After 30 bids and 7 days, gangsters.com has sold for $16,100 USD on eBay. While the seller did meet his reserve price, could he have gotten more for the name?
In short, yes. As I’ve mentioned before, eBay is not a good place to buy or sell a domain. Names frequently sell for too much, too little, or not at all. I think the name could have possibly reached as much as $100,000 USD– if marketed properly.
The problem is, end-users and domainers interested in a premium name like gangsters.com won’t be looking on eBay, but on domain auction sites. In this instance, the seller failed to reach his target market and the sale price shows this.
