discuss Is it impossible to handreg a million dollar name?

[mAd MaX]

All domains are handreged but is it impossible to handreg a million dollar name post 2010?

 

[Fancy.domains]

I think the question is similar to this question:

“Is it possible to becoming a millionaire from panning for gold”

The answer for the both questions should be:

“It’s highly unlikely. Almost impossible. But you have a small, small, small chance if you’re a smart and hard working talent with extreme luck”

luck in domaining was in 1997 area where rick and others register them ,, now you must be creative but to find domain that worth millions its far away from easy its fact but, who make this in 2019 he much more smarter then rick and all the others, if somebody think that only one word worth millions he dont understand this game why privatejet sold for xx million nad jets.com sold 300k, its not the only one , i know someone that hold 2 words domains and he sold them more then 1m , who think the game is only for one word domain so he better exit now, everything is already in other hands,

exitxxx.com sound so killer yet no body register this name wierd

The very first time it any name was registered was by hand so it has been already done before whether that is impossible in 2019 could be debated. If someone picks it up on drop or expired it is same thing if can be resold for a million. People have gone on vacation and will keep forgetting making all sorts of mistakes.

It is impossible but almost possible.. eg: 2 words dot com owner could see value in in same word + gtld if tld is their second word. Then again you did say million....

someone told me alot huge deals made but no go to public

I've been around this domaining thingy way longer than I care to admit...I was in it before the big bubble burst nearly two decades ago.

Fortunately, I had a few decent sales back then and there have been sales beginning at 500 on up since then. Not one has ever been reported or made public by me or any of my buyers.

In the domaining sea I am a small fish and many of the big guys keeps their sale info quiet as well.

 

[DT13]

No, already did that a while ago! Just have to sell them

privatesatellites.com

Nasa ore SpaceX will buy it. (; whaiting for mainstream adoption. Haha

at last someone say the truth,,, i meet somebody over net he is not like you, he started after as we say its dead game and did it to big numbers and he told me not one sell he did ever reported, he told me he sold domain in the porn industry to some big company for future project, its never reported ,,mind geek

H*ll yes it's possible, and this is NO BULLONEY! 100% of my domains are hand regged, and 80% of those have a business plan/model backing them up. I've named, started and operated several businesses years ago that are still in business today generating millions of dollars in revenues annually. If you care to know who they are and what they do, I'll be glad to share names with you. So I'll give you an example of a domain that I hand regg'd that has the real potential to be a million dollar domain....LaughInns....now don't laugh, but if you don't understand the idea and concept behind this name, you shouldn't be in business for yourself. Thanks for starting this thread MadMax

Even with any sort of big number possibility it is all down to how the negotiation is handled. Does every million dollar domain potential even have a million dollar price tag on it today? Some sales also paid way more than they should have. There is so much to it besides choosing great names.

i new to this biz but move very fast, and i asked this guy how to price domain??
he told me its very hard becuase there is no logic from what reported buy if we think with logic the prices should go only up because less and less you have.com , he told me domainers need to price higher.com yet they sold them very low and he talk about very good names,,,he told me what really happen someone smart buy them then sold them for huge profits,, he told me when you have quality domain and you price it low you kill the name, its like to sell mercedes for low, it will kill the brand,

he told me that someone was one of his domains in the diamond industry from dubai so he told him 7m dollar , the buyer told him but i can buy one word for less, in the end he say take 5m, but he didnt want

he told me that you see what the problem one word domain that express something like cars and jets and so on not like where.com which no so good and so on,,, they need to price it high, they so fucking hurt this biz he told me this guy from dubai will come back i know this, he told me how the hell someone sell jets.com for 300k , its like to sell bugatti for 50k, but in the end the smart guy hold the price maybe 300k will make less what they ask,

I have to try it for fun....... I hand reg $1 for StreamingNYC.com , now put up for 1,000,000 GBP - Buy Now.

If you have a multi million dollar business model behind behind StreamingNYC it very well could be worth a million dollars. I own SavorManhattan.com that has the potential to be a million dollar domain...seriously

Just because something is possible does not mean it is probable. Whoever can market their names the best wins . . . imo. Not for a million bucks though.

far away from easy its for sure

 

[otismo]

The new extensions will have a few million dollar names.

I plan on developing Fav.Uno myself

BUT

if I got an offer over seven figures...

I think it comes down to research of course you still can ,if not you can at least buy one for a few hundred or thousand now that may be worth a million in the future. No one knew what cbd was 5 years ago I'm you could have bought that for 2 k in 2003 I heard it sold for 500k and I think that's cheap,you basically own the market with that name, someone will pay 2 million for it,if an end user did not buy it already. Also I hand regged a domain I sold for almost 5k 5 years ago ,no one bought it or backordered it ,the buyer never renewed it.So anything can slip buy,Getting back to research ,if you put in the time looking for the next best thing. two worders are the things to look for that would define a category. Frank shilling did this and he now owns the most 2 worders that own the markets more than anyone. Smart Guy ,looks ahead.

Just today in fact I just hand regged a domain that alpnames defaulted on that went into redemption that I could not renew ,when it went to moniker.com they tried to shake me down for 160 bucks ,but said they would take 100, 2 days later they said it was too late. now pending delete, icann is a scam they did nothing to help ,3 other domains I wanted that I dident want to pay 100 bucks for got back ordered at name jet ,alpnames defaulted and icann dropped the ball, verisign was no help either ,they are they as bad ,they ignored icanns request to suspend deletions of domains. This is horrible for the industry. If this was a million dollar domain it may have happed the same. The domain industry lost a lot of clout . Never in the history of finance has a commodity contract on any exchange has ever been defaulted on there was a commission that would step up to make sure the contract was fulfilled and a clearing house would back that trade.
This default just made history,some people lost some good domains,alp names was pretty small they only had about 300-400k domains so that's why icann and verisgn did hardly anything. In fact the money balance I had in the account at alpnames is gone too and no one knows anything about it ,icann suggested I hire a lawyer. So icann accredited mean squat, hopefully they next time the drug addicts at alpnames put a needle in their arms its the last.

Money from selling drug. Dirty. You trust?

CBD is not a recreational drug; it won't get you high ... it extended my neighbors life by 7 months when the dr. gave him 2 weeks to live.

Matt Blaze registered Crypto.com in 90's. At that time the idea for the name dealt with cryptography, computer and network security, and technology policy research. And, as you know, last year the name got sold.

So, finding such a name that can be used by an emerging industry is essential. Anyway, domaining is more about hard work, persistence, volume, and quality. Luck has minimal role to play.
