discuss How was your August?

[DuDD]

How was your trading volume in the past August?
How many domain names did you sell/buy in the past August

In August, we promoted a lot of domain names, also received a lot of domain name transactions, hope to close in September .It is worth mentioning that they are all end users transactions

How about you ?
Best wishes

Hi - what are the good sales months and the bad ?

I would say, August and December. Vacation months.

Though sometimes before Dec 31 they buy some.

Sales were same as most months... zero (sell maybe 3/4 names a year on an 70ish name portfolio so I can't complain) but the main thing I've noticed is that buying is becoming harder and harder. I used to buy in the 12 to 50 buck range then had to move up to the 70 to 250 range and now with my limited time it almost impossible to find anything worth having for those prices. I need to either invest more time or more money.

Competition is ever increasing. That I have seen for a couple years already.

Also DC auction end pricing going up and up to the point where it doesn't worth anymore in many cases.

Eventually this will price out many from the market, at least for a while.

DC and especially godaddy expired prices have gotten ridiculous. I see people buy random 4ls for $1000+
Very suspicious and I don't know why anyone bids there. Stopped looking at those.

Slow month and slow summer for me -- just two small sales in August.

 

[DuDD]

Zilch. I've been inactive for a while, doing other stuff. Plus, I had Covid (sucked)

sorry to hear that
I hope you are well in future

You had a fantastic month ,with two five figure sales. What is your portfolio size if you like to disclose? Also avarage acquisition cost ?

 

[DuDD]

I am not worrying about sales unless i get decent starting offers and am slowing down and don't care. Better off all over when more people are cashed up. Right now registrations are up but people are low balling it is frustrating so i put their entire offer into a renewal moments later. Eg offer 100 i just add 5 years. August was crap fought with hackers last month almost full time.

• Hope in the following days, we are all well, domain name big sale
  

 

[DuDD]

August had no sales but lots of inquiries with super-low ball offers...likely broker or resellers. Looking forward to the fall selling season.

Does domain name have an off season?

 

[DuDD]

August was above average for me

wow
congrats
hope it is getting better

August 2021 was my worst month since I really started focus on domaining, back in 2014. However, I think it's "natural":

1. My portfolio has been downsized by about 50% the last two years, but I 'm now actively investing in new names again.

2. I've increased prices on many names. I don't focus at selling to domainers anymore.

3. August is still a vacation month for many around the world. The virus probably has some impact as well?!

Domain name end-result is endusers,
Eedusers sale can highlight the value of domain name

200+ names. Zero sales. About 7 low-ball offers for August.

Try something else
