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?

 

[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/

$18 Billion ! ??

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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

Great thread! I've read trough most of the responses, and while my portfolio is not for sale, I own approximately 1,500 domains like you. Mostly I'm looking for a partner to compliment some of my strengths, and to offset my weaknesses. In that regard, if I were to parse out a thousand of the best domains I own, I'd ask around 50K for 33% of my portfolio which comes to $150 per domain. My domains by themselves aren't worth that much, but the business model/plans behind a half dozen of my domains adds value to the entire portfolio. If you combine that with my business model/plan to sell domains to industry specific "end users", that too adds value to my portfolio.

I think it was member wwwweb who recommended to sell industry specific "mini portfolios", and I agree with his assessment. For instance, I own about a hundred marijuana/cannabis/pot domains that I might ask $200 per domain for, or about a hundred financial services domains that I might accept $175 per domain for.

For anyone interested, I'll be the guy in Vegas wearing my new Virginia Vanity Plates with "Name Guy" on my front and on my back Cheers!

 

[Daniel Owens]

I have domains in my portfolio worth keeping some that I wouldn't even sell for 1 million dollar offer. But, 90% of my domain portfolio assuming it was 1,000 domains I'd offer that for like $800,000.

 

[Recons.Com]

Everyone would sell, it is the matter of profitability and the expected return.

If your portfolio steadily generates $50000/year after renewals and fees and the expected return by you and the buyer is 40%, then your portfolio is worth $50000 / 40% = $125,000.

Now if you want to sell using 25% and your investor wants to use 50%, then you have a bridge to gap, since your valuation will be at $50000/25%=$200000 and your investor will want to pay $50000/50%=$100000.

Good topic to discuss.

If somebody offers what I project to make in 3 years, I'd sell. With more cash at my disposal and more experience in the business, I can build a better portfolio in a year or so, all while pocketing a decent profit.

What would the projection be based on?
