let’s say your portfolio size was 1000 domain names.

Would you sell for regfee$10 each? $10,000

Would you sell for $25 each? $25,000

Would you sell for $100 each? $100,000

Would you sell for $250 each? $250,000

Would you sell for $500 each? $500,000

Whats the least you’d sell your entire portfolio for?

This is a tough decision to make. Obviously everyone’s portfolios are valued differently and everyone has certain domains in their portfolio they wouldn’t want to include.

Would you turn down $100,000 offer?

Excluding my favourites, I'd sell the rest of my portfolio together for the $500 each option.
But I'm only selling about 250 domains.
If I had 1,000 domains for sale I'd probably take the $250 each option.

Are you looking for a portfolio to buy?

After having over 300 names in my portfolio over a year ago, I've only registered select names over the past year or so while selling many of my domains - some to end users, many here on NP, (and some I just let expire) in order to trim down my portfolio below 100. With more sales I'm now at 75 and have a manageable portfolio of (mostly) very good names. If someone offered me $75K for all of them I would consider it.

I won't even begin to add up all of the hours I've spent in domaining ... it's less than minimum wage, that's for sure!

Whether I would consider selling all at once would depend on how much I enjoy domains and find them interesting and challenging. If that waned I would probably sell all cheap to move on.

Even if still was staying in domaining there is always some price each of us would sell at. If for everything in my portfolio probably about $125 per domain for me.

Thanks for the interesting thread everyone!

You are right most domainers work for less than their geo min wage once they really add up how much time, and expenses they have into it. That is why many people from overseas have been able to thrive in this industry. We are seeing more call centers being turned into spam centers as a $400 sale would not do much for you, but for others it is a good months salary.

The people that have the money to buy portfolios are extremely selective.

My portfolio is a monopoly if I sell it together. However I would consider an early retirement $xxxxxxx Most portfolios are worth less as a whole but with mine many names compliment the next.

No offense but this thread kinda seems pointless since of course everyone has some price they'd sell out at. Without seeing the quality of domains it all means nothing.

I've personally had decent luck buying smaller portfolios. I also once sold a large chunk of my portfolio (~ 5000 lower quality domains) - and then turned around and reinvested a chunk back into a smaller portfolio of premium quality domains which also turned out really well.

Anyone who thinks they actually want to sell out, go ahead and post a link to your portfolio. Anyone interested can make you an offer - who knows, maybe someone will cash out right here! That would be interesting to see!

I would ask for $1000 for all my domains and quit domaining 😂

I would sell but not for those prices. I mean, everybody has their price but those were not mine.

I am willing to sell mine for $100,000

955 domains ---- 1800web.com

What do you guys think?

Thanks for your feedback.

That's a steal. But if you sank all the prices you would get more so I don't really get it at all.

Yes, I would consider selling my entire portfolio of Domain Names for the right offer - All Domain Names are listed in my Market Place (see signature).

NOTE: Knowing myself, if I sold my current portfolio, I would probably start all over again building a new Market Place with mostly the same types of Domain Names. It's a great hobby with some added financial benefits depending on making the right purchases...


Portfolio Info (ALL ~Numbers Approximate):
-Package would include my Market Place Domain Name

If someone bought my domain portfolio, they could have my domain sites too. I could pay off my student debt and focus on building my main web projects.

@Ryan3 damn your debt is huge :D :D

In my country(Serbia), students pay $5000 for four years of faculty education(if your grades don't suck, you won't pay anything because country will sponsor you).

This is actually a good example the only value is the 4L.coms, Tesla is a TM, the rest are a liability portfolio in renewals. It would be considered a negative portfolio to purchase as your renewal are most likely to outweigh any sales. You would lose a thousand, before you make a thousand.

Very nice outline, But chips have fallen in price from $2500 to $400-$600... you should have unloaded all the jargon ones in 2016.

When Endurance bought BuyDomains they paid $28 per domain for the domain portion of the business. The overall deal $45M, if you want to put the whole business into the over sale price it worked out to $47 per domain.

It is not a choice whether you sell or not, this market is very limited, and a sale usually happens when someone wants a total exit, and which point the buyer has a strong advantage.

I would recommend people group their domains into sectors, or categories then sell them in mini portfolios to dozen people instead of one.

Thanks for the input. I like it.
