According to comments I saw made by the Buyer, the domain is already showing that it will pay for itself.

snes,

The value is solely determined by the Buyer.

According to comments I saw made by the Buyer, the domain is already showing that it will pay for itself.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so are domain valuations.

I don’t know if I could have held out that long!" Antoinette, You're right. That's why it's not good to be a motivated seller. $1,659,000 / 6 years = $276,500 per year. Real nice yearly income playing the waiting game. Patrick “Six years is a long time to sit on a domain and refuse offer after offer until the bid reaches $1.6 million dollars.

You’re right.

That’s why it’s not good to be a motivated seller.
