Under the direction of a skilled antique silver dealer, this website should easily be able to generate enough income to cover the purchase price in a very short period of time.
We have three pages dedicated to the direction we think would be best for this site: a buying resource, a fee-based appraisal site, or an income producing future project. It goes without saying that a retail outlet would be a fourth use of the website.
Domain names are the real estate of the 21st century, except they are better. There are no property taxes, insurance, or upkeep. Once you own a domain, for $10 a year, you can hold on to it for as long as you like. Now that Google and Yahoo’s cost per click advertising has taken off, a relevantly named domain name is more necessary than ever.
If you think that $100,000 for a website name is unheard of, think again. Even the most obscure names regularly sell for mid-five figure prices. Check out The Domain Name Journal to see what undeveloped domain names are selling for on a weekly basis. For even more clarity on the importance of domain names read this CNNmoney article from 2005. Since the article was written five years ago the prices of premium domains names have reached new highs.
The website valuate.com values www.AntiqueSilver.com at $52,000. That estimate is based purely on direct type in traffic and Google searchability. It does not consider the potential of the website as a developed entity. Once this site is developed and built correctly it should generate thousands of unique visitors a month – making it worth well into the six figure range.
