Although I have contacted a few potential buyers, sales have increased due to the following change:

I own a little over 400 domain names, which I had parked at different companies, but was not getting anything. So I decided to redirect about 400 domain names to my domain selling site, which is on my signature. As we all know, most end-users do not know about Whois and usually visit the domain they are looking for to see if it is taken.

That is how some of them have landed on my site and contacted me to see how much I was asking for the domain. In addition, I am usually realistic about the value of the domains I own.

Just to share how being realistic on your prices help, last week I reported the sale of AustinBikeRentals.com. When the buyer of that domain name contacted me, I asked for $750 for the domain. He stated it was too much and asked me if I know who owns the singular (AustinBikeRental.com) and how much it was selling for.

He said he was going to find out about the singular and call me back if interested in mine. After our conversation, I went to the singular and saw the owner was selling it for $50,000 (although it has now changed to Make Offer). The end-user called me within one hour stating he wanted to buy my domain, but insisted his company's budget for domain names could not go over $500. I accepted the offer.

In short, I have come to terms with the fact that, although I have a few valuable names, the majority of my domains are neither premium nor high traffic names. I decided to create my own little platform. The site may not look great, since I am not a Web designer and have done what I could. I may hire a designer later on to rebuild the site. After all, domaining is still a hobby for me, since I am very involved with my offline profession. Domaining is the first income generating hobby I have.

Hello, your site is okay. The design concept is quite Simple which is cool, if I wasnt so busy with my time, I would have taken up the redesign for FREE. Hopefully, I when I am done, I will contact you for that.

Long Live Namepros

@infosec3: wordpress+(free)theme+stockphotos can help you make a great looking website.

On topic: My personal experience with local SMB domains (US/Europe); they typically don't want to spend more than $1k preferably around the $200-$500 range. In this category, i've sold mostly around $300 and exceptionally around the $2k range.

Very, very interesting. I just parked all of my domains for the first time today, and if I don't see anything in the next few months, I might do this as well.

The concept makes a ton of sense.

Great post. I feel that people are so used to seeing generic marketplace parked-pages that they begin to associate the whole thing with spam and are desensitized to the fact that the domain they want is available and perhaps at a reasonable price.

I wouldn't be surprised if some people are even intimidated by landing pages, dismissing them as either spam or just some noob who got to the domain first and is trying to get rich off of it. Or have to go through a long drawn out process of registering at websites, providing personal information, credit card details, etc, with 0 personal interaction.

A personalized hub-page would make you a lot more approachable. They can communicate with a real person who set up a venue for interacting. If you think about it, landing pages are almost like a Wall or a Barrier between you and whoever typed in your name. You're a mysterious, anonymous person holding a domain hostage for ransom behind a bunch of spam ads.

I think is that Sedo and the rest should evolve already to the next level and allow very highly customized parked pages, at least.

I think DomainNameSales.com are doing a terrific job. I have most of my domains parked there without the advertisements and the landing page looks really professional.

Listing items on your own website will only make sense if your site has some search engine traffic. Otherwise it's as bad as parking.

Yes, you can get some traffic if you use your URL as your signature, but that is only as bad as trying to sell your names at forums!!

Nevertheless, if you're only young and you intend to stick to domaining in the future, you will have nothing to lose by staring a site now and keep adding more info to it gradually until search engines will find you in months to come, through having done on-page/off-page SEO.

Awesome to see others doing this. I have created something similar as a page on my promotions site. Added a domain marketplace.

Do you think this is worded okay?

Thanks.

Sold veganhealthbenefits/com on Flippa yesterday for $100. Picked up for $3.67 on June 6th

 

[ruzeen]

Congrats to @AbdulBasit.com and other recent sellers!

 

[GoWeb]

"Flipped" VaporizersForSale // com for $1000 to a domain brokerage firm, they will resell for no less than $7500 IMO since anything "VAPOR" is quite hot these days.
Acquired for $100 at GoDaddy one month back.
The only reason I let it go cheap was because it received only 4 bids (~$250) on it at Flippa despite 350+ views.

"Vaporizers For Sale" = 2400 Exacts, ~$1CPC, High Comp.

MCEME (dot) com / $815 on 6/22.

GD Premium Auctions.
Hand Reg'd with a promo code.

Further evidence that if you carefully choose LLLLL.com's (catchy, dictionary or proper name words) as they drop and patiently wait/market wisely - the right buyer will eventually find & without argument, pay for them.

 

[RelativelyGenius]

.com Ad Talks $100
.com 247 Recipes $100
.info Bows $100

Congrats....nice ROI.
Sidenote: where was .info sold? I have several short/keyword/dictionary/NNN/NNNN .info domains that I would like to sell - without undercutting their value to the left of the dot.

 

[GoWeb]

Congrats - they reached out to you or...?

2/3 people responded to my email I sent out to owners of some select "vapor" domains and Andrew of Media/Options got it finally.
I could have waited few months/years for an end-user but then I thought better to flip this one.
