    Unhappy Brandable, Pronoucable, 4-letter .net Dictionary Word Domain. How much is it worth?

    I own Ashy.net, which was valued for around 1K on Flippa and according to my domain buying friends, worth anywhere from $500-$2k. But it isn't selling - no one bought it. Is my starting bid too high? My starting bid is $250, and I think it's fair enough.

    What do you guys think it's worth? Registered for 12 years, reg'ed again after a drop.

    LLLL.net names are not selling that well right now, especially with the bargains you can get with LLLL.com names

    I dont think its a bad name, I think you just have to be patient with names like this. It is pronounceable so that's a bonus, but you will just have to be patient with a name like this.

    Some similar sales this year, very surprised by the low sale of Meet.net

    Ecol.net
    $504

    Hado.net
    $2025

    Aard.net
    $827

    Bobe.net
    $1000

    Ehel.net
    $670

    Keto.net
    $1750

    Meet.net
    $1277

    Good luck

    According the WHOIS information, it was only registered a couple months ago and it's not 12 years old. If it was registered after being expired, then it's not 12 years old. It also doesn't have page rank and it's a .net domain name. In my opinion, you'd be lucky if you got $100 for it.

    Drop the starting bid and set a reserve instead.

    Indeed it was first registered on May 11, 2000, but it expired on June 11, 2008. Although it would be 14 years old if the domain was never dropped, it was dropped. It wouldn't be good for SEO and it wouldn't look good for new companies starting a brand.

    Also, being that you picked it up in August of this year, I don't think that there is that high of a demand for this domain name -- it sat for six years before you bought it.

    It can definitely be branded nicely though, I'll give you that. As far as asking $250 for it, you won't get that unless the name means a lot to somebody.

    This is not meant to be a smarty pants reply, just my view.

    It's worth whatever you can sell it for or simply the registration fee.

    Also, during vacation and holiday time many people are busy doing real world things, not as active online.

    So the previous owner didnt even think it was 'worth' the renewal fee - that's often a clue to it's 'value'

    The only sensible answer is that it's worth what someone will pay you for it, but based on .net sales I've seen recently, on something like flippa you might get $100 for it
