that domains is worth about $9 like eg.

FUCKANDTUBE.COM
FUCKINGNTUBE.COM
FUCKNTUBES.COM
TUBENFUCK.COM

instead You have there a lot of traffic - but You dont say anything about that

so domain value is

1. typo traffic (eg. You have domain pornmovies.com or pizza.com )
2. amount of traffic You have generated

You need at least one from this two thing's (better both) to get mor emoney than cost domain registration

Unless it's a great domain it is not worth a lot (other than what someone is willing to pay for it)

I'd try to get $100 for it or maybe $50 for. Try $200, whatever. You never know til you try. Just put OBO as well.

Apparently, a domain like HotNina.com, with no traffic & no content, is worth around $2000

Appraisal companies haven't the faintest fucking idea what a domain is worth IMO

Someone that's in adult with EXPERIENCE at selling domain names would be better.

Put it on Sedo at a high price and see what happens?

so while on this thread, i hope no one minds me asking...
what about domains with hypens in them...are they worth something if decently named..
examples:
xxx-bbws.com
free-tours.com
cyber-tits.com
cute-tits.com
local-stippers.com
lonely-women.com
bargains-and-deals.com
ect..

i mean would they by name alone(not counting traffic) be worth as much as say bigbbws.com would be?
anyone?

I sold a couple of fairly high profile names quietly a few years ago.
No auction and no appraisal.

They are ONLY worth what someone is willing to pay for them.

Id spend more time and money trying to locate a buyer than paying some "Domain Critic" [anyone remember that assclown?] to tell you a value.

Hyphens are really there for search engines not surfers.

Surfers get confused by hyphens (eg if someone is looking for lonely-women.com there is a good chance they will type in lonelywomen.com).

However search engines see hyphens as spaces. So if the site is lonely-women.com they will harvest the key phrases "lonely", "women" and "lonely women". But if the domain were lonelywomen.com the only keywords it would see are "lonely" and "women".

Search engine algorithms have gotten much better in the last 5 years. Google, Yahoo and Bing have no problem parsing domains without hyphens.

A domain like fuckntube dot com is worthless without spending time, money and effort on branding, development and promotion. Let it expire and move on.

Don't waste your money on paid appraisals. You can get quality appraisals from experienced domainers for free at some of the domain forums.

anything and everything is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I know this sounds trite, but just get into one of those auctions that allow you to pull back if you don't get what you want. Just don't expect a lot. If you get a grand for a typical site just following typical rules on the sale you should be happy, so if you are making more than that you should keep it around just for traffic which is probably worth a lot more if you work it right.
