discuss Would you sell your entire portfolio? How much?

[JudgeMind]

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?

 

[WingMan]

I will consider a $1bn offer very seriously.

 

[BrandEntrance.com]

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

 

[BrandEntrance.com]

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.

 

[DN_Hunter]

Yes, I would turn down a $100,000 offer for my entire portfolio.

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...

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.

 

[Alexaa]

@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).

Haha lucky. My student debt is about £30,000 GBP

 

[wwwweb]

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

p.s. let me use this chance to show my small portfolio so someone might buy it and earn.

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.

 

[toughdomains]

depends on what I paid for each name at this point I personally spent around $70k on names and Im about 15k away from break even while still holding about 70% of my names. If I paid 10 bucks for each name and could sell it for 25 in a few days or weeks i would. however most people arent interested in taking on the cost of the $10k in annual reg fees associated with 1000 names. if i could double my money in a few weeks months or even a year it would all just go back into domains. every time i sell a name i buy more. i would consider selling my entire port for $250k https://bigboxdomains.com/

 

[~ The 34 Year Buzz!!]

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?

$18 Billion ! ??
The Buzz is almost ready to surprise you.

 

[Jv1999]

If someone was buying my whole portfolio for $100 per domain, I would instantly agree.

Because unless your whole portfolio is made up of aftermarket domains that you acquired above $200, most portfolios are handreggae with sprinkles of aftermarkets.

So because only max 1 or 2% sail per year, that means you're making $100 each more from the 98%!! That's huge!

It's all about the numbers. And that's how it works

 

[Mike K]

Interesting discussion.
I have over 1,000 domains, most of them listed for sale, collectively listed for well over $1,000,000.
But thinking about it, yes, I would take the $100,000 cash for the whole lot right now.
I think it's just timing - 2 years ago, I would say I'm holding out for the right price but right now I'd take the cash to improve my cash flow. 6 months from now, who knows.....

 

[Ryan3]

After re-pricing, I would sell most of my portfolio for $50,000

See my profile if interested.

 

[wizard]

simple answer no !

 

[blumutt]

Yeah, I'd jump at $100 per domain for my 250 names. Most are 2 word dot com, with some being brandable.
I'm 73, and want to do something less stressful with the rest of my time.
I really haven't done anything with them, and renewals are a killer unless they work for you.

 

[.X.]

Knowing if I sell my complete portfolio, It will be a domainer purchasing it. I think realistically i would need to sell at $100 a name, that would be a very balanced amount for the + and = factor VS ROI for the buyer, so $100,000

 

[Jv1999]

Man, if you find domaining stressful... then whoah... there are so many fields out there that will blow your mind

 

[lock]

What everyone would like would be a way to hold a percentage for life of a domain. If anyone comes up with this platform we will see a different outlook on domains. Imagine being able to sell but take a margin of earnings.

 

[Ramesh Kumar G]

Portfolios are for Domaining and ultimately they must reach end user.
It depends , if your are selling to an end user or to another domainer who have sufficient network to reach the end user. Right now i have a small portfolio of 21 domains for approx $ 72 each.

 

[poweredbyme]

My bulk discount would be 50 - 75%.
If I had 1000 domains, I would accept 100k only if the total is not above $200k - 400k.

This pricing strategy is for all industries, not only for domain industry. Difference between bulk and retail prices should not differ more than 4 times. Otherwise you can't sell anything, neither one by one, nor as a portfolio. Nobody is stupid, including buyers. Buyers always automatically compare your bulk and retail prices and then make a purchase decision. The difference must be rational and encouraging. Most rational bulk discount is between 50% - 75% , depending on your need for cash.

 

[domainer111]

If I was doing this I think I'd use the Godaddy evaluation tool with a discount applied. I have a lot of belief in this tool, with the proviso that it could make you loose out on outlier sales.

I have about 20 names that I think are way above the rest of my p/f and the Godaddy tool puts these to the top of their evaluation.

Taking Mike Berkens p/f, my understanding is he sold 75,000 domains approx for $35M, around $466 per name, anyone matching that is doing very well as that included lots of LLL etc.

 

[Want2learn]

So basically you are saying what I am saying, but in another words

Asset vs burden...

if you have asset no need to sell it

if you have burden you try to sel it...

Many people do not understand what asset (as financial term) really is...gold, which is sitting in the bank and do not bring you any money, is not an asset...actually, you probably pay some small fee to bank for security box each month...so money are flowing from you wallet, not to your wallet in case of gold ...

If you own apartment, and you do not rent it, you only pay monthly fees...it is an burden
If you own apartment, and you do rent it, and rent is more then monthly fees you pay...it is an asset

No you aren't saying the same things. You are confused I believe. What I do not understand if it is language understanding or conceptual understanding. For example,

You own your home out right. You paid cash for it. You own it. It is an asset. Oh wait, you still have to pay taxes, maintenance and upkeep, home association fees perhaps, utilities, etc. Is it a burden or an asset?

GOLD actually is suppose to back the dollar. Gold is down. It is an asset though. It can go up and down, but you own it so it is an asset. Companies hire workers. Those workers are both assets and burdens . . . which brings me to my next point . . . most assets have a burden to them. If I own a 2 million dollar home outright, it is an asset. If the taxes are high, and I can no longer afford the taxes the home has become a burden. But Im selling my asset and buying something else with the money, probably a cheaper home!

 

[dnviet]

I would sell my portfolio ~ 500 names for $100k
