What are you basing that valuation on?

Do people still use mousepads? It seems to me most people nowadays use devices such as cellphones and iPods that don't need mousepads.

A mousepad is something you put a mouse on to glide it over. Where do you think people are using ipods and cellphones to do that?

Huh? Cellphones have built-in keyboards. iPods don't have mice. Most laptops these days have touchpads so they don't use mice (mouses?). Mice are going the way of floppy discs. Histoire.

What are you talking about? Do you even know what a mousepad is? What do you use on desktop computer? A mouse. What do you put a mouse on? A mousepad. Nothing to do with cellphones or ipods and as for touchpads, many people with laptops are still using mice due to the great range of motion that you get with it.

Not sure what your talking about. You should research what exactly a mousepad is.

Gimme a break, willya!!! Of course I know what a mousepad is. I've got one sitting right here. I use it for my desktop. But what you're missing is that sales of desktops are plummeting. Way down. People nowadays don't buy old-fashioned desktops, they buy laptops or mini-laptops--or they avoid computers at all by using cellphones instead. If you're planning to get rich on a website that served yesterday's market (mousepads), go ahead. Make sure you have a parachute, because the landing will be rough when your bubble gets burst.

Look pal. I never said anything about getting rich I simply wanted an evaluation and I seemingly got two s**$ty ones, Ive been involved with domains for some time, but this was one of my first few .co.in/.in purchases. I simply asked for an evaluation. You said people use cell phones? Bottom line, mouse pads are still a market and therefore this still holds some value, and will hold even more when I put a site on it. No bubble bursting here, Ive got plenty of domains and plenty of websites, I think teh $5.99 I spent for this domain was well worth it.

You keep putting up copied content websites, and have a nice day.

The doman name is nice really. But if you setup the domain name similar to custom mouse pads (like mousepads(dot)com then I think it will do a good business really in India, of course not to forget about lot of SEO and marketing involved to make this a success. Good Luck.
