Because of your extreme rudeness to myself and others in the past, your false accusations, and unwillingness to even listen or respect the advice of those far more experienced in the industry then either of us, I've really tried hard to avoid your "justification" discussions where you try to explain and justify all your bad decisions as a domainer!
But I just can't let this one go for fear newer domainers will wrongly look to you as an example!
ShellYeah.com = Solid domain .. when I saw you write that I was thinking ... "FINALLY .. FINALLY .. He's FINALLY starting to learn and actually got himself a half-decent / not-horrible domain" ... and particularly if it was a handreg it would have been amazing at $15 or less! I saw the same thing as you did in it being a potential lobster/crab related slogan. I likely would not have handreg'ed it thinking that there aren't enough potential end user buyers (I'm not saying that there aren't enough, just that I'm not aware of "enough" aside from Red Lobster which isn't even that big up here in Canada) .. but I also most certainly would not have said getting "ShellYeah.com" at handreg was a bad decision.
But .. sigh .. then I continued to read ... lol
99% of the time if it takes more than a sentence to explain or justify a domain, then it's a horrible domain. The only rare exception to this might be for technical terms of future-tech.
You tend to keep on registering what are known as "One-Off" domains. Essentially domains that would be good
*IF*:
- They were spelled correctly
- They were terms people ACTUALLY use!
- They were in a better TLD (mainly .com)
For the most part you keep registering domains that are almost good .. but continue to ignore the fact that "almost" is not enough. The only thing "almost" domains are good for is to "almost" guarantee long term losses in a portfolio that holds too many of them.
The problem with your ShellYeh is that the VAST MAJORITY of English speakers not only use "Yeah", but they see "Yeh" as being incorrect or a typo.
It doesn't matter if it's what the dictionary says is correct.
It doesn't matter if all the automatic appraisals say it's worth $10k
It doesn't matter if you played golf with the president of Lobsters-R-Us
It doesn't matter if you bought the domain for $1
The most important thing that matters is if there are potential end users with a realistic chance of wanting to buy it! Period. "." Exclamation Point! "!"
I know it doesn't mean much to you, but ShellYeh(.)com appraises for more than ShellYeah(.)com at 2 of the 3 appraisers that most domainers use. I'm sure you don't know why, but that's because you're living in the past
Please
STOP referencing automated appraisals for brandables! Just
STOP !!! They are almost completely irrelevant for brandables. Even you have said in the past they aren't reliable ... yet each time you start a thread like this you use them indirectly to justify something. If an automated evaluator puts it at $10k .. it in no way means it's a bad domain .. but when you have 30 domainers telling you that the wording is wrong or that the term isn't usable for an end user .. then I'm sorry to say that the domain is worthless!
And that's not to say that nobody should handreg ... but it's significantly harder to find good domains to handreg than it is to find good expiring domains. In the past year I think I've hand reg'ed about a dozen or less domains at regular (DCC discounted) pricing. Mainly while watching the news, and seeing something in a potential future trend that could be commercialised. Then the other day I also bought 50 .co at $1 that were technically handreg's .. but were actually older drops. (In the last year and a bit I've sold 3 .co each in the $1k range and I'm quite confident I'll make money)
Inventing terms or one-offs and then handreg'ing them is very risky. Particularly if for some unknown reason you're keen on also registering 50+ variants or related/associated concepts like with all your "simpli___" domains.
What concerns me the most is that you seem to have convinced people to invest with you (I think you've mentioned 2 people at $5k each). I really want to drive the point that that is not domaining. It in no way means your domains are any good (although admittedly it doesn't mean they are bad .. it's just that in your specific cases like your 50x Simpli____.com domains .. they are indeed bad).
What you're trying to do is "Business Development". Which you claim to have done successfully in the past .. how true that is I'm not entirely sure of. But based on your posts here over the past year or so you clearly do NOT know much about "Online Business".
So congratulations to you on being a good salesman in getting people to invest in your business "concepts" .. but please note that this is a domaining forum not a business development forum .. and purely in terms of domains and branding, most of the domains you've presented in the various threads you've started proclaiming how wonderful you are, are simply not good!
I really would not be looking forward to being in your shoes a year after your initial "investments" at renewal time when faced with full priced renewals and having to explain to your "investors" that they will need to invest more money just to maintain the names .. as well as invest significantly more if they actually want to see the businesses developed.
I really hope for your case that you find a nice gullible unicorn investor who has enough money to pay for the development and marketing needed to overcome all those poor domain names. There are such people looking to invest in anything "tech" .. the one quality you have is (painful) persistence .. so hopefully you stick around long enough to get lucky in that way ... but realise that even if you do get an investor(s) that it does not mean your domains are any good (I seem to recall seeing at least one or two that weren't so bad .. so hopefully you will learn more before spending too much more).
I also strongly suggest you go to Domain Sherpa and do a search for "Sherpa Reviews" that contain the term "One-Off" .. I think more than anything else learning more about that type of very common mistake will help you get to the next level! I really hope you end up understanding .. because I really can't take any more threads like this one!

PS .. AcSel is not a good name .. in terms of a domain (which I admit wasn't a priority in 1978), unless it's a business that's mostly B2B (where business cards rule and thus the radio test matters less), people will go to Axel.com and the company will lose business and confidential emails.
