Great article - thanks but ... the article focused on .coms. Forgive me if I missed this but curious about the new TLD's - I have 5g.energy and translate.codes and they are listed on Epik at ridiculously low prices (below wholesale - although I just raised them a bit) as renewal is pricey -...

advice DAN or Afternic or Epik or Sedo

I've had the same no luck everywhere. Offers fell through - I need to clean house because obviously the inventory is posing a problem. But since Epik fell out with goDaddy I've noticed much less activity.

domain Portfolio Appraisal, total newbie! - VerveMoney.com

I have found prejudice often towards hand-reg - if you didn't mention that plus you were a newbie, you may have had a better response. But, "nice portfolio," is pretty good. And it didnt seem like John wanted to say anthing encoraging, so no use trying to convert the uconvertable. I am far...

information Is Domain Name Presentation Important?

I spent a lot of time a few years ago, inputting categories, and keywords and whatever else into SEDO and it disappeared within a blink of an eye. I did it and continued to hone it because I thought it would help get traffic. It seemed to do the opposite. And I went back a few months later and...

information Is Domain Name Presentation Important?

That is also true. I mean, names someone is going to like, have a vision for or need without a suggestion of how to use it, which is what I think images should do. Betting.com is obvious. But I've found that interesting imagery for names that I thought needed enhancement, maybe increased the...

information Is Domain Name Presentation Important?

I think that a "hard sell," with TMI can be a turnoff. Clip art or stock photos, ditto. I don't know why top players like Sedo and GoDaddy, haven't changed the face of their sites in years. Likewise, some of the template landing offerings are tacky. It kind of astonishes me, that's our industry...

Domain Name Wholesale Exchange DNWE Marketplace

I think the pricing leaves a lot of room -- I'm guessing the ask would be at about 1/4 -1/3 of (the realistic) retail value? It's more the extensions and novelty type names that could use representation. I didn't submit any naughties (mylabia.com - also my guess is that it would fall short of...

auctions What is your favorite domain auction venue?

Afternic doesn't have auctions. GoDaddy's auctions are best for domains with an "algorithm value" posted by GoDaddy ONLY on GoDaddy owned names (i.e expired). I never see any of the featured with any bids and other than the GoDaddy appraised, I see very few bids and the auctions I've had (with...

discuss OMG! Bitcoin is dangerous? Worthless?? Perhaps you should avoid the "extreme experience"?

The technology behind crypto (hidden) is blockchain -- that's here to stay. The technologies (platforms) continue to become more complex - more layered. More lingo to remember (and convert into domain names). Will intangible currencies remain? It's been that way since we got rid of the gold...

question Hand Registered Domain

Oops - I didn't realize the question was "flip it the next day." Wouldn't it be dreaming to flip any domain name the next day for thousands more? It's not the hand registered element, it's the idea that a new purchase/investment at (any cost or market value) can be tripled (or whatever) in a day.

question Hand Registered Domain

Many say domaining is a craft, an art, a technique, a crap shoot, long hard training from years in the trenches, unpredictably predictable, being at the right place at the right time, the luck of the draw, amorphous, etc., etc. BUT also it is creative and visionary. New ideas can come at any...

domain I need an idea for this name: infantilizing.com

Seemed like a good idea at 3 AM. And I forgot what it appraises out to, so feel free to suggest but more importantly, if I don't know what the hell to do with it, how is a buyer going to respond? All I can think of is like porn (ish) role-playing or a blog and products for fetishes? Even a...

opinion I quit domaining

Thanks for your honesty. I'm right there with ya buddy. I feel like I fritter way too much time on this with an uncertain and unstable result. Better I should fill out insurance claims (!) which at least guarantees a payoff. Can't seem to do that. Is there a 12 step program for domaining?

Thanks to the comments on .net. I am taking heed, because I just registered three (?) and I never do the .nets - although should you buy the .net to bring the .com value up?

I bought this late summer after reading an article- jesuscoin.org. It was started as a joke - jesuscoin - and then it sold like hotcakes - according to this article I read. Haven't checked up on it but I also haven't seen it in the buzz.

I had to go to the next rung down from alts - nxtcoins.net and .org. chain, block, etc. glutted. As is cryptocurrency in general, which is why I thought cryptodivest.com and cryptocoindivest.com. But divest doesn't seem to be a popular selling term. Maybe it will be. I wonder if the technology...
