Maybe it is just me, but it doesn't "sound" like something that anyone would pay a premium for, given that someone is already using printive as the name of a company (and has printive.net). Unless them, of course. They could be interested to "upgrade" to a .com.

Thanks for your insights, Sir. Many people are using "Printive" indeed (not only the folks at printive.net). I was surprised to see what people are willing to pay or have paid to secure some domain names while scrolling through the Godaddy broker site.

Sure, this kind of stuff is often surprising/unpredictable, looking at the auctions on godaddy is not entirely unlike looking at the output of a random number generator.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

My tone was sharp and im saying things you dont want to hear; natural to want to answer in kind. Truly tho I do not think that domain names sales is a great way to spend one's time anymore, nor do I think you're likely to find much success here. If you get offered $200 by the owner of the existing .net; i'd be surprised.

Alright, sir. For what it's worth, Godaddy Broker has contacted me in the past to buy this domain name for a client. The same Godaddy that has appraised it at $3,000+ USD. I declined at the time because I was still planning to use it. Furthermore, you would be surprised if you scrolled through the domain name broker sites (even the Godaddy one). $200 will unfortunately not help me bootstrap anything. Your tone was ru…

No, that's not rude, it's honesty.

The past is the past and you still don't have that offer do you? So it doesn't mean anything.

> You are telling me what to do or not do with my own free time!

No, he gave you a suggestion, and his opinion.
