Re: Domain name values

My domain name is JackFrost.com I had an unsolicited offer back in 99 for about $10k for it. Is it worth more or less now? Some of the free on line crap stated a value of $100,000 to $125,000. This caught my attention.

Anyone who knows???

If so, best way to sell?
It depends on that words in the domain name, how many words, how many letters, how common the words are and the potential for mis-spelling. Part of the reason 3 letter domain names got snapped up so fast and why the big money maker porn sites have short names, IE sex.com. Another things that matters these days is Google PR; how well does your website place in a google search when key terms relating to are entered? It also depends on what it can be used for; would someone use the words in your domain name to help them search for a specific product, service or something of interest?

I don't know much about your specific domain, but I'd go out on a limb and say $100K is exponetially over-valued, unless you have awesome G/PR, get a TON of traffic, and make loads of $$$ off it.

I do know some places that debate/buy/sell/trade domains and full sites, but they are adult oriented.
