It depends on the buyer but a good pure 3 letter is worth a decent $xxx+, typically.

It really depends on the domain. I'd post a bid page up at the domain for a few months, personally.

Honestly, though, the demand for a domain such as "eqq.com" is going to be much less than for "abc.com." I'm sure someone will have a company with that acronym though, as obscure as it is.

As I said it depends upon the buyer - if someone offered you $2000 then personally I'd take it. However, if you're trying to sell it then I'd put it in the range that I said. 3 Char .coms are certainly popular here but maybe not there if you get what I mean. It really does depend on finding the right buyer at the right time.

I agree. EQQ.com is wortful, but those 2 Q's put it at the lower end of 3 letter .com's. Unless someone has a reason to have 2 Q's in the accronym, you probably won't get a grand. But if they do have a reason to use both Q's, or if it fits their company/marketing name to a T, then it could be worth thousands (and I wouldn't stop at $2,000).

If you are trying to buy it, I give you the same advice. Because there are no numbers or hyphens, it is easily worth $700.00. If it fits your company or marketing name to a T, it's worth the 2 grand (or more) because it's easy to remember (especially if you have a name for that EQQ accronymn) and it's even easier to type.

But, we haven't started talking about traffic. Although there is a website there, it has no GG PR or Alexa Traffic rank. So I would not increase the value. In fact, I would even lower the price to $600 unless there is a particular need for that Domain Name. However, if the site could prove that it can produce traffic (all that is there is a PPC dir) by sitting on a developed website, the value of that Domain will increase significantly (and more so because it is 3 characters).

However, let's talk about reputation... EQQ.com asks users to set it as their homepage. This is a big no-no and hurts it's reputation significantly. It is intended to produce traffic, but it turns into a hassle for most web users. So now I reduce the mininum to $500.00.

In fact, I wouldn't pay $500 for that Domain.

But, that's just my opinion. -Doug

I, personally, would take the next step and look in business directories, searching for an up-and-coming corporation under the name "EQQ." It's a long shot, but if it works you can earn big bucks in the process...

If I were the CEO of EQQ Corp., I would pay $2,000 for that domain. However, if this theoretical company doesn't exist, you can expect bids to be much lower--unless I were running a high-profit site that would somehow benefit from that short of a name, there would be no reason to spend that much on a domain. Once again, this is just my opinion.
