I own ashort . com, an American company, A short inc, have approached me to see if I'd sell, I get a lot of their emails via a catch all address, (they use ashortinc.com and senders miss the inc bit) I think they are a small property management company. Any ideas on how I'd get a sensible valuation?
I do use ashort.com on 2 company vehicles as it's an easy .com to remember.

Tell them you'd consider any sensible offer.

See what offer they make.

If it's acceptable to you, and makes it worth your while selling, then sell.

Whats' your company name?

As above, I'd see what you get offered. If it isn't likely to be worth anything to anyone else anything you get will be better than nothing.

Is the domain a single word dot com?

I thought you were just saying 'a short' to indicate you had a short domain name that is valuable... I see now that you literally mean ashort.com !

I'm not sure how valuable that domain is other than to anyone it means something to... it's not a generic term such as tvs.com or aerial.com - and so, if it were me, I'd be willing to sell it for a reasonable price. You could get something more appropriate anyway...

What does that word mean?

To me that looks like two words?

I would do a lot of research in to the company offering to buy.

To me, ashort.com rings perfectly of a company trying to set up some sort of redirect service like tinyurl.com

In which case it is worth a lot more than a small property investment co.

I don't charge much for my ideas and time, so let just call it 10% of what everyou sell it for wink
