I sold another domain through Afternic this week. I talk over the name and the price on Monday’s edition of Domain Sherpa. It was a name that I picked up at auction. Most of my names I sell through Afternic are exactly that. Auction names. None of them cost more than $500 and most sell in the $2800 to $4800 range. And to show you I believe in my picks, unless they are a joke name, or I have second thoughts, I generally buy the names that are on closeout when I get home for work. I do a little bit more homework before I pull the trigger but I get a handful of names each week that make it to closeout. Yesterday I bought two names that I am positive I will make a profit on. PondAid and GrowingDesire. Both dot com. At $12 plus renewal its a no brainer to me. We already sell a product called pond aid and I know from garden center experience that a dirty pond and natural chemicals to clean a pond are our number one sellers in the pond section. As for Growing Desire. Its a positive name, already has a few businesses that would upgrade with the name, is a known term, and would make a good brand for many different things
I’ll have about $40 in the names and I think the names are better than pretty much every name we’ve had in the latest Sherpa portfolios that have been sent it. Maybe I just take my experience for granted but our portfolios are just consistently so bad. There are so many names for under $50 or at closeout that are better and have a higher chance of sale than what they have. I guess its just practice and experience. Like anything, it takes a while to learn how to make money. Here are today’s names. Click through to see the current price and to fund this daily list

If you made a little money off this list and would like to contribute to my work in Iten Kenya. I will be collecting donations for the next few weeks and then I’ll leave you alone. Any amount helps.
WellGroup.com is already taken.
Growing Desire is a good name Shane – nice pickup!
Shane, what’s your portfolio size now?
Shane, re Rock.biz,
What is your opinion of the .biz extension?
I bought Sweet.biz ($12) from your list 2 years ago and it gets lots of traffic and quite a few low-ball offers 🙂
Estibot has that particular keyword in .com at $350,000.
Do you see .biz gaining value?
I remember in one of your posts you said don’t “give away” your one-word key word domains no matter what extension.
