Hi Lambo

Thanks for the opportunity!

1. What is your STR for this small portfolio?
2. I'm assuming that majority of them are premium high-quality domains, what is your yearly revenue in dollars?
3. How much do you spend on acquisition currently?
4. The highest you paid for any domain to acquire it for reselling?
5. What is the best place or way to acquire premium high-quality domains at reasonable reseller price? Like an auction, private acquisition etc?


Regards

That's an inspiring number. Quality over quantity.
With all the marketplaces around(Afternic, Dan, Uni, sedo etc).. what is the best landing page option to produce more sales and inquiries IYO?

Hi Lambo,

Can you share your motivation to buy wywy? Any plans to develop it?

Hi Lambo,

I'm just speculating here but I'm guessing his decision probably has to do with ABAB.com rarity. It's the second rarest LLLL.com pattern outside of the AAAA.com (quad repeating). Also given that its quad premium CHIP as well it could have many, many pinyin meanings.

Such a name is extremely hard to find...and also even harder to replace if sold so it should command a high figure.

What are the advices for newbies and how we found and determine the value of the domain , and how to find potential buyers for the domain.

Hi Lambo,

First of all thanks for sharing this biggest sale, and congrats for that one!

I remember now seeing your post where you said you rejected an offer of $250k for this domain, but at that moment you didn't disclose the final price, so thanks for sharing the final price of this gem!

Very good negotiation by the way, I could not have rejected a $250k offer! But it's very clear that to reach the $500k, you have to previously reject lower but also tempting offers....

My question would be, on the sale of coinex, did you have a for sale page? or had a running website?
How did the buyer reach to you? and did you get to know who was the buyer before closing the deal?

Thanks in advance and congrats for this sale and for your latest ones, the buybuy and the almi ones!

Coinex was outbound effort by broker, and I did have a site up on coins there at the time

And as a bonus it has an impressive backlink profile and good DA/DR score...

The below might have something to do with it

Hi Lambo

Hello!

Thanks for the opportunity!

1. What is your STR for this small portfolio?

0-5 sales a year

2. I'm assuming that majority of them are premium high-quality domains, what is your yearly revenue in dollars?

most aren't actually but we evolve and things look better with time, especially in periods where reinvesting is possible.

3. How much do you spend on acquisition currently?

I'm OK paying up to $30-40k for single name generally but if extraordinary can go up. For these prices, stallions must be of phenomenal pedigree for the farm.

4. The highest you paid for any domain to acquire it for reselling?

I think $50k

5. What is the best place or way to acquire premium high-quality domains at reasonable reseller price? Like an auction, private acquisition etc?

Stealth acquisitions + work to find out what's around.

what is the best landing page option to produce more sales and inquiries IYO?

I find design of Uni and DAN to be of very high quality and both are proven with some love for users.

Congrats on the Big sale. What was your second biggest sale?

the recent almi and buybuy sales would be next I think

Hi Lambo,

Can you share your motivation to buy wywy? Any plans to develop it?

At this point, I'm motivated more like a high end watch collector. Perhaps I'll use it in some way like email or branding but I'm open minded. No plans to develop on it. My projects which are not ready (lol) -- may go on lesser names because I don't think I deserve to build on ultra quality yet.

I don't look at this stuff much these days. Last I did, majesticSEO and MOZ had resources for this (some of which they retired?) -- what are the best sites/ resources for this in 2020?

 

[NickB]

I use Ahrefs and Moz....

Also Neil Patel has loads of good free resources

I closed a ~$500k sale for coinex(dotcom), with M.O

Congratulations and thanks for sharing your sale with us. Great sale and a great name!

I suspect we will see a lot more sales which use a similar string... ‘Coin, Coins’.

Looking forward to see what it’s used for.

Awesome. I saw those sales.

It is a live site. Sale happened nore than 2 years back. Coinex even floated their Tokens (CET)

Coins were a lot hotter in the ICO boom

You sold LLLL.com; and reported sales NB;

But you didnt say the actual venue;
which makes a world of difference; even if sold the LLLL LLL.com

Lambo you sold almi.com for $117,500 and after week; sold buybuy.com for $95,000

i hate that Namebio lied about the venue;
So messed up, @Michael
Neither of them sold at ASZ.com;
Even if sold them; dont appreciate lie venue

Show attachment 167654

Would you be open to edit Fake News “ASZ” and actually say where listed them & sold?
This blatant lying, even for promotion, is wrong

Where did sell @lambo.com?

First of all, he is the one that reported the venue, not me. What I received was an Escrow.com screenshot, which is not a venue, so the only thing I could have possibly done is swapped it with "Private". That would be a pretty rude thing to do when he took the time to report it with proof, to not let him get any credit.

When you report a sale you are free to list the venue as yourself, even if it happened at Afternic or elsewhere. This is because a sale at a marketplace is a collaboration between them and you, and ultimately you're the seller. They aren't reporting anything, so if you want to take all the credit that's your business. It has always been like that since the beginning of NameBio, and no amount of complaining or name-calling on your part is going to change that. Period.

He put me in an unusual situation because the site he listed as the venue was not, like is normally the case, a portfolio site. I figured he was probably trying to market that LLL.com and get some attention for it. While I don't think that is going to be a very effective use of the venue field, if that's what he wants to do I don't really care to stop him. Anyone with half a brain will look at that and realize it was a private deal.

If he managed the sales by himself, I see it normal to report the sales with the name of his company, or like he wants to be identified for that sale.

In fact now I remember other NP members reporting sales made through Afternic but placing their main website name on the sale at Namebio.
I don't see too much problem here, if they are who report the sale, not Afternic or Uniregistry, for example.

This is the main point, and is spot on. If you report the sale, you control the narrative and you say what venue it happened at. It always has and always will be like that. For some people, that's the only reason they bother to report; the publicity. If we force them to say Afternic they're just going to stop reporting and you'll get less data, just for getting hung up on the venue.

Thank you for your honest answer.

Good luck Lambo;i’ll continue fight change this

Against NameBio!! yu grandfather claused
Better ways to encourage sharing is caring.

With you; i dont even doubt the sale;
act makes more sense y u chose ASZ instead
Six figure sale; you; Of course you’ll try get most exposure; i’l try harder to guilt Michael ; )

Be my guest, but you're wasting your breath. I'm not going to debate this any more either, just needed to respond since you won't stop obsessing over it.

What have you learnt from Rick Shwartz has he reached out to you? If you have been influenced it would likely strengthen his portfolio. He isn't offering lessons on domaining. When you have influence you can influence markets.
