I had yet another sale today. I won’t disclose the name yet because we’re in Escrow but of course I will when we’re done. I share because I think it helps others when people share their price and their name. My personal opinion is writing an entire article about a sale and not giving any info about price and name is a waste of everyone’s time. I would share the other one I sold in the last week this week but I am going to wait for DomainSherpa next week because it has a funny twist to it. But I will say I’ve I’ve already sold about $10K worth of names this month which I am extremely happy about because they are all names I bought for a total of less than $200. Probably couldn’t get them near that cheap right now because I’ve had them a while but again, talking about a name without saying the name gets us nowhere so I’ll just wait.
I will say the sweet spot is definitely $2500 to $4000 for a negotiation and the $800 to $1800 range in BIN moves pretty quickly on the lower end names for me. Could I get more for them later? Perhaps. But I think the price is fair for the buyer and I am happy with my profit so that’s all that matters. I haven’t been very good about replacing the numbers in my portfolio though. I have used my sales to buy one word dot coms and LLL.coms. A ten names for one trade. Between that and dropping my bad numerics and my portfolio is back under 400 names. Despite being much less names, the names are much much better than they used to be. But I like having a portfolio of names that I can move for $2K-$3K. Half the reason I am in domain investing is I love the rush of selling names. Even if its for a few thousand dollars. I say just but a few thousand dollars is a lot of money. I can buy a lot of things with $2000 and I never take that for granted. I am heading to Kenya for a while this winter and the tickets are $2K each for my wife and I. Selling the name instantly pays for those tickets. That is a big deal to me. Always will be.
So I want to increase the size of my two word and 5L.com portfolio now. I like the big names because when they do sell it will be a nice payoff. But the smaller names keep the lights on and the party going. But I just keep buying more domains so I never had any money or throw a party.
On another note. If you ever thought Uniregistry was more than a big domain investor that owns a registry then you were mistaken. They compete against you at the auctions (they were the high bidder on most Namejet names I looked at today). They sell their names. They’ll sell yours for a price. They’ll park your names for you along with theirs. They created a great platform to manage their names so why not share it with others. But they aren’t going to give it away. So everyone that joined the party realizes now that you are pretty much just borrowing the services of a nice platform that was developed to be used in house. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Namebright is no different. But you have to know what you are getting. Who comes first. Once you understand your place on the food chain you can make money. The crumbs of Namebright and Uniregistry can be delicious. You just never going to get the center of the Cinnabon. That’s theirs.

Congratulations on your 10k month!
People on Namepros are saying that a good portfolio sells around 1-2% of the domains per year. Would you agree with that?
I think 2% is normal. I look for 4% but have only hit that one or two years
Continued success Shane!
Congratulations Shane, I appreciate your sharing of sales info. I really like portablegenerators.com but am not even going to try to get it because the reserve is beyond my price range.
PortableGenerators couldn’t be at auction at a more appropriate time with the hurricane and all
I agree.
