If he's smart this will be a mistake he will never again repeat. There is a quote that says something like: "Smart people learn from their own mistakes, brilliant people learn from others mistakes."Well dont you think others had the same idea?
Do you think domaining is go out and buy 200 names for 7$ a piece and sell them with profit within 12 months?
I would suggest you delve into the wealth of written testimony of other peoples experiences before getting your wallet out. There is like 10 threads a month like yours.. Usually people are persuaded to read a little more before blasting money out in the void. Seems like you ignored that advice when @Silentptnr gave it to you.
As he said, you will pay renewal on 200 names instead of 1. Further; instead of spending your time trying to transform a single 3 figure purchase into a 4 figure sale. You will spend your time trying to transform many many single figure purchases into two figure sales. You think having more time to promote a name is better or worse? Do you think you will have more time per name or less time if you buy 200 low quality names instead of 1 high quality?
What do you think will create more profit for you?
In short.. No I am not wrong.. Been here doing this sh*t for longer than you have been outside diapers. But today knowledge and experience is not worth much. I understand you already learned what you needed and now you are the bomb. Go explode then
At least he has a plan he is executing and that is worth more than this few hundered bucks he invested! For that I give @DzAH
- good luck!Thanks !
PS. I know you were looking into domain generators. Looks like you found one!
Not really. What Im generating is from my own program.
It has 10 "slots", and every slot can be a single character, or multiple char. (words/extenctios etc.) or whole lists of characters/words etc.
So it can take in a huge amount of data in, and will generate a list with every possible combinations. What I would use days to archive manually it can do in like 1 sec (like 20 000 combinations)
Now the reason I made the thread was to see if such a service already exist, and how advanced they are. If its doesnt (or are just very simple) Im pondering if I might provide such a service.

What is the problem? Having it all on a marketplace? (like its better to have a single landing page and not expose buyer to multiple similar choices
) or the domains itself? or the combination?Now what if next phase is adding pronounceable 4L, would that change anything?

Depends on your goals.What is the problem? Having it all on a marketplace? (like its better to have a single landing page and not expose buyer to multiple similar choices
Now what if next phase is adding pronounceable 4L, would that change anything?
Some are, but far from all, and honestly I dont think I will search drops anymore, cuz its really hard to find something great left. People are using drop catch on many of my wanted domains, so.. waste of time and effort.
Lately I have only searched through huge amounts of generated lists and bulk searching. These I found and registered:

Quality > quantity.
You could have bought just a few good domains with the same money, and you could afford to wait for the right offer because you know the renewal fees are not going to burn a hole in your pocket.
It's very likely that you bought a bunch of liabilities instead.
And what you paid is promo price for the initial year normally. The registrar is selling below actual cost. Expect a price hike by next year unless you are willing to try a transfer somewhere else.
I can tell you one thing: if a domain is available to be register for $10, it's not likely somebody else will step in later and want to buy it from you for more. It can happen, but it's not the norm especially with unusable names like random 5L that are not brandable, have no practical purpose or obvious abbreviations.
Oh I know the famous tune: "I just need to sell one domain for a big sum...", but in real life it just doesn't happen, that's why the majority of domainers are losing money.
The fact that you are looking for the absolute cheapest pricing makes me think your business doesn't have adequate funding. Again, think about what you will pay next year and consider the very likely possibility of no sales.
Good luck anyway and come back to give feedback in one year

No matter what.. however you approach domaining.. you obviously need both. If there actually is an formula/equation it is rather "quality * quantity", not "quality > quantity".
Now, I personally, based on multiple reasons, made a conscious decision to register more of less quality rather then a few of high quality. Actually, because of who I am, what Im trying to do, and where I stand, it was kinda the only thing that made sense at this time. That does not however exclude me to go for much higher quality later though.. that's a very natural and possible "next step", maybe half a year / year from now.
Are you saying the domains I registered are random 5L, not brandable etc. ?
If thats your opinion I think we fundamentally disagree. When I registering its surely not randomly. I only registering those I see potentially brandable, so (in general) their practical purpose is therefor pretty obvious.
My approach is not to sit and wait and wait for one buyer who is willing to buy one of these domains for a stupid amount of money. My intention is to price the domains fairly and create solutions and value for end users / market.
Good luck anyway and come back to give feedback in one year
Thanks!
