I got an sudden sale via afternic just a few days ago
where I'd set the buy now after inquiry to $1188 USD

so I am testing that price now for a while
my $3888 USD or $5888 USD may have been a little uneffecive ..

I just got another inquiry from a domain I was about to drop so I renewed it. I had the name for a decade, but it is a common phrase in the accounting industry. There are even calculators around the phrase.

It seems to me that the number of high quality (or even good quality) domains expiring / dropping has gone down significantly in the last 6 months or so. I browse the Namejet, Godaddy and Dropcatch lists frequently but very rarely find anything that I'm super excited about (although I don't really trade the 4L / numerics market). I was wondering if this is just me, or have others also noticed a significant drying up of the market?

To me I hand reg at go daddy! I really don't think about going there to buy after market. From a platform sense, it just seems off. Like it seems lifeless. I am sure that is weird for me to say. If I go to Ebay or Namepros it has a different feel. The energy just feels different. Granted this is coming from an educator that is trying to domain!

I agree completely - those places definitely seem more mechanical; however, the main GD selling platform is a simple, highly effective design. It`s definitely structured that way for a reason - or neglect.

The only wisest word I have seen in the forum... people talk too much, reveal too much and create too much competition and as such, we are experiencing this bottle neck competition now.

It is true that picking domains that is worth anything has become so much of a herculean task than previously experienced but we have to device various means to still grab what we can.

I've bought 26 expired .coms in da last couple of weeks at reg fee. My whole business model since 2003 has been basically reg fee into high xxx-10k. Not saying I never buy from an auction but it's rare as I like starting from $8 as every sale is basically all profit then minus $8 and possible renewal fees. Easier to hold out for the right offer when ya only got an initial $8 into something. Enjoy the challenge as well trying to turn an $8 investment into something.

As far as your "High Quality" filter my filter is basically .com and do I think a end user would pay high xxx+ for the domain if not I pass on it.

.com domains in my niche have pretty much dried up since many states have gone green. I find the odd one now and again, but I am more keen to develop my ccTLDs at the moment (.ca). Agreed .coms have had the fastest turnaround, but maintenance $$ is high per domain. Let me know if anyone is interested in a bulk .com transfer - looking to liquidate. I have actually been selling more .ca`s due to the newly announced Canada`s cannabis legalization. I`m surprised that many new startups choose .com due to border restrictions - probably the optics of a .com, although it would seem more appropriate to identify one`s legitimate business as being identified with the ccTLD extension.

I work for a major national telecommunications network, and in training I heard a few things like "we have one mouth and two ears for a reason; we should listen twice as much as we talk." In our case (the company I work for), it means we listen to the customer's needs.

That is something we can all learn from. Revealing too much of our own business strategy can hurt us in the long run. It also means you should buy names that your customers want. And you have to figure out who those future customers are.

The true thing that the qualify domain names on Dropped list are downing.
Now i just register about 4-5 good names/week.
My regs of this week are as below.

SurreyWindows.com
RobotAnimation.com
CkEvent.com
DozoSushi.com

Competition is not a bad thing btw. It helps us all improve our craft. But listening to the customers is important.
