High priced domain....

seamaster · 04-05-2008, 10:33 AM

Hey people, this is my first post here...

If I buy a domain worth of 20000 USD today then how much i can sell it off after 6 months of time. What factors decide the price appreciation.

The domain itself, current market, was the 20K name a bargain when you bought it or overpriced? If anyone can predict what the market will be 6 months from now (and be right) I bet they smile a lot when they go to the bank. Really it's not that cut & dry.

$2000. If you are lucky.

I am not joking. There is money to be made in domains, sometimes quite a lot of it, but only if you buy the RIGHT domains. Most domainers price their names to sell to end-users. That means someone who is in the business referred to by the domain and who needs that particular name to build their website. Such buyers are very rare, but when they show up they often will pay ten, twenty or more times the price a domain investor (who is interested in a variety of names) will pay.

So if you buy without knowledge you will pay end-user prices when you are trying to invest. The answer is knowledge. It is almost all here in the NP forum - read read read, then read some more. I would not consider spending $20,000 until I had mastered the information on this website, and then would stick to safer areas like LLL.com and LLLL.com.

To directly answer your question, high value domain names historically gain around 40% or 50% per year. But ya gotta do the learnin' before you do the earnin'.

The market generally is in a downturn, so I wouldn't be expecting much.

I agree with the others. I guess it highly depends on what domain you're buying and if it's something most people (esp. end users) would kill for. Just make sure you're buying the $20'000 name at a bargain (if that's even possible to predict). But quick example: seo.com for $20 would be a bargain that you will most likely get a profit out if you resell it. guesswhatihavethisgreatdomain.com for $20'000 would probably be a bad idea...but then again, you never know.
