I have the same name as a famous person and own the .com

How do I know what the .com is worth to a musician?

[bran987]

I have owned my own name (.com) for 10 years. About 5 years ago I got an email from a musician who wanted to buy it from me and I never replied.

Now he won best new artist of the year at an awards show on TV and has lots of CD's and every time I go to a store people say "Hey, you have a famous name!"

He uses ".net" as his website. I don't know how to find out what a website is worth to a musician? What kind of broker could I contact to get an appraisal for a website that only has one potential buyer?

Thanks

Have someone else, that has good negotiation skills, let the other person know that the domain is up for sale and then let the bargaining begin.

Dont tell the famous person it is for sale, email them saying you notice you both have the same name and your .com may be available if he would like to make and offer.

I remind guys and gals that the "can of worms" exists if one opens it.

OP, do you WANT to sell? One course of action. If you don't, another course of action.

I think you should simply put up a simple, boring, and definitely non-commercial site about yourself. On the home page, put a link to the musician's .net site saying "If you are looking for Joe Bloggs the musician, go here (link)".

Youre not obligated to do so.

I say make an offer for the .net. I wouldn't let someone have my name and be more famous than me

Good one! :)
