    I want to sell htmlcssguides.com, registered on may 2008.

    I just want to sell the domain because it's not English.

    How much do you think it's worth?

    Hi, If you were trying to buy the domain how much would you pay for it? I see HTML and CSS keywords which are very related to one another, but guides I'm not sure it would be a great keyword. I would say that developing a website around it would probably add great value to this domain, a lot of developers out there need quick CSS tutorials. I am one of them :)

    I thought the price will be higher because it's an aged domain and tld is com.

    Actually the contents there are CSS dan HTML related (some of them are tutorials), the problem is it's non-English site.

    It had been PR2 for a while, but I don't have time to update it and now it drops.

    I think I will keep it if the price only under $200 :D

    Yes, and there will be an endless flow of people needing them - the problem is that when you do your "SWOT" analysis you'll see there are awesome sites already in that niche and it'd be a big job beating them. The domain is good for that but because of the competition that already exists and the fact that the domain is "single use" and can't be given another type of site I'd agree with @dcristo and say regfee only.

    The only thing going for this domain name is that it makes sense and visitors know what to expect. But that in itself doesn't make it valuable.

    But look at the Google results https://www.google.com/#q="html+css+guides"

    641 results... which is pathetic... even the singular version only has 5,840 results... that shows you no one is searching for this keyword, as it is not used in everyday language.

    You will quickly realize that any profit you can make on most domain names you should take. As a domain owner, you tend to overvalue your own domain names, and will hold out for that one buyer that will likely never come... meanwhile you're burning your money through domain renewals.

    You don't need to beat anyone, you just need to grab a portion of the market. Setting up a hamburger place doesn't mean you want to beat McDonald's, it just means that you know that people love hamburgers and if you make a good one people will come back for more...

    Unfortunately you do for the type of site we are talking about. Google's local search won't work in your favour, you aren't a fast food outlet or a plumber or a car sales yard. You won't see people there and think to pop in unless it's really, really good and you start getting mentioned by people with lots of readers.

    The newbies who need that kind of site often don't have anyone to refer them to an alternative site either so unless you turn up in search results the site is dead.

    BTW if the OP gets offered $500 take the deal before the the buyer has time to reconsider.

    That's pretty much what I said, you gotta make a good hamburger for people to mention the place and come back to it. To make money you gotta work hard.

    Yeah, but does word of mouth work in that niche - newbie coders?
    When you've got w3schools and lynda taking the role of mcdonalds?

    What? A newbie wants an answer quickly... and they tend not to remember the site that helped last time, they just google their next question
