[Maxleron]

Is it possible to buy a hand registered new age domain at a cheap price and sell it the next day for tens of thousands of dollars?

Funny you would ask that question Max....I just hand reg'd a domain that I posted at "Your Reg of the Day":

HalfBull(.)com

My critics here on NP will tell you that I'm "Full of Bull", but they're just "half" right. Since registering it, I discovered from a Google search there's a Half-Bull Half Man character in Greek Mythology seen here;
https://www.greekmyths-greekmythology.com/myth-of-theseus-and-minotaur/. There are also dozens of artistic renderings of a "Half-Bull Half Man" creature on the internet. I wasn't thinking of any of this when I registered the name. In addition, it appears the name has been registered before, and every time someone drops it, someone else picks it up. I just bought it from GD for 8.49. I've already had some feedback from a well respected NP member who said, "I actually like the domain name HalfBull.com a lot"..... enough to pay 10K for it?.....LOL!...i think not

Finally, GD says this about the name; Valuable keyword: half is a high value keyword that has an average sale price of $5512; Memorable: halfbull.com is easy to remember; Great extension: Uses the .com extension.

The point of all this is, if you're just half full of bull, with a little luck, anything can happen

You should've researched prior to registering. Why?
Because all the information that you acquire following the registration will end up being used to justify spending money on that domain.
It's a half good domain.

Bah... generally speaking, domaining is more like a marathon than a sprint race

Cheers anything is possible in domaining but such hand regs requires money to or serious time to catch them.

Yeah. Btm.com and 88567.com do not qualify

 

[Maxleron]

Please I need a reasonable answers with explanation..

 

[johnn]

Your question makes no sense and no one would have the answer for you.

 

[johnn]

A high quality domain with a lot of demand and no one register.

It does not sound right to me.

 

[alcy]

if domaining was this easy, weed all be ritch.

 

[alcy]

For the people who say there is no money in hand registered and make fun of the topic hope to learn from this video

if u keep domaining for while u will learn there is nothing quick and easy about it..which i think was your question here

and peoples answers to it.

I’m a newbie so I’m not allowed to post links but if you use the handy search tab at the top and type in hand reg and filter by posts from the last month you will find quite a few hand regs that were reportedly sold for a decent profit in a short amount of time.

I don’t think any of them were tens of thousands of dollars and most I looked through were outbounds.

The closest example I can think of is covfefe dot com where the owner supposedly turned down a 15k offer. But that had more to do with striking while the iron was hot, being the fastest to the draw, and paying attention to the news than solely dumb luck.

 

[urljunky]

If I had a high quality domain and nobody register it before and there is a demand on this domain why not selling it the next day at marketplace with the price that reflect it's real value ?

The problem is it's real value would be $8.99.

 

[hookbox]

Anything is possible but be more realistic with your expectations. Can you register and sell it for $10,000? Never! For $1,000? Absolutely!

 

[Sumeeth]

Anything can be possible if buyer thinks he must have that domain and no alternate domain available for his company and can go to any extent in terms of price to get it!

Many domains are there which cannot sell for 10$ by us , the same can be sold by other seller for few thousands of dollars.. It all depends on timing, right client, negotiation, patience and offcourse the domain should be great from buyer point of view!

 

[Sumeeth]

Agree with the sentiment. However the OP wants all this to take place within 24hrs after registration. with no plan of action on how he is going to achieve that.

Haha . Next day, probabilities is damn low and there is no such formula that if you apply that the sale will happen in so and so days!

Impossibility is based on individual.

Yes it is possible.

If and only if you can make it so.

 

[anantj]

Ive just sold my one hand reg .biz for 800 euro

.biz Ok? not com..

One day after registration? Proof?

 

[korganian]

Your question is kind of like asking if you could be struck by lightning. The answer is yes to both questions and the probabilities are similar that they will happen to you.

Is it possible to buy a hand registered new age domain at a cheap price and sell it the next day for tens of thousands of dollars?

The simple answer is a big NO. Because all new age important names have been tagged with Premium price, so you will not be getting them at normal registration fee. There may be a few names left, if you are so lucky to register them, yes it is possible you may get some extra profit but certainly not in tens of thousands of dollars. Domain business is not a casino plaza, please note.

Very interesting

Many say domaining is a craft, an art, a technique, a crap shoot, long hard training from years in the trenches, unpredictably predictable, being at the right place at the right time, the luck of the draw, amorphous, etc., etc. BUT also it is creative and visionary. New ideas can come at any time. New terms and trends in an industry -- i,e, the CRYPTO names were hand registered first. If you think of something that no one else has thought of -- YET -- then your hand-registered idea is worth something. A lot. Every name at one point was new. Belief systems lodged in "all the valuable names have already registered" and a hand registered name has to be aged like wine (or developed) don't belong in a dynamic, entrepreneurial industry.

 

[ddfenton]

Oops - I didn't realize the question was "flip it the next day." Wouldn't it be dreaming to flip any domain name the next day for thousands more? It's not the hand registered element, it's the idea that a new purchase/investment at (any cost or market value) can be tripled (or whatever) in a day.

I have done so twice
but it took a few weeks instead of next day
and it was 10K €

Hand regging and waiting 1 day for a 5-digit sale is like fishing for blue fin tuna, from the shore, while using bait for sardines. Could happen theoretically, you just have to wait for ONE specific blue fin tuna to develop an appetite for sardine bait. Not gonna happen in 24hrs though, but a 0.000001% possibility is still a possibility. No one predicted evolution and almost no one can predict all upcoming market trends

Btw this is coming from someone who has ~25 domains in his portfolio, all proudly hand regged, and 0 sales till now. Am I going to renew all my regs next year? Most certainly NO. Been in this business for less than 1 month, started with 4 hand regs and thought I'd easily sell before buying more but you just can't help it sometimes. Now I know what my expectations are, mostly thanks to NP members guidance.

Tip: all single dictionary words are taken and you need experience and tons of research to find good 2 keyword domains that go well together AND MIGHT have demand in the next couple of years or so. Yes, YEARS. Go for brandables if you're still determined to hand reg. You never know when the term that you've come up becomes trendy in one way or another. Just don't go nuts hand regging every term you think might sound nice to your ears, you'll end up with ~1000 hand regs in your first year and then renewals arrive.. Remember 1000 hand regs are ~$9000 for the first year and the cost doubles for renewals. Already seen an example on here.

Now back to the fishing example, whatever bait you're using, don't stay on shore. Get on your boat and sail to the middle of the sea (outbound sales).

*that was a loooong post, I'm sorry!*

LOL, you really think his can happen ?

 

[Maxleron]

Okay @Maxleron - up until the time you registered the new domain, anybody could have registered it for $10 (let's say). So how are you going to find someone to buy your new domain for $10,000 the very next day?

If I had a high quality domain and nobody register it before and there is a demand on this domain why not selling it the next day at marketplace with the price that reflect it's real value ?
