    Bakerloo (dot com)

    The word Bakerloo will be familiar to anyone who lives in London England, or has visited London.

    Its the name of one of the numerous subway train lines that you find in London. It runs north-south through the centre of the city (14 miles long, 25 stations). This is what wikipedia says

    So Bakerloo will have a very high recognition factor in London and the UK.

    Potential development could include a paid business directory, entertainment listing site, tourist info site perhaps or social networking site.

    Any thoughts about potential values would be appreciated.

    any traffic?

    No way to appraise based on *potential* development value.

    Traffic is negligible.

    I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. If a domain is undeveloped, how else can you appraise it.

    I have seen Admins here also talk about how appraials based on future development are tough to do because there is no way to tell how well the dev is done.

    Google is down for me to check the search volumes, but kd's uk db shows only 7 so doesn't suggest huge search interest.

    Absent any term searches on the se's or type-ins it doesn't really suggest there'd be anything to leverage here by way of development.

    It's possible that a company around that area incorporating bakeroo in its trading name might be a potential buyer at some point in time and if approached I'd respond on that basis - but wholesale/liquid I thnk you'd need to be looking around the low $xxx's.

    Thanks for your advice.

    I would have thought that any leverage would come from the fact that it is a memorable name associated with a specific part of London.

    that's what I was getting at with the last part of my post - the part about leverage is with respect to leveraging the name to get traffic not leveraging to build brand.
