Last week, we published our initial findings from a review of Mike Mann's published sales since the start of 2015. The data, which is all from Mike's Twitter feed, brought up some very interesting aspects for discussion within the community. This week, we continue our look at the data, which includes a full table listing all of the sales that Mike has published since January 2015.
Firstly, let's look at the length of each domain name. We touched briefly on this last week, finding that 26.2% of all sales were 11 or 12 characters in length. Following on from that, we've found that the average length across all domain names is 11 characters.
These 11-character domains include OuttaTheBlue.com for $6,000 and HelpSomeone.com for $4,000. Elsewhere, there have been a huge amount of sales for domain names that are 11 characters in length. According to NameBio.com, there have been 3,355 sales for domains with 11 characters in all TLDs. These sales include OrganicBaby.com for $168,000 and BookKeeping.com for $150,000.
In terms of the length of time that Mike has held his domain names, it looks like getting five and six figure sales takes a considerable amount of patience. From the data available, the average time that Mike owns a domain before selling it is 1,974 days. This equates to 5 years, 4 months, 3 weeks and 6 days.
The longest period of time that Mike has held one of the 83 domain names analysed is 4,190 days, which is almost 11 and a half years. That name is TheGoodWord.com, which Mike acquired in February 2005 for $350, and eventually sold for $40,000 in August 2016.
The shortest period of time between an acquisition and a sale is with the domain TakeTheChance.com, which was acquired in August 2013 for $300, before being sold in March 2015 for $15,000. That's roughly a 4,900% return on investment within 594 days.
After part one of our analysis of Mike's sales, we had some requests to see the full table of data that we compiled. Here is the data that we managed to find from Mike's Twitter page, showing his sales from January 2015 until the start of September 2016.
