salt. The ONLY one who can tell you the value of your domain is the buyer.

that's not really a great domain tbh. certainly not as big as you made it sound. it's unlikely that is a term people will be searching for, making the "etc" part about as useful as "abc" or "123".

Here is a site to explore if you think you have a brandable name.

I have a few generic brandable domains going on auction that I'll be placing here if my reserve is not met.

Looks like they try to sell you on buying a logo from them but you can get one done at fiverr for $5.

Finally some help! Thanks Aaron!

I definitely think that the name is brandable. But I guess brandability is hard to evaluate...

Yes, but how many of them actually make sense and could be built up as a brand?

Usually if you have not expirience with these kind of things you will believe your domain to be worth thousands of dollars. I did the same mistake as everyone did: Buy a domain because it sounded so cool. After some time I had dozens of virtually worthless domains. Don't fall for it. Get it listed on sedo and you will see how much people offer you, if they offer you anything at all!

A couple of things make a domain precious:
- Traffic, people know this domain allready
- Age and Page Rank
- It matches a monetizable keyword with at least 1000 exact searches daily
- It's a monetizable one word domain

If none of those apply then your domainname is okayish at most. But it'll definately not be a big fish.

This is a very subjective thing. That etc at the end could mean something to the right buyer, but I think Gene is right in stating that most buyers would be completely turned off by that.

If it was something like MoneyFinance.com, then that's something that would be pretty much regarded as universally valuable by many.

With the Etc at the end, it enters the realm of brandable domains, and the value of these are largely subjective. How much you get for your domain is going to depend on how much prospecting and marketing you do, because this is definitely not something that is universally valuable - you'll have to find the right buyer who finds branding value in this.

Yes I am aware that nowadays the original purpose or meaning of the domain extension does not play that much role at all and if I had money.org I would have used it for making money as well but I bet these sites would change it for .com if they could.

That's not the point, if it was available would you buy any of them for under $10?

Better still, do you think any of them are worth more than $10?

I think that .org extension does not go very well with finance and money.

Thinking can cost you, my friend.

I completely agree.

May or may not, being the main point, I don't see with those kind of words, a domain ending means a great deal. I thought all money, finance and loan domains were long taken.

If money.com is worth a fortune and there are only a limited number of other domain endings, there are a lot more people, companies and organisations that want the domain name - money.whatever

Howinfo - would you buy money.org if it were available, for a whooping $8?

Of course I would I would use it as well and I am not talking about non-profit purposes but my first choice would have been .com and the second .net, If I had developed a site that would help people who are in financial difficulties something non-profit then my first choice would have been .org, but that is just me.

If you think its worth something, someone else will too. The main thing is to hold onto it long enough for someone willing to spend money on it. The longer you hold onto it the more it is worth. And if you are going to hold onto it, you might as well add some content. You probably wont make very much if your going for a quick sell,
you could try flippa.com

I hate to break this to you but the domain itself isn't really worth much more then regfee , my apologies if this is not what you hoped for.

to give you an example , i used estibot to value your domain, the value there is 0$
i have a domain hqfilms dot com , undeveloped , estibot values it at 650 $ , i tried selling it, but i don't even get offer over 50$ .

estibot might not be the best appraisal tool, but i use it all the time before i reg a domain

gives me a little insight on how the domain might do.

my opinion is develop it , make it into a finance blog or something, and then see how it goes, maybe you can sell it as wa website then

just my 2 cents
