Comments on: Assigning value to a speculative domain http://domainbinge.com/archives/speculation/assigning-value-to-a-speculative-domain/ A beginner's guide to the domain industry Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:55:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Matt http://domainbinge.com/archives/speculation/assigning-value-to-a-speculative-domain/#comment-37 Matt Sat, 07 Jul 2007 03:35:17 +0000 http://domainbinge.com/archives/speculation/assigning-value-to-a-speculative-domain/#comment-37 Charlie: Thanks for the personal experience. I think it shows that, ultimately, the valuation question (and the answer to the 'should I sell?' question) depends on the individual domain and the particular strategy the domainer is using to grow the stable. A 239% gain is hard to walk away from. ;-) Thanks again. Charlie:

I too just had an offer for a domain I have, and I took the 239% return on my investment. Did I need to sell it? No, it was paying for itself nicely. Did I want to sell it? Yes, but only to continue funding my new vice of domains. I figured that since I only own 22 domains (I'm just starting and I'm very selective about what I get) that this bounty will help me find another 239%'er, and another, and hopefully a even bigger payday. At the minimum, I should be able to fund a nice stable of keepers. Matt,

From now on, I will be using that too! I, too, had the same dilemma, to sell or to hold but with your checklist, I think making the decision is much easier. Thanks!, Al.

It’s really tricky with truly speculative domains, because the valuation is that much more difficult. But the reward could be that much greater, too.

Thanks for the comment.

He stated also that the value of a sale goes beyond the money you earn. He said that when he sold a domain for 1.2 million that it was actually worth a lot more. He used that money to invest in other domains and stock investments that made him about another million dollars plus made some rather large purchases to improve his lifestyle. I think another question that should be asked is: Are there larger opportunities that could be seized through the income generated by this sale?
