hi guys

been sat on this domain for over 3 years now.

the domain is codguide(.com)

how much would you say it is worth?

thankyou

Ash

that depends on how desperate the buyer is to get that exact domain.

I'd bet the value is fairly low since it isn't a domain any big corporation is likely to be interested in.

Less than you paid for those 3 years.

I'll give you 5 bucks for it.

thankyou for taking the time to reply.

not what I was hoping for but probably accurate, seems as it is a domain without a website.

however i though 2 word domains were worth abit, or is cod not classed as a word.

I had an offer via email of £50 a few days after I registered it.

again, thankyou for your time.

You should try to sell it to someone who would want to buy it. It's only worth what real customers with real money want to really pay for it. Nobody here wants it.

sure,

I have contacted a few owners of popular call of duty fan sites, no replies yet.

will keep trying,

not going to bother with flippa or anyother market place, as you say nobody will want it.

In my experience, it's worth exactly nothing (but of course your mileage may vary). If someone really needs (or desperately wants) that domain, you might sell it.

I've been wanting a particular domain name which had been used by some gothic girl for some years to post her feelings once every month or so, and when she moved over to facebook, she abandoned the domain. Shame actually since having noticed that not much was happening at that site, I had mailed her only two or three weeks earlier that I was interested in the domain name so if she didn't need it, I'd be happy to buy it off her for some reasonable money (I didn't really care much for the money, and would have deemed anything from 20 to 200 dollars reasonable).

The domain was of course promptly taken by a Chinese domain squatter (some address in Macao), and while I had sworn to never pay one cent to a domain squatter, I still decided to go for it after it was still for sale roughly a year later. Why not, after all.

So I asked what price he might have in mind, and got as reply "what do you offer?". Oh fuck, that pathetic kind of guy... I should have known. So I was almost turned off, but after a week, I decided that I'd still give it a try. Annoying would-be-smart idiot or not, I could get the domain I want, right?

So I wrote to him that I'd consider 50 dollars a fair offer (which seemed more than fair to me, seeing how he had not had any work or cost involved other than the ca. 2-3 dollar registration, and it wasn't as if he was trying to sell me precisely google.com or yahoo.com). Of course, as anticipated, he greeded out on me and asked 2,000 dollars, no less, explaining to me that I needed to understand he couldn't sell that low, or he'd lose money.

I can't stand it when people try to bargain me, as little as I can stand it when they think I'm stupid. So my reply was basically "well, thank you for that kind offer and fuck you" (I don't remember the exact wording, I may have been a bit less polite than that).

He kept the domain parked for another 3 years and finally abandoned it. I looked the day after the prospective expiry date (as seen on WHOIS) every year, and when it was available, I registered it.

Bargaining is very standard in China (oh the street vendors!), but 40 times starting is a little much.

(Call Of Duty)guide.com might be worth something, but I have no idea how you would go about finding a customer.

That's right, but 2,000 dollars is just ridiculous, and saying something like "you can't expect me to lose money" when you are a borderline criminal abusing the system (and when you really had no expenses) is rather offensive to me.

Let's get this straight, domain squatters use botnets to "acquire" resources and blackmail legitimate users. That's like buying a thousand seats for a concert or a football match and re-selling the tickets for 50times the original price.
