Hi,

I'd like to share my sales for past month. While I did not have any single $xx,xxx sale, the total was right there.

My total gross for 1Q of 2018 is around $70K

This just shows how important a diversified portfolio is to make domain income more reliable and stable.

Here are my sales for the month (all dotcoms):

Banqio sold on Brandbucket

Listing price:$1995 USD Commissions:$600 USD Logo design:$100 USD Your Proceeds:$1295 USD

I purchased the name on NP for $xx (not sure what I paid exactly). The rest of the names are picked up from closeouts.

Yayhost sold on Brandroot

  • $2150 – Total sell price
  • $60 – Cognate’s share
  • $627 – Brandroot’s share
  • $100 – Designer’s share
  • $1363 – Net proceeds
Dentira sold on Brandroot

  • $2195 – Total sell price
  • $60 – Cognate’s share
  • $640 – Brandroot’s share
  • $100 – Designer’s share
  • $1395 – Net proceeds

Thegh sold via Afternic bin

$4425 Net proceeds, $5500 gross price.

Financefi sold via Brandpa

$2000 gross, $1500 net

Total gross from these 5 sales: $13840
Total net from these five sales: $9978

Had couple of $xxx sales as well, so total net was still above $10K.

By the way, all BR and BP sold names were previously rejected by BB (not because I prefer BB, but because they got the first dibs couple years ago).

Basically, what I am saying don't assume that a rejection by any marketplace makes your name bad.

That is a true statement. I am still a noob. I have a small portfolio of about 20 .coms. Mostly brandables. Brandbucket rejected all but one. MsMango is the only one they accepted. Woodvana and Gicii are two of the ones they rejected. Now if I was an idiot I would let them drop but I know deep down in my heart that they will eventually sale for at least five figures. Just look at Carvana. That's a brandable that was registered in 2003, who in a couple of years might rival Carmax. I’m pretty sure the owner of that domain got paid a pretty penny to part ways with it. Moral of the story....Brandbucket doesn’t know s***. In the words of the young poet Kenny Rogers “You have to know when to hold ‘em and know when to fold ‘em. Good luck in your domain investing careers.

This is inspiring and definitely something I'm shooting for.

Thanks for the share. I'm still fairly new (under 6 months to this space) and I this gives me and others viable infor and methods. I'm going to look into brandroot. Again, Thanks!

The best advice I can give you is choose wisely and be patient.

I don't see point in selling names to end users for $xxx, as the math does not add up ). The price for those kind of names is $xx reseller and $xxxx end user and nothing in between for it to be sustainable.

Maybe this is a horrible example but our domains are like prostitutes and buyers are the Johns. Even if a H* is super ugly aka domain price
, there is always a John who wants to have fun. Lol.

Hey @Recons.Com, how big is your BR portfolio compared to your BB portfolio?
If you don't want to share the number, it's OK to share the ratio. Thanks...

Hi. Happy to disclose. For March, I had a little under 100 in each of them. I had about 30 in Brandpa.

I buy on NP, GD auctions and from drops. I buy pronounceable and/or meaningful LLLL.com, and nice brandables in .com only.

Probably the owner of the domain got paid around $2K-5K )

The fact is a startup has lots of options how to name and very often will go with crappy free option rather than spending couple of Ks, even with lots of funding. Entrepreneurs have very poor understanding of branding and the value a great domain can bring.

BB has around 50K of names. Half of it are nice names, half of it - not so much. And also there tens of thousands of names they rejected because they did not recognize the value. I sold a name BB rejected for $12.5K in February. Three names from the list in this thread could have been their sale as well.

But we also have to recognize that understanding brandables is not easy and there is as much of art here as there is of science. So the owners/managers cannot give clear cut instructions to actual editors even if they themselves understand and know more.
