I said decent, which may be a two word domain and not random words. And I was talking about games.info.
So you have games.info and try to develop it. BTW games.com is already developed. When is games.info going to cover at last $20k w/o considering all the money that could be spent in development hosting advertising etc.
I agree with homes.info, indeed is a great domain, as well as domains.info, but not technology.info, IMO tech.info would be the best choice.

 

[Federer]

if you read our listing, you will see why Technology (.) info is a valuable name.
People search for Technology more than 20,000,000 times each month.
Tech.info is not available/still belongs to the registry.

 

[-EM-]

In premium domains, searching volumei not considered. The main source traffic should be from typein traffic and not from SEO, that is why end users spend money in premium domains. Don't understand me wrong, I didn't say, it has no value, I said compared to the other domains you have mentioned here (including domains.info which is in your sig) technology is less valuable.
I didn't knew tech.info still belongs to the registry, but it can be considered as an advantage for you because end users can not choose between tech and technology.

Saw that Rock.org sold for only $3,250 on Flippa by Federer when it was purchased on NameJet for $4,999 earlier in June. Quite a loss on that one. Surprised it went for that low.

Edit: Oops just realized this was in the .info discussion forum. Sorry if off topic.

 

[Federer]

Yes we did take a small loss with Rock.org - but it's 1 very small rock in an ocean of domain sales.

We move a serious amount of inventory each month, 95% of which is (highly) profitable. We've have just moved close to $50K worth of .INFO names that were acquired for a fraction of the price.
Why waste time/energy pondering over the 5% setbacks. It happens, we move on. Our model is churning out constant sales each week and that's what counts. But most aren't able to look behind the scenes and see all the sales, so they focus on that one negative setback.

75% of domain investors are investing at a loss / not profitable - so I think we're doing OK.

Very true. It just makes me wonder if the Flippa marketplace is becoming diluted with too many domainers listing their domains on there now and not enough buyers to bid on them and get them into a nice profit margin.

 

[Federer]

Homes.info has just smashed the 5 figure barrier… 1 day left.

just my own opinion and your margins are certainly your biz


however, I see these sales as nothing more than a marketing strategy for the website these names are being auctioned on, and no so much about whether the names resell higher than acquisition costs.


the evidence of that premise, lies in the willingness to accept/risk a loss on the resell of any specific "premium domain name" by continuing to offer without reserve, in an effort to draw visitors, bidders and give impression that that site is "THE" place to list.

while it does propel you and the site in the limelight quite often, that model is quite contrary to the basic principles of domain profiteering.

how long you/them continue to offer without reserve... without increasing lateral profit centers like listing fee's, commissions, etc., will determine your ability to sustain that model.

however, a positive residual effect has been he increasing offer amounts for .info


Good Luck!

Huh? Currently, Flippa shows 351 domain listings. The good ones have strong bids.

Sorry about that, I mean't for .info domains becoming diluted on Flippa. Last time I checked there were so many really good .info domains on there at the same time: homes, domains, entertainment, lottery, technology, currency, jesus, wallstreet, asia, etc.

It made me wonder if having all of them on there at the same time is a good idea (in terms of getting the most bids and making the most profit) or would it be better to wait until there are a lack of them on there.

its mean .info has good value

Why would Federer be marketing for Flippa ? He is not an employee or stockholder. Not sure what you were getting at Don.

 

[Federer]

I have no professional affiliation with Flippa other than that of selling some of our premium names through their platform.
Fantastic domain names do not need a reserve price.

Your saw Games.info sell for $20,300. e-mail.net is our next one, now LIVE. Yes, at no reserve.

 

[Venga]

"Games" is universally meaningful by now... and .info probably has more significance in the European market than in the U.S. ... with some words .info makes sense and looks good.

I think you are missing the point completely it is purely a psychological strategy. The more bids there are on a domain name the more people show interest in the name increasing its perceived value. And as a result it often sells for more.

 

[Venga]

If I remember right, videogames.info went for $3K a number of years ago.

its a conspiracy mannnnn.

or jealousy... most likely jealousy.

 

[Federer]

e-mail (.) net has started well anyway. over 50 bids, at $1,000 already. Looking good.

not missing any point

as I fully understand the "psych" of perception, when there is a crowd.

not getting at anything


just stating an observation of how I see an aspect of the game being played.

imo...
