How long to wait for end user.

[Umesh1]

Hello
guys


I am thinking today, that suppose i hand reg. domain name ABCDE.com, but when there is a possibility of some company or individual, want that domain, how long i have to wait for this.

As i have seen many experts say that, no body knows when the end user will come to you, it may be today, or they may come after years, or maybe not.
Anybody who is interested, in naming his company, will be come to you..

So its looks like there is very less chances that end user will come to us. so why we are booking brandable domains here.
So i am very confused here , in buying a domain name, no matter of it is brand able or keyword domain, how much i have to wait.


Plz suggest , what is the actual thing here i have to do.
and sorry for my bad english
thx

bcse right now its locked for 60 days. so only i can sell it in godaddy

No, no. You can sell it wherever you want. It's only locked from transferring out for 60 days. If you sell within that time frame, just push it in the buyer's Godaddy account.

I've waited as long as 15 years for a sale (some were long term holds with dev plans.)

If you can't sale the name in a year let it go. Many domainers waste money and time waiting for a buyer that will never come. Some names will never sale no matter how long your wait.

Tell that to @Mike Mann lol
Poor advice.
Evaluate each name on an individual basis when time comes
90% of my portfolio i would renew no problem

Yes, I thought the same thing too. "No interest within a year just drop it"
But looking back it is kinda bad advice because it depends.
I have names that I thought were pretty good but are crap and probably will be dropping.
On the other hand I have names that I feel are worth holding on to for a while as the industry has not yet taken off.
So it just depends if you have crap or not and that is all part of the learning curve imo.

For me, the waiting period depended on the quality of the domain name and my asking price for it. Unpopular names will neither sell quickly nor at a high price.

Domaining is very much like real estate, buying houses in good location areas is a much better investment i terms of selling quickly at a profit despite the higher investment amount required initially.

So it's not just me then! Some of my best sales over the last year have come from names I purchased 10-12 years ago, and just hung on to. I knew they were good and would sell eventually. I have let a small percentage of my portfolio go each year, and have regrets with a few (especially the ones that are now owned by Mike M)!

Two of my biggest sales took 10 years to find the right end users.

But, because they were "keyword" dot com names in an industry that I was very familiar with, I knew they were good names and would be valuable to the right company.

Hi @DavidH ,
Interested to know whether you sell your kw names via outbound or just wait for incoming offers? Thanks

All my higher value sales have been from incoming offers, via brokerage sites (eg Sedo, Godaddy) or by brokers contacting me direct.

I don't believe anyone can tell you how long you have to wait. It is like you said in your post, they may never come. Depending on your name and if you have possible end users for the name.
How long you want to pay the renewals for and wait it out depends on you.
You may have to try outbound but be careful of TM and you may not get as much for the name as you wanted.

If you hand reg ABCDE .COM and they can easily hand reg ABCDEF .COM they may go with the alternative because it is cheaper. Who knows?
Quality sells and that is proven.
Research is key.

I think this was quoted to me as mainly referring to made up brandables.
Picking the right combination of letters to form a winning name.
If it sells then you are a lucky winner.
