WildGamble - $1800, BIN on Afternic

Hold time- 1 Year
Purchase: $30
Sale Price: $4999

Afternic BIN, without fast transfer. Drop reg, hold time 3 months.

Still don't know what they will use it for... figured it's probably for code. This was one of those cases where you don't know the niche exactly but like it, you're 100% sure it will sell fast, and it did.

It was a very good name and bargain deal if the buyer is the end-user.

It is a brandable domain adding code + digger just like a golddigger

Also Co + Digger two distinct and meaningful dictionary words. Digging here could also be like mining now just imagine crypto mining or data mining

 

[sharastar]

data mining

Yeah man Data Mining for sure.

I don't disagree, but I see a point missed here.

There is more than one valid price for each domain. It depends on your goals and particular situation. I have a ton of these and even with mid 5-fig budget I can't renew everything, and I wasn't (stil am not) that much in love with this name.

Niche, yes. Price, retail, yes. Trust it will sell soon for that retail price? Not so much. This is why it went market range and I'm very happy to have it sold right now.

Congrats. Could you clarify about "can't renew everything"? How is renewing different from registering new names, except 1-2$ possibly saved on promos per name? That "gain" too is mostly negated by 60 day lock and other factors. If you are in the growth mode, shouldn't you be renewing almost every name besides some "don't know what I was thinking" type of names.

Dropping is growing sometimes.

 

[Recons.Com]

You could still be in growth mode by dropping names. Growth mode = gaining skill atpicking better ones or in other words, "don't know what I was thinking".... still growth.

Yes, but that wouldn't be due to budget though. That would be quality related. And even then, picking better names decision doesn't mean you have to drop the older ones. They have to be considered on their own merit. I have stopped dropping names almost completely as I have noticed that they more than pay for their own renewals and don't require any additional work.

It's a long story - trying to make it simple. I've maxed out my budget but increasing quality a lot lately, so what I want to renew are domains better than this. Also acquisition is growing fast so I keep a limit on domains of this category, to let more room for better names, shifting towards more expensive ones worth renewing for multiple years but less risky in renewal cost should market go down for any reason. Not the whole story but you get the picture.

So yeah, dropping is growing sometimes.

Edit: This domain goes for me in the "safe market sale, not so sure about retail sale" - as in duration, certainty of a sale within the next 1-2 years. So I opted for market pricing and it sold and pays for a ton of other names like this.

When you max your budget, and when there's plenty of fish and growing fast, you have to sell. A lot.

It doesn't matter that much if you sell at $299 or $150 or whatever, if this is a good sales ratio and pays for more that comes right now. Otherwise you might not have room for buying more tomorrow.

If sales % is right, this is a way to grow. Sell now. Sell repeatedly. Not recommended for everyone, but it is for me. Market sales bring 60%+ of my revenue, well, that tells a story.

For each such domain sold daily I get 10 domains each day (on average). So unless I get more risk/exposure right now (avoiding that), you need to sell, keep money flowing. This is why many don't understand here (especially newbies) why sometimes I sell things at market price instead of full retail price.

Also, I could keep this one but I'm improving and learning a lot lately so I would focus on much higher yield domains. This means I keep the questionables flowing, not much thinking over them, while working and thinking way more on the ones that might yield top 4-fig or 5-fig especially.

So as I said, it's a much longer story.
