I`m wondering how many domains do you own in total?
How many domains do you buy and sell per year?
How many domains do you buy and sell per year?
And I must add some of the top tech namesJust over 500, 95% hand registered.
Little over 1350.
Sell around 1% p/year and plan to increase that up to 3%.
Down to 1400+ from around 3500 a year ago.
Let most of LLLL.orgs go after the price increase of around 50% from GD... It was numbers game that made sense till then...
I'll update mine too. I pruned even more first to maybe around 1200 and then ramped up within last year and half to about 3700 domains currently. I haven't really checked the sales against the ramp up to have exact sell through, but I'd estimate at 1.5%-2%. With the launch of my marketplace, I expect 2-3%. As for quantity, I plan to get to 10K within 2 years and then add 5K-10K names every year.
Are you adding any money into domain investing from other businesses as well or solely from domain income?
Reinvesting part of domain income. How about you?
So most part of money invested into domains is from different businesses income which makes sense since you're targeting to add domains quite aggressively in coming time.
At my end, it's 100% domain income invested back into domains so I cannot be buying at the same pace like yours.
For good, descent names picked at low xx$, what's the efficient sales price?I was probably not clear. I am reinvesting earnings from domains, not other sources.
But probably you select names more expensive to acquire? I currently buy either llll.com for xxx to xxxx or brandable names for very low xx$. With the latter category, adding 1000 names costs around $20k.
Adding 100 llll.com costs as much as adding 1500-2000 brandable names.

Efficient: if one wishes to sell and acquire more.
1500, 2000, or 5000?

Wow! That's really impressive to see you're investing all money into domains from domain income only considering the results you've achieved so far
Earlier I used to buy lot of expensive domains but some time I'm focusing more on average domains in 3 figures and mostly 2 word brandable domains so I can sell them for low-mid 4 figures which is the sweet spot for endusers to buy the domain.
Thank you! I'd say about 50% of my domain income goes towards renewals and new acquisitions. I rarely buy brandables for $xxx, as I don't want to get into bidding wars with HD and others for the names that still won't sell above low to mid xxxx. $20 to $2500 even with a bit lower sell through is better than $200 to 5000.
Yes, it takes time to look through the lists to buy 5-20 names a day. But it also takes time to be in auctions and you have to be there stuck at certain hours.
The only auctions I still regularly participate is for LLLLs and added over 100 during the past year. Few brandables I bought for xxx lately are LaCherie, Briefa, Raily (sold) etc. Those would be the ones I can see an own use for pretty much.
Examples of the names I buy at closeouts are LetsGoRentals, ClayExpressions, Turanos, BJCustom, LifeRugs, ScienceBuy, InfluxFinancial, Keramio, Draska, TimelessHotel, Restaurantex, AutoRepairCare, Riville, Brackner, VestPartners, Fabna, SongMarketing, Trisla, H2OFactory, WeaponVault, QualityTreasures, Frangelli, Viazu, Lovesque, ModelReels, RightAthletics, Techtian, Steys, Nutscoop, BackyardHouse, RepairPages, Portahut, PalmaBella, Sharoco, WestPortraits, VermontHills, DyeWork, USAQuantum, SecretLog, LeftRightGaming, StraightRecords, Costean, PointPsychology, ForteMart, GloriousCraft, InstaTray, CareerAward, BallTutor, CaspianTrade, BrilliantWines, LifeProspects... These are just part of what I bought in last 2 weeks...
