discuss Are you still finding high quality expiring domains?

[Bros]

It seems to me that the number of high quality (or even good quality) domains expiring / dropping has gone down significantly in the last 6 months or so. I browse the Namejet, Godaddy and Dropcatch lists frequently but very rarely find anything that I'm super excited about (although I don't really trade the 4L / numerics market). I was wondering if this is just me, or have others also noticed a significant drying up of the market?

 

[davidc1]

so you sell on a daily basis for $100?

no, it depends of domains, parking revenues, if it's first offer for the domain, if i have it for a long time or not, etc...

if you sell a domain for $100 USD
your margin may be what $50 usd?

if you sell for $2000 usd
your argin is $1950 usd

so are you sure about the better price point

so what is the most profitable price point?
giving more money in 1 month?

 

[davidc1]

the average price is near $500 but some are sold 3k, some others $100.

And what about Mike Mann equation?

 

[frank-germany]

And what about Mike Mann equation?

Mike Mann
works because he owns 265 K domains

 

[Dondomainer]

Mike Mann
works because he owns 265 K domains

But, works in one by one domain ( the price ), so that number is not important.

 

[davidc1]

And what about Mike Mann equation?

do you know how he works with price ?

 

[Dondomainer]

do you know how he works with price ?

not...but is not the total of registration

 

[frank-germany]

not...but is not the total of registration

of course
its a numbers game

 

[Dondomainer]

of course
its a numbers game

why?

 

[frank-germany]

why?

if you own 275K domains
chances are

that somebody would wants one
even if the price is ridiculousy high

better
then when you own
1000 domains

do the math

 

[davidc1]

yes but what about ROI
Even for HD with 3.5m domains.

 

[Dondomainer]

if you own 275K domains
chances are

that somebody would want one
even if the price is ridiculousy high

better
then when you own
1000 domains

do the math

I think it's wrong to see this from the seller side because in the end, it is the buyer who determines the success. In other words, when a buyer pays a ridiculous price, he does so at the expense of a single domain and not by the total registration number.

true

but you simply attract more of those potential buyers
who want only 1 domain

but i tall about the price

 

[erchaman]

Thats interesting. How many

I often have offers at $100 (maybe 2-3 per day), but a counter offer at $500 will be accepted maybe once every 10 offers. A counter at $2000 will be accepted maybe once every 50 offers.

So to make that amount of offers/sales, how many domainings are tou registering/week?

 

[davidc1]

about 10 per day.

 

[erchaman]

Nice! I'm glad to hear that domaining is your lifestyle. How envy you!

 

[erchaman]

about 10 per day.

But I supose that to recieve offers you sre not selling domains on BIN- auction. You just register and wait for some end-user customer to contact you, right?

 

[toughdomains]

yes I was doing my weekly rounds of fishing and the last few months have not been great.
Domain King rick sells one name a year about 20 sales in 20 years.

Do you think the decline in good names has anything to do with china getting into the game more aggressively in last few years? or is it the drop catch services releasing fewer?

I suspect as easy as registars have bots with filters, all drops premiums previously set by then, they will autobuy. NNNN -LLLL- etc..etc...etc......etc........

 

[rhakim]

I am in the smae view with you, especially in Expireddomains most of the domain name are Typo domains ...

 

[Asfas1000]

I mean, the very same guys who are bidding there will not buy here.

Are you sure they are the same guys ? Personally, I don't think so.

 

[Smooth]

May be.. but the point I'm trying to make is, these back-orders & drop auctions are driving ppl nuts! Did you notice the auction of 5111.com?! Crazy!

 

[GeorgeQuang]

So as you complained : Dropped list is not good enough, Auctions always overpaid.
How could we live in this industry now ?
