Why you should study domain names that DON'T Sell

[Arpit131]

"Something I don’t hear many people talk about though is studying auctions and other listing that DO NOT sell.
Why is this important? Let’s think about this for a second.

If you consistently look at what domain names don’t sell, that should probably give you a good idea of what to stay away from when it comes to your purchases. If you see someone in a forum having a hard time moving a 2 word .info domain name, do you think you should be buying .info domains?

The answer is obvious and it’s something I do all the time. I browse around forums and auctions or even dropped lists of names that were’t caught by drop catchers and I try to see WHY no one wanted this domain name."

I agree with pretty much everything you said.

But I hand-regged many newly expired domains in 2015. Nearly 300.
85 of them have been accepted on BrandBucket. I sold them for an average price of $60.
I have managed to sell around 50 more between $15 and $100.

It might not be big money, but there is still money to be made on volume.

I think hand-reg drops are a good strategy for newbie. At least they are grabbing what they consider "good names" among names that were already registered. It better than a name that was never registered before.

Yes I agree with you. There is still money to be made on dropped names. It's def a tougher process though to dig through lots of names others already looked through and did not find valuable.

Congrats on your success with all of those sales.

Thanks
