How fast you sold your first domain name
I am the beginner too.
Stumbled into short video course on domaining by chance. Decided it may be interesting way of investment.
Bought a lot of garbage which I just registered by myself
Was wondering why nobody buys that garbage (cause I was sure that any domainer sells a few a month).
Paid for appraisal at SEDO (because it is written there that it is impossible to set a price over 50 000 without the appraisal there, and I decided that I can register a couple of dozens domains like ghanaporn .com, kind of which are listed for xxx.xxx at SEDO, and will make a fortune). It turned out that my pornghana.com costs only a hundred over the 99 EUR which I have paid for the appraisal, and no one can tell why ghanaporn.com is valuated in xxx.xxx.
Paid for the auctions at SEDO for a half a dozen of domains. And even sold one for 99 EUR - got a profit about 12 EUR
)) Realized that most of the domains which go into auction at SEDO (if they are not top domains) are not listed for the auction specially, but have Make Offer listing and go to the auction when the offer is already made, so they do not have a chance to lose (but those who pay 59 EUR for the auction - most of them do not get offers).
Tried to put very low prices at the garbage - it did not help
Realized that it may take months or years to sell even good domain. Came to understanding that the quality is better than quantity - it is better to backorder the domains than to try to find something valuable among the dropped. Or even to participate in auctions for the premium domains.
So... It is not that easy as it seems from outside
It will take time (and money) to get the experience and to make profit...
