    Just those two words, without the .. or any dashes. Would want to sell the domain with the other major tlds included (.net, .org, .us).

    Thanks!

    Does it have any revenue, or is it just a site template?

    Cheers,
    Adam

    Well, was more of an failed startup attempt (we tried to recruit a network of insurance agents and sell leads directly to them. Got maybe 20 or so active agents, sent them their 10 free leads, but couldn't get the operation as a whole off the ground).

    So, no. No revenue at the moment, although I do have some backend components in place (like a database of 200K insurance agents, a website app built on Zend Framework and using Sphinx full-text search engine for internal search queries, such as http://www.agentzip.net/search?q=allstate&l=Palo+Alto ).

    The more functional site at the moment, is the .NET, http://www.agentzip.net . We reverted to sending ppc traffic to affiliates (instead of taking the leads internally) on the .COM, but couldn't really make that work either. Would be break even pretty much, 1K spend to 1K revenue per month.

    Anyway, perhaps my best approach would be reaching out to someone with a similar domain name or who is involved in an AGENT-prominent market (like real estate/insurance/travel), eg. ZipRealty.com is a large player in real estate, and noticed recently that've secured/developed ZipAgent.com, so maybe even just for a branding excercise or take trademark precautions, they might be interested in securing agentzip.com.

    Thank you for the reply, bk871.

    Regards,
    Jon

    the domain itself is not of high value, but i think along with the site, it is a great idea and you might be able to pull it off in the higher XX's

    Wow, really? You're saying upwards of $90 US? That'd be incredible. Where would I find such a buyer? Thanks gupta, will keep my fingers crossed.
