strategy Wanna sell domains ? Price them right !
Wanna sell domains ? Price them right ! If you're selling Toyotas you don't price them like Ferraris. The purpose of this post is not to teach you what makes a domain valuable, not even how to appraise domains. This post is about achieving optimal pricing for your domain names. For the...- Points: 58

registrars Why do domainers use shitty registrars ?
Hello, After so many years doing domaining and attending this forum I have noticed that domainers seem to be complacent and willing to use subpar registrars. But domainers are supposed to know better. They are demanding customers with large portfolios and specific needs, so they should pay...- Points: 44

advice The sunk cost fallacy
The sunk cost fallacy can be defined like this: Reasoning that further investment is warranted on the fact that the resources already invested will be lost otherwise, not taking into consideration the overall losses involved in the further investment.

$100,000 Income: No Big Deal Anymore?
The majority of domainers are indeed losing money. But those who have success are not always going to boast about it, in fact they are busy and they don't even have the time to post here. On the other hand those who struggle don't like to admit they are not doing well. Even making a good sale...- Points: 33

advice What do you say to a buyer that knows what you paid?
The value is in locating and securing the asset in the first place. If domainers didn't exist, the good domain names would be registered by corporations or individuals anyway, but the big difference is that fewer of those names would be available for sale on the market. Domainers have a place in...- Points: 28

I am planning to start a new domain registrar
Yet another market ? I am not sure there is a major need for this, in fact this is beyond the core business of a registrar. IMO you have to focus on a clear angle first, and avoid function creep (speaking from an IT point of view). It's true, you need volume. At $10, after registry and Icann...- Points: 26

discuss Domaining might be banned because IT is not FAIR.
Life should be banned too, because it is very unfair. Actually domaining is rather fair because the barrier to entry is low, pretty much anybody could do it, provided that you have the right mindset. But the truth is that you can't just buy a domain for $15 and resell it for $6500. It seldom...- Points: 26

news Verisign Blog Calls Us All "Domain Scalpers"
The reasoning is so flawed that I don't know where to begin. VRSN have a license to print money, and they are trashing their customers who risk their own money. Do they want to swap places ? Of course not, they are in such a privileged position. Then they are suggesting we are disrupting the...- Points: 25

opinion I quit domaining
Domaining requires a lot of patience. Note that patience is not the same as stubbornness. Many domainers are stubborn, they cling on to bad names and never question their strategy. You need to reevaluate your portfolio, especially in the beginning, you need to get rid of the crap and increase...- Points: 25

advice Please help with my domains before I QUIT
I have a suggestion: don't buy domains that you couldn't use in real life. If you don't have a vision for each domain you buy, a practical use, a business purpose - it's unlikely anybody else will. Be very demanding. Don't buy pigeon shit just because it's available for a few bucks. Don't buy a...- Points: 25

question How, at first glance, to recognize a quality domain name?
Gut feeling is very important. Domaining is more art than science. My basic rule is: would I put the domain on a business card and possibly advertise it nationwide ? It should be easy to spell and remember, not necessarily short as long as it's not prone to typos. I prefer names made up of two...- Points: 24

discuss What are your predictions for domains in 2017?
My own outlook is slightly different, but it's just predictions :-P Hopefully there is something for everyone :xf.grin: In no particular order: New extensions will continue to underperform.

HugeDomains got my .com with my name on it
Or you could just wait. The average lifetime of a domain is often 3-5 years. Especially speculative regs. I have a long list of monitored domains, and I have caught quite a few just by being patient. I have caught names that I had been tracking since 2005.. Sometimes names can change hands, but...- Points: 24
