    Estibot says one of them is worth $180 and the other $290 - however - an appraisal rarely matters is somebody is interested in the domain. My friend has sold 4 domains for over $5K just this month alone and the last domain I sold was $3500 so there is a market out there.

    If someone is ready to pay $3k for the domain name I suppose that indeed worth it

    LOL! I'm with you on that bnapolii! Copy! What??? I personally think the DNs are pretty much only worth cost of registration, if that.
    From 11+ yrs. experience, & never having marketed one of my 3000+ DNs since 1997 even once & selling dozens of them consistently for not less than $1000+ to $25,000 - I indeed would agree that anything is worth only how much it's worth to someone who WANTS it! Basic rule of basic sales. LOL

    I personally would not pay $3000. I would really have to want it to even consider such a thing. The names don't make much sense. PageAge.com is OK I guess...

    obviously domains are worth what someone is willing to pay, and if more than one person wants a domain, the price they believe it is worth becomes higher when they start to bid against each other for it

    to answer the op though, those domains are worthless, or "reg. fee" as people say

    it is easy for someone to ask any price they pick out of a hat in an auction that they are not even paying to advertise in, getting any bids though is the part that separates the ones that have any sense of reality

    If you find the right buyers for your domains you can sell them for more than just few dollars :) But finding right people can be tough sometimes.

    Godaddy showing value for pageage.com for $1129 not $3000 which I think worth.

    This Premium Domain Name can be purchased for $1,129.00*

    Hmmm, whatever the price of a website would only matter to those who are willing to buy it. For me, I will buy such website if it is of an interest to me and ofcourse can bring in the dollars!

    Domain names only hold value to people who are interested. You can have the worst name and not have a clue what to do with it but someone will see it different and may pay $$$ for it

    That exactly the way I see it. It's certainly no type-in, too generic to be really brandable, noone searches for that term and not worth 4 digits. I personally wouldn't pay more than 50 bucks for it.

    I don't know, maybe if I had a good project in mind and that name could "improve" the project, probably I would pay. A couple of weeks ago I registered a domain that I considered premium, FinancialOasis.com, and a 2 weeks later I was offered $500 for it but I declined the offer because I think it's a great name to develop a financial site.

    Maybe if you can match your name with the development of an online service you may receive 4-5 figures easily. Anyone can make a burger better than McDonalds, but they know how to sell their crap.

    Man, a price of a domain is only worth the amount that a person is willing to pay for it.

    I certainly wouldn't pay that much for the domains listed as it is. It would be another story, if there were good developed sites attached to the domain names.

    :)
