I just love watching The Domain King troll domain investors. Yesterday’s appraisal post was a perfect example. He makes fun of appraisals and how naive domain investors are in asking them or relying on them. Yet the comments are completely full of people seeking his appraisal. The only thing worse is the “Post a domain for sale” post in which 99.9% of the names are terrible and/or priced ridiculously. What truly ruins it for everyone is when a domain actually sells. It ruins it because now there is some confirmation that it might actually leads to a sale. Which results in another post
If you want info look at some completed sales. Yesterday’s reported sales at Sedo had some good names. Firehose.com at $35,000 reemphasized that single word dot coms are skyrocketing in price. Probit.com was nice. The “bit” part got it to $15K and from talking to friends this actually has been the sweet spot $15-20K for bitcoin and crypto names that have chain,bit, or coin and short. I’m sure MediaOptions could add some zeros to that thought.
I’ve had some some success selling names at Afternic using BIN. A few a month with my sweetspot being $1500 to $2K . Yesterday’s name was AmericanRooster for $1581. I bought it for under $30 a few years ago. Names like this have been selling well for me. Easy to spell, two word, dot coms. They aren’t home runs but they have been giving me an extra $5K each month to put back in to more names which are some nice singles. And every time they sell it reminds me to add in all the names I’ve purchased recently that I haven’t put in to Afternic. Off to do that now. Here are today’s domains. Hope you find a good one.

Godaddy Domains That I Like With Multiple Bids
ZapBikes.com Old company merged with something else and formed new name. Didn’t see a trademark for it. 1996 name
WeeklyPress.com Start your own fake news site
WallStar.com Godaddy gives it a $7,000 valuation which will most likely give people confidence that may or may not be due
RongChuang.com As expected is already at $5600K

I think he has to publish a book rather than posting same things over and over again. I see no benefit in seeing how stupid people are. There will always be people like that in every industry that are looking for lottery wins and there will always be people making mistakes but learning and shifting.
Yes it is funny and we laugh everytime he posts but at the end makes no sense for the one that really wants to learn.
Fatih,
He’s run out of things to talk about after two weeks 🙂
That appraisal post was a real stinger. Knew if I put my finger in that cage, it would probably get bit.
Agree 100% Steve.
Got stung myself in the middle there when all i was really trying to do was direct people there for some appraisals. Newer domainers do need to see that from our domaining veterans sometimes. Hopefully some do learn and save some $ thinking every crappy domain is an instant winning lottery ticket.
.
I did read post in its entirety and still believed his title and opening paragraph, that he was in fact this one time giving appraisals. Its a shame because it really could have been useful to those that are seeking a little direction. Jokes on me i guess.
.
Shane, the complex formula you used for sales price of AmericanRooster sale made me lol.
Shane — Congrats on selling AmericanRooster for $1581! That’s an interesting price to set for a BIN. Could you share how/why you set the BIN at that amount? (instead of $1488, $1499, etc). Thanks!
Carl,
That is a very good question. It comes down to a mathematical formula combined with a personality valuation based on certain categories. Oh wait, never mind. I actually used my room number from back in college 🙂
Oh snap…I can’t remember any of my room numbers from my college days! 😉
Carl,
You didn’t give your room number out enough then 🙂
Didn’t need to! 🙂 During my senior year, I had the best dormroom (located next to the stairwell). The room# was 3E41. Since that # sucks, I will have to develop a new mathematical formula instead! 😉
