new gTLD My ten most recently sold domains - Will continue invest in new gTLDs

[Fancy.domains]

Ok, my domaining this year has been lame and slow compared with 2016, but these are my most recently sold names (I might have forgot a few):

- Suite .xyz
- Tunis .xyz
- Tenerife .today
- Cargo .xyz
- Parisclick .com
- Iam .blue
- Crowd .tech
- Thaiexpats .com
- Se2 .org
- Rebel .one

Without the new gTLDs, my domaining would go (more or less) bankrupt.

Ok, Obviously short / great .com names are the king of domains (without competition) but I can't afford these at the moment

how much you make and its outbound sale?

how much you make and its outbound sale?

Various kind of sales. Not that much profit last months. The average price per domain is only about 200-250 dollars. It used to be above $500 per domain for me . But better than nothing.

 

[Fancy.domains]

One more sale and I have also received a few offers the last days.

A little more optimistic again!

would you say its mostly inbound or outbound? as in, would your domaining also go bankrupt if it were not for outbound? cheers

More are inbound sales, so it would not. Still the income is remarkable higher than the cost for renewals.

good for you!

is there any tip or strategy you may want to share or have for other ngtld investors who have but a tiny fraction of your success and generally (as in the majority) fail badly with their ngtlds investments?

most ngtld success story I hear of involve owning huge numbers of domains.. say xyz. or others.. would you say this is also your strategy?

 

[Fancy.domains]

I would say, either:

1. Spend a lot of time searching drops and other lists and do only register the very best ones you'll find.

2. Register lots of names at discounted prices and put up everything up at market places. Do only renew the best one and then continue with the same strategy.

Personally, I prefer strategy 1 as I want more control. But 2 might be more profitable.

I prefer to sell 1 domain for $2K instead of 5 domains x $400...
So in result I get +$2K and -1 domain...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

But better than nothing.

This POV looks like "there is the only one buyer in the world on my domains"... even on the very best ones...
For me such decision is very simple: if no adequate budget - bye, next buyer - welcome...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

But regarding .xyz I agree...
I don't see 4-figure potential for them.

Most of my domains will be sold for $xxxx minimum. My keepers.

It is mostly my presumed drops I sell for a low $xxx. Also, if I sell a name for 400, I can use that money to renew 25 BETTER names.

I had up to mid $X,XXX sales (Non-.com) of absolutely average domains... which couldn't be sold on this forum even for 2-3 regfee... Yes, quality is important always, but even more important - seller's skills to do negotiations and his psychology...

Sure, but the absolute most important factor has got to be how much total profit you make per year. Mann is selling loads of domains for mostly 5-digits, while Schwartz is selling a few 6 or even 7-digits. Both are doing great.

Ps. I totally agree on the negotiation part. Many of us has a lot to learn there.

They are selling .COMs...
I'm talking about all other TLDs... where 6-figure range is mostly mission impossible.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

All names which can be branded or already have potential endusers - might be sold high (if seller is able)... and even within 1-2 years... and without any outbound.

Yep, but still the same phenomenon. The total income is what matters, regardless of 500 or just 2 sales per year.

At least for me.

That is your perspective. Mine is that you can sell some high, some not so high.

If American student is able to pay $2K for Non-.com domain (after negotiations) - then I don't understand why some domainers can't sell their domains for such money even to companies... and even to medium and big companies.

I just got a 100 dollar offer for Tip .xyz, that I have listed for $1900. I didn't even bother to answer. There are so many different people and minds out there.
