Hi

you'll probably believe a whole lot of other bull before you start to figure out the truths for yourself.

the game has been restructured that way.

puff puff...ahh

It would be nice to precedence every price but nothing works like that as would be priced out of registration in order to continue. Every year the price of registration would go up at a much faster rate.

Hell no.

Especially iif they’re cherry-pick from “2005”

The closer the data, the more relevant.

Hi

IF, you just go back and read some of the threads you have posted, with a question....
then maybe you can see the confusion

and, if you read other posts from newer members, many of them have asked the same or similar questions.

so... to me, that means there is a lot of confusion, about a lot of aspects, related to domaining.
which, on a scale is about 1000 times more than when I started.

with all the picks and shovels being peddled, the domain courses, the academies, appraisal tools, and the various services and websites created just for domainers.

so many don't know what or who to believe, or which direction to proceed.​

sure, some of it may make it easier, but most of it adds further confusion and additional costs, for new entrants, particularly when they are being advised by others that they "need or should subscribe to", if they want to be successful.

all of that is part of the structure now, so from a past perspective... it's a restructuring
though some may call it growth or expansion, to me, a lot of it is smoke and mirrors.

just saying....

puff puff....

imo...

I believe that every big sale happens only because the previous smaller sales happened slowly and frequently. This lets you have the patience and easily negotiate a price you decided for a particular domain name.

If you don't have the liquidity, your negotiation power may be really low and you may end up leaving a lot of money on the table. In that context, if you have a mixed portfolio, your $1000 sale is not actually a $1000 sale. It is actually a $3000 sale, given what it facilitates.

Do you agree?

Negotiating power is down to a number of factors, not just liquidity. An important one is previous experience. If you are used to negotiating multi-£/$million deals in any industry you can do it in domaining. But as in any other industry, if you are used to dealing in low numbers the new bigger deal which comes along may be daunting, at least for the first few.

After that, whether to go for cash flow and certainty, or to take a risk of losing that deal by pushing for a higher number, can be decided far more logically.

There is also the question of what else you have in the locker. If that is your only domain of value and you are stretched for cash, for instance.

I think @biggie has put his finger on it. If you are in a new discipline within a new industry, you need to read a lot and to devour what experienced, successful people are saying long before you start trading. Trading domains is newer than trading stocks, shares, bonds, currencies and so forth but many of the principles are the same. Such as sell at a higher price than you buy
(no shorting here).

So the other essential factor is marketing. It is all every well being able to buy cheaply at auction. But if you can buy cheaply there how can you sell dearly there? For if you cannot make a profit you cannot stay in business. So how to shift what you have bought at a higher price?

Start at domain and add Sherpa. A dotcom may usefully go on the end. Listen the the successful people first.
