sell a group of domains or sell one by one?

cache · 10-02-2005, 10:19 PM

suppose I have a few domains such as:
xxxyyy.com
xxxyyys.com
xxxpage.com
xxxwebs.com
xxxinfo.com

If I want to sell all of them (say sell on ebay), should I:
1. sell one by one? or
2. sell xxxyyy.com and xxxyyys.com together? or
3. sell all of them together? or
4. or sell one and give others free?

What if I also have xxxyyy.net and .org etc.?

I've found on ebay you make more by selling in bulk due to listing fees, but in general terms, its better to sell each domain on its own.

I would say sell a domain on its own but if you can get a good price for bulk sale i would sell it that way. Saves alot of time.

Your $ goes down for selling in bulk but it helps when you come to transferring and fees..

If you have all extensions of a name, sell it in bulk of coz.

seperatly: more $$ and more time
bulk: less $$ and less time to sell all domains

Thanks for the replies. It looks like the following old saying does not apply to domain names:

"The Whole Equals Much More than The Sum of Its Parts".

So can I extrapolate to the following:
if I have a fixed dollar to invest in domain names, if I speculate the name xxx will be valuable in the future, I should not grab xxxweb.com, xxxpage.com, wwwinfo.com and all others because the whole package may not value as whole. Instead I should simply choose one of them, say buy xxxweb.com and invest the rest of my money to other unrelated domains.

One of the biggest mistakes newbies make. I made it myself when I first started. Every name I registered I thought I needed to register the .net .org aswell. Most of the bulk sales you see are names newbies are trying to unload due to learning their mistake. I was ebay today and saw it. Bulk sale and most names in the list were xxxweb.com xxxblahblah.com and so on. I do understnad the desire to try and corner a market but some go way overboard and buy some very useless combinations.

A good example is the b2b guys. I'll try and find their list of names and post it. Whats quite amuzing is they made a big announcement a few months back they were selling their portfolio. I got a good chuckle out of thinking they must really hate paying the renewals on the bulk of their names.
