question How has been your September so far in sales?

[twiki]

Tomorrow is 20th, 10 days remaining from September (one third).

Been watching my sales and I'm not happy. Likely going to be in a small profit but that's not enough. It looks so far identical to August in sales.

I'm also always watching the reported sales thread. When I get lots of sales, there are lots of sales there too. Especially in the 4-fig area there's always a speed match. I can tell NP-ers are not selling that much these days - from what I see there.

How about you? How has been your September so far?

( Edit: my .coms are selling a little, but in other TLDs there has been a grinding halt to zero in the last 30 days. )

Quick question:

Were your sales mostly in single-word, non-COM's ?

Cause that's what tends to sell during this September.

Not quite.
Only 2 are single word. Rest are 2 words and one with number. All non dot coms

Not a bad name but keep it at xxx range so you sell it soon.

yes that's what I'm thinking too, 3 figures range, for now I'm just using 'make offer' option with dan landing page to measure the traffic. Starting calm & steady

It's been good September so far, I have 2 sales but both of them are Lease to own (60 months) for 15k€ and 10k€ and both are hand registered nGTLds and hold time less than 4 months.

What does hand registered mean?? Does that imply that there software registered domains?

Interesting stuff here. Is there some webinar or a video of someone teaching about domain flipping? Would appreciate it if anyone shares a link. Thx.

Hand Registered means Not bought from auction houses or aftermarket. They are available for registration where i can register it from any domain registrar with default registration price of that TLD.

Thanks,

Totaling around $14,000 from couple of domains. September has no difference for me.

Any Youtube video on domain flipping pls. Not a general video but a type of case study would be appreciated.

September 2021 is going to go down as a terrible bust. I've had four sales, where I normally do about 10-15 a month. This will be the worst month in years. I had thought August was slow, but it was twice what September is turning out to be, with two days left. Discouraging.

I'm trying to pinpoint what it is, and all I can come up with is the acceptance of other TLD's than Com as valid business domains. Other than for the absolute biggest of brands, I think there are many other TLD's that work just fine for companies, particularly tech companies who could go with ones such as ai, io, and xyz.

On top of that, individuals are creating substacks and the like, rather than creating their own blogs. Thus most will choose not to map a domain to it. Or some just have a Youtube channel too. The world is changing.

I price my names very reasonably, and am astonished at the prices most domainers think they can still get in this market.

Any examples of names you sold this year and average price? I am also trying to figure out something so i can make my portfolio recession proof

@slobizman all you said can explain some of the erosion from the .com (although some end up upgrading later on), but there's something else that is causing a major slowdown that seemed to come out of nowhere. Don't think it's a permanent situation at all.

Still $0 on my side

@blogspotter "Any examples of names you sold this year and average price? I am also trying to figure out something so i can make my portfolio recession proof"

Average sales price for 2021 is about $1,400. (Average purchase price about $58)

My names are all over the board. Here are 20 I grabbed from the middle of the year so far. Don't want to list them all:

I have noticed that. Small businesses rely on Facebook and IG. Facebook will eventually collapse I think. It's dating crypto scam 'app' is a real shame for a company like Facebook.
How can they allow thousands fake profiles to literally have party, scamming people..
No action at all.
Also many companies that ceased trading, still on Facebook.. That's bad because end users would think someone else uses the name they want to buy.
No sales in September, but small portfolio, 120 decent names reasonably priced.

Been following this thread through the month. Now that there is some closure, here are my two cents.

Good:
-Sold KW+Health/com name for $2k. Closeout purchase ~30 days ago. First ever name sold thru GD broker enquiry
- Sold hopis/co $499, fan/spot/co $299 both Afternic
- Moved 700 .co names to Efty; already received 1 offer in 7 days there. Same names on DAN lander for ages with no action (hypothesis: I want more people to start conversation with me. DAN makes it difficult by asking too much info up front)

Not so good:
- Efty offer is yet to convert; despite reminders
- Barren spell at SH / BB continues. 400 names in total across the two. Only sold 2 in total over 2021.
- Afternic has been really slow last 2-3 months, wondering if it is some setting / exposure related issue

Thanks!
