I have a bunch of starcraft domain names that I bought when the hype around Starcraft 2 was being released. I was just wondering if a few people might consider giving me an estimate value on them: buystarcraft.com buy-starcraft.com buystarcraft2.com starcraft2cheats.org starcraftiicheats.com starcraft2cheats.net sc2cheats.com
Well it's been a few years since I posted this thread, and I recently read this thread: http://seoblackhat.com/2010/01/18/starcraft-2-this-year-could-be-huge/ So I figured I'd ask if anyone would be willing to through some ballpark values on these domains because I'm seriously considering selling.
buystarcraft.com, starcraft2cheats.net and sc2cheats.com might be of some value, but not very high I'm afraid. Once again, I need to suggest you to develop something on those domains instead and sell them as websites, not as domains, getting high-$xxx (or perhaps even $xxxx, depending on how well you do it) instead of the $xx (low $xxx tops) you'll get for just the domains. By the way - cheat sites are extremely easy to develop. And even though you'll have A LOT of competition, it's still fairly easy to get decent traffic to those sites. Monetize by adsense (gamers are usually quite click-happy) and an affiliate offer from a store that sells the game - and sell the site once it has decent traffic and has generated some revenue. To give you an idea, I've recently sold a game-related site that had only around 15k visits per month (for only a few months) and not more than $20/month revenue for $1,100.
buystarcraft2.com will be a great domain to sell star craft, I think once released it will have a high search volume.
