    GameArcade.org

    Just something I bought a few years ago because it is short, simple, and it is very obvious what the site is about. I developed a arcade script of mine own to practice PHP, and it has been running for 2 years averaging 150 unique visitors a day. Haven't advertised or worked on the site since it was built. :)

    Sure, it has a .org, but look how short and sweet it is.

    I wish. The .com has been sold out for many many years. I was very surprised I was able to pick this one up.

    I would say based on my experience $25 - $125. Dot org's aren't fetching very much unless they are one worders or 3 characters.

    Good Luck!

    I think you should put some arcade site on there and it will certainly increase the value a great deal. Excellent domain IMHO.

    Well, to keep in line with the extension, you should have maybe lots of arcade tips? A .org denotes charity....I guess.

    Yes but its still an excellent keyword domain which should help with ranking in the SERPS.

    Custom made or self made? Is there a difference? I wrote the script myself (100% from scratch) so I could learn PHP.

    Nice site!

    Would the buyer get full rights to the script also?

    I think $100-$300 including the site and domain name.

    If the price was right I would consider selling both the domain and the exclusive rights to the script. Right now it is generating $xx per month for me without any work on my end, so I'm happy. :)

    Ok.. If it is generating an income as an arcade then there is no sense in changing that.

    I was just thinking that maybe the dot org domain could be used for a development site of the arcade script.

    That is actually a really really good idea.....I wish i thought of that a few years back. I could have kept improving the script, and licensed it.

    I'm booked 10hrs a day developing an advertising company for myself this year, so I guess GameArcade.org will remain a free arcade site for now.

    Well, if anyone is interested in the domain alone, I'd listen to offers over PM. I think the script would need a lot more work before it could be made sellable.
