Are you the seller?
If so what's your BIN?

I don't think he's the seller, if he was he'd be a millionaire already :P

I think this is going to go for $50K+

Yes I am the seller.  Sent you a PM. Cheers.

You guys do realize that local-bitcoins.com is NOT localbitcoins.com right?

This isn't an active site...just a place holder.

I'm thinking <50k  lol

This is a FANTASTIC domain name, easly get about 10 thousand dollars for this. You could probably sell it to localbitcoins.com for very large as well, they will likely want to buy it.

I don't think it is worth even the average amount domains usually get sold and also LBC won't buy this. If yes, he could get a HUGE profit by registering a domain similar to LBC's(eg:- local_bitcoins.com) and sell it for xK to LBC.

Why would he be a Millionaire?

btc.com sold for 1 million because Mr. Gaw wanted it badly.

its not localbitcoins.com

could get some nice chunk for it though. maybe sub $5000

I would think he can get sub $5,000

if he finds a right buyer than he can sell for what ever the hell he wants. :) good luck man.

Yea we know that, but having a mirror like that if people mistype it could bring in more business potentially. Lots of people like google do this where you buy domains very similar so therefore you don't miss out on any users that mistype your domain name

yes many mistype it with a letter or two but a hyphen? highly unlikely.

Will be interesting to see what the going offer is for this domain and what the OP is looking for in return of exchanging details over. I have a fair few custom and really good domains of my own and the value is building up nice on them with crypto related subjects in their names so keeping them and adding bits and bobs to them for rank and seo and other parts on it moving up the ladder of ranks nice too. OP inbox me with price or offers you got on so far and if within my budget ill make you an offer.

The domain receives daily type in traffic, many people use a hyphen instead of a space when typing an address in their browser, at an average $8 per month revenue from parking this domain pays for itself over and over again.  Because of its relevance and keywords it is more than fair for me to ASK for $x,xxx offers, but I am open to all offers as I have received multiple offers in mid-high $xxx.  Please message or post your offers in thread.

Yes of course, sometimes people will accidental put this. I believe localbitcoins.com has other domains pointing, maybe old companies they owned and lost. Can someone remind me of any domains that point to localbit coins.com?

Yea I have owned a couple domiains which I used for some projects and when I didn't find the project to be going well the domain was worth a bit more. I believe I resold a 10$ domain for 30$, that was my best sale.
OP please tell us how much you get for the domain and what it will be used for, I am interested

Thanks everyone for your input on this name.  I obviously know it's value and that's the reason I turned down offers close to $1000 for it.  I do believe this is a real rare opportunity for anyone who wants to start or has an existing bitcoin related website or blog to drive more quality traffic to their asset.

It's a VERY good domain name but the problem is it is very related to localbitcoins.com it is a rare opportunity and I would expect maybe some big copmanies to pick it up, its not your average crypto domain. I would accept all offers above 2k, that sounds about right to me. How much did you get it for?

You get some traffic from people making a mistake and wanted to go to localbitcoins or if you are very well referenced. Also, you could sell to localbitcoins.

Chances are you should just list this in the auction thread to see if someone wants it.

I stopped buying and flipping domains after most are waste of time. But thats just the hard reality.

Buy it now price added.

Responded to all offers

Why would they buy it? They can just go to a court and get this domain for a few dollars - just like microsoft.com took over mikerowesoft.com

Keep in mind that if you buy this domain name LBC can take it from you at any time.

Really? I don't think this is possible. I see people owning sites very similar. Also localbitcoins is not really comparable to microsoft, they are much smaller and I doubt they would waste the time and money getting this domain through the legal process.

There is no Trademark on the term "Local Bitcoins".

It's definitely possible and it doesn't matter if the company is small. 1500 USD (http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/fees/) is still cheaper than 2200 USD.

But I doubt that localbitcoins.com is copyrighted by them. Also yes it is 1.5k I see from the URL, but I don't think it would be worth the time also, since they have to get someone to do all the legal stuff and submit the claims and all that. I seriously doubt localbitcoins would want to do that.

Possible, but unlikely. Other variations of Localbitcoins.com (e.g. Localbitcoins.org) don't seem to be owned by them. If someone tried to put up a confusing website at Local-bitcoins.com and it became popular, then it could get shut down but I doubt they would bother if the domain was simply parked. Same deal with Mikerowesoft.com. Had it simply been a parked page, Microsoft wouldn't have cared. But in that case, it was an actual website.

And it would cost WAY more than a few dollars to get the domain. The cost for filing a UDRP is approximately $1,300 and that's not including attorney fees.

EDIT: I see chmod755 has already mentioned this.


Localbitcoin.com, Localbitcoin.co, and Localbitcoins.co all redirect to Localbitcoins.com.

The owner of LocalBitcoins.com is fully aware of this name, i used it as a redirect to their affiliate section for some time.

Can you give us some info on how much you make on affiliate, or how many views or refers you get? If the domain gets viewed many times a day it will be MUCH more popular as people know that even if their site is trash there always will be people visiting it.

the name gets between 20 and 110 unique visitors per day.  I have had it parked and on average it is making $7 - $12 per day in ad rev.

Anyone interested in this name submit your offers.  I have an opportunity to acquire a domain I've wanted for some time now and need to free up some cash. 

Still looking for a new owner.  I am open to your $xxx - $x,xxx offers.

Highest offer from user here is $675

Sale moved to the auctions thread, bidding starts at just $5, good luck.

you turned down offers close to $1,000 and now you are accepting for $xxx - $x,xxx offers.
"Still looking for a new owner.  I am open to your $xxx - $x,xxx offers.

what happened?

higher prices came when btc was raging and was priced high, seems to be less interest from members outside of the btc community these days for all btc related names.

new price is 2btc for this name, at current price of bitcoin
