I own a domain name I am thinking of selling ... allentexas.com This is a high profile suburb of Dallas with about 78,000 people. Also home to one of the largest high schools in the state and the 2008 state, 5A football champions. I am just starting to do some research on what city domain names are on the auction blocks for, but I cannot find any. Can anyone help me with an opinion of value? Thank you in advance.

Population is not the only indicator for domain valuation, as I would also argue that domain traffic is not the best indicator of a great domain (all traffic and all populations are not the same). A city in Michigan where the economy is depressed isn't worth as much as a comparably-sized city that is a travel destination. I think there are lots of geo opportunities for domainers and developers -- but there is no magic valuation formula. I think there are many variables here.

As for one word typos, as long as it's not of a trademark they're OK...but keep in mind the value is only in the PPC revenue.

I have a few geo domains and was wondering if someone could give me an idea of what they are worth and where the best place to sell them would be if I decided to sell instead of developing them.
