Please appraise from your experience as a domainer and also give me your thoughts about the price if approached by an end-user. Thanks

Edit:30-05-16

From the comments I received lately, it seems to me like the more exposure this domain gets the higher chance it has for selling.
So I was wondering if it would be a good idea to apply for 'Sedo' homepage show case, it cost around 65USD and they showcase it for 30 days.
From my previous experience where I would get 12 views a month after showcasing the domain the views would reach Xxx a month.

Appreciate your advices as always.

From an e-commerce point of view, this is a term that suits the internet. It's a niche product, people will buy these products over the internet, and comic figures have a lot of internet based fans. The term therefore suits the internet.

I don't think it would be that easy to sell, as small comic figure sellers will just create their own unique name. That said, a big e-commerce player could be convinced of the value of this name.

I would identify big e-commerce players that have a history of using generic domains and pitch it to them. When you have a decent generic like this, you always want to put in a big ask price and see what happens. I would be thinking in terms of around $50,000 to a serious player for this domain.

I will keep that in mind, Thank you for your time and appraisal.
Currently I have it listed on sedo, If I don't see any offers rolling perhaps I'll try knocking the doors.
The ComicBoom is on its peak presently, with all these Marvel and DC superhero Movies and TV shows etc, I hope I get lucky.

You will have to knock on doors if you want to sell for top dollar in a reasonable time frame. Do you ever listen to the shows from DomainSherpa.com? I know a few years back there was one from a guy talking about his e-commerce generics. I can't remember his name now, but he was using big e-commerce generic names. That's the kind of guy you want to offer this name to.

No, did not hear about domainsherpa until your comment. Actually I'm very new to this domain business. I'll do a research on domainsherpa and dig namepros as well..I'd also appreciate you if you could lead me how do I find e-commerce guys.Thanks

It's just market research. Just identify potential buyers from companies already in the sector, and maybe companies with a history of using generic domain names. Then, I would write a letter to them. A letter is better than e-mail. It's a lot of hard work with no guaranteed result, but sometimes it does pay off.

I will try. Thanks for suggestions

Google it.it mainly refers to super hero figures and collectable items.

I think biggie's point was it's not really a major term, and "googling" as you suggested shows that the results are not brilliant. On the other hand if you search for "action figure" the results are good with potential for commercial use of those keywords.

That's not to say the domain is not valuable, but how much is hard to say. I would find high end retailers etc and reach out to them. While someone might find you wanting a relevant name, I think there will be plenty who are already in the game with a domain who might want to add this to their collection.

I'm not the most experienced domainer of all and especially not someone you should consider as a seller per say (my threat about my first thread here says it all) yet I do have my 0.02 cents to add to this If I were to buy it:

I think you have probably 2/3 options when considering the sale...

- 1 - the seo/webdev guy who's building either an e-commerce/amazon affiliate (what I would do)/dropshipping business

- 2 - the reseller (you know who they are and what they do for sure)

- 3 - the "end user" that's not in the domaining industry yet understands the value of acquiring your domain and add it to either his portfolio or a brand he has already established.

Speaking about values (which is probably the most important part, yet the one I can't reply with 100% certainty):

The one thing to keep in mind is the "perceived value" of your domain for every single one of those buyers.

The 3rd one would pay the most for sure, followed by the second and the first one would probably be the one interested in paying the lowest. He's the one taking the most risk because he's building a new thing from scratch....

Hope this helps to put at least some perspective into it and please keep in mind this is just my 0.02 cents about it
