It's quite hilarious to see people pushing domains for lower than reg fee.. sheer waste of time, money and energy...Maybe it's better to play this crap shoot as all or nothing game.
It's not all or nothing. You get out what you put in. The guys who are making serious money have spent countless hours looking through domain lists, going through sales data, researching trends and contacting domain owners. This isn't a game, there is a lot of opportunity in this niche so you have to be ready and willing to put in the work if you want to succeed. The more you know about domaining the more efficient you will be when it comes to distinguishing opportunity and you can only become more knowledgeable through study.
Word advice to the OP, stop looking at Estibot and start using Namebio.com to look at comparable sales. Let that be the first thing you check when trying to value a domain. If you want the latest search metrics Google Adwords Keyword Planner or the chrome app Keywords Everywhere is fine.
Estibot is not worth the time: https://www.thedomains.com/2012/11/02/marchexs-sales-prove-it-estibot-appraisals-are-worthless/
Hand regging domains like Loanqe.com and AdvancedSettlementLoan.com will not get you sales.
Here's why:
If you own the .COM and there are several other TLD's Taken---->Demand.
If you own the .COM and there are no other TLDs Taken---->No Demand.*
*Unless you understand the brandables market or have advanced knowledge of a new generic product/industry.
Thank
When there is no demand for your names then it will be an uphill battle to sell them. Don't waste your time with handregs. Go and spend $100-$1500 per name in the aftermarket or expired auctions, after spending sometime reading about what makes a domain valuable. It won't happen overnight but eventually, you'll start making money. You may make some mistakes but that's all part of the process.
Also liquidations like what you're talking about in the OP happen at every investment level in domaining. It may be for peanuts at the lower levels but smart investors will always try and recoup a % of their investments should they deem them to be unsuccessful. Nothing wrong about that.
Thank you, Excellent analysis!
I have iiiq.org and oooq.org with atleast 7 extensions taken. Maybe it will sell for $2200 as valuated
At this stage, stay away from anything thats not a .COM. Those don't have value in .org.
Ok, That's a pity that .org is not hot:
Got some good ones:
0dd.org
Dulcet.org
agedhelp.org
lifefunds.org
Not as experienced as some of the people on here however this is excellent advice. I admit i have hand reg most of my names so far, however i stick to .com extension until am more knowledgable. Also i dont register a name without doing at least some background reading on the trends behind it and who would be the likely buyer. Apart from the fact of selling names, domaining has made me more aware of whats going on in the world and to spend an hour daily researching new fields. I have a list of dumb names too so not to worry. Hope to move on to buying expired names soon.
