I am thinking of putting it up for auction...how much should I look for?

Thanks.

How much traffic do you get to the domain, that will be a big factor.

Hi B,

It hasn't been developed. I also have a few other premium Ukrainian names that also need developing...no.com and he.com. Ahhhh so much to do so little time...

Anyway...an undeveloped and a developed appraisal would be helpful.

[Emil]

and what do you think is the commercial value for it is?

[emjohn]

Well Emil,

This is my question. If someone wants the domain, whatever they are willing to pay for it. Trading domain names and trading developed sites are 2 different businesses. As are PR domains and traffic domains.

I'm not exactly sure of current commercial value, that's why I ask. I don't want to get hosed.

[Emil]

i think that commercial value here is quiet low to be honest: as ethnic russian, I can tell you that word "старый" isnt commercial at all. And if you are betting its close to Enlgish word "used", i can tell its not.

With all due respect, i wouldnt even handreg it if I could.

But thats me and my 2 cents here...

[emjohn]

actually neither is the word "old" in English. But somehow people make things out of them.

old music
old songs
old cars
etc.

This word as far as I know is related to things that are aged and not used. I was aiming toward the aged...

[emjohn]

Here are some things you can do commercially or informationally with this domain.

Aging
anti-aging
elder-care
retirement
getting old

Don't these things happen to people in Russia? LOL
