We have a new project on the go, and we just purchased a single word domain that is hypenated between the two syllables (eg. wid-git).
I won't get into the details but the hypenated domain name is worth more to us than the non-hypenated single word.
We would like to buy the single word domain, but it is already taken. The single word domain is not worth anything to us, and we would not use it, however we want to remove it from circulation, in the extremely rare chance that someone would use it for an adult site.
The word we are interested is an obscure middle english word, that is only used in poetry, and very infrequently at that. There is no website associated with this word.
I was thinking of offering $500 dollars for the domain, and using a domain broker to complete the sale. I might go as high as $750, but im not going to pay alot for a domains, just to remove it from circulaton.
Since the people in this thread, make a living in trading domains, can somebody comment if I am wasting my time making an offer?
