IKE’S LIST OF DOMAINS AT AUCTION FOR Tuesday, March 6th

1. I think GD value estimation also could influenced people’s decision.
   bitcoingamblingsites.com had estimated value of $2,106. Maybe something fishy from GD here…

   1. Could be, but I think there’s something in the value estimation algorithm for past sales. So as long as people pay ridiculous prices those names will stay high in the estimated valuation. I don’t even look at their valuation tool.

2. I agree 1000%.
   If you put that domain on up for sale on any social media account, at NamePros forum or even up for auction in your personal inventory at NJ, Sedo etc. I dont think you would even get a minimum bid for it.

   The psychology of domainers still baffles me sometimes. Many lesser domains will go for more money at expiring auctions as they are dropping. Put those same domains in a personal auction at a major auction house and very minimal action if any sometimes. Very weird.

   I like the crypto/coin type names but yeah this ones price point is bizarre at 4 digits already.

   By the way Josh, how is your crypto/coin domain experiment going? I remember recently you grabbed a bunch of random domains with those keywords. I think you put 3k total into them. I am sure YOU will make your money back and then some. You always do with those ballsy multi domain reg moves. Keep us posted brother.

   1. Will do Vito, I sold a couple of coin names the last couple of days, but none that were in that group. Next week I’ll do a post with all the prices I listed them at and an update.

      Since I’ve started the vast majority of my sales are from domains that I paid reg fee. When I “make up” the names I consider that hand regging. If I register them after they drop I consider that “hand catching”. Most people put all of that into the hand reg category.

3. Josh,
   I had a question regarding when you hand register domains (e.g. your crypto domain experiment, etc.) If I’m not mistaken, you registered all of those domains at GoDaddy. Do you find it is worth it to pay a couple of dollars more for hand reg’s at GoDaddy because of Premium Listings, as opposed to paying less at Dynadot or other registrars that might be offering cheaper prices? Thanks.

   1. Adam,
      I think there is value to registering the names at Godaddy just for the premium listing, but it’s actually the best price around unless there’s a special. I probably use namebright more than godaddy if my account has money in it, because I’m getting them for $8.03 when you fund your account, if not the price is 8.53. My normal Godaddy price is $8.47. If there’s a deal like dotster or netfirms used to have for 1.99 I’ll use them, but their systems are so horrible, I’ll only use them if it’s a significant discount.

4. Josh,
   I completely agree with your opinion on bitcoingamblingsites.com but I know that industry and they would pay more than you think to own that domain. Almost every offshore sports book has a media department and one of their jobs is to locate digital assets. I realize this is not a good domain for you or I to buy as an investor but that is a growing sector of that industry. The average new customer who deposits bitcoin with an offshore sports book is worth much more than the cost of this domain. As always the value of a domain depends on who is buying it. I would not be surprised if it is end users bidding on it now. I’m not interested in watching you on national TV but maybe some of the girls in my office might be 🙂
   Cheers
