It’s special (hard) times, so I will try to share as much as I can to keep up the optimism/momentum in the industry. Hope everyone is holding up.
Just sold a name today through Sedo fast transfer. Have a few other transactions that are agreed to but are taking longer than usual to close, one client specifically stated was hesitant on price because of the virus situation and as a result - change of business plans, but I think most transactions should close.

Name: c r o p i n s u r e . c o m
Listed price: $3200
Sold price: $3200
Acquisition cost: $xx
Hold time: a bit less than 3 years
Net: $2560
Offer history: had one interested party in 2017, but stayed firm on price and rejected.

Would like to share this one, because the common belief is that made up names are hard to sell by themselves (especially for decent prices), but I've sold quite a bit of 5-6 letter invented brandables through direct type in or Afternic, mostly for around $2-3k range depending on quality.

Just received the second payment today for a name I recently sold. It was one of the first names I owned, from the drop in 2016. Below are the details:

Name: M o r i g o . c o m
Listed for: $1900
Sold Price: $1650 (I normally offer at most 10-15% off to help close a sale, payment plans also help sometimes, but I don't enable the payment plan option by default so most sales still come in one payment.)
Venue: Dan direct landing page
Additional details: 12 month payment plan, 9% commission

Congrats, how many similar (made up) names you own?

Congrats, how many similar (made up) names you own?

Up to the end of last year I had around 1500 names that are between 5-6 letters, can't tell you exactly how many of those are made-up right now. Some have root words, some don't. It's something I need to figure out and work on to evaluate my own performance as well.

I did a quick calculation, sold over 40 names that are 5-6 letters in 2019. Again, some have root words/meaning, some don't. I think the most important metric everyone should know is your sell through rate - for both the overall portfolio and specific segments, and fine tune them over time. Will make a longer post in a separate thread about sales stats in the future.

First time trying out NameLiquidate.com with some names. Ihmo a great platform for names you are trying to offload or will not renew.

[Rob Monster]

Name: U/V/Sanitizer/.com

Sale Price: $6500

Hold Time: 16 months

Total cost: $17

This was an expiry domain.

While product category domains are not known to be hot sellers, sometimes they hit.

The inquiry came in this morning via an Epik SSL lander. I opened at $20,000 and settled at $6500. Left some money on the table for the next guy.

Obviously with the worldwide shortage of hand sanitizer products there is a mad dash to other solutions. I imagine there are more of these domains to be sold out there. Find them and bring them to Epik.

Sold a golden ‘oldie of my domains. Set the price low for this domain and left a lot of money on the table but will allow me to hang on too many quality domains for the upcoming downturn covering a few months of renewals until the next sale…

Domain: GoSwordfish (com)

Venue: Sedo

Price: $2499

BTW… Sedo has done great lately….

 

[Rob Monster]

Name: Alloy/ed.com

Sale price; $36,000

Hold time: 15 months

Total cost: $17

This was a moonshot. The inquiry came inbound from an Epik SSL lander. I asked for $100K and the negotiation took months. For the right buyer, it is $100K. This buyer did not have that. We settled at $36K.

Domains ending with "ed" are popular. They are past participle form of verbs. These domains make great brandables. If folks have them, happy to check them out.
