texte = Even then the two words have to be good for it to be worth something. But you are correct in assuming the "what will someone pay who wants it" theory. I recently tried to buy a domain for a friend of mine. The domain was his last name and the owner wanted $3,600. We offered $200 and never heard back from them. For kicks and to end the day here on the East Coast.....going on the two word domain value...A past boss of mine registered the domain shrimpnipples.com after an extended night of drinking. Funny, he didn't renew it! Maybe a good name for a rock band, strip club, or even a sushi restaurant? Just kidding....

Offer 10% of what you think its worth. Then go up from there. 2 words knocks the price down considerably. They would have to be pretty damn good words. We have bigcircle.com and think its worth 5 figures if that tells you anything.
