Domain Shane’s Daily List of Domains at Auction for Sunday July 8th , 2018

Of all the things I’ve learned in domain investing one of the most important one is to keep the cost down by not buying stupid names on a whim.  I still have names that I registered for no other reason than at the time I laughed. I dump a few here in there but some  accidentally get auto renewed,   A few of them I keep because I still laugh when I see them.  Like CarpetLiquors.com and HaveAShittyDay.com but others I am letting go like CutraPersonality or CultraClub.   I have dozens of others that I thought were good at the time. I hand regged GolfWithTrump and while creative, really isn’t going to make me any money.  I am going through my portfolio with a realistic eye and getting rid of the complete junk.  If I am not sure I will put it up at auction.  I will only keep the names that I think have some chance of getting purchased through BIN at Afternic , has value at auction,  or is a five figure name or more.  I feel at this point I know the difference.  I am working through all my longer numerics and letting Godaddy auction them on a no reserve 7 day auction.  If they hit the $20 then off they go.  I don’t want any more 6N.coms in my portfolio.  If anyone wants to buy them cheap from me before I put them all at auction, let me know.  The almost all start with 8 and have one zero in them.   Time to get lean and mean in the portfolio.

Today we switch over to my bidding on Namejet.  I found a few names I really liked at Namejet a few days ago.  One of the best selling tropical plants we sell is Mandevilla.  If you live in Florida you probably know the vine. Comes in a variety of colors and climbs and blooms all the time.  In Illinois it dies in the winter but in warmer places its a perennial.   I have found over the years that popular plant names make excellent brands.   I felt Mandevilla would be such a name.  And the backup is that its a plant that sells in the millions of units.  I bid $350 and like many of my bids, I completely forgot about it.  I was extremely happy when I got the Congrats email saying I had won it at $333.

The other name I bid on was Daggo.  A name right in my wheelhouse of 5L.com and the CV repeating consonant then vowel.   I would have bid up to $200 but put in my bid at $120 and set my timer. I never set my timer unless its a big boy name or a name I want to be a part of the bidding at the end.   I missed the timer.  It went off.  I was with a customer.  I forgot. Again pleasantly surprised when I got the email saying I won at $79.  I can almost 100% guarantee I make money at $79.  Pretty sure I could put it up at auction again and make a profit.

Between the two I consider the day a solid day.  I didn’t sell anything but a good buy helps leads to a good sale.  I think I got some solid buys Friday.   Now on to today’s names up for auction.   If you like the names below, click through to see the current price
