domain I bought 60 domain names come & check that!!! (.com .net .org) - ArtOfLux.com

[robinnx]

so the story is that a few days ago I wanted to sell I a domain (1), which I stopped using. but somehow I ended up buying another 60 domains, built a website, and started looking for buyers.
I would love to hear your thoughts about what you may find valuable in this list. how much can it can be sold and for whom.

and what you think about my domain name: DomainsABC.com

did anyone recover?
it's really fun, and it doesn't feel like I'm stopping anytime soon. I might stop when I lose all the money or when I make all the money .
the best part is that I'm getting better and better every day. money comes to go. but one has to start somewhere.

and thank you again for your reply last on my CtrlBoard.com domain it was inspiring somehow.

If you have money to burn, then by all means make all the mistakes you need to make to learn. We've all been there in some fashion. Though take heed, patience is key, better to have a few good quality names that you research, rather than 60 names ($600 reg fees) that will likely need to be dropped. Find your niche, though to start .coms are a good beginning. Of the group above, you may be able to submit the name ziphian to one of the brandable sites, BB, SH, BP. Otherwise none of the names really stand out.

BoomGun would probably pop a little.

Boomgun, there are trademark issues, there's already a product using that name:
BOOMGUN™ : AIR GUN DRAIN BLASTER, and a game Gods of Boom previously known as "Guns of Boom" an online multiplayer first-person shooter video game for mobile devices.

Yeah. I don't think these would apply to his name. In fact you may be getting way, way ahead here.

Hi,

You must have spent around $625 as registration cost if they are all handregs. I don't mean to discourage you, but I must say, it will be very unlikely for you to regain what you've paid by selling this. As a new member, I think you should do some research before buying any more. Just check out some previous auctions here and find out what kind of names everyone want. Stick to .com only for a while. I guess most of us started like this.

Regards
Anees Ahmad

I don't believe I am no. One needs to be mindful of these things, depending on a variety of factors, reseller, end user. A name with 'boom' and 'gun' in it could only go in so many directions (gunboom has broader applications whereas boomgun relates more to a specific product) But it's up to the OP to decide as they had asked, if you like the name I'm sure the OP would be happy to sell it to you. But it's a reg fee name at best, and I'd drop it if I were them.

Counterpoint, if you would have spent maybe $100 each on 5-6 names from auctions etc, where you've seen demand from other investors for them, it would only cost you $50 a year to maintain the portfolio instead of having to spend another $600 (or whatever your reg costs ended up being, maybe a bit less) every single year to maintain a portfolio of names that are much less likely to sell.

There's this trap people fall into where so many names you've searched for were taken already, then when you find something that's even remotely a word, it's like "Nice!" But that's not the way to go. Look at most of those names, ask yourself "What is this?" and "What company would pay for this to be their name?" I think you'll see most of them are total long shots, lotto tickets at best, except you have to pay $10 each year to keep scratching them. With a smaller quantity, of better names, not only does your portfolio have more of an inherent value (If you buy a name here at wholesale, there's a good chance you can sell it for roughly the same amount, give or take), whereas you'd have a hell of a time trying to sell most of those names here for $1-$5, let alone for your registration cost, let alone a few years from now when they're still sitting and you've poured more money into renewing them.

Find some people who are experienced here on nP, follow them, look at the names they decide to bid on in the auctions here, and use that as a starting point. You may end up paying a little extra above wholesale, but at least the names have been vetted instead of the opposite. Anything avail to handreg has been reverse-vetted, in the sense that literally nobody has ever bought it and kept it (By definition, otherwise it wouldn't have been avail.)

Or even just following @Riz M. and scooping up some of the recently-registered names they flip for $18-$20 here would have you miles ahead tbh. That one single tier of vetting probably puts you miles ahead as a beginner vs. trying to choose your own from scratch. Maybe sign up for the list at CatchService.com (no affiliation) and look at the types of names they're selling for $20, compare it to the ones you've registered, and decide if you think 2 of yours are worth more or less than 1 of theirs. I think if we were to track sales from Riz's regs vs the average name that new members here buy, it's probably a pretty solid strategy.

When you are new and still figuring things out, I think you're a lot better off sticking to names that have other people bidding/interested in them, rather than names that no domainer has ever purchased and decided to keep in their portfolio during the entire history of the internet, y'know?

Having said that - you seem open to feedback and that's a huge advantage, good mentality. I see a lot of folks trying to argue when they find out their names are not quite what they had in mind. You'll do great .

Some are really close. SpyBase.com would be a lot better than SpyBass.com, for example. BioMeds would be a gem, but what are BioMuds? TheGrill.com would be top tier, but I've never seen a restaurant use .org. BikeTour.com would be top-tier, BikeTor, not so much.

Depending on how recently you registered these, you can get a refund on most of the cost, and that would be my biggest piece of advice for the time being. You've clearly put some work into your site which is a big plus since domainers are kinda notorious for having pretty brutally designed sites (sorry guys), you're a go-getter, you just need to get a LOT more disciplined in what you're buying.

Take my advice with a grain of salt, I don't do this full time, I don't earn a living from buying and selling domain names.

Care to share the thought process that went into choosing some of these? That may enable people to help correct your line of thinking.

Never said I liked it. Just that it had pop.

You mentioned pop in your post that you --------- out.

 

[srimaha]

Logo Generator.Net definitely a Good value domain. Also Go models.net. Good luck.

 

[Super Software]

This is why the registrars rake in the moolah even now (despite coupons or below cost appearance)....the beauty of a lease hold model and the fact that ".....there is a sucker born every minute...." as we say.

Sad but true....

 

[The Durfer]

i agree with the quality 5-6 domains, but since we arent there and we are at 600 domains, put them on a parking platform and see which ones are the better performers and then pick those to renew or sell. tadah. If you find 10 of them and they sell for $600 or more youve done it anyway. see?

hello Sir. BIG RESPECT. You marked the greatest review I ever got in my history of the internet as well as any other business advice I ever got, not because you told me stuff I don't know. but the fact that you rarely find someone who would take the effort to write a detailed response. you really nailed it. really grateful for the time you took to reviews my uncalculated purchases.

and thank you again for trying to help correct my navigation.
the thought process concerning choosing these domains is sometimes a bit complicated to explain specifically for the amount of subjectivity involved. for example, many times I just naively liked how the name sounds to me such ArtVox.com, deeleo.com, cryptologistics.net, citytool.net, seasider.net, extrapage.net, CryptoFlair.net, drugplaza.net, archivia.org, Ziphian.com
(drugplaza.net sounded dangerous I loved it from the first sight )

herogo.com sounded cool and was on sale for $1950, so I bought herogo.net hoping to sell it for a fraction of the price (at $150 actually)

sometimes I made the decision based on my personal research on the name. the example of this was citycab.org. there were plenty of cab companies everywhere around the world using the name "CityCab" with different regional TLD (es, dk, ma, it, jp, gr....) and the .com TLD was being sold for $32,500.00. so I told myself that maybe citycab.org can hold some water.

and also choose jellow.net because it was a highly admired word then found out that there is a dutch startup with the same name and they were using different regional TLD for each of their dutch website and another regional TLD for Belgium website. the startup has the potential to scale internationally but the .com was at the cost of $ 19,667.00, so I thought that they might be interested in buying a cheaper established .net for the meanwhile. only for a few hundred bucks. so I contact them this morning and still waiting for an answer.

I bought niter.org, knek.net, 24by7.net, tf0.net, mapof.net, LostMix.com... because they were short names

typeit.net, PhotoLite.net, logogenerator.net I thought maybe they can be sold easily because they fit as software names. and in fact, I contacted an online design platform (SaaS) and they are interested in acquiring LogoGenerator.net. I'm still wondering about how much I should ask for it.?

bought Gomodels.net because most of the known TLDs were taken, and .com version had a lot of traffic and many bids on Sedo. so I thought that it won't hurt if I also get the last one.

boncuir.com I don't know why I got !!! maybe because it was is a french word GoodLeather.com in English. (i like leather) :D

For trustbuy.org. it just sounded very credible combination for an online reviews website., (now I think it sounds weird)

and the list goes on and on.............
thank you for taking the time to read this very long reply

Come on man! stick .com, especially start

hey thanks, I understand that .com is more safe and valuable but it was very hard to find a meaningful .com domain name. but now after I listen to your valuable advices here on this post I'm more careful in my choices

what parking platforms you would suggest?
