<p>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).<p>$200 will unfortunately not help me bootstrap anything. Your tone was rude, sir, not sharp. You are telling me what to do or not do with my own free time!<p>And let me quote your suggested price: "Fair price? $0." Yes: $0.<p>"Best approach? Let it expire and cease to spend time worrying about it. You can find better uses for your time."<p>That's not sharp, sir, that's rude and of no help. Thank you for taking the time to share your views sir.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>> If you can't even put the effort into writing a message then I'd suggest you let the domain expire<p>I can put the effort to answer the message, but his answer was of no help and quite frustrating, it was my way to let him know that! There's a reason I disclosed that it was AI generated (maybe not the best approach)!</p>

<p>I appreciate your input. I understand that Godaddy has an algorithm for evaluating domain names, and I'm willing to consider their appraisal price. Thank you<p>PS: What would you consider a fair price if you were in the printing industry ?</p>

<p>Hi there,<p>Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your insights into the domain name market.<p>I disagree with your assessment of the domain name market. I believe that there is a legitimate market for domain names, and that it is possible to sell domain names for a fair price. However, I agree that it can be difficult to find a buyer willing to pay a fair price, especially for domain names that are not in high demand.<p>I don't think it's fair to say that the domain name market is a "propaganda technique". There are legitimate businesses that buy and sell domain names (just like cars, oldtimer, etc... ), and there are people who make money from domain names. However, I do agree that it is important to be realistic about the market, and to not expect to make a lot of money from domain names.<p>I'm still considering my options for the domain name. I'm not sure if I'm going to let it expire or try to sell it. I'll keep your feedback in mind as I make my decision.<p>Thanks again for your input.</p>

<p>I appreciate your insights. I hadn't considered the AML (anti-money-laundering) implications before, but I will keep that in mind moving forward. Thank you</p>

<p>Hi HNer,<p>I have owned a premium domain name for over 12 years. I purchased it 12 years ago for a printing on-demand project, but that project has been indefinitely postponed.<p>I need cash flow to bootstrap another project, so I'm looking for the best way to sell this domain name for a fair price. Godaddy has appraised it at over $3,000, but that seems low to me. I could wait until I'm ready to start the project, but I'm not sure if that's the best use of my time. I could use the cash flow now for other things.<p>The domain name is: printive.com<p>Please advise:<p>- What price point seems fair for this domain ?
- What would be the best approach to sell it  ?<p>Thank you
PS: No I am not a domain squatter.</p>

<p>Like spystath menrionned, all journals have an RSS Feeds stream or more, so I use RSS Feeds with my webapplication <a href="https://www.feedsapi.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.feedsapi.org/</a> to receive curated alerts in realtime (many of our users have this as use-case as well).<p>You can also use the rss feeds  with a service like IFTTT or Zapier to set up an alert system.</p>

<p>Oh well, I heard you and you should check what we do. It looks like this:<a href="http://www.feedsapi.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.feedsapi.com</a> will make your life with RSS nicer and should improve your user experience with RSS. Here are some of the things you can do: Turn those shortened rss feeds into full Text rss feeds, curate your feeds with keywords tomonly get what you really care about, curate your feeds with a more complex filter structure using RegEx, get your feeds items to be delivered everywhere in any format (htmk, txt, pdf, word...) and in full lenght !  50 sites is a lot... And you may not need to read all of those feeds items so curation makes sense in this specific case.<p>I hope this helps.</p>

<p>This is exactly what we are doing at <a href="http://www.feedsapi.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.feedsapi.com</a> , we don't use a graphical UI for the logic but keywords and RegEx to create filters...
