[mAd MaX]

Hi All,

What's your highest sale figure for a Handreg domain?

Thanks

Short dictionary ccTLD. Private sale so can't disclose the name. They just forward it to their 2 word .com and bought it for an advertising campaign they were running.

can you at least say which TLD it was?

:D

$1200, hand-reg by me in 2003, short .net brandable domain

Sure. It's a .de. I like the .de namespace although I only hold a handful these days.

No doubt. Isn't DE one of if not the top ccTLD?

Glad someone started this thread, but I have nothing personally that can compare to the many impressive sales with short hold time already listed.

Re whether 16 counts, personally I don't regard it as a hand reg if it was held more than a few years, but I know that technically if you have held it from the beginning it is a hand reg.

Hopefully @Avtar629 will post since his $25k recent sale of CoinMENA strikes me as one of the more impressive hand reg flips, especially considering it was without marketplace commission.

Yes it is definitely one of the better ccTLDs. More competition also.

I wouldn't advise anyone to pivot heavily into ccTLDs untill you understand the market. Speaking the language also helps.

Regarding @Bob Hawkes addition. I think I agree. Hand regging stuff like 20 years ago was an entire different game. Not easier, no harder. You just can't really compare the two.

Coinmena was a cool sale. I actually looked into this 'niche' some time ago but found that every good name was already taken ( I was probably wrong and am sure more names will sell in the future). Again, it's a niche where being familiar with the Mena region would definitely give you an advantage. Like, we would probably prefer menacoin whereas coinmena is a better fit if you operate in that region.

Anyway, it's good to see people making good money on handregs! Don't ever let oldtimers discourage you but search for and seize opportunity where you find it. If you're new to the game, read read read and when you're done... continue reading .

3K. zero estibot.
I think I also have a few 5 figure estibot handregs but this doesn't mean I will renew them. I dropped a high-4 estibot cctld domain and noone bought it so far. Maybe I will, again.
...
If time gap allowed (multi year renewal) then my answer would be in 45K-50K range.
...
I must say that such sales required luck. I mean, normally such things are not supposed to happen. If you buy many sellable domains, then this should be a more routine business with regular sales, but this is not the case. Domaining is a bumpy road. You can invest only in liquid names, and the result will be the same. (for me at least)

OK, now I'm curious - these handregs, dropped names, play on word, or something you thought of?

Thought of, Little brainstorming & you might get some decent names, in my case was brandable.

If not talking about drops, mid 3 figures for a few nondrop 2word .infos. Also my first two .coms were like this and after I dropped them, they were bought by buydomains, hugedomains etc. One of them has about 7K estibot, the other has has 2K estibot. So when I was totally naive in domaining I made good choices in .com, but didn't play that game for a very long time: big mistake , maybe.
