Not sure what’s in the waters but I’ve received more inquiries for my domains in the last two weeks than I’ve had all year. And they’ve been strong . Six months after pulling my 10 to 20 names off a Brand and Logo domain type sales site, I have sold 2 with one more about to close. One at less the price I had listed and one for 50% more. But I didn’t pay the 30% commission or the logo fee so I made thousands more than I would have having it listed. Again, it’s nothing against brand domain sales platforms. Its just the commissions are ridiculous for what you get and you get absolutely no data. DNS gives me parking revenue and I get to sell me name for free. The only way anyone could ever convince me to list it with a third party logo site is if they could give me concrete proof that a high percentage of their sales were from visit that are 2nd page or deeper i.e. searching, looking, and buying. I think they came up with a name, typed it in, and then bought it. Not came up with a name, landed on the site, and found a better one. Again, I have no proof but nobody has given concrete evidence to the contrary. If they do I will certainly post it and give them credit where credit is due. In the meantime I’m keeping the 30% and selling more names because of the negotiation flexibility. Here are today’s names
WKPQ.com One of the few older LLLL.coms (19 years old) to also be a good Chinese name. It’s old because its a TV/Radio domain that just happens to have a K and a Q
NaughtyBird.com No bidders. Not sure if has any value but I would buy the app for 99cents. Seeing a game like flappy bird except the bird has a big dong and you have to keep him from hitting things with it.
SelectiveFocus.com Great blog name. Only one bidder. I have it, your wife says you do to
BeautyShack.com No bidders. Upgrade name for a few companies
WMJS.com A lot higher than I thought it would be. Old radio name as well
KWDS.com And one more. I’m guessing all the bids have nothing to do with radio
CreativeLeaf.com Two word domain that would make a great brand. No bidders
CandyPeach.com Also 12 years old and no bidders. Peach is the world’s favorite fruit smell. I saw that on Family Feud
OnlinePregnancyTest.com “just pee on the keyboard and get instant results” And you know they will
FenceGuys.com A lot of companies with this name. Upgrade name and just one bidder
679333.com The triple letter 6N.coms are killing it
VERIFIED GODADDY COUPON CODE: $1.99 New Registration Godaddy STATE
FatBurn.com Doing amazingly well. Can’t believe it hasn’t met reserve at this price
Grunge.com So much more than an era of music. Great one word brand
Neuter.com Still Reek
Bowl.net Nobody likes it but me. Can’t even get to $100 And the owner doesn’t want to sell it to me cheap for some reason
SEDO’s Live Auctions Going on Now
Quarry.net I work with several quarries and I know that a few of these would buy this one at the right price. Only 9 10 bidders
PlanoHomes.com Best football in Texas. Big homes, big money, all white
Labs.com Screams tech and dogs
GCCA.com 18 years old
Illustrated.com Most bids on the board
Shadows.com The plural throws me off a little but doesn’t seem to bother anyone else. Tons of bids
MarketingClass.com Everyone wants to learn to sell. Half is learned, the other half is experience
PropertyPrices.com As good of a name as Zillow
RepossessedHouses.com Like dropping domains, everyone thinks they are getting a steal buying a repossessed home
