discuss What happens in Domainverse stays in the domainverse

Let me first say, This is just my thought and observation of the industry.

But the less people knows about domaining, the better it is for the industry.
The domaining industry thrives on Information Asymmetry.

I might sound self serving and selfish, but domaining works best when you can sell low and buy high.
The more people that enters the wholesale market, the higher the acquisition costs is going to get as we see from Auction trends. More sellers means more supply as well.

On top of that, the more people are aware that domains can be had for wholesale price, and more end users will participate in auctions, and to be honest, it is no rocket science. It takes half an hour to understand how it all works.
End users often spends weeks negotiating for a domains. So it won't take them much to figure out.
It is a double whammy in that, More end users in auction also drives up wholesale price for the resellers.
So the margin will get smaller and smaller.

Where do you thinking the industry is headed?
How will the industry adapt.

Just sharing my shower thoughts.
I am not implying we should keep everything in a cabal.

IMO, you could apply that same logic to just about any "tangible:" (even digital) product.

There is always a wholesale market that feeds the retail markets. It's no different than asking why pay full price for a car - when you can learn all the tricks dealers know (it's not rocket science) - understand the intricacies of the space (where are all the wholesale markets? is this one legit, understand pricing?).

Everyone cant specialize in everything, thats why our niche world is so valuable to the end users.

Best of luck

In the case of the car, it is not lack of knowledge, per se that doesn't allow you to buy a car wholesale. "Wholesale" usually implies buying in bulk with an upfront payment, and the margin is not 10X.

OK, use groceries as an example - doesn't matter it's the concept. There are retail customers in all possible areas that could become "expert" in.

Why doesnt everyone learn SEO and stop using agencies, or why doesn't everyone learn this or that industry.

End users are experts in their niche - you in yours - would would freelancing be needed if it's easier and more cost effective just to learn that or that or that.

All searchable by google so anything posted on the world wide web stays in the world wide web.
The industry will filter out mom and dad investors eventually as renewals will see that without return parking will be almost impossible to hold in volumes.
