Learn all about Frank Schilling's domains in his endless portfolio, he bares it all

[the_poet]

For anybody who has ever been curious about the domain names that Frank Schilling owns, there's a way to learn more with his DomainNameSales.com web site. As many Domain Industry bloggers have reported already, Frank Schilling's blog SevenMile.com which went inactive in 2008, now re-directs to his domain sales website which lists thousands of domains out of his own portfolio - and other large domain portfolios as well, according to the website.

I was right all along when I stated Schilling would eventually be pushing to sell off his domains piecemeal.
It really was no-brainer.

I also laughed at the silly delusional posters who seriously thought anyone rational would gift/pass on a high value domain portfolio to his children. _\|/_ LOL!!


The guy aint getting younger & would much rather be out of the domain game, and managing money now...swinging a large liquid bankroll.

Schilling these days certainly is making much more effort with his ProformaInc sales website & now this one.

I still maintain a driving factor for writing the blog was as a sales vehicle - to "talk his book" & "big up" the perceived value of his domain portfolio.

Also, of course, he understands the value of internet viral & social marketing.
He blogs, people respond, other bloggers pick up the blog etc...with the result that his blog gets top S/engine ranking for "Frank Schilling"

So when some random interested inquirer does a search for "Frank Schilling"...lo & behold...his blog is at the top...where the inquirer can read about Schilling's view on domain values & his own domains
In other words, inquirer gets the gist of the minimum benchmark price point at which Schilling "listens" to offers...

Once the big offers from domain companies evaporated or were rejected (combined with the downtrun in PPC), the motivation for enlightening the masses with his views was extinguished.


Especially given:

1/ PPC has gone down the toilet

2/ you can't "bank" domain equity

3/ unlikely for any large domain company to make an offer for whole bulk portfolio in the forseeable future

4/ euphoria of domain boom bubble years over, when seemingly everything was rosy & could only go up, when he entertained $250M-350M (?) offers from Oversee (?), for whole portfolio, warts & all

5/ more risks & onerous conditions (UDRP etc) for domain holders going forward

6/ cetainty of money today is worth more than the promise of more money tomorrow.
Even if he sells 10,000 domains a year (highly improbable given the 'average' sales price of $20,000), it would take 35 years to clean out the 350,000 portfolio!!
Then again, if he suceeds in selling all 350,000 domains (x $20,000 each), that translates into Total Sales of $7 BN. :sold:


If it gets any worse going forward, Schilling may have to ditch the fractional jet ownership & downgrade to 1st class.:hehe:

Do I have to be honest? If I were him, I would sell everything, put the money in the bank and live off the interest for the rest of my days!

Good Lord ... I hope that the random sampling that I did is not exemplary of the whole portfolio ...

I just submitted an inquiry for a domain that I tried several times to buy from them. After confirming my email I got this in Bold :

Names will not sell in the hundreds of dollars and most will require an investment of tens of thousands of dollars.

So I don't think I'll buy this domain ever since it doesn't even worth $1,000 (by all means).

Yes, it looks like he owns many sh**ty domains, which he's going to sell as gold!

I just got a reply to my inquiry (which is a template and they just input the domain name + price) :

This is a terrific domain name.

***********.com is exceedingly rare when viewed against the universe of more than 100 million names registered worldwide. It is difficult to overstate the many lifetime benefits that flow to the registrant of this valuable and meaningful name. The present owner has indicated that they would close a sale at $50,000.00 USD.

What a bargain!

Guys, when I said it doesn't even worth $1,000 earlier I meant it as an end-user not a reseller/domainer.

They're crazy!

 

[bmugford]

I figured someone with 200K domains would have a more impressive pitch than that.

Makes buydomians seem like a bargain.

Guess he's selling frankschilling.com and frankschilling.net

It's clear he made his portfolio estimates on the old Gambling names - he owns a bajillion of them.

Some of these domains are really crap...

 

[mwzd]

I'm fairly certain he'd get 300mm even now. :p

They're using the same acronym as we are for their domain sales site - DNS :lol:

My portfolio, vastly smaller and still being loaded is at Domain Name Showroom

some fantastic .tv's you have there

 

[DU]

So what's the worst domain YOU can find? I started a thread and it got deleted?

The worst I found:

raindeerpoop.com

That's the scat of a mistype... I mean, really!

Makes buydomians seem like a bargain.

His domains make mine look like gold. :lol:

I actually bought my portfolio name from buydomains, and paid way too much for it. Then I realised that it's 10 years old, and would have almost cost the amount I paid in renewal fees. :O
