How much do you think could reach a today hand-reg domain??

[maxt0r]

Most domains are taken, but some 1-2 word domains are still free out there.
Do you believe there are still some gems waiting for us?


How much do you think could reach a today hand-reg domain?? (any examples?)

 

[scooby47]

Not alot to say other than ..indeed there are

I regged one in about January and sold it for $240 about 4-5 months later.

Maxt0r,

Without a doubt. I register dropped names that expired practically on a daily basis, and sell them frequently. A few in the x,xxx range. However, it takes time and understanding to find the gems and the patience to find or wait for the right buyer. It also takes an indepth understanding of what makes a domain valueable, which comes over time.

It depends on the quality of the name. Like, OVT score for the terms in the domain, CPC for the terms in the domain, readability, memorability, extension, previous sales of the keywords that your domain has, number of google pages, TM free, Blacklist Clearance...etc.

I successfully sold domains for good profits within one year of their registrations.

 

[gubera]

I hand registered a couple of names recently and hope to sell them for a profit.
It's a lot easier to find good cheap dropped names though.

 

[DotWeekly]

I hand reg a good 5-10 per day. You just have to know where to look, certain times of the day etc.

Here are a couple that I picked up the past couple of days.

I recently sold CarZaar.com a month after hand regging it...but frankly, I've found very few good .coms available...there are a lot of them in other extensions (especially .mobi and .tv), but .coms have all been taken. There are a few dictionary one word .orgs, but they're hard to sell to a commercial buyer, even harder to sell on forums like this one

 

[gubera]

Those are really good Jamie! The only one that I hand regged recently and think is fairly decent is:

spendingproblem .com

It is very possible to make a nice chunk of change from hand-regged domains. In a lot of cases the unregistered domains are better-looking than names selling for 4-figures in the .com extension. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and it only takes one prospective buyer (or preferrably, two).

Click on the link in my signature for some good ones that are just sitting out there...waiting...

Too date, most (if not all) of my sales have been from hand reg domains. I've sold into the low $x,xxx range. Most of those are ones that expired, a few a I just really lucky to get.

For the first time since I've started domaining, I'm now buying domains higher than reg fee

Obviously you're not going to be able to hand register any premium domains these days but there are definitely still opportunities to register good names. I hand register quite a few. About 6 months ago I hand registered 2 names and sold them a few months later for $500 & $300. They're not all going to be a success story but if you can study the industry and try and learn what today's (or even better, tomorrow's) market is after you will greatly increse your chances of being profitable.

Wish you many successful & profitable registrations in the years to come!

 

[randomo]

I'm so busy finding and catching good dropping domains (at non-premium prices), I seldom think of new regs any more!

 

[000]

I've done alright at flipping regs for some quick profit. I browse recently-expired lists and I've had sales at $600, $500, $500, $400, $200, $200, etc in the past year just off those regs. Takes a lot of time, patience, a good eye, and a lot of perseverance, but it's certainly possible to make some money this way. Great for start-up domainers who have a good sense of domain value, due to the small amount of money required.

 

[Coastalguy]

Just regged ExperimentalMedication.com.

Like most of my other hand regs, this one has potential if I can find the right end-user out there.

Its topical, so...I'm hoping.

95% of my sales come from hand regs but most are for mediocre profits.

patient is the key.

 

[xman]

Most of the time I've been buying domains in TDNam but once in a while I will hand regs. domains that I think could have potential in the future or good for development. These are my recent hand regs.

where do you guys usually look for expiring names? ( i use domain tools but i am fairly new to domaining.) do you wait until it actually expires or do you place it on backorder? thanks, sam
