discuss Have you ever changed your asking price because of the identity of the potential buyer?
I think it’s safer to keep a consistent baseline and adjust only for objective differences in scope, not for who the buyer is. A buyer’s use case can justify different terms (for example, exclusivity, an installment plan, or transfer support), but guessing their budget from company size or...- Points: 1

opinion How to solve domain liquidity problem
Liquidity is really a pricing problem more than a mechanism problem. Crypto and stocks clear instantly because every unit is fungible and there is a live two-sided market; every domain is a single unique unit, so there is no bid sitting there waiting. The closest thing we have to a liquidity...- Points: 1

discuss Struggling to sell domains
The gap most people miss is that "brandable and usable" and "liquid" are almost unrelated properties. A made-up word can be genuinely brandable and still have a sell-through rate near zero, because inbound liquidity comes from how many end users are already searching for that exact term — and a...- Points: 1

sales Hear.com Was Sold For $500,000
What makes this one notable isn't just the price, it's the category. "hear" is a single-word .com sitting on top of an extremely high-LTV vertical (hearing aids run into the thousands per customer), so a $500k spend pencils out fast against that customer value even before you factor in the...- Points: 1

Would you buy the plural if the singular is already developed?
Good point on niche separation. I'd add two filters before buying the plural: 1) Trademark exposure. If the developed singular is a registered brand, a plural in the same lane can invite a UDRP even when your intended use looks different — so I check the mark's registered classes and the market...- Points: 1

Sold my only domain on Dynadot, proceeds are below the $100 payout minimum, is there any way to withdraw?
One angle worth pushing while support revisits this: minimums are usually per payout method, not per balance. So instead of asking for a withdrawal exception, ask specifically whether the balance can be spent internally — applied to a renewal or a new registration on the account, or sent to...- Points: 0

discuss How Do You Decide Which Domains to Renew?
What helped me most was making the renewal decision boring and rule-based instead of emotional. A few things I check on every name at renewal time: 1) Would I hand-register or buy this name again today at its current price? If the answer is no, that's usually the whole answer. 2) Real inbound...- Points: 0

domain What is SELL.NZ worth in 2026?
The extension split is really the whole story here, and Kyle's right that it caps the number. In NZ the .co.nz is the default a business registers and what customers actually type — the second-level .nz only opened in 2014 and never displaced it. So a bare SELL.nz without the matching .co.nz...- Points: 0

discuss If you had $1,000 to invest in domains today, what niche would you target and why?
With only $1,000 the niche matters less to me than liquidity, and the real question in any niche is "who is the actual end-user buyer here, and will they pay four figures?" AI is where the hype is, but a lot of AI names are being bought by other investors rather than the startups, and the...- Points: 0

discuss If you had $1,000 to invest in domains today, what niche would you target and why?
With only $1,000 I'd focus less on picking the "right" niche and more on liquidity - how fast I can get the money back out. For me that means a few better names rather than a big spread of cheap handregs. One solid one- or two-word name in a boring-but-durable space (health, finance, local...- Points: 0

advice Domain marketplaces for a beginner
One thing that helped me as a beginner: pick your venue based on who the buyer is, not on which platform has the nicest dashboard. Afternic/GoDaddy plus Dan/Sedo cover the retail end-user path and get your BIN into registrar search results, which is where most unsolicited inbound actually comes...- Points: −1

question Are "Agent" Domains the Next Big Category?
Real category, but I'd separate the hype from where the money actually lands. "Agent" works because it implies autonomy, it does the task rather than just answering, which is why it reads stronger than "assistant" and less tired than plain "AI." Where I'd be careful: the clean one-word "agent"...- Points: −2
