> The company has simply decided it wants a quick revenue bump as these domains have likely hit their peak in value.<p>This is a ridiculous observation given that Yahoo has revenue in billions of USD, and no, selling domains for thousands of dollars will not be any kind of meaningful "quick revenue bump." Tech reporting at its finest right here.
Direct link to the list of known domains for the fellow "enable javascript to see our content"-boycotters out there: <a href="http://cdn3.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/11/yahoo_domains.png" rel="nofollow">http://cdn3.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/11/...</a>
A lot of them are good old (noun).com. Those seem valuable at first, but is that still the case? It used to be that people would build a brand around something like pets.com, but now it seems much more popular to create a brand name that is more identifiable and trademarkable.
Here are some that caught my eye:<p>• webserver.com (250k-500k)
• finalcountdown.com (10k-25k)
• sandwich.com (50k-100k)
• airtrafficcontrol.com (10k-25k)<p>I imagine sandwich.com might be a good asset for a chain sandwich restaurant (subway or quiznos, perhaps).
Seems more likely that Yahoo is preparing to take a write-down on a collection of assets and is trying to mitigate the total amount by auctioning off the leftovers.
Fellow HN'ers,<p>I had purchased a domain which I'm planning to Sell now. (iAppleService.com)<p>I'm totally new to this Domain Selling business.<p>- How do you guys proceed to find the Right buyer? Can someone share their experience.
Looking for help.
