Both of whom are big players in the bottled water industry.

Listing on Flippa is a mistake I believe - they should be calling up the big players in the water industry.

Definitely agree. Can't believe it wasn't owned by one already.

Big Companies like Coca Cola or Nestle won't buy it since you can't make a trademark out of it

Dat domain itself is worth gold. Just Imagine it being used by mega water packaging companies or pepsi or cocacola.

They do not have to trademark it to benefit from it... For internet marketing it would be a great domain.

Same as B&Q has purchased diy.com

Not trademarkable but easily identifiable with their brand and industry (in minds of their targeted customers)

 

[Adslytic]

Domain is worth a lot to a proper company. For regular people it could be a little to expensive to market it and make a profit...

I'm very interested in this domain and going to heavily pursue it. Can anyone let me know about the potential (if any) risks involved in this? For anyone saying its not worth $11,000 or even saying its worth in the $$$$ range, you are VERY VERY wrong.

For my understanding the whole company was acuired and not just the domain itself

Honestly, I believe $11,000 is a cheap deal for this domain, it should be worth way more than this.

That domain is a 6 figure domain to a big player in that industry... that is one industry that I not only spent 17 years in it is one that I still follow as I have lots of friends in it.

Explain to me how this domain is going to increase the sales of water ?Its also not even a branding since the term h2o is being used in many diffrent water bottles which can't be forbidden.
Which benefit would a company like nestle have owning this domain?Would it increase their sales ?Would it be a better brand than they currently have ?
Its just prestige

My phone company used to be h2o wireless.

Prestige is value to a publicly traded company.

I spent a bunch of my bottled water years working for a guy named Wayne Huizenga and Wayne would have us do whatever to make sure that the companies he owned were exhibited as prize properties.

It is not always about customer acquisition or increased revenue but often about increasing the value of a company through image.

Agree with this 1000%

Flippa is not the place to sell this.

IMO OP needs a good broker that'll reach out to the Nestles and Cocacolas of the world. This could be a major sale.

Just to clarify, I meant risks in buying from flippa, I've only ever bought domains on godaddy auctions.

I do not know about a flippa deal but you can use escrow.com to protect yourself in this kind of transaction.

I'm sure it will be 6 figures or close to that and I know that is in your wheelhouse and escrow.com will protect both parties.

I think it could be sold 200/300K to big brands.. Water is not just "in vogue", it will be still relevant in 50 or 100 years (i guess)

 

[Spintent]

For a name not only a useful, but essential name like H20 + a Dot Com + a 3-letter Domain, I'd say 11k in wayyyyy underpriced!

 

[BharaTV]

Seller is getting nervous since there are no big bidders LOL .He had an offer for 7 figures in the past yeah and didnt sold.
Funny he still didnt understood that internet is changing in the next 5 years and he will never see these numbers ever again
