Social.com

I'd like to get some appraisals from the members of this forum on the name
Social.com

This is the 6 letter dictionary word.

Some history on the name:

I registered the name in 1995. In that year, I was using the name for a web site I called the Social Cafe. The Social Cafe was Cool Site of the Day, http://www.coolsiteoftheday.com/cgi-bin/stillcool.pl on Jun 22, 1995

In October of 2006 the name was out of my possession for a couple weeks until my Registrar at the time, Namesecure, was able to recover it. It is now at Moniker and I intend to put it up for auction in early 2007.

Your kind opinoins are appreciated!

That is really a great name you have got.

 

that has to be worth some bucks. I know I would shell out quite a bit for a name like that.

 

Its probably around $75,000.00 if you sell as is right now. GJ on the name.

 

It is worth over 100k. It is a premium domain.

 

Excellent domain name .
High $xx,xxx to Mid $xxx,xxx depending on the client...

 

$xxx,xxx to $x,xxx,xxx (six to seven figures)

 

If this is a legit request... Sell it and sell it now.

At no point in the future is a website with a name like "Social.com" going to have better traction than it would today.

 

I'd be interested to find out how much you sell it for once it's all gone through. If you could let us know...

 

I'd say mid $xxx,xxx easily. it's a very marketable domain name.

 

Thanks for your kind replies!


I'm wondering if people can share any experiences they've had with using a video to promote their domain names?

I made my first attempt at doing so:

Not professional, but probably not too bad?

I dug up an old version of Flash 5 that I had in the attic to put it together. I used a couple stock videos from http://www.istockphoto.com/index.php - iStockphoto. They cost just 5 credits apiece ($12). I had a friend do the voice overs which I recorded with my MP3 player/recorder.

Why don't you put the domain for sale on Sedo?

 

Thanks for the suggestion.

I haven't decided yet on where I will have the auction.

Sedo is definetely the way to go. They would certainly give you a homepage feature on such nice a name. Then post proxy posts on Dnforum and sitepoint at minimum.

As others have mentioned I would also advise of a high xx.xxx$ reserve if you auction it of.

Good luck in your sale of one great domain

 

For such a sale, i thing its best to hire a professional aution house as the money is big and they can realize the mamimum potential of the name

Easily a 6 figure

 

at least low 6. You should get a domain broker. You will find more information @ dnforum.
And don't go around telling everyone you own the name

 

yea, thats one worth spending the money to advertise the sale of

 

Congratulations for the domain name!

 

nice name...
