discuss Are You still buying domains?...

[DanBingham]

As the above question asks, are you still buying domains?

If so, are your purchases consistent month on month, or are you now holding back on buying domains for a specific reason?

I still buy domains but not as many as I used to. I'm spending more, but buying less domains overall. One reason is that it's gotten a lot more competitive in just the past 18 months. Another reason, probably the main reason, is that I'm trying to focus on quality instead of quantity.

buying - but my purchases are not consistent at all - when I see good name, I buy, when I see bad name I do not buy - so depends on what is offered atm

after 20 years I have almost stopped myself with brandables, came back in domaining buying traffic ones like wwwalexa.com .. i'm done in as a single person jumproping with my time instead. maybe after I get married to wifes i'll consider buying aftermarket other than hand regs..

I was only buying generic but have had urges to do some branding so I started buying again. I had slowed because I had what I wanted.

 

[JimmySun]

Buy!
But just get more and more picky.

 

[Don Khan]

Focusing more on getting quality domains,definitely buying less

Definitely less than last year. The $1 netsol thing allowed many of us to take risks and experiment, plus it made it more fun. I mean buying a nice expired COM name for a $1 is hard to pass up. But now we are back to more normal $6-$10 COM pricing, you put more effort into it. I'm doing 15-20 names a month, but sometimes will do a burst of a few in one day.

I've been buying more and aggressively this year compare to last. But this month has been the slowest of this year in terms of purchasing since I moved to new country and with lot of work to do, not much time for buying.

I am always willing to buy when the right opportunity comes up.

I do feel way too many average domains are going for prices that don't make sense on popular auction venues.

I'm focusing on higher quality domains, so I buy much less than I used to.
Also, I try to sell more of my current domains before reinvesting.
