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

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

700+ at the moment.

Does domain name have an off season?

In my experience the summer season is the slowest...likely due to travel and money spent on that travel. My all time largest sale (sorry, cant disclose name but was low xx,xxx) was in the 'summer' season but that was unusual. Winter (year end) and Spring are usually the best.

I was blessed.
7 sales. 1988 X 5 sales and 2488 X 1 sales, 650 x 1.
Portfolio is around 2000 (3000 but rest 1000 are hand reg crap like .realty, .info, short .org and .net that i am dropping like dead flies)

Hoping for a better september, but I will accept whatever comes my way

July was Bad.. only 1 sale of 2988
June I had 9 sales (around 15K total), and it kinda cushioned my July as half of my June payments happened in July

Only one sale which is lease to own sale (60 months * 141€) for me in August. Portfolio size is 1100+

Luke warm .. 3 sales … but I had 0 in July .. so

Better than a normal August. The summer overall has been better than normal summers.

Unless you have a massive portfolio though, the sample size is too small to read much into sales (or lack of) over a short period of time.

Aug was slow but not really bad for me. Had 3 sales on hand-reg (registered less than a month ago).

Sep seems to have a nice starting with one sale on Sep 2. Fingers crossed!

August covered all my domain expenses for the year, but it was not an enduser. Sales to domainers.

 

[freety85]

not bad, expected worse due to summer 3 end user sales from a portfolio of 550. Bought around 50 new names as well

If you don't mind can you please share the details of your Hand-Reg Sales. Thanks.

bought 1 domain with high price, sold 0 domain

 

[Greek23]

Sold four names, nothing crazy, I recently upgraded my names a few months back (fast transfer just kicking in now, nice boost in exposure) also registered a bunch of names in Epik .co promo throughout July, they always say if you have the names in demand the end user(s) will find your names.

The worrisome thing for me is that still they haven't resumed as usual

Same like August last year. 31 days in a month.

August was a surprise for me. Had an inquiry out of blue and eventually agreed on a price, still in progress. Last year was my best year ever, sold a 4L .com domain name to a large corporation (mid 5 figures).

Everyone's portfolio is different, I only have about 100 names, so my goal has been to make at least one sale to cover my costs every year. With so few quality .com names available, I'm able to ask for 5 figures (USD) and get them.

Like most months: Two X,XXX sales on BrandBucket and one X,XXX sale on Afternic
Like every month: Zero sales on SquadHelp

Sounds like a lot of people had a slow August, I’ve had a dismal year all around. No sales, no offers and no inquiries. Patience is the name of the game; it can be discouraging some days. The battle in your head can get the best of you if you let it. Dig in and keep moving forward is what we are built to do.
