You’ve heard me say it before but Frank Schilling is buying dot com and high quality dot nets at Namejet at heavy levels. Between him and FIRST it is getting difficult to buy names right now. I haven’t gotten a name in months because I am constantly being outbid. You will not outbid First but you can outbid Frank (or Frank’s employees) but it’s going to cost you. You have to really want it. You won’t beat First. If you do, you probably paid 100% more than you would have if he wasn’t bidding. But don’t let that scare you. We don’t people to stop bidding just because he’s the bidding. He also keeps the comps real high for everyone. Here are today’s names
85206.com No fours and an 8. Should be good for $400 plus
OnlinePrograms.com Calls Apps now but people still get it. Getting a lot of big bids
DFWD.com 14 years old. D for Dynasty
DFWF.com 14 years as well. Little sister to the above
Top123.com You might wonder why this is so high but Asians love 123 and “top” things. Should do well
BuyAPresent.com No bidders. For $12 it seems like a price you could get back with a semi decent buildout
21631.com This one is a little harder for me. No 5s or 8s but also no 4s. I will say over under $400
21869.com This is doing even better than all the rest. I think I see why but dang this gets tough
325H.com I’ve been buying these types of names. Three good numbers and a letter. Haven’t sold any but they seem to get traffic and I usually pay under $25. I’m the first bidder
ExpenseTracking.com Under $100. Worth a whole lot more IMO
FantastyGarage.com I imagine its full of Big Wheels but other people’s fantasy garage’s are probably different than mine
888207.com Only one bid at $12. 888 is sexy enough to overcome the 6 number thing
VUPV.com The Vs at the end haven’t scared anybody lately. Looks like $100 will take it
HoeWorld.com Not sure if I’m going to get a tool for the garden or one for the bedroom. No bids at $10
A GODADDY COUPON CODE: 99 Cent Dot Com Registration. gofdsp401c
DrinkResponsibly.com This one is just begging to be bought by a major beverage company
AffilliateMarketers.com Has a bid at $1000. We all know how much money is in affiliate marketing
Narrators.com Pete Coyote is my favorite. Man can he narrate or read a book. 18 years old
BigPickle.com Ends today. Everyone will want a Big Pickle shirt.
RealBright.com I thought it sounded like a tech name or a tutor company. If you buy this you will be. Has met reserve so somebody is bright.
Weak.net It’s made reserve so after all these years it’s going to a new home
ITAssistant.com It’s been listed one day and already has 7 bids. ITMagazine.com sold on Flippa for $10K
Oppositely.com 8 years old. The owner actually has relevant comps of other LY names and none have gone under $1700
MoodRing.com I like it more as a brand than as a product domain
SEDO’s Live Auctions Going on Now
RomanceNovel.com Do ladies still like romance novels ? 17 bidders think they do
OxyCotton.com You laugh but I guarantee 90% of the people addicted to it think this is how its spelled
7008.net The dot com easily passes $10K and the dot nets are usually in the 5% range. Math, it’s what’s for breakfast

*All names chosen by me, Shane . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything I say is based on my own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or my opinion is correct
Appreciate your narrative – ‘HoeWorld.com Not sure if I’m going to get a tool for the garden or one for the bedroom. ‘
Almost a great tag line, can only imagine the logo…
And if you’re lucky and those two deep-pocketed bidders aren’t in an auction, grab the opportunity…I did that to win a nice generic com in pending delete that I spotted on domainsshane’s big list in late December and got it for a bargain…well IMOit was a bargain lol
First, and Schilling are relentless, I was bidding against the latter and it was a reserve domain at namejet, they would keep bidding to outbid, but not to meet reserve. Name wasn’t even that good.
It is obvious that the gtld sales are stalling out with end users who have no interest, and .com is roaring on so this should provide you indication where the real money is.
First I think is a tech guy who owns many patents, but not sure, he has stupid money to spend, and is paying prices that would make end user sales difficult.
Only thing you can do is make them earn their prize, I guess the AM dial comes at a premium these days.
Honestly there is better value sitting in private portfolios at this point.
Great Post….!!

Oxycotton…”90% of the people addicted to it think this is how its spelled”….lol
The 6 number thing seems to be heating up – I have been watching the drops and about 75% of all 6 numbers are
getting registered. Has anyone else been paying attention to this?
