question What is your biggest mistake in Domaining

[jamaltq]

Hello Guys
As in title.
For me, It is the investing in 5L.com Chips.

Not registering domains when I saw them back in the 90's and also buying .co.com domains ... I registered about 50 of them at full price like a rookie and couldn't even shift them for .com prices

Learn't my lesson ha ha

1. Registering domains based on your intuitions without proper market research.
2. Going for random abc .com/.org etc.

I bought about 30 4letter through GD closeout in 2012 and regret that I did not follow my intuition and bought many more

Not registering some great new gTLDs combos, while there were still available at standard renewals

Believing in what I feel (without any knowledge at all) rather than looking at the reality (trends and market).

It's the same for me, I've also missed the auction at the end of time.

Pretty simple for me..not sticking to a budget and factoring registration costs

Buying crappy domains at the start and not following the trend..

Buying domain at auction at high price which has one end user target, they had every other extension except .com and after contacting them they asked for the price and it's been 1 year they never turned up even after regular follow ups ..and it's now renewL time .

Moral of the story never invest big depending upon 1 end user ..buy names which h has minimum 25 to 30 endusers

Yes! It is time for them to get the name; they have been waiting for you to drop the name so they can catch it up. You just renew it and keep it up. Good luck
Cheers.

I have not renewed it yet ...but I can see there are 20 bidder s have backordered the name with remaining 20 days to go ...yes iam going to renew..thanks mate

My concern is domain is at namejet and I see 20 bidders backordered it, I doubt if the enduser is in the list even I let it expire some Domainer going to buy it and pitch to the enduse or do u think there is any chance the end-user is the list of bidders who have backordered it in namejet

Don't ever and ever drop such domain; you are having gem, never mind I assume the end user is among them. Even if end user is not among them, with patience you can still sell the domain at huge profit. Please hold the domain, if you have money now it is even better to renew it now so that you don't have any disappointment and when they see you renewed; unexpected offer can even come up

My mistake was that I bought a domain from dynadot auction and there was no any offer until the domain was about to drop, and I felt I should auction the domain to save renewal money and use the money for other domains renewal. Can you believe that the domain was sold here in auction and pushed to the buyer for $13 and offer came in on 3rd day and that was to be the 3rd day when I supposed to have renewed it. The $200 starting offer came in at undevelopped.com, in which there was opportunity to increase to something around $1000.

A lesson learned!!!

Registering NGTLD's

 

[aditya11117]

Missed cheap LLL .coms

 

[Addison]

My biggest mistake was saying, "No" to fair deals (always trying to hold out for more) when I should have sold the domains.

Once I finally learned my lesson, my sales and profits have been booming!

 

[hugegrowth]

Not recognizing back in 2000 (when I started regging my first domains) the investment potential of short .com domains ie: 2L, 3L, 4L, 2N, 3N, 4N, 5N.

 

[spietreser]

Biggest mistake was not buying two letter .coms when they were just $10k back in the day. The risk seemed too high at that time, but now...

Not protesting loudly when powerful fraud NTRO/government officials falsely claimed that their lazy mediocre fraud girlfriends like asmita patel, veena, sunaina, riddhi siddhi, naina, nayansree, who do not spend any money online, owned my domain names, to get their girlfriends R&AW/CBI/intelligence jobs with monthly salary, while I am not getting anything and have to pay expenses

 

[TRY]

About 8 years ago I called my registrar to renew some names and drop some. A few months later I realized I dropped the ones I wanted to renew and renewed the ones I wanted to drop.
