debate Are domainers unknowingly destroying domaining!?

[artstar]

Domaining from my research within the last 10 years has revealed that the influx of new domainers has seemingly destroyed domain values.

I say this because it seems they are selling domains at far lower prices than they should which leads to destroying values on other domains when this practice is done.

For example look at namebio 3d domain sales

The sales prices IMO are far below what they might have been even 2 years ago

I think too many newbie flippa domainers are flipping domains in quantity to get a fast buck but they were unwittingly destroying domain valued across the board by performing such sales practices!

Is it just me or do you see the same trend?

:P

Well for sure but its affecting your domain values! Do u even care?

If you think domain prices are low now, wait until the tech bubble finally bursts.

It only increases my pockets so no, I don't care. It's doing the exact opposite of what you're talking about. It helps me all/hurts me none. Funny how you see it differently.

My thought on this one is that the quality of names has also dropped and prices was in lock step with them.

With that being said, I do not think that 3D is a fad... just that attention(s) have/are being placed else where for the moment.
equity78 showed an image of a trend for the term 3D. What I think most people saw was that currently, 3D is moving into a trough after coming off of a peek.
If you look at the image however, it will show that there was a peek prior to 2005 that moved into a trough in 2007 and peeked again in 2012 and is not moving back into a trough.
I think what we see there is the ebb and flow of life.

3D is a narrow market and when its in the news... people follow it. When it is out of the news, there is still an attraction to it... just not as big.

So to bring this back to the original post.
There are more domainers now then there where a few years ago.
There are more options now then a few years ago.
Even the average layperson is becoming savvy to domains/websites/online presence. All of that equates to people looking for better deals and in turn lower prices.
To say it is *JUST* domainers, I think would be a misplacement of blame on the natural progress of sales.

Just my thought... read it at your own peril!

Cheers

IMO new gTLDs are reducing the value of domain names(price wise) more than new domainers flipping domains for low values.

I also feel like you are seeing what you want to see because havent domainers also lead to the public awareness and enlightenment about the domain industry? i dont see you acknowledging that but instead you are bashing domainers for selling domains cheaply.

Maybe 3d domains are selling weak now because thats the flaw of "trending" domains? maybe the 3D fad is passing away?

It is well worth pointing out that the entire basis of this thread is seriously flawed, purely because domain prices are simply not falling, and the OP hasn't presented any contrary evidence. Sedo reveal their sales statistics quarterly, and the average sale price of a .com on Sedo is significantly higher in 2014/2015 than it was in,, say, 2012.

I think domains are appearring cheaper lately due to the quality of domains that are still available. All the best names are taken and in use. This means people are resorting to purchasing more generic and nonsensical domains that can't demand the higher prices of more focused domains.

On top of that some of the recent gTLD's are not as well known to the general public so cannot command as high prices.

some domain price are hike accidentally and some price going down don't know whats goin on with domain

 

[Domain Lead Finder]

I do not think cheap flips de-value other domain sales. It is like any other equity there's penny stock and there's blue chip and they do not have the same value. There is day trading, short term trading and long term investing. Many forms of trading and equity.

i2i (investor to investor) :D sales are a large part of domain sales, I would say that most of the sales on flippa and sedo are i2i (do a semrush or spyfu search on adwords spending for flippa and sedo and you will understand)

I think that the new TLDs devalued the .com-s a bit but then again it opened up a whole new field to do business in, so in my opinion, its more of a matter of adapting to the new market and the emerging of new business models.

to further this ccTLDs are getting de valued by repeats such as .uk being introduced over the top of .co.uk
