purchases Some top acquisitions of 2020

Hi everyone,

I’m very excited to share some of my top domain acquisitions of recent time. My last post on acquisition was in March 2020.

Today I’ll start once again by sharing another 3L domain FLM.com which I recently acquired. This is my 3rd 3L .com domain purchase after GRO.com and EJH.com and I’m very happy with this domain to be added in the portfolio.

QMBS.com, MMDW.com and FOIK.com – As always I’m slowly acquiring 4L .com domains and I like the formula of Shane Cultra of having 7%-10% of 4Ls in a portfolio and I’m having somewhat around 7% of 4Ls in my portfolio as well.

TAQ.org and TAS.org – I’ve purchased a few 3L .orgs to date but so far no success. Though I’m very confident in selling 3L .org in the future.

LEN.CO, HIH.CO, HJS.CO, LiveStreaming.CO, Parkinson.CO, Comms.CO and Agro.CO – I’ve had good success with .CO domains by selling several domains in 4-5 figures. 3L and 1 word domains are good to invest in my opinion. Rarely I’ve invested in 2 word .CO domains like LiveStreaming and maybe I’ve two more domains of 2 word at max.

OnlineCharity.com – For many years, I’ve witnessed that “online” keyword is in constant demand and both these terms together makes it a good domain.

RehabMed.com – Short version of Rehab Medical, Rehab Medicine and even Rehab Media. I like this short one better than all variants. That’s just my opinion. What’s your take?

TheRay.com and TheToken.com – Domains with “the” keyword works very well and lately the prices are skyrocketing unlike in the past where we could buy such domains for a reasonable amount.

EmilyJane.com – This domain has a very interesting story. I sold this domain previously in 2013 for $5,165. Recently I checked this domain was not resolving to the page which it used to be in the past. I contacted the previous owner but they didn’t own it anymore. I found this domain was under brokerage of GritBrokerage so I had to get in touch with them to buy it. Thanks to Brian Harbin of GB for making the deal smooth and all ended well.

Vivante.com, WildThyme.com, EcoSun.com, FirstServe.com, RainbowCrystal.com, WireFree.com, EliteAgency.com and ArtWood.com – These are the types of domains I really like to invest in. With current hot auction prices, I’m now focusing more on private acquisitions and these are not easy to acquire both in terms of negotiation as well as prices.

Architeck.com – Another example of one word brandable domain.

PowerOfYes.com – Although it’s a 3 word domain but I believe it’s a good domain with positive meaning attached to it.

LeveragedFinance.com – Already have a very few finance related domains so this one was a nice little addition to the portfolio.

Torben.com – Quite a popular name as per LinkedIn which shows 19,000 people.

Labio.com – It means “lip” in Spanish language. Also it’s a 5L, pronounceable and highly brandable domain. Not only this domain can be used for lip surgeries, cosmetics, etc. But it can be used for other different purposes due to it’s catchy brand.

GlobalCrypto.com – A domain selling in 6 figures in the future

Many of those domain acquisitions were private and I regularly use DotDB service for buying domains as it helps in understanding how many potential endusers already exist. So make sure you’re using DotDB and their PRO plan is recommended for which you can get a 7 days trial in case you’re not sure if it’s worth it or not.

Feel free to share your recent acquisitions and/or give your feedback on the domain acquisitions.

Thank you for this informative post, I hope you can share your newest acquisitions with us more frequently, maybe on a monthly basis!

I sold vivante.co in March for $395, funny to see that you own the .com version

Thank you!

Congrats on the sale. Never mind, but I believe you undersold the .co one. What are your thoughts on it?

By the way, the funny thing about Vivante.co is that at the bottom of their homepage, they've mentioned CS@VIVANTE.COM as their contact address

Yes, now I start thinking I undersold that one, but at the time of the sale I couldn't even explain myself why I registered it in the first place So anyway, I'm content with the sale, as the ROI was still astronomical

It's funny how they misspelled their email address, maybe subconsciously :D It might be worth sending them an email that the .com version is available for a reasonable price

by the way i see that Vivante use Afternic nameserver redirection

have you tried to redirect to the Bin Afternic page for your domains,
i have met a few top domainers who do just that and say that the conversion increase a lot
it is a little tedious work, but worth it

Are you talking about such lander - https://www.afternic.com/domain/thetoken.com ?

If yes, I haven't tried it and no plans to do so because IMO that decreases the chance of selling the domain. The reason is the buyer is unable to get in touch with the Afternic broker like the usual way of reaching via TheToken.com lander. By reaching out, there are chances for both parties to communicate, negotiate and strike the deal somewhere and I sometimes do have flexibility to adjust in price from the BIN.

UncleBrand said:

yes i'm talking about that type of forward

some domainers swear it's the highest converting,
at least for lower Bin, i mean Bin under 10k$

but negotiating and contact with Afternic Brokers
is needed for higher sales for sure
