Don't let brandables drop

[leftfielder]

Don't let your brandables drop without testing them on Namerific and BrandBucket first. I almost did because I'm focusing on just a handful of premiums and quick flips instead of 150 worthless domain.

If you've had no takers in 12 whole months, they're just not going to sell. BUT, now that they are listed, I can renew them and reduce the price next year. Yeah, the commissions are high but it's like sitting on gold until you get that escrow email.

Almost all the domains below were so close to being cancelled. I'd rather let them expire than list them Godaddy and scamBay as they had been listed in Sedo MLS for an entire damn year.

In fact BB and Namerific was my last ditch effort before cancelling them altogether. I heard here that Zane doesn't like replacement letters such as y for i and s for z. So imagine my surprise when Vygr, LiveChatz,KoolMama NativeOptions was accepted into Namerifc. They were all already declined at BrandBucket LOL.

Xyrin has been listed for 40 weeks on BrandBucket and Ardova was accepted 4 months ago but I haven't pushed it through. Avonhurst and Transformata was accepted but I am withdrawing Transformata because it is only valued at $2100. It's a latin form of Transform and I'll only walk away with about $1300 after commission. Avonhurst is a couple hundred more but I'm confident it will sell fast because it's more corporate sounding, plus the name of a Canadian town, *wink wink*

4/14 accepted from Brand Bucket
4/9 accepted +1 pending from Namerific all from BB decline
The last pending is at $31k but the logo prize is $1000, pushing the commission to something like $8,000. If he counters with a lower offer, I'm really hoping money is his motivation and he counters with a lower offer he knows he can sell at. If it's declined, look for it on the drop in 390 days :lol:

I don't know the background of these folks running the show but I got woken up at 4 am from emails from Namerific. Their whois is a UPS P.O. Box. I have to give him credit for possibly being located in San Francisco near Silicon Valley, but really...how much networking to sell brandable names can a small business guy do if he's realistically working from home?

One day I will die and STILL regret dropping this domain

The tough part of being a "forward thinker" is keeping up with the renewals. A lot of people regret not taking advantage of the new millennia 10-12 years ago. Technology concepts are coming to market faster and so much more efficiently making it unbelievably hard to focus on what to flip, what will flop and what we should be flapping for the next 20 years. Sounds familiar? :lol:

I will die and STILL regret dropping AppDeveloper.com back in 2008-2009 because I had just upgraded from a TREO to this piece of crap.

As a booby prize, I still have the twitter account, which of course is attached to a google apps domain name that I dropped too. What will you regret dropping on your deathbed?

Hopefully no regrets


It is what if is


Whatever happens happens

Keep moving forward.
You'll see another chance.

One domain I regretted not buying was Vajazzling.com - I was offered it for $100 a few years back, and said no. Now it's a worldwide craze and it sold on Flippa for $17k this week.

I regret not buying $10k in BitCoins when i first saw them and they were .50.
They just hit $1k per coin today.

I was on a hacker forum and some lunatic was accepting bit coins as payment.

Back then it cost 10k bitcoins for a pizza and people were giving them away as a joke.

That $10k in 2009 would be $5mil today.

I've also missed out on instant millionaire stock tips for NurtiSystem, and my all time favorite is when in 1999 I worked for a company that created IPK's (internet press kits) for bands.

Don't know what they are? Well, a person could have their photo, information about them, some of their music, and contact information. Sound familliar? That was the complete MySpace concept. Except in 1999 the internet bandwidth was a joke and most of the population still had 56k modems, which made having that concept live internet site inconceivable and we were putting them on mini-cd's

Do I regret all of that? Every single day

But... take that hindsight and apply it to decisions you make now my friend. Best of luck!

Sold a name for $500 on sedo. I was a newb!
Now I realized that the name worth more than 10K!

Rule Number one, Don't set a BIN!

A hypnotist can erase your memory. And you will not feel regret anymore.

I don't regret dropping, rather I regret selling sexive.com! Sold it cheap last week, got a very good offer this week!
Rule number 2- PATIENCE

I agree

 

[4better]

I regret not having involved in domain industry in its early years. I started studying computer course/programming from 1988 to 1990. During those times, very few people knew about computers and only the privileged ones could operate them. However, years have passed and although I was always using computer from that day on I didn't have the opportunity to indulge myself in domaining nor did someone show or guide it to me as my job was more focused on another industry. I could have invested a lot of coveted ultra premium domain names at an infancy age yet fate has guided me to another direction. I've joined this tide too late. Well, anyway this domaining has just become a part time of mine, a hobby, a recreation to make life worthwhile... unless fate will change my direction again.

No. That's just hindsight.

There's an equal probability that your "patience" could last 50 years or more without getting a single offer.

...bitcoin will either be the goldmine people speak of or will morph into a cyber version of Beanie Babies once the scam runs its course and the bubble bursts. Time will tell...

 

[DomainVP]

The goldmine for BitCoin is now. Now is the time to cash out, especially if you are a BTC owner when they were $5. I't makes almost no sense for BitCoin to have close parity to Gold. 1 BTC = 1144 USD Gold is at $1,255 USD. It literally makes zero sense, it's a made up currency backed by nothing. I can foresee it doubling the price of gold, I don't think that is unreasonable in this current economic climate that makes little to no sense; but in the end it will crash and crash hard.

once had ecoairways.com ready to register.. I had to press enter and it was mine.. for wtv reason.. i decided not too.. not too long after it was registered and sold for 2000$ on sedo... ahhh the mind sometimes !! loll

 

[urlurl]

I would have second guessed that name too, not sure what the owner would use that name for... radio show on eco friendly products ??? small niche

 

[leftfielder]

It's tough to see someone with something you thought was yours forever. I would be sad about vajazz too. Can't say that without laughing LOL

I like godaddy for one reason, once an expiring domain is in your cart, it's taken off the market for 20 minutes.

Realistically, different scenarios can happen to the same domain and have a different outcome. If I owned Vajazzling, It would have never sold on flippa because I would hold onto it too long...Dying fad, dying opportunity.

I have a bad habit of selling domains one at a time. At a $17k pricetag, seems like the owner has the dough to market the hell out of it and make it legit.

 

[urlurl]

do you know what vajazzle is? try googling it, lol

 

[ProvenPro]

Don't live with regrets. Pejazzling.com is available right now. Get it, build a site, and sell it for $17,000. I'm sure there are plenty of dudes who would like to decorate their junk like a Christmas tree.

LOL Thank you for this laugh, I really needed that. But some Pejazzling would make my day as well!

I'm not sure but I think vajazzle related to pejazzle and you're supposed to put 'em together for some razzledazzle.
