And then of course there are those domainers with vested interest in protecting their interests aka their domains who will poo poo on newbie domains brand new registrations in 2016 because giving such newbies confidence will dilute their own assets which they have held on too for 5-10 years. So whatever their advice to you positive or negative needs to be taken with a big pile of salt! lol
ask yourself something. would it benefit a domainer giving you advice that your brand new reg is SUPER GREAT? and in effect diluting their domains? remember the more NEW domains out there equals More choices for all potential buyers right?
so the best situation for experienced domainers is to make sure there's LESS SUPPLY (from brand new regs) to create MORE DEMAND for their own inventory of which they heavily invested in.
Bottomline? A buyer will buy what a buyer wants. There are many historical sales that will show a domain registered less than a year and sold for Thousands. Case in Point alot of VR domains, and Geographic location domains that for some reason no one has registered.
Best advice? Trust YOURSELF. Period. Too much negativity on forums such as this where people just poo poo on your dreams because the less domainers out there the less competition for them.
Also on the flipside. Don't listen to someone who is "too too" helpful or positive about your choice in domains because that could also be a way to make you go bankrupt also. effectively getting you out of the game.
again Trust yourself. Period.
