discuss Who is the BEST domainer at NamePros?

[dnsgeni]

To much of the advice on this forum is coming from people like me, who don't know shit.
So creating a directory of users who have found success would be helpful for does who desire to do the same.

So In terms of achieved sales and current domain estate ownership, who do you consider to be one of the most successful domainer at NamePros?

 

[dnsgeni]

Everyone does their best with the capital they have at their disposal

I like this^ So who are some users who you consider have done this?

Imo, no domainer, best or not the best under whatever methodology, cannot know everything... The forum itself has a lot of useful info though - cumulative knowledge (sort of). In particular, any new member looking for info should visit and read Warning and Alerts section among others: https://www.namepros.com/forums/warnings-and-alerts.90/ . There are a lot of things to read, including alerts of 2018/2019. Unfortunately, we are not in paradise, and many antiheroes are still "in business".

Yes, but my point was that they mostly do it for their willingness to share and not for their desire to show off. Too optimistic?

I pointed you to two professional domain investors who are willing to share their results each year. Any 'showing off' is one's own interpretation, which may not reflect reality.

Your misunderstanding me. Yes, I listen to it. It was good. Thank you.

This thread quickly went off hill and my clickbate title is mostly who to blame (my bad). I asked for people to list users with the most successful porfolios / porfolio sales, yet everyone decided to answer the quastion of "what makes a good domainer"
and
"who is the best namepros contributer".

Well, the problem is you asked a highly subjective question.

Define what "best" means.

So do people just read the title and start commenting at this forum? I defined it. I feel gaslighted xD

There are many Excellent Domainers here on NP. I don't know what is their portfolio size(though some of them mention link in their profile) or how many they have sold unless they have reported here, still to judge a domainer's success by it, is bit difficult. At least for me, as I am no expert. Still learning the ropes.
But I find many Domainers Excellent, Interesting, Very knowledgeable, Detail Oriented, To The Point..... Many of them are already here commenting in this thread.
Even when some domainer makes blunt, caustic, tangential remark, still there is something to learn from it.
One of the Best Detail Oriented Domainer, with Insightful Blogs is @Bob Hawkes.

I made a new thread, that got more clarity to it.

Sorry for wasting many peoples time and attention here.

Admins close thread please.

I give it to Mr. @Bob Hawkes. I have learnt so much from his articles

The one who can make a at least $500 profit from a handreg.

There is no benefit into prying into others business other than making note of current inventory in order to create future business. Bit like getting picked up and asked occupation before name. Anyone can mismanage at any point as there is more to it than buying good names.

Id have to say anyone who contributes here and is putting in the time,may not know everything ,but their advice even if not too correct will bring others to add to the subject and help all. So there. In my opinion Bob Hawkes is one of the top of the list ,he constantly educates and suggests powerful tools and lists to help everyone. Unlike other shows that were more popular and have changed ownership and moved away from domains ,and wont share secrets ,bob lets out all the stops and is humble even though he does not flaunt his skills like others in the industry. AKA

wont share secrets

What domains did you recently buy it may give insight into your way of thinking and get on board. If you keep your secrets that is okay also.

Yes, Bob Hawkes distinguishes himself as top notch. The "Best Domainer," IMHO, is the individual who helps others be at their best.

The best domain investor is the owner(s) of HugeDomains.

No one comes even close. They single-handedly own over 35% of all names listed for sale at Afternic. And they are probably bigger than the next 5-10 whales combined.

Best would be subjective.
Most profitable would be quite easy to determine (if we knew everyone's financials, spoiler alert: we don't).

Many people, including yourself, have mentioned domainers with large portfolios. Are they the most successful? See the above. But FYI, with enough money, you could buy 500,000 domains today. You would hold the most domains, are you suddenly the best?

Additionally, many of the large portfolios, and people with the biggest sales, had the foresight to start early. They had the ultimate advantage of being able to hand-register one word names or at least to buy them cheap. Does that make them the best? Maybe. At this point, the people who own large portfolios have teams, bots, and connections. So they still have the advantage, even today. But all is fair, so does that make them the best?

Then, there are people who don't have the largest portfolios, but struck gold by taking risks on new TLDs that came out at the time. Like .io or .xyz. Are they the best?
