I had my first results via DropCatch and overall I think it went well. I got crushed on 888733.com and sold it at a big loss. I knew it was coming so its not Dropcatch’s fault. I bought way too high. But Weed.cc went well and I made a little money on it. $500 or roughly 40% for 2 years work. Not the best but if I can do that 1000 times I’ll be happy. Actually I would take 100 times. I realize that profit is what pays the bills but since this name was paid for two years ago, the revenue goes straight back into the kitty (minus taxes) and I have all the money to put back into names. I do things a little differently than most. I use the revenue I create from my domain names to buy the next names. No sales, no income from the blog, no purchases. Some times I have to wait weeks to buy a name. Most domain investors are too addicted to wait weeks and put some of their bill paying and savings back into their domain purchases. I don’t and so I have to wait. I also like to keep a buffer in my account and if it gets below that I don’t buy a name.
You know that old saying “when something great comes along you don’t have the money and when you have the money nothing great comes along”. Well, I’m going to have the money when something great comes along. At the time I bought trunk.com my buffer number was a bit lower than it is now. I had been talking to the people for years but when they were ready to sell they came quickly. Fortunately, I had it and I spent it. It worked out well. And I’ll be ready if it comes around again. I don’t have to spend it. I won’t spend it unless its something very special. I dipped into it to buy Uncomfortable.com and Dustpan.com last month so I haven’t done much buying in August. But I’m having a great month and my kitty should be flush if it keeps it up for the next 10 days. Money management is the key to gambling and investing. I was terrible at it for 45 years. Now that I’ve gotten better at it I understand why its so important. Here are today’s names. Click for most recent price

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. I Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by me, Shane or Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything I say is based on my own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or my opinion is correct. I hand choose my names but I am paid to make this list by the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good
Can we safely assume BUQE is pronounced “Tim”?
So when can we start putting our names with dropcatch ? i think more chinese use dropcatch than godaddy or am i wrong ?
Your transparency is remarkable. Thanks for sharing.
Stu,
Not sure but as soon as I know I will put it up
Tony,
The point of this site was to share the journey so that’s what I’m doing. Leaving out parts is like telling half the story
