It's quite hilarious to see people pushing domains for lower than reg fee.. sheer waste of time, money and energy...Maybe it's better to play this crap shoot as all or nothing game.
That's a good way to look at picking up drops vs. doing hand regs. At the same time not all drops will be liquid in a year, not that that is any sort of a revelation. Pokeman, VR, holo, etc. Still have to determine what is worthy and relevant. Some will always be, some won't.Good idea to cancel those auto renewals if you haven't already. For what it's worth, no successful domainer hasn't wasted money on hand regs at some point.
Once you know what really sells and is quality, forget hand regs and go for $200-500(?) domains on the drop/ in auction. Your downside is limited if you need to sell back into reseller market in case you don't find the end user (or they don't find you).
Good luck

Yes, its all or nothing game, but sometime you gotta sell for lower than reg fee the domains you want to liquidate, and its better to recover a few bucks than nothing at all...It's quite hilarious to see people pushing domains for lower than reg fee.. sheer waste of time, money and energy...Maybe it's better to play this crap shoot as all or nothing game.

Yes! Thanks!I thought the same while I had a dozen of domains. But if you have hundreds of domains about to expire, with no hope to sell them for substantial amount, then several hundred times several dollars means a thousand dollars, doesn't it?
Technically, i have Joined here on Friday but i have been following most posts here and elsewhere..You guys are true torchbearers and love most of the inputs here which are quite pragmatic...iam here to stay as i can afford to lose and hopefully will have a winning sale to share someday!You joined here Friday. Read the forum and you'll learn fast.
Good luck.
I have a name portfolio which fits to my renewal budget. This is giving me the holding power, the ability to reject offers or counter them. I see domaining as a marathon. This is my philosophy now. The secret is to trust the right names in a long run. Imo...
What beats me is that estibot values settlement advance loans.com at $1600 and most importantly Advertisers pay up to $45 per click to advertise under settlement advance loans but still i don't see people lapping it up..what am i missing?
It depends the name. I follow a specific project. The holding time varies from name to name. But the plan and the goal doesn't change. Many names need 2 or more renewals to get a good offer. The time pressure is on buyer's side. That's my goal.I love optimists but the hard fact is some things just don't add up..for example i was looking up at this island name skye and see the estibot value at 300k and see the owner holding it since 2001, don't see a real world value at that price..wonder what the reseller price would be for this domain? this would still fall in the quality domain category and he would surely be in plus at any point in time but i just hope most of us are not living in denial ..i believe the vesting period should be no more than 12 months max

Asking 300k for Skye.com wouldn't be crazy. Closing anywhere north of 50k would be fine.I love optimists but the hard fact is some things just don't add up..for example i was looking up at this island name skye and see the estibot value at 300k and see the owner holding it since 2001, don't see a real world value at that price..wonder what the reseller price would be for this domain? this would still fall in the quality domain category and he would surely be in plus at any point in time but i just hope most of us are not living in denial ..i believe the vesting period should be no more than 12 months max
I beg to disagree on this..It's a direct type in and the name is a symbol to the business without any ambiguity...lets see how things play out..Are people actually typing in the browser "settlement advance loans dot com"? Probably not.
Would a company name itself "settlement advance loans dot com"? Probably not.
So why would anyone pay for it?
Indeed it looks like a waste of time, domainers definitely do not value their time like they should. However there may be other reasons. For example newcomers may want to build a TR (trader rating) and reputation, or simply liquidate names they won't renew in order to get accustomed with transfer procedures. It's just getting one's feet wet. So why not as long as you quickly move up the ladderIt's quite hilarious to see people pushing domains for lower than reg fee.. sheer waste of time, money and energy...Maybe it's better to play this crap shoot as all or nothing game.
