All of my 300,000 domains for sale, in Excel with prices [URL='http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/https://www.domainmarket.com/download/all_domains']https://www.domainmarket.com/download/all_domains [/URL]


I've attached a copy of the excel sheet!

We are selling them for cheap on purpose to keep the market moving, but the value is dramatically greater and rising very fast for the best ones like we own. There is no question that one day some quant analyst mathematician from Wall Street will be able to do the math properly, right now you just have domainers with no idea and dudes in office suits with less idea. We only sell .Com names with multiple good sales prospects which are rare and provide extreme marketing investment value forever. Nobody in the world has a collection even close, especially considering they have real world prices on them, which nobody knows how to do or has endless years to buy and price that many names properly, or the bankroll. Advantage Mann.

The reported sales, were what he reported...they did not come out of thin air. MM reported $233K sales, MM stated that it was his best month in 20 years. I mean, either we disregard everything MM says and reports, or we at least allow that some of what he says is true.

Your argument is becoming a bit absurd. The points made by DomainGist were well reasoned and backed up with sources.

Your posts in this thread are just all kinds of wrong. Haven't read them all to see if somebody explained it or you figured it out yet. That amount was off of 27 sales. You really think he just sold that month on average less than 1 domain a day? When he's posted he sells that many a day sometimes - https://www.namepros.com/threads/mi...s-best-month-ever.1011941/page-3#post-6095635

Those were just the biggest sales of that month, not all of them. The thread I just linked to goes thru it.

Mike Mann should join Namepros. All these fun tidbits that people are commenting about :P. Like how changing 8 to 9 at the end gives him millions more LOL

not if he sells fewer domains and loses his unique branding

 

[JB Lions]

Here is a very general model (again) of how this could easily work:

300,000 domains x 8.50 = $2,550,000 - renewals
If you sold $20,000 a day on average x 365 = $7,300,000 a year

$4,750,000 left over after renewals for buying new domains, profit or whatever

$20,000** a day with 300,000 domains is like selling $20,000 in a year with 820 domains.

Is that doable?

I made much more than that with 450 domains. So yes, it's pretty easy.

**I got that amount after reading many posts like - https://www.namepros.com/threads/mi...s-best-month-ever.1011941/page-3#post-6095635

Those are just 2 examples. One of those days was $60,000, one day was $17,000. Long time ago, I took a bunch of those posts and averaged them out.

Don't have an orgasm or anything will you... he didn't actually provide any decent data at all to help settle the debate, and managed to insult pretty much everybody on the thread by effectively calling us all inferior morons despite the fact that many were sticking up for him. I expected better, hope he stubs his toe.

I think it's because the person who invited him to this thread was the one person dissing him the most :P. So he kinda went into the thread with battle gear.

Still can't believe XYnames did that LOL. Dude must have balls of steel.

Also, I'm pretty sure Mann didn't even read through the thread, probably read a few posts then replied. He doesn't have a lot of time to read walls of texts because it sounds like portfolio management takes up a lot of resources.

He doesn't even use the word "I", it's now "we." And that's something to think about -- it's such a big project it's not even him anymore. Kind of like how Microsoft is no longer Bill Gates.

I honestly wanted domaining to be a great significant revenue source, but now I'm rethinking that since Mike Mann isn't just sitting there waiting for domains to sell.

I thought I could just reggae good domains or buy aftermarket domains, having done the time-consuming research one time only, then just throwing them up on Epik with BIN and having bodis for the ads + inquiry form. And I thought that was that :P.

Then when you've sold too many domains, you have to restock so that your 1 or 2% yearly sales equates to the threshold of yearly income you're desiring. Because it's all about numbers -- if the average number of sales is 1 or 2%, then you need to be holding X number of good domains per year.

But naaaaaaaaaaaah. It sounds like you have to do active research on all of your domains every so often :/. That kind of blows.

 

[DomainGist]

If the domain is good enough and priced correctly it will sell. If a portfolio only has strong names you can exceed 2% passively and buyers will find you.

I'm rebuilding after a 2 year absence and will be hitting domaining harder than ever. I've got 9 auction + closeout wins waiting to hit my account, another 6 with bids at the moment.

Want to know what I'm doing this time?

1). Setting a buy it now price, and sticking with it. No constantly tweaking prices, I'll review a price one per 12 months at the most.
2). Accepting no price negotiations. Buyers will be able to 'Buy Now', and can finance over 12 months if they want, but I won't budge $1 on price.
3). Pricing will be exactly the same on every marketplace I list it on.

Either you have faith in your domain or you don't. I'll share more when I've got a portfolio, its going to take me a while for me to rebuild.

@Mike Mann: Congrats on amassing a 300k portfolio. Credit where credit is due.

Now:

you guys have absolutely no idea how to appraise super premium .Com domains

you certainly havent even tried to appraise even 1% of my collection even if you were qualified

you all are just making up stupid guesses that you have no idea about

Godaddy bot and estibot (and your bothead) are counterproductive because they make up random numbers that only harms the marketplace.

right now you just have domainers with no idea and dudes in office suits with less idea.

That should make all of us feel warm and fuzzy inside.

@Mike Mann

Now that's awesome! Some people think that the top players in the industry don't ever come around. Well, you proved them wrong! Thanks for contributing!

Best of luck in 2018. You'll move more names than ever I'm sure!

Well, he's posted in this thread back in 2015: https://www.namepros.com/threads/domainmarket-com-julio-martinez-wont-honor-the-deal.894690/

 

[xynames]

Watch and see. He won't be renewing most of his names in coming months.

I sent MM a Facebook message inviting him to come to this thread and comment....

BTW, we already deleted 100,000 names that were deemed not good enough. It takes a very long time to weed through 300K domains.

Somehow I dont find Clockwork Orange to be a viable threat.

this is rational

 

[Mike Mann]

renewing all of them every month, HODL

 

[DomainGist]

I was on your side in this thread.

No idea what 'threat' you are talking about. I have to wear a mask because exposure to sunlight could kill me, nobody apart from one medical specialist who makes the mould for my mask has seen my face for 19 years. When I leave the house I also have to wear a giant UV protected bubble.... that's only when I have to visit hospital, twice a year.

That's why I stay in my basement and trade domains for a living.

 

[Jv1999]

Gawd... Mike Mann said hodl. That means he's also into crypto. . . Oh my geez. . . What a huge whale!

 

[Mike Mann]

I'm in to selling crypto domains and hoping others get rich on the other weirdness. I want to build blockchain stuff but would not invest in anything out there at the moment without a year or two of study.

 

[richface]

We are all living on borrowed time but yet we spend most of our time going at each other

Looks like money will outlive as all, I don't personally know Mike but he is clearly not a fool.

I doubt he will be running a business with consistent loses. Instead of proving some nonsense

about his sales why not drain some knowledge from him instead? in my personal experience you do not rise to the top by smearing millionaires in the same industry you expect to excel in, especially with no solid facts, sure don't blow smoke up his a** but be tactful.

solicit some knowledge apply it, even if his sales were false sometimes the best response is not to respond. It shouldn’t bother you so much as he would be lying to himself if his sales were false. Big balls no brains mean no hot soup but ego doesn’t open doors.


@Mike don't be quick to rush to judgement there are some great minds also on this forum they turn not to do too much talking.


anyway, my opinion only


happy new year to all.

I hate when that happens. Why do you have to hide your name?

 

[Mike Mann]

For the record, I'm actually just a charity worker who got robbed and distracted.

 

[DomainGist]

I don't have to, happy new year and good luck for 2018.

I do think if you read through this thread again you would see that I was on your side, I said that you have many genuine premium domains and are a very shrewd man... so not sure why the hate from you.

Shalom!

 

[ctmixing]

a few a year we win

A few a year.... I can work with that

 

[Michael M]

It's easy to speculate and talk trash about someone who is out-exceeding you at your own game...

I do not know @Mike Mann - but did look through his list.

Out of 300k names there are some bad ones, but I imagine if everyone multiplied their portfolio to his size - their trash would probably be proportional.

It is hard to accumulate decent domains at decent prices, and I am sure that level of difficulty only increases as the number of domains you are stockpiling exponentially increases.

I think Mike knows what he is doing better than any of you, which is why he is standing above the majority of the flock in this industry. Me, personally - I would rather learn from him than try to tear him or his business plan apart.

I dont believe I said anything hateful?
