In this week's Top Topics, we feature a six-figure, three-letter .COM sale, and there's a general discussion about disclosing domain sales data. Elsewhere, a seasoned domainer comes up with a list of ten mistakes made by new investors, and just how do you come up with ideas for hand registration domains?
How Do You Come Up With Hand Reg Domains?
Hand registration, the practice of finding available domains and registering them, can be a lucrative practice if you know what you’re doing, turning $8 registrations into three- or four-figure sales. Alternatively, it can be disastrous if you lack the skills to effectively find those undiscovered gems.
In this discussion, an investor has asked the community for ideas about how to come up with ideas or create a formula to find and register domains with potential for resale.

NAS.com Sold for $720,000
Up until now, the largest publicly disclosed domain sale of the year was OA.com for $614,940, but that has now been beaten by a sale disclosed by investor @Keith. The domain in question is NAS.com, and the reported sales price is $720,000.
According to WHOIS, the new owner is from China, but we are yet to learn what the name will be used for. It’s an impressive return on investment for @Keith who reportedly acquired the name a couple of years ago for the equivalent of $50,000 in bitcoin.

Are You Pricing Your Domains Too Low?
This week, an investor observed that many domains are being priced too low in their opinion, but is it a common occurrence? According to the discussion, this may be something that many investors have noticed.
Are investors generally undervaluing their domain names when it comes to retail prices? This is a very subjective matter but it certainly deserves some thought and discussion.

Domain Sales. To Share, or Not to Share?
This week, we’ve seen a high six-figure sale shared with the community in NAS.com, but sharing isn’t a common occurrence. Domain investors such as Braden Pollock have a policy of sharing their domain sales as it helps the community in general to offer comparable data.
But many domainers don’t share at all. This in depth discussion offers several viewpoints to sharing their domain sales data. Do you share data?
