Business is business. Its a saying my Father always said and I always got why he said it. It’s not personal its only business. But it is personal. When you run a business your decisions go way beyond whether you make money or not. As an owner your decisions effect their life, their income. You get to pick salaries, you choose the bonuses, the incentives, the amount of hours they work. Sure they can go and find a job elsewhere but as long as they work for you they have a lot riding on your decisions. Its something I don’t take lightly. When the business gets bigger you can throw a level of management in between but in a small business its not there. This time of year is that time of year for me. The time where we get bonuses and raises and I look each person in the eye and discuss how we think they’ve done and vice versa. Having them tell us how we’ve done as a company is also a way to get better. All this is why I laugh when people talk about building out their domains. Most really have no idea what building a business is. Putting up a website and writing content is not a business. Its a product. There is so much that goes in to a business and most people can only handle one at a time. Two, if you have good people helping with one of them. Most people in domain investing don’t posses the skills to run a business. Many have the money, the intelligence, just not the skills. Hell, I’ve been doing it 80 hours a week for 20 years and I’m not sure some days how great I am at it. The one thing I do know, everyone has the ideas. Ideas are a dime a dozen. (And Ike your idea was great, you don’t apply here) Here are today’s names. Click for current prices.
.
RSDK.com CHIP but not a bad German premium. Just kidding, not sure what a German premium is. 18 years old.
.
WebsiteMechanic.com Great name for a company that works on websites. Deserves more bids IMO. At $20 at press time
.
MCPC.net 17 years old. If you’re going to buy LLLL.net buy names like this that have a good chance of being used but an enduser just in case.
.
MCLN.com This one had great value even before the Chinese moved in. $2K would be a great buy on this one IMO.
.
FMFT.com Not as good as the above but still a very nice Western premium.
.
HR4.com The 4s not stopping the price. Old price floor used to be $750. I think its more like $1K now but I haven’t been paying attention. I’ll start and let you know
.
VCCG.com V at the beginning work in the English language. Plenty of uses there. Gets tougher the more it goes to the right. The double C is very sexy though
.
GDGN.com Fantastic name. Already past $4K and worth it IMO.
.
IWWB.com Not going to get a great price because of the I but I think an enduser will pay much more than you would get for CHIP on this one
.
1188111.com Yes, a 7N.com has the most bids on the Godaddy board today. And I actually really like it.
.
1133111.com Might as well buy both. Just 55 off of each other and THAT is really lucky
.
XGSM.com X is kind of a placeholder to me when its in the front. Unless its with the S i.e. XS = excess
.
BuildApp.com Remember that think I said about ideas. There is always a need for someone to be paid to make it become reality
.
208877.com Two pair. Beats a lot of numeric hands
.
22950.com I like the round, the Chinese don’t like the zero. Unfortunately, they win
.
00348.com Evidently if you just throw an 8 at the end it will make them happy. Double the price of the above
.
873366.com I have to admit the double numbers are much easier to remember. I wish my phone number was this easy. Not that anyone knows it anymore
.
YMNB.com Just pushed through the $2K mark. Young men N boys. Hoping that’s not the final end user
.
2277222.com A lot of twos for a few hundred dollars
.
2288222.com I like this one a lot better. 8s and all,
.
2299222, 2255222 also up for auction
.
10162.com This is the same price I bought 4228 ( think that was it) 5 years ago.
.
URPM.com The vowels are still a discount in my opinion. I’m a seller of Vs and a buyer of vowels
.
855500.com I like saying 5 hunded while saying hunded real fast. Makes me sound young and cool
.
998488.com Yeah, I know…4. I like it anyway. Under $40 at press time
.
657.biz Coming up in a few days. I am trying to figure out what has more value. NNN.biz or NNN.xyz, any guesses?
.
Special Domain Shane ONLY Coupon…….. CODE IS DDCDS2015 – Good 30% off Discount Domain Club to get the lowest renewal prices Godaddy offers (DDC)
.
BloodPressure.net Everyone has it. Not everyone knows it. Learn them a little. Under $150 at press time
.
MastersDegree.net Same seller as above. They have some solid dot nets. Big Pr (5) , Big CPC here but not a big bid
.
WPD.net Another dot net from the above. As good of a LLL.net as there has been this month
.
JUP.com It’s domain holdings so take that for what its worth. Meaning it will take a nice bid to get it out of their hands. Good price now though
.
ICT.com Same here and I imagine a little more expensive
.
XNNW.com Can’t imagine the reserve isn’t close. Nice name but the bid is getting near the average of the week. But this one is above average
.
RKKH.com Not as nice as above but a CHIP and in high demand.
.
14N.com 32 bidders . People really want this one
.
88CN.com I would have thought this would be doing even better. I have tried to buy 88LL.com domains for years and the owners all are Chinese and usually want a fortune. This one even has CN for China. Yet such a low price
.
GXZR.com Flew past the $2K mark. Lots of Chinese favorites in the 4. I don’t think we settle below $2K for CHIPs. I think its a nice round number that people will be using as the basic price.
FOR OTHER GREAT NAMES FOR SALE MAKE SURE TO VISIT CAX.COM
.
RedHen.com Pretty sure my Grandfather took me to this restaurant for breakfast. 19 years old. The domain, not the restaurant
.
AppleMotors.com No bidders. If Apple does start a car company this is going to be a highly sought after name’
.
Avocados.net Big enough product to make the dot net valuable. I just started liking avocado. Not sure what took me so long
.
Fadn.com Fade in or Fadden , either way there are a lot more bidders than I thought there would be
.
ETTT.com I’ve always had a thing for triple repeaters. I looked back in my old emails and saw I had bought and sold four or five of them back in 2008-2010. Worth a little more now. Not as much difference as you would think though
.
LYLL.com Another pattern in high demand. No vowels or V here so I would expect $3K plus
.
WDWA.com Bad CHIP great WHIP. A for association and cash money down the road
.
