Its me again...yes I can be stubborn
but I have good intentions
Im not having a go here, Im trying to save you those renewal costs next year because these 2 and 3 word .today names wont sell unless you can flip them for $5 each to another .today domain collector. Try not to buy names that you think are good or that appeal to you, try and put yourself in the end-user's shoes. I know if I was starting a company, I would want the .com and my local cctld. You start a business called "
Antique Deals", 99.9% of the word will type in
AntiqueDeals.com or
AntiqueDeals.co.uk if you are from the UK. Imagine the pain in explaining to every person that the domain extension is
.today have never heard of it. It really is very easy when new to the game to get caught up in buying more and more names because you like them and think they will sell. The best strategy is buy a few names, then try and sell one, if you can'y sell any of them, you need to revise your strategy and ask yourself "
Am I buying the right names?"
You keep saying things like this "
This would be for anyone running an antique eCommerce business"
The issue you have is companies aren't interested in buying these new extensions, so unless you plan on developing all these names you are buying, which is not the case as you would need a whole team of developers for this, its just money down the drain, especially as you own 500+ names.
Its been proven time and time again over the years, new extensions have come our regularly over the last 20 years and they end up just fading away after a year or 2 of domainer hype, thats all it is, domainers pushing the extensions, have a look at how many are developed or used by end-users?? Its a very, very small amount, which just limits your chances of ever making a sale, you have to get very lucky.
So its fine to say it would make a great site for this or it looks or sounds great, but if nobody is buying it from you, its just ends up expiring in a year or 2 and thats your registration fees wasted.
A little trick you might not know about, type this below in Google and it brings up sites using .today which can be useful in domaining, especially when trying to find buyers for similar domains or just researching an extension, this works with any extension
site:.today
Good luck
