I got an offer for one of my domain names, bondpictures.com (I also have .net/org and bond-pictures.com) from a company that negotiates domain purchases for their clients.

I'm a bit wet behind the ears when it comes to domain sales, so I don't know what to do.

I've been developing the site off and on and was planning to publish it this month, but now I don't know.


When I got this, I went out googling for guides, and one of them had an option that was, 'Don't sell. If someone has made a substantial offer, that person thinks he can make more money than he's offering from that domain name.'

The site is made by me and a friend of mine, and is supposed to allow a limited number of writers to write articles for it in the future. Mainly it's news, facts, reviews, nostalgia, trivia about Bond movies. My friend Tomas is a specialist on Bond paraphernalia, and I've gathered interesting facts, and of course I've seen all the movies a number of times


So: What do you think my domain name is worth, without the site? Should I wait, and develop it before thinking about selling?

Reject the offer with professionalism, explain that the domain is more valuable to you than $900.00, they would need to come back with a better offer. Do NOT give them a price, let them come to you and provide a price YOU want to take.

Thanks for the quick reply ssandecki!

Yes, that sounds like good advice - although I wouldn't mind you guys letting me know what you think about what the domain name itself might be worth - or what it's worth given I develop it with articles and ads.

The service that approached me was networksolutions.com - has anyone here dealt with them before? Good guys?

Im surprised you were offered that much for bondpictures.com

im guessing some big company might want it. I would take it.

I would reject the offer and say they can have it for $1000. It clear that someone wants the domain name - most probaly a company!
