RE: UKNM: Valuing a domain name

[Glen Collins]

As with all these things, they're worth what someone else is willing to pay

for them!


We've been involved in a few deals whereby clients of ours have purchased or

looked to purchase domains and there is no fixed price or even parameters

that you can really work to.


Not very helpful I'd admit, but it's the way things are out there, there's a

large element of luck if you're looking to speculatively buy up domain

names.


However, I can tell you that the vast majority of the potentially lucrative

ones went years ago, and you also need to be a little bit careful as I

believe there are some legal cases out there whereby companies can force you

to give back their domain.


Glen.
