Domain Pricing

Due to the high value of owning a premium domain, the sale price of these names is not cheap. Generally for top level domains, pricing starts at $1,000 and can easily reach the high thousands for superb domains.

Now you may be thinking that some prices that you come across are seeing are unreasonable. First you need to understand that each domain owner sets the reserve price of his names. At PremiumDomains.com we do not fix domain's prices, except for the few names we own.

To help you on your domain buying process we are showing a domain score that outlines the quality of a name. You will be able to compare numerous domain names, to check if you are potentially engaging in a sale which would be considered a great deal or not.

Several scenarios are possible regarding pricing:

The owner in fact is not really seeking to sell his domain.
The individual will post his listing with an over quoted price in hopes of finding a buyer who is willing to accept his crazy price. It's a little like playing the lottery. Sale chances are really low.

The owner has no idea about the value of his domain.
This owner simply read about domaining sites and that some names are selling a fortune.
He falsely thinks that his name is considered a gem and has the potential to reach these bigger numbers.

The owner is a domain portfolio owner having a limited number of premium names.
Generally this domain investor has spent a lot of money and time purchasing domains.
He would like that the sale of the few real great names that he owns to cover most of his acquisition expenses.

The name has already been purchased for a high amount.
Generally when a domain name changes hands the price increases.
This does not mean the domain has a higher value but each one will want to generate a benefice. It may happen that the last owner paid much more than the real domain value.

Fluctuating domain prices.
Some domain owners do not have any logical pricing rule.
They can sell a domain for a reasonable price today and ask the double few months after.
We have found some domainers acting this way.
This behavior is probably motivated by the cash flow needed throughout any given month.

The domain has been seriously appraised
The domain is expensive but it reflects the real potential of the domain.
