It depends what you want.

You're on NamePros. Check the for sale section. If you don't see what you want, consider posting in the Wanted section.

Sedo and Afternic / GoDaddy probably have the largest selection of domains. But they're geared more towards end users. Though you can sometimes find deals, especially with auctions.

There are a lot of other marketplaces that are also registrars. Atom, Dynadot, and Spaceship / Namecheap to name a few.

There are Facebook, Reddit, and LinkedIn domain groups.

Keep in mind, you'll have to go through a huge haystack to maybe find the proverbial needle.

see the auctions

Resellers, Hobbyists, Entrepreneurs, End Users, Venture Capitalists, Investors, Prospectors, Part-Timers, Full-Timers, Developers, Data-Crunchers, and more, frequent NamePros.. Many in shadows and only pop their heads up when something is genuinely interesting to them.

In short, NamePros marketplace is cool... But then, so are the landing pages you can monetize

A more direct answer to your question: You can generally find domains at a lower price-point on NamePros (Since you mentioned "Buying"). After all, "Buying low and selling high" is the principle of investments.

Just wanted to add some more context to the following reply of mine:

Here's a real world example of what I mean (From another thread I shared it in), where I sold a domain on NamePros for well below the market value to another domain investor looking to resell it for a profit and they did exactly that:

Ok, here's an example of one I under sold in a batch deal, which fits better as an example of what you may be wanting to see.

Example of a domain being resold again after i sold it:

• I sold Alarmable (.com) back in 2012 in a package deal of 8 domains. The winning bid was $26 ($26 divided by 8 = $3.25 for the domain)
• NameBio shows Alarmable (.com) resold in 2013 for $467
• Today, Alarmable (.com) is a Godaddy parked page
• WayBack Machine shows that since I sold it in 2012 it's been a lander or parked page

The moral of that story is that the winner of that auction flipped the $3.25 domain they got from me (Bulk average cost break-down) for $467 a year later, making a $464.75 profit (Minus 1 renewal cost).

Not too bad for the winner, huh? Looks like that was @domenfx (That was your reported sale on NameBio right?)

I'm not even going to ask what you profited on the other 7 domains in the 8 domain batch. But then, it was so long ago, you may not remember the sale prices or the other domains since I edited them back out of the list back then once sold.

As you can see, if buying on the lower end of the aftermarket with a goal to resell on the higher end is what you are after, then Namepros is the right place to be looking for something to buy. Just make sure you research it first before pulling the trigger.

I mean, like flipping domains

That's an incredibly broad question.

Here's a good place to get a solid background: https://www.namepros.com/forums/domain-beginners.25/

Good luck!

The forum...

You can register a domain today and sell it for 2x on the same day

I was gonna ask how you undersold? Because it sold for higher tomorrow?

Technically I made a profit. I got it with a $0.99 promo and flipped for $3.25, so, i made a $2.26 profit.

If I had been patient or sold it individually back then, I should have been able to get closer to $25 to $50, which was the average quick flip back then (i only had it for less than 90 days).

They did great flipping it for $467 a year later

My business model back then was about the fast cash and not the best cash. Lol

Where do you sell domain names? Like, how do you advertise that you own a domain and connect with potential buyers?

If you're listing a domain for sale in a domain marketplace somewhere, then it's primarily the members and visitors of that marketplace that will see the new listing.

Some marketplaces also syndicate listings to other marketplaces and publications to expand on the reach of your listing to be seen by more people.

The above is leveraged by those that generally list and wait. They don't like doing any of the pro-active work to generate interest or additional eyeballs.

Then you have those that leverage a sales lander (I prefer NamePros Landing pages because they are more customizable and can be monetized better than most others),

Once on a lander, you can then list your domain in general marketplaces to get some eyeballs on it + you can directly share your domain on your social media media pages, do outbound, leverage traffic generation strategies and other marketing ideas.

Everyone does it differently. It's not one size fits all.

I like to see others succeed, so that would be "Awesome" if they made retirement type monies flipping wholesale domain deals they scored off NamePros

 

[alop]

I think it was a rip off even at 3.25

!!!

 

[Eric Lyon]

I think it was a rip off even at 3.25

• Could you clarify how you feel Alarmable (.com) selling for $3.25 was a rip off?
• For me or the buyer that re-flipped it for $467.00 a year later?

Everyone is happy except the newest buyer looking for their unicorn shiiiii
