discuss Your biggest regret of 2015?

[Constantin S]

As 2015 almost finished and I'm sure most of you have regrets...
My regret is not taking action in .xyz frenzy
What is yours? Let it out...

 

[NamesCost]

I regret regret.

 

[fhassan]

sold 5-6 6N contained three 8's without 0,4 for just $11 or something each in june or july

Ask me in January - there's still 30 days to screw things up even more...

But for now - buying brandables when I could buy more liquid names.
Also - not selling LLLL.orgs when they were $50+ (but still hoping for a rebound)
And buying too many LLLL.co

Maybe you will be lucky within few days with those LLLL.co's

 

[RU]

I could have registered robo(.)xyz for $1

 

[djum]

My regret is that I could rise my range to $100. Then I would have several thousands LLLL.coms ....

^This. I'm sure a lot of members can share it.
Had this idea in March to buy some LLLL.com. Set up a target price of $25 per and scored couple, but most were slipping by someone who pay few dollars more, $27, $32.
By overpaying few dollars then now they have won hundred of dollars. Lesson learned, if you believe this domain is valuable, don't be afraid to overpay for it. Value > price.

i've sold too cheap LLLL.com for $31

 

[bluebox]

Maybe you will be lucky within few days with those LLLL.co's

Why, do you have some inside information?

I have a lot of CP but also CVCV / VCVC with multiple potential end users - many had "offer view" at SEDO.
I mean if someone sees LLLL.com for $xx,xxx, .net for $x,xxx and most other extensions taken they could decide to go with .co for $xxx (my BIN is at $995 with a choice to make an offer)

Was away from domaining for 2-3 years. Saw 200+ offer on a couple of chinese premiums in early May, which had Y in it. Thinking that it's not a premium (then - 2-3 years ago), accepted the offer. Should have waited for 3-4 months on those.

 

[Soofi]

I am #blessed :D

 

[Ceejaye]

Not joining Namepros when I first learnt about it in 2008

 

[Wara]

1. didn't renew my 4 LLLL.com and 1 5N.com this year....
2. just found namePros after 3 year of domaining

 

[SHINOJ G.S]

Sold a great LLLL.COM for $ 125 earlier this year

 

[hugegrowth]

Not loading up on Chip .com, .net and even .xyz and .cc. I thought .xyz would be one of the new gtld's that failed, to be honest.

In the second half of 2015 I've loaded up more on Chip letter and numeric .co, hoping they catch on in 2016. Surprising that .club, .xyz, .cc are doing so well and .co (the one closest to .com) doesn't have a big aftermarket yet. My gamble of 2016 is Chip .co

 

[London555]

Not finding more names like eEconomist.com that we bought. Im sure they're out there somewhere at a decent price.

 

[NameOffice.]

Not knowing my customers better.

 

[EzySpot]

My biggest regret is being a newbie in this domain thing. I should've done this years ago. I just realized the potential of this business...damn..

 

[Domain Shane]

Thinking that when my wife said "buy whatever the hell you want" really meant I could buy whatever I wanted

Manhattan dot org was available to hand reg in my cart lying for 3 days. Didn't reg. Noticed it was taken up next week.

 

[Name Trader]

My biggest regrets in 2015 are because of actions taken in 2014. Selling a bunch of crap LLLL.COM for $X (who knew they were CHIPS), or better ones (all English premium) for $xx, and dropping all of my more than 50+ LLL.net (which, btw, never got any offers on NamePros).

 

[dollarfield]

I will regret mistake for some more time.
I missed Chinese craze one by one and never invested. First it was 5n, then 6n and then 7n com. Some suggested me to invest 5n nets later still I did not pay heed. Similar thing happened with 4l net chips and 5l com. Some of my friends made a killing from this craze. I was left out. Hope to amend in 2016.
