What's the meaning behind that one?

I did a little digging and found a ton of names on GDA with that plus seemingly random numbers.

Good question. It has some significance in China, but I have not yet been able to ascertain what it means. I stupidly purchased that one based strictly on strong metrics. Even though I ended up getting lucky and selling it, I still consider that purchase a mistake that I shouldn't repeat ( how can I know what a domain is worth when I don't even know what it means?). When I was contacted by a 4.cn broker about it, I priced it blindly at $2,888 to which I received a counteroffer of $1500. I immediately accepted because, once again, I have no idea what it's worth.

Only smallish deals so far this year.

All ends up to buy better names

Good job!

I'm trying to figure out whether you're congratulating me or telling me that my domains suck. :D ( kidding )

Thanks!

Modest, are we?

J/w for the incoming inquiry sales, did you park your names? Or use custom templates? If you parked, which company do you use?

Congrats on the sales. Very nice.

Not exactly. It's more about the fact that earlier today I made the mistake of looking through some of the historic sales out there and after seeing that so many mediocre domains fetched 5 figures I started questioning whether I knew what I was doing...

I point all my domains to my own very basic contact/price-inquiry page which I'm currently revamping, but despite being crappy it's still my number one source of sales.

Congrats on the sales. Very nice.

Thanks! Much appreciated!

A little more digging and I found an expiring domain tyc-ylc.net which used to forward to a Chinese (I think) gambling website. Wonder if there's any connection to that. You can see that at Archive.org

Yes. When I had plugged tycylc into google translator, it gave me "sun city casino". I also noticed that besides tycylc, the Chinese register a lot of different domains that have ylc in them and that they all typically have something to do with gambling. However, when I plug just ylc into Google it tells me that it means "a car". I've asked Chinese friends to help, but they don't know either and that includes a friend of a friend that lives in China. I also emailed the 4.cn broker about it after the deal closed but haven't received any response yet. *shrug*

There's a Yakama Legends Casino (YLC) in Washington state, but I don't know how that would tie into Chinese websites. Ya never know...

I think we can probably file that one under "coincidence".

I was playing with google translator and noticed the following. As I type tycylc into it, google produces one Chinese character for each letter that I type. I don't understand why it does that since each Chinese character represents an entire word not just a letter, but that's what it does nonetheless. Anyhow, when I click on those characters in order to see the English translation, google also generates the pinyin version of the Chinese characters at the bottom of the page. Here's what it looks like: Tàiyáng chéng yúlè chéng . Notice that tycylc corresponds to the first letter of each syllable. Is tycylc a generally recognized abbreviation? Maybe, but I'm still not sure.

Interesting. I had been thinking it's an acronym for some (possibly) commercial entity.

Kind of strange that your Chinese friend couldn't elaborate on it, if it was anything obvious.

It's actually not that surprising because the situation with Chinese is complicated by the fact that they have so many dialects. For example, Mandarin and Cantonese sound very different from each other and people speaking one don't understand people speaking the other. By contrast, they're both written exactly the same way so they could pass each other notes and be able to communicate perfectly in writing even though they would not be able to speak to each other. The significance of that is that even though they're written the same way in Chinese, the English spelling of those two dialects is entirely different since they sound entirely different. Therefore we'd first have to know which dialect tycylc was written in to know who to ask about it. Does that make sense?

Anyhow, we probably shouldn't put anymore time into this on here since that's not what this thread is supposed to be about. Apologies to everyone.

SpringfieldDUILawyer - $11
CIADrone - $30
JunoBlizzard - $1

All .com; all through Flippa.

May seem piddly, but these are my first three sells since I decided to take a stab at domaining about a month ago.

Congrats on your first sales. Good to break the duck as we say in these parts.

Strange how things work out in this business. I would have expected SpringfieldDUILawyer to fetch more than CIADrone. I always wondered why anyone would reg a name like CIADrone

I'd like to hear more details on this. How much did you spend on ads? How did you design the banner?
