Over the last few days I’ve been spending extra time doing two things. Making sure my names are listed on Afternic. And putting BIN prices on all but my best names. If you have the money to buy and hold forever hoping you will be the next Rick Schwartz then you can do that. For me, it has become obvious that you can’t just sit and wait for offers. The most important thing you can do is get your name into the search box of as many people as you can. Type in or search, you want the potential buyers to know your name is for sale and the opportunity to buy it. As simple as it sounds, I can go to almost everyone’s portfolio and find a ton of names that are just sitting there with no path to purchase.
I have not done a great job of it and every time I see Josh selling a name it reminds me I need to do that as well for all my names. Sedo, Godaddy, Afternic, Efty. You need to be listed at all of them. Efty for landing and no commission, Sedo because people still search for names there. Afternic and Godaddy because more people register names there than anywhere and your name will pop up with a price when someone types it in. I don’t even mind that places like eNaming list my name likes its their own when people search. Because I own the name and if she gets a good buyer I still win.
There is certainly an art to pricing but not as much as people like Mike Mann will make it seem. There are psychological price points. Industry price points. And lots and lots of guessing. Historical data will help guide and people like Huge Domains have tens of thousands of sales to help guide them on pricing. If I find a name of similar quality I will price my names similarly. Mostly because I’m lazy and its easier. That, and the fact I’m usually pulling a price out of my ass. Might as well pull it out of theres. Here are today’s names. Click for Current 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 . (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
Pricing my domains is probably my biggest roadblock at this point … even worse … I think I’m just informed enough to know that as you said .. pretty much everyone pulls a price out of their ass! lol
Super hard to find the balance between not underselling / leaving money on the table vs actually selling your domain because someone didn’t find it too expensive!
