I get a few emails (or a lot) asking what I think about names. I think I understand the numeric market as well as anyone in the world but admit I struggle with the 5N.com values. Nine times out of ten the names that people present me are really bad and have no resale. They are names purchased as a result of some sale they saw and they try and get something similar in wording or a different tld. But that’s not how it works, that’s now how any of this works. There is a reason that names sold for what it did and just because you get the dot net doesn’t mean it HAS to sell for a certain percentage. There are general assumptions but that doesn’t make it true. My advice for a new domainer that wants to spend under $100 on a name is to buy a 5 number dot com, a four number dot net, or a four letter dot com. I think they will increase in value and if purchased right might even lead to an instant flip. This is advice and opinion, no guarantees. But I can guarantee your chances are higher than the “domain is pretty close to a name that sold for $4000” method. Here are today’s names.
GrowHair.net Yes its a dot net but NO bidders and a great keyword. Can get your $25 back in one day. 17 years old
QuickAndLegal.com It’s gotta be both for me. Or at least one. 13 years old. A few bidders
GreenHunt.com Not a super valuable name but short and memorable and has green in it. No bidders
ReadingPost.com Kinda of the same thoughts as above. Also 12 years old. This one has a few bidders though
EUIP.com The best LLLL.com on Godaddy today
88Bet.com 88 and gambling go hand in hand. And the all the bids and price show a lot of people think the same
StrawberryPie.com A good brand or a delicious treat
BuyingLeads.com A lot of people are. If you are in the lead business this is a great marketing name. Could sell quickly at Affiliate Summit
Working Godaddy Domain Code of the day. $10 off PURCHASES OF $50 OR MORE ACOSKS65
SiteCreator.com 18 years old. This could be a bargain for someone
Capital.cc My name. I thought it would be a good venture capital name. Nobody agrees. No bidders

FDMC.com 16 years old. C for Corporation

HongShi.com Top bidder getter on the board today
