The domain name VisitNYC.com will soon have a new owner after a buyer has placed a $10,000 bid at GreatDomains.
The bid made met the owner’s reserve price, who has chosen to send the name to public auction, instead of accepting the unsolicited offer outright. The auction ends on August 14th.
Visit & NYC Domain Names
Domain names with the keywords “Visit” and “NYC” have enjoyed some sizeable offers over the years.
This past June, NYCRentals.com sold for $25,350 at Moniker. The web address re-directs to PrimeNewYorker.com, an online database that features over 20,000, daily-updated listings of NYC apartments and other type of property rentals.
In 2008, VisitPanamaCitybeach.com sold for $25,000 in a Private sale. The domain was purchased by The Panama City Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau and Visitors Information Center, who have since set up a website that offers visitors a resource for current Panama City Beach. The website receives over 60,000 visitors per month.
VisitFlorida.com sold for $186,000 in 2004.

Dirt cheap IMO
Easily worth 4 to 5 times that undeveloped. Developed here’s the math:
Avg NYC hotel booking is $300/night X 2 Nights = $500-$600. Affiliate commissions are 5%-10%. = $25 minimum / booking. With VisitNYC.com, I don’t see why they can’t do 10 such sales a day at minimum = $250/day, $7500/mo, $90,000 a year with just 10 hotel bookings a day. Now scale that up…20, 30, 50, 50, 100 bookings a day? Add in advertising revenue, cross selling other products – tours, broadway etc..
