“I bet the domain stkitts.com would get significantly more type in traffic than saintkittsandnevis.com”

Develop a website and type-in traffic will be a small percentage of total traffic anyway. Rank well for the money keywords, and you will be rewarded.

If every name was sold on traffic there would be a lot of $xxx,xxx names selling for $0. I’m looking at many things and see some nice deals here. That was just 1 which I thought was overlooked.

I guess that is because you own them but that is the official name which is used anywhere from 6 times to 6 trillion times more then the examples you mentioned.

I agree Joyce. Hopefully the price is much closer to the $1 rather than the $5k.

Is it really that great of a name? I think all of the following are better.

SaintKitts.com
StKitts.com
Nevis.com
StKitts-Nevis.com
SaintKitts-Nevis.com
StKittsAndNevis .com

I agree that most of these names are either junk or overpriced.

Putting chileanseabassrecipes.com on this list is a joke.

some other bad names at bad prices:

chicagolaser.com – $10k
cityofcleveland.com – $50k
thetristate.org – $5k
southernitaly.net $5k

SaintKittsAndNevis is another nice low key tourism spot.

Massive and beautiful casino resort there

SanJuan.com has potential because of tourism, but besides that I agree with Rob.

Signing up advertisers is not that easy. Therefore, recovering the initial investment on most of these names would be a real challenge.

People that have never tried might think it is easy!

Secacus.com above 10k? 15000 residents and no tourism…yikes

I have to side with Rob on this one…most peeps think their $1500 names are worth 50k.

imo the biggest problem is not reserves but the spread amount…there’s a big difference between $1 and $5000…the reserves need to be an exact amount or at least a minimum bid amount listed.
