Ask HN: How to Sell This Premium Domain Name

4 pointsby Concoursalmost 2 years ago
Hi HNer,<p>I have owned a premium domain name for over 12 years. I purchased it 12 years ago for a printing on-demand project, but that project has been indefinitely postponed.<p>I need cash flow to bootstrap another project, so I&#x27;m looking for the best way to sell this domain name for a fair price. Godaddy has appraised it at over $3,000, but that seems low to me. I could wait until I&#x27;m ready to start the project, but I&#x27;m not sure if that&#x27;s the best use of my time. I could use the cash flow now for other things.<p>The domain name is: printive.com<p>Please advise:<p>- What price point seems fair for this domain ? - What would be the best approach to sell it ?<p>Thank you PS: No I am not a domain squatter.

Maybe it is just me, but it doesn&#x27;t &quot;sound&quot; like something that anyone would pay a premium for, given that someone is already using printive as the name of a company (and has printive.net).<p>Unless them, of course.<p>They could be interested to &quot;upgrade&quot; to a .com.

It&#x27;s difficult to know. For a couple of 2-letter GTLDs of mine I&#x27;ve had suggestions&#x2F;offers a bit higher than that. I had a <i>much</i> higher offer for one, but when I started the AML (&#x27;anti-money-laundering&#x27;) process at the suggestion of my lawyer, everything went very quiet...

I don’t use godaddy so I’m not sure how their system works. But if they will give you $3k for it I’d take it and run. If that is just their suggested price that you list it on the marketplace for, they are being awfully optimistic.<p>Unless printive.net wants to buy it, I can’t see anybody paying that much for the name.

Fair price? $0.<p>Best approach? Let it expire and cease to spend time worrying about it. You can find better uses for your time.<p>Even when there was enforced artificial scarcity in domain names, the market for them was far more illusion than reality. Today, that &quot;market&quot; is totally a propaganda technique: &quot;make money fast with no effort!&quot;

This isn&#x27;t a premium domain name. Its worth a lot less than you think, maybe nothing.

printive.net might want it.<p>&gt; Godaddy has appraised it at over $3,000, but that seems low to me.<p>The automated tool? Means nothing, it&#x27;s only worth what someone is willing to pay, not what an automated tool tells you

$3k seems a bit high to me.
