ShitBio Entry #001: 2mesothelioma.com – $12,500 for a Numeric Nightmare

Welcome to ShitBio’s first roast! Today, we’re dissecting 2mesothelioma.com, a domain listed for $12,500 on Afternic.

Spoiler: It’s worth less than your monthly Netflix subscription. Let’s break down why.

The Listing

  • Domain: 2mesothelioma.com
  • Price: $12,500 (Afternic Fast Transfer)
  • Possible Seller’s Pitch: “Premium mesothelioma domain! Perfect for law firms or medical sites!”
In case the owner would remove the listing later, the above screenshot confirms the fact.

Why It’s Overpriced

1. The “2” Kills Brandability

  • Mesothelioma is a rare cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Legitimate domains in this niche use keywords like “lawyer,” “treatment,” or “guide” (e.g., MesotheliomaLawyer.com).
  • “2mesothelioma” makes no sense. Is this a sequel? A typo? Buyers will flee.

2. Zero Search Demand

  • Google Keyword Planner: “2 mesothelioma” barely has searches.
  • Even “mesothelioma” (8,100 searches/month) doesn’t justify the price – most traffic goes to established sites like Asbestos.com.

3. Similar Domains Sold for Pennies

  • Using “Mesothelioma” as the root word to search on Namebio (Placement: Any + all extensions + without number / hyphen), the sale record was insignificant:
  • 2mesothelioma.com isn’t even close to these!!

4. Numeric Domains Rarely Sell

  • numeric domains (e.g., 3Dentist.com) sell for 50 unless ultra-short (e.g., 24.com).

ShitBio Rating

Verdict: 5 out of 5

“Burn it with fire. The seller is either delusional or trolling.”

What’s a Fair Price?

  • 50 – 100 (at best): The “2” adds no value, and the domain’s length (14 characters) makes it unusable.
  • Alternative: Register MesotheliomaInfoGuide.com for $10/year (still available as at today).

How to Avoid Such Scams

  • Use NameBio: Check sales data for similar domains.
  • Avoid Numeric+Niche: Stick to brandable, keyword-focused names.
