@domainer111 f/u/n/b/e/d/s and h/o/v/e/r/h/u/b is listed twice.
That 299 pricing magic adds up real nice.
How many domains in your inventory ?

 

[domainer111]

why would you need to keep checking and how?

You have to keep checking and you need a script to do that. You could forget to approve the eMail and other reasons. You then just ask Afternic to try and get them set up again.

Thanks, the portfolio is around 4,500-5,000 names. $299 really does work. I am trying $399 on a few starting the last few months.

Ah thats right, I believe i tried but was uneligible... do you have any domains reg’d at GoDaddy being used with the fasttransfer program?

yeah.. thats one of the reasons I don't use aftrnic fast transfer.. that plus the factI am not crazy about pricing my domains.. as sometimes I feel like modifying prices .. and some stuff is just futuristic investment for (VR holo etc)... so I am in rush to sell some of those now.

I wish afternic fast transifer program was working better. the email approval varies from registrar to registrar.. some half working.. .and then even if you approve your domains like you say can still get out of program.. depending on.. I dunno.. I guess the weather.

 

[Primary Names]

@domainer111 I think your pricing is very accurate. I would have priced those domains exactly the same. Hope to learn more from you. Thanks for sharing and congratulations.

 

[domainer111]

Ah thats right, I believe i tried but was uneligible... do you have any domains reg’d at GoDaddy being used with the fasttransfer program?

Yes, they are mostly at Godaddy, only a few at NameSilo.

Thank you - it is a grind working on pricing I try and do 500 or so at the start of each month. But I think it's worth it. I deleted the duplicates.

Great job. I wonder if you can share some insights about the average acquisition price and average holding time. I've noticed that you have some hand reg's but also you have some for which you've paid high xxx for them, could you share the average cost? Also, could be great if you could share the average profit per year( xxx, xxxx, xxxxx, xxxxxx). Thanks.

I generally buy drops and tend not to bid. But the odd time I do. My biggest bid this year was CoolFood.com at around $1600. The odd time I make purchases on the market, and that's usually a disaster.

So, you would say the the average could be closer to 50$, 100$, 300$, 500$? I'm always curious how others are pricing their names and managing their portofolio. Also, I've noticed that you have started from 2005, so your names are mostly bought 5-10 years ago or in the last 1-2 years? If you don't want to share more info I understand. Thank you anyway.

Hi Boker, it's actually not that I don't want to share, it's just that I don't have the averages. Typically if I do the drops, on a day, I might go for one at $79 on snap, and say seven or eight at $18. I really try not to get involved in auctions, but I do a fair bit. I started I would say in 2000. I'm doing better now than in the early days.

Glad you solved that Nigerian scammer reputation problem!

Lot of trial and error

 

[Miro Baranasic]

Bonsu I have the same problem and I´m from Croatia so it is not only problem for Nigerian people. While everything is being calculated you need to sold 5 domains to cover the GoDaddy market commission for four domains which would push and got paid on Paypal, even less because Paypal invoice also have fees, 5% on the price and also don´t forget you do not waste your time to push, maybe errors by domain push, invoice, follow up, payment problems etc. and time is precious. I just say to end users that they can buy the domain directly at GoDaddy.com and that is all don´t want to give the GoDaddy market link because because he could look like a scam or spam. Of course it would be much better if the costs were lower. Now I'm thinking ti include in first email to giving the option except the BIN price that they can also make the offer if they do not agree with the price. What do you think about this? I'm afraid then nobody will want to buy a domain for BIN price, and again if I put the $550 price maybe they want the domain for $350 and do not even answer because the domain is too expensive for them. Some suggestion to find the best solution? Experiences? Thanks
