Hey,

How much do you think "2bme.com" worth?

It could read "to be me":D

I haven't thought much about it when I registered.
But, lately, I've been getting offers and I have no
idea how much it's worth:confused:

well short domains can be a bit and being a catchy thing like 2bme adds a bit more of worth.

would hate to give a price but i'd say in theory you could get a pretty penny for it :)

$10 unless you find someone willing to pay more, then whatever that amount is.

No one offered $10:D
Question is what is fair value of "whatever that amount is"?

But...
How do you know it's fair market value?

To me, it's just like art work.
I would have no idea what it would be worth
if I had picasso painting:confused:

Isn't there some sort of formula to calculate market value?

Ohh!!!
I saw few sites that offer evaluation service for $$.
Do people actually use that service?
Seems to me like they'll be the only one making money.
Making money evaluating domain names:D

Not just in theory, I could use some of that pretty penny.
I know where to use them in Real life:D

I'm no expert but in general it seems a domain name with a number in to tends to get a lower value... the whole thing is kind of like picking lottery numbers. There's thousands of 4 character domain out there while a year ago there were hardly any. Why? Well most are rubbish.. but you might just pick the one that someone is dying to have (radio stations come to mind)

I think if you register one for the going rate and someone's willing to pay over $100 for it, you might as well jump on it. :)
