Hi, This is Rich Trader. I have been in the domain game since jan 2016. But haven't made even a single sale yet. I own 32 domains. But not even a single sold. I have invested money in buying and renewals.Any suggestion on how to sell would be welcome.

Yes but the things pricing them right. I see many crypto domains going very high. So I wonder If I can price them in the high five figure range or a few hundred bucks.
Yours aren't "crypto" names, they are "crpto". That makes a massive difference.

Id suggest looking at the auctions here on NP. That should give you an idea of value.

@Rich Trader

Try to find names in a niche you have the most knowledge of. Two word .coms (dictionary words) and brandable domains should serve you well.

Wish you all the best! :xf.smile:

there is nothing of value on your list. so you just have to keep reading and gaining experience as domainer. there really aren't any shortcuts.. and what you get out of it is directly related to what you put in.. imo...

in the end it really isn't about how many years you've been a domainer .. which is a vague idea.. but rather how much time you devoted during that time to reading and learning about domaining. np is obviously great place to do that. if not the best place.

but above concept applies to just abotu anything we undertake in life :)

in other words, someone who regged his first name 10 years ago but was learnign and reading about domaining at the rate of 1 hour per week, surely cannot end up with more domaining knowledge than someone who regged his first domain 5 year ago, but kept at it with good intensity, learning and reading for say 2 hours per day.

What I see at first glance is a bunch of misspellings eg blockcrpto.com and random letters added to keywords. Everybody can register names like these. I can't see a compelling reason why someone would want to buy these names from you. They will either find another available domain, or attempt to buy better domains from someone. What would you do if you were an end user ?

If you have 32 domains, you are probably paying $200+ in renewal fees every year... for nothing.
Try to liquidate what you can here, drop everything you are not going to develop and use your disposable income to buy better (but fewer) domains. There are still good names in expired auctions in spite of the competition.

Then you'll need patience too. Even good names can take a while to sell. The perfect end user will not come knocking at your door the very next week. Domaining is a game that rewards the patient. Note that patience must not be confused with stubbornness, that is, holding on to bad domains without questioning your strategy.

There are tens of millions of domains for sale on the market vs hundreds of recorded sales per week. Assuming this is the tip of the iceberg and that weekly sales are in the thousands, the odds are still slim you will make a sale because there are lots of domains in competition with yours.
You need to have above average domains to make sales on a regular basis. Everybody can get lucky once, but repeating the feat again and again is difficult.

How can I sell the whole portfolio? Would I find a buyer of Name Pros?

IMO - Your Quality and your Quantity are both too low...

Domain Quality is the most important factor. Ask yourself "who would buy this domain from me and what would they use it for?" If the answer is not easy or it takes a stretch of the imagination to answer, then likely the domains have no value. (FYI: 99% of the time a misspelled domain is worthless and you have a few.)

Domain Quantity is another factor in making sales. In this industry it is commonly accepted that you may sell 1%-3% of your inventory annually if you have medium quality domains.
Pretending that your 32 names were of average quality that would mean that it could take you up to around 1-3 years to accomplish an end user sale.

I would personally recommend you to do some more research, most probably drop most the names you have now, and start over from scratch. Put yourself in the shoes on an end user before making any more purchases.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself in the future before buying any more domains:
Is the domain unique and not easily replaced by a reg-fee domain?
What would you be willing to pay for a certain domain as an enduser? (if you wouldnt pay $x,xxx for it if you were in that business- then don't expect someone else to)
What use could an enduser have for this domain?
How big is that pool of potential endusers you just identified?
What have similar domains sold for in the past?

I might as well renew them for 10-15 years at once and hold as long term investment.

Ouch.... I wouldn't recommend that!

Don't go throwing good money after bad.

It would help you to learn what you are doing to take the yearly renewals, well, one year at a time. Then you can reassess and adjust as necessary.

You renew 32 junk names for 10 years, then you just spent ~$2300 on 9 years of renewals on bad names.

Instead you could spend that amount on about ~300 reg-fee domains for 1 year. This would give you better odds at getting some quality domains in your profile and give you the benefit of quantity. Plus the benefit of looking at a renewal bill next year to have a better mind to decide what to drop and what to renew.

But just my opinion. Do as you see fit, of course.

1001 is considered a luck number in China. 1001.com sold for 100k in China. So it's luck and valuable to have 1001 combined that with the blockchain and crypto boom it makes for a top notch name and with that ll is read as 2 in roman numbers so the domains I hold are top quality. And would be easily worth north of 100k. Just Saying.
