The private jet market is very profitable – but also very competitive. I have a feeling not many private jets are booked via type in traffic. Especially when 99.95 of the traffic is football related. Additionally – I bet if you looked at user intent, the average private jet customer would be more likely to google / type in “private jets” rather than just “jets”.

It’s still a great name at a good price, but don’t tell me they are going to get one extra customer per day via type in traffic, I think one per week is a stretch even.

So, you might get an automated response for free from some websites mentioned here, but SuccessClick.com is the only domain “evaluation” service. We give you quick and simple suggestions on your domains BEFORE you waste money on getting them professionally appraised. We’ll tell you WHAT to do with the domains BEFORE you get them appraised at a dollar value. Significantly, hugely cheaper getting your domains evaluated first.

If you’re going to get your domains appraised, get it done by a real LIVE expert service, like DomainConsultants.com, and Successclick.com, of course. Don’t forget to ask Rob Sequin, Kevin, and several others for help if you need it. Pay them whatever they require at their hourly rate is, because one hour of service from them is worth three months of stumbling around trying to learn this business on your own.

Compare prices! I guarantee you that whatever a domain consultant charges you per hour will be positive in relation to how much money you will lose if you forge ahead in this business WITHOUT investing in some professional advice first.

Also, if you’re a noobie, be sure to BUY ANY OF THE DOMAINER EBOOKS out there. I have already reviewed at least five good ones, and I have them on my site sidebar if you’re looking to get some strong basics of the industry. That will save you potentially hundreds if not thousands of dollars in mistakes. Sean Stafford’s ebook is a winner, and most of the domainer ebooks will tell you what to avoid, what to do, what to expect.

And if you follow all the above advice, you’ll understand why Jets.com was a killer deal at $375k!!

Plus you cant sell dolphins online – you can sell Jets though.

Just like cowboys.com has no reference to Dallas cowboys the New York Jets would have no claim to this. Of course we both have seen many silly cases go in front the UDRP board however from an outsider’s perspective there is zero reason why an attorney would advise a private company not to buy this name based simply on the trademark some football team has (which half the world doesn’t know or care about) if use is going to the private jet sector.

In luxury markets the economy is still pretty good – those why fly private hardly ever feel the impact of recessions – the nouveux rich sure, but real wealth – very little. In fact, most of the time they make more money.

Oh well, as Bob said – he would move mountains to play in this range, I’m pretty sure quite a few others would to but we will never know.

Thanks for commenting.

Also, Contests.com recently sold for around the same price as Jets.com, and Shows.com sold for around $100,000, so although Jets.com seems like a great deal, that might just be the current state of the big domain market. It is certainly a great deal for an end user (an airplane company) though.

Speak for us domain sellers, bro! (I am too imbedded in the system now to say what you’re saying on my blog… but it’s time domain auction sites EARNED their commission by promoting each and every domain. Best to do that by having auctions THEMED, as many pro domainers have suggested in the last three years. I suppose with more and more new domain selling sites and services popping up, that will create a “need” for the bigger auction sites to step up to the plate. Nothing like a flooded market of competition to force the real players to come to the front with some real value for domain sellers.

oops. I didn’t say nuttin’. I’m just watching the stars flicker from my deck in this beautiful late night Pacnorwest sky…
