Just bought domains - How do I sell them? - lloydsbank.dev

[Sladon]

Hello, I just bought some .dev domains such as
lloydsbank.dev
creditmutuel.dev
bancochile.dev
yapo.dev
elpais.dev
And 4 more
How do I value them, and how should I sell them?
Thanks for the help.

They have no value. You registered a bunch of trademarks in a brand new extension.

You think the banks you're cybersquatting are going to pay you money for your names (instead of just taking them from you?) Really good strategy there, buddy...

Wow.
Expect to receive a few C&Ds soon, or better yet delete these domains.

What are C&Ds?

 

[BrandZen]

Contact the legal departments of each trademark holder and offer to sell it to them.

Either you'll get sued or get an offer

why they would be able to take those domains from me?

OK, if I was able to get to some kind of offer, how should I sell it. I mean if it was me the 1 buying I would want to be sure to receive the product, and for the seller the same. How or from where should I sell it?

What are C&Ds?

Cease and desist letters.

Or you risk being hit with UDRP:

My friend, I'm just messing around. The truth is those names are not worth anything. Educate yourself on what makes a domain good and start over.

They're not. Forget about them. Spend some time reading NP and start over.

contact your registrar and request a refund.most companies will give you a refund in the first 5 days.it's sometimes called a "grace delete".

Usually grown up people ask how to value and how to sell BEFORE making an investment.

I did this because I heard of someone that was a good idea, I know, I should have researched before buying

 

[golan]

Ok then, lesson learned, move on. Good luck ))

Domains are not a sale or return items. Don't buy something then ask yourself (or us) "how do I sell them"?

Instead ask yourself...

What kind of domains sell?
Why do they sell?
Who would want this domain?
What kind of business could be built on this domain?
Is the value of this domain going to rise or fall over time?
Does this domain break any trademark laws?
Do I know enough about domains to spend money on them?
Can I afford to lose money on domains?
Do I have a few hundred hours spare to read about the domaining industry?

These are the questions to ask yourself before spending any money and not necessarily in that order.

You will find all the information you need here but search for answers first before asking something that has been asked and answered a thousand times.

Good luck!

Hello @Sladon, and welcome to NamePros!

It seems there's a lot of misinformation "out there" about domain investing, and a lot of folks come to it believing they can make easy money. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
The advice given above is good: read a lot and buy slowly. Here's a good place to start: https://www.namepros.com/threads/popular-beginner-discussions.844937/
