Please share your total approximate dollar amount in actual .TV sales versus the total dollar amount in offers if you sold at every offer your got. I am very interested to see what the numbers look like along with the margin.
Actual sales: $1500 USD
Total dollar amt in offers: $67,000 USD
I realize that many will find that the above numbers are very far apart and while the total number of domains that I have had offers on that I have rejected is not listed I can tell you it is under 15 domains and almost all have plans for development outside a few. I will also state I own more than 200 .tv domains which makes up for less than 20 percent of my portfolio.
My purpose in asking this question is that I have found with frequency that certain domains in my portfolio which can be counted on three hands, not two, continue to appreciate with time making it very difficult to flip because in essence you are getting paid to develop through appreciation. If you own a domain and get an offer for 500 and sometime later you get one on the same domain for 1K and then a year later it is 2K and you need to really ask yourself why you would sell? If you are an investor it would take many purchases to find a similar growth domain, right? The only disrupter to this style of thinking is the end user offer which may have you believe more will come along and it may or may not. The domains I sold, although great domains, were low frequency domains for me and those I never had any intention to develop. Those domains that I own that follow that pattern I will sell if the opportunity presents itself.
The above exercise is proposed to get everyone thinking as to what level of a risk taker or businessman/woman you are as well as what kind of domain name chooser you are because a domain is not always as great as you personally think it is.
