I Sold a Domain Name for $90,000

It isn’t every day that we see details of a publicly-disclosed $90,000 domain sale. This particular deal took place at the BrandBucket marketplace, and the seller was able to share some interesting facts with the community.

After acquiring the name in 2003, the seller has waited for sixteen years for the right offer to come along for this four-letter pronounceable name. More details, including the sold name, are available in the discussion.

What Is the Next Big Thing?

Trends can be very profitable for domain name investors. There are numerous examples of domains on NameBio that sold for five or six-figure fees after taking advantage of the demand caused by a trend. Cryptocurrency, for example, was the trend responsible for @Mike Mann's $195,000 sale of CryptoWorld.com.

It's natural, therefore, to try to predict the next big trend. In this discussion, investors give their opinions on future profitable industries. The likes of 5G, DeFi, and automation are all mentioned. What would you consider as the next big thing?

At What Point Do You Stop Buying Domains?

For some, domain name acquisitions are more of a hobby than a profitable venture. In the archive, there are numerous polls that revealed many investors do not make money at all with domain names. With that being said, when do you stop buying domains?

If you're a hobby domainer, do you never stop? If you're a domainer looking to profit from your portfolio, do you stop buying if you haven't made a sale?

Why Would a Buyer Require a 1099?

An investor is in the process of closing a deal for $1,000, but for the first time ever they are being asked to fill out a 1099 form. According to Intuit, a 1099 form reports income from self-employment earnings, interest and dividends, government payments, and more.

The discussion that has arisen following this question throws up some interesting points about accounting practices and domaining, which may be useful to many other domainers.

What Is Wrong With My Domain?

On a regular basis, investors post discussions asking for feedback on certain domain names that they feel have potential. This discussion is interesting in particular since it concerns a two-word .CO domain that the investor has exhibited via outbound marketing with some positive response.

However, these positive responses haven't turned into a sale. What follows in the discussion is an interesting debate on .CO domains, and their relative value to the .COM equivalent.
