I'm just saying that's a URL that is valuable for someone wishing to brand it.
Most insurance agents will never have a "brand".
I'm not an expert but I've been an insurance agent for a long time and I generate all of my leads online.

I'm not saying HoldMyBeer couldn't be branded, but it would be interesting to see to what purpose? Sure, someone could invest in building a brand around it, like they could with very numerous other catchy short phrases that are in great supply, but IMHO the value of HoldMyBeer depends on the probability (or lack thereof) of that one phrase being embraced and targeted by an already well capitalized entity. So, how broad is that opportunity without depending on luck?

If you don't mind me asking, what are you using your domain names for? Do you sell/flip them or do you use them to create adsense lead gen sites?

I purchased a domain name recently. Here's the skinny:
You're not getting $1600, and probably not even $160. Domain names don't carry the value they did in the early 2000's.
Hell, insurance agents will even go with a .org or .net. The org looks less "salesy."
Here's my example:
I bought TravisPrice.com. It had been up for sale for at least 5 years and they wanted $500. This was discounted from $750 about a year ago.
I had waited because it was up for renewal this year and wanted to see if they'd let it lapse. They didn't. I called up and bought it for $150.
That's from a domain name selling company. Who likely buys in bulk and gets discounts. Secondly, your name has more brand value in this business than a generic "getquotes" domain name.
Exact Match Domain's are also looked at as a bit spammy.
Do you. If you want to list it for $1600, go for it. I think you'd be setting yourself up for failure.
I'd try to sell it what I had in it +20%, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Nice. "Premiere" is a bit over the top, don't you think?

No way! If you have a different agent in Michigan, they're always number 2 or lower.

Wow, you've been featured on Fox Business. I'm impressed Lefty!!!
I miss Trish.
Just in a blog post. Not on TV. However, I'll never reply to a Fox Business request again. They didn't even given me a no-follow link.
Admit it. You bought it to keep your competition from grabbing it for a smear campaign.
