way to cheap

I disagree on price, but I like that you appreciate the domain.

The truth is I have a ton of volume and can't renew everything. And also have a ton of way better names as keepers, plus buying more each day. At least 2-3 like this per day + others.

Edit: Dynadot has a $6.99 promo right now... this domain pays for a ton of others for 1 year.

Could've been sold to another investor who will hold on to it for 1-10 years waiting for the right one.

In that time, he'd have made the same amount by re-investing the $299 spread across 30+ other names, some which will sell. Repeat.

All weighs out in the end, except 1 creates cash flow, shares opportunities, fuels a passion, the other doesn't.

Perfectly explained. Thanks!

Edit: I have thousands of other names to renew for many years. And I usually buy at least 10 names per day, many similar to this one, sometimes much more. 5-fig investment going into 6 fig next, but inventory has its limits. I always find more names than I can buy. I prefer to sell 5 names at $199 today, rather than waiting months to sell one of those names at $1999 - because the math checks out.

Out of the pack I often select some that will be sold now for cashflow usually below $500. Overall this balanced approach provides best results at least for myself - both shot term and long term. Even if I sell 5 at $199 per day it's still balanced. I have a lot of volume so it's worth it. For those who find difficult to buy such names, the other approach of pricing full retail and holding all names for years makes more sense, but not in my case.

Those who have seen my clearances as well know that I clear hundreds of .coms each month - these are only those that won't be renewed. Edit: I usually end up selling the lot in bulk, so these names still have lifetime - but I know that; and it's okay with me. Again, volume makes the difference.

Most recent..all dotcoms. Left meat on the bone but I'm satisfied...All but 1 were handregs.

LottoPredictions - $425, initial offer $250 inbound via Dan lander. Passive inventory. $6.99 Handreg + 1 renewal.

AskBlackMen - $750, initial offer $100 inbound via Dan lander. Nice deal for buyer. Handreg from drops, 3 month hold

PrankEmail - $500, initial offer $500 inbound via Dan lander, countered at $600 but they went silent, re-countered at their initial offer, accepted. Received the offer shortly after an on-the-fence renewal. $10 NP Bargain BIN 2016

EdibleContent - $1,250, initial offer $125 inbound via Dan lander. Handreg + 2 renewals. Good name

SwagRabbit - $3000, initial offer $3000 inbound via Dan lander. Accepted initial offer outright because it matched the BIN price I had set on Afternic for a few months before taking it down, maybe could've gotten more but was offered what I originally wanted with half the fees, could've been a watcher. Handreg + 4 renewals, always had a deeper liking for the name.

PS: as to my previous post: Don't list ALL you have for low set prices with no stewardship, rather, set aside your best, share the rest, put your gut to the test...

Congrats on sale.

Is your message/advice from this post: list your domains at $xx,xxx prices and have faith/good luck with pricing?

Congrats on sale.

Is your message/advice from this post: list your domains at $xx,xxx prices and have faith/good luck with pricing?

I like you so I am going to respond. My message is just an expression not to price too low. I went with my guts in pricing high but I already made up my mind on 5 figures only after my research. Always price high on afternic .One more detail to add is, I had this name priced at $18,999 at Dan and used Dan lander but that didn't stop the buyer from hitting the bin on afternic for $26,999. In reference to ", Good luck with your pricing", don't be scared to price high as most people do here, including me from time to time. I am still learning but growing every day. I have said no to lots of $x,xxx offers including yesterday on a new offer.

As for faith, believe in what you are investing your money on as long as they are not pigeon shit. You make money on the buy but do your research so you don't leave too much money on the table or lose money.

Moderators,please move this message so the sales thread remain clean.
