discuss THE DOWNFALL OF DOMAINING?

About four years ago, the top domain on the GoDaddy auction Most Active list would be around $300. Since then, the domain market has much more money flowing in and a lot of competition for just decent domain names that become available. The problem is a lot of domainers are impatient once a...

Selling reputation for $100

Very disappointing to see so many people think it is acceptable to break a deal that has been mutually agreed-upon.

Domain scammer

So scammer picks up the domain on the drop, lists it for $10K, then floats a $50K offer to you in hopes that you will buy it for $10K. If that works, he is dancing all the way to the bank and you are holding a domain that you did not want to keep in the first place. I wonder if anyone has...

Would this business model actually work?

Getting decent, aged domains at $5 or $10 is the hard part. There's a reason people have no problem paying the $60 a pop when one becomes available. Why care what anyone here has to say? Try it yourself and see if it works for you. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

showcase Showcase and Discuss Kumquat/Cumquat/Quat domains

Admittedly, I was a little skeptical that kumquat hybrid names involving our other wonderful Showcase and Discuss threads will become big assets. After remembering all of the interest and sales reported in the other threads, I wanted to commit to kumquats. With so many great kumquat domains...

advice Please help with my domains before I QUIT

I think you're starting to figure it out. Make an effort to sell what you have over the next few months and use whatever you recoup to target some new domains. Getting too specific with a domain name limits the number of potential buyers. Once you have a great list of domains in your account...

How do you accept initial offers without looking too eager?

There is nothing wrong with accepting a great first offer. Some people actually seem to get turned off by a counteroffer, even when there is not much of a difference from the initial offer. Just give it a little more time before firing off a response next time. That way, you appear to have...

discuss Domain Investors or “Domainers” are often hated, but is this fair?

Someone sent a message to me a couple of months ago saying that I am a waste of life squatter and a P.O.S. The domain he or she referenced has brought in multiple four-figure offers that have been turned down. At least give me an offer I can turn down before you insult me. Nothing you can do...

discuss Showcase and Discuss Marijuana/Pot/Hemp/Cannabis domains

I don't think domain names with pot or weed as keywords are a good investment. You won't see those terms if you look at the names of established dispensaries. I picked up Medicinal Center(s) to sell since that is more of the type of name they operate under. Given that they operate as...

Let's discuss Andrew Rosener's idea of owners bidding in auctions

Auctions are not active negotiations between buyers and sellers. The seller sets the parameters and the final sales price is determined by the buyers in the open market. Having sellers involved in the bidding process allows these sellers to potentially create an artificial market. If there is...

discuss What do you like / love about domaining the most?

I always loved the search. Scanning long lists of less-than-stellar domains, just to find a single auction that was not getting the proper attention from everyone else. I can remember as many celebratory buys as I remember for sales. I spent so much time on the buying side that I hardly did...
