How do you value your own domains?

What's your portfolio worth?

 

[Raymond C]

Here is where I wanted to get ... Rick has a great portfolio, but, as almost every domainer he also has worthless domains. The difference stands in they are owned by Rick and if they sell for high prices (or if they just sell) is NOT because they are worth TOP dollars; is because Rick has specials skills and circumstances to get those TOP dollars. To sell a domain for $1M dollars, first you have to say NO to a $999,999 offer and almost 99% of domainers can´t and won´t do that. What I mean is Rick´s portfolio in other domainer hands wouldn´t have made 5% of what he made. Hope you get the point

Its exactly what you mean. I start to say no for $2.8M offer until it reached my target $3M..... You have to stick to your price......

 

[Moosan]

Few Domains from My portfolio:
LcdMonitor.com Estibot.com $237,000
Nek.net Estibot.com $15,000
Jus.net Estibot.com $15,000
Adow.com Estibot.com $23,000

 

[BrandClub.com]

Sumo.com sold $1,500,000 in 2017

Vivo.com sold $2,100,000 in 2016 , close to $2.85M

Its exactly what you mean. I start to say no for $2.8M offer until it reached my target $3M..... You have to stick to your price......

Less tan 1% of domainers will PLAY to say NO to a $2.8M offer just to get $3.0M

 

[Raymond C]

Less tan 1% of domainers will PLAY to say NO to a $2.8M offer just to get $3.0M

In this case, I will push up price to $5M...say no to $2.8M
You need to perform like Rick's model.......

If that would be easy to apply to the real world, DOMAINING would be the PERFECT BUSINESS.
Rick´s model is that: "RICK´S MODEL" for me one of the greatest "domaining"models of all the times but ALMOST nobody can replicate his model just because everyone´s circumstances are different. Rick has special negotiation skills, special patience, special budget and special mindset and some special luck for sure. The perfect recipe to be "The KING". (Not for everyone)

 

[platey]

Team.com, f*ck.com, What.com.... those are all 4L.com and worth more than Unemployed.com for sure, and you have right, they are not Premium they are SuperPremium!

A domain is only worth value as a domain until a website is built on it even the most valuable domain is only worth 10 figures but although expensive is cheap compared to the $`'s it generates if a tech venture buys it then the 10 figures paid for it etc becomes nothing more than loose change

 

[Moosan]

If/when Estibot comes to buy your names, you can remind them of their estimates. Chances of them coming to buy your names, slim, chances of them paying their own estimates, slimmer

Hi little bit off-topic here but how els you Valuate your domains? another thing i don't expect getting anywhere close to the amount shown above. Now that being said Sold few domains for $xxxx with no Estibot value.
Regards

How do you value your own domains?

What's your portfolio worth?

Great post so thank you but where did you even find this list-doesn't he just sell through brokers?

 

[WebInceptions]

Anyone know where I can get a list of his 7,000 domains?

 

[tomcarl]

Someone had to post it.

 

[Moosan]

if one wants to replicate Rick's model one also needs Rick's domains.

The most difficult part is having the domains. Unless you have the perfect and best domain available and the company really needs and wants it they are not going to pay you $15 million. For that price they can get virtually any domain that is listed for sale today. They will simply buy a better one if there is one available for that price.

if you have sex.com which is probably the best domain in the adult niche you can ask $15 million for it because there are no better alternatives. If you own sex.net no one is going to pay you $15 million for it if they can have the .com for $13 million.

Hmmm , Agree to disagree, Just because you have good domain doesn't guarantee High End sale. You also need to know how to negotiate and Make buyer feel like they are getting the best deal ever.
Based on personal experience . Sold Domain few months ago for $515 and within month domain was Sold Again for $11,000.

Totally agree what you said. " Make buyer feel like they are getting the best deal ever"
That's why I need to put up ridiculous high price $15M to start with...so that there are plenty of rooms to negotiate down to $7.5M....buyer will be very happy, and they think that they get half price....

Most of my names are ridiculously high price, well over 90%.....Gemstones.Diamonds listed $5M, if I negotiated down to $3M, the buyer will be very happy to get $2M off,...and I will be happy to get $3M...win win for both parties....

My point is I need to set high inflated price...If I set low price to start with, I don't have room to negotiate upward ... low return...

 

[domqo]

But on another side some domain names are amazing. I hope someday to have domain list like this.

 

[Smiles76]

But on another side some domain names are amazing. I hope someday to have domain list like this.

Unless you have millions in the bank or get a time machine and go back to the 90's, there is no chance to get those type of domains. All the top domainers already own them. There are a few exceptions but as a whole most of the top domainers started early. The rest of us are just living through them.

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

ibankonline.com - $400,000 ???
Well, than my iBancomat.com worth min. $10k

Or my Banco360.com

Santander?
Banco Popular?

Comps?

Capital One 360

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

Of course you forget that all NPer's are cheap by nature.

So if the domain sells for less it doesn't really speak on the quality of the domain but on the quality of the audience.


Even if it is one of those domain mentioned here.

 

[Raymond C]

Indeed, it should be: $162,000 , strong logic

Premium Market value. I guess....

 

[Raymond C]

Indeed, it should be: $162,000 , strong logic

no more $162,000 . It's price up to $380,000 now

 

[Raymond C]

99% living in fantasy land ..lol

Someone said selling domains is just like chasing rainbow.......lol

 

[domain-name]

Indeed, it should be: $162,000 , strong logic

its should be $1620 only, lol

 

[baseballworld]

99% living in fantasy land ..lol

I think this is also because 99 percent of domainers only do one aspect of domaining. They don't utilize multiple aspects to generate income from there domain names nor how to increase there wealth with them. Buying the domain and listing it for sale is an easy aspect of the industry anyone can purchase one. Knowing what to do with it in the meantime after purchasing is where there skills come in that benefit the most.

 

[baseballworld]

The glass is only half empty if you were drinking from it.
Yet it is half full if you were pouring/adding into it.

A domain is only worth what someone will pay for it TODAY !

So when a price is ASKED and it does not sell,
it is more telling of what it is not worth TODAY,
otherwise it would have sold TODAY.

Auctions are not a fair determination of 'value' at all.
At auction, it is the 2nd highest bidder who determines the price.
The winner might have been willing to pay twice as much.

If you leave money on the table, who does it belong to ?

WHO WILL CLAIM IT ?

Well said
