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?

.com domains in my niche have pretty much dried up since many states have gone green. I find the odd one now and again, but I am more keen to develop my ccTLDs at the moment (.ca). Agreed .coms have had the fastest turnaround, but maintenance $$ is high per domain. Let me know if anyone is interested in a bulk .com transfer - looking to liquidate. I have actually been selling more .ca`s due to the newly announced Canada`s cannabis legalization. I`m surprised that many new startups choose .com due to border restrictions - probably the optics of a .com, although it would seem more appropriate to identify one`s legitimate business as being identified with the ccTLD extension.

The only wisest word I have seen in the forum... people talk too much, reveal too much and create too much competition and as such, we are experiencing this bottle neck competition now.

I work for a major national telecommunications network, and in training I heard a few things like "we have one mouth and two ears for a reason; we should listen twice as much as we talk." In our case (the company I work for), it means we listen to the customer's needs.

That is something we can all learn from. Revealing too much of our own business strategy can hurt us in the long run. It also means you should buy names that your customers want. And you have to figure out who those future customers are.

Competition is not a bad thing btw. It helps us all improve our craft. But listening to the customers is important.

And I totally agree about silence being golden.
