DedicatedServerForum.com Sparks Interest
It’s been a few days since I accidentally ordered DedicatedServerForum.com via Pool. I say accidentally because I don’t remember actually telling it to put the domain in my queue. This is actually and error that I appreciate, as it definitely could of been a domain name that I did not want. In this case I wanted the domain name and now I am faced with the dilemma of either flipping it or developing it. Over at webhostingtalk.com the domain name has sparked the interest of a user:

As I moved forward with the private message, I definitely wanted to make sure that the potential buyer knows that we are looking for a serious buyer. I feel that this domain name is easily worth high $XXX - low $XXXX undeveloped. Developed, the sky is the limit with this domain name because top hosting companies which specialize in the dedicated server market are willing to pay top dollar for advertising. You could easily bring in a $1,000 - $5,000 a month with a forum of this nature. To be honest with you, building a forum dedicated to a subject like this would not be hard. So, I private messaged the potntial buyer with the following:

We consider serious offers to be in the mid xxx - low x,xxx range. If you are interested in providing us with a bid, feel free to let me know. After examining your bid we will either accept, reject or counter offer. Thanks in advance.

I have not heard a response from the potential buyer as of yet. I might actually call the buyer on the number provided in his signature, to talk with him about DedicatedServerForum.com, this will allow me to show the buyer that I am a serious domain seller and allow me to connect with the buyer on a more professional scale. It should be interesting to see how this plays out, because the potential buyer obviously sees value within the name, now the question is how much are they willing to acquire the domain for.
Best Regards,
Jason Thompson
