Value of Domain Hacks

[xman]

Here's my question..what is the value of domain hack? I've seen some good domain hack and i was wondering about the value of it. I myself own one and i'm not sure whether or not i should get more. I haven't seen any sale of domain hack. Why do we register domain hack? Is it because the domain looks cool or because there's a potential end user who's willing to buy such domain?

Deal finished, the sale was for a .rs Hack...

Also received a $3000 offer for xxxxx(.)ll (offer maxed out as it seems, they started at $500), but I am looking for a bit more, low $xx.xxx to be honest. What you think, is that a realistic expectation? Renewal is about +$50 a year so it's not really a domain you can renew for 10 years and forget about...

My first response: I would take the money and run, unless you have solid stats showing a lot of traffic.

I get the .ll, but will the average web surfer, at least as a ccTLD? I don't know...

Also, that $50 yearly reg is a bit steep.

On the other hand, if you think that the proliferation of gTLDs will prop up established gTLDs and ccTLDs, then you might consider holding another year.

But $3000 is a lot of moola...

Agreed but I am a bit spoiled by my hack sales in the past, have sold worse hacks for mid $x.xxx - low $xx.xxx, also I am running out of good hacks (have about 8 left only) so I want to kind of keep my foot in the door if you know what I mean lol, also I really like the domain personally, I started a bit to develop it but completely dropped the ball last year (was earning about $15 a day at some point before penguin, today maybe a couple cents a day hehe)...

If it was me, I would definitely take the $3k and run as I think it's a top offer for that name.

Do you mind sharing what the .rs hack was that sold? Even via PM if you don't want to post

You got PM

Domain edited out, I don't want them to stumble upon that thread lol, I will try talking to them again but $3k I am not really tempted to be honest, I think it's a great/memorable domain in an evergreen niche where every meaningful 3-4 word combination in .com is already taken, I think this name has a big edge, but hey am just a dreamer so I might end up dropping it in 10 years (No!) lol...

I edited the domain name out in your quote on my post as well. I understand where you are coming from.

No, I wouldn't be holding onto those names if I were you.

That is even worse. Why register a hack of someone's name? I would read all I can in this thread about hacks & about what makes a domain have value before spending anymore on domains otherwise you are just wasting your money. For hacks, the names need to be very strong keywords & have high commercial/development value.
