I bought http://timeblock.com http://timeblock.com for $2k, it was parked and had a price tag at $6k.
I really wanted the name since we had named the startup so 2k was "cheap" even though it was a lot of money for us.
Luckily I had just read the post on how easypost bought their domain and replicated that with success.

- plumeria 11y agoThe highest we've paid for a .com domain name is $1.5K. We also ended up buying the same .co domain. In another case, we opted for the .co, since the .com owner wanted $16K. Using a .co is a good alternative, since Google treats it as a generic ccTLD [1]. I am curious, what do people here think about .co domains?

- seanp2k2 11y agoIt's not a .com so it's as valuable as a .technology domain to most people who don't know how DNS works.
- andersthue 11y agoI do not see .co as strong as .com - that is why I went for the .com domain I wrote about below - even though I did buy some other domains as .io and .net before the deal was finalized. There is something about a .com that signals age and trust more than any other domains, I invariably think that it must be a new business or not as trustworthy when they don't own the .com (especially if the .com is for sale)
- rk0567 11y agoI'm using .co domain for couple of my side projects [0] and they rank well. So, from SEO point of vew, it's as good as .com. [0] http://portchecker.co http://portchecker.co
