No crypto talk today, well maybe a little domain related crypto talk. I’ve been selling names with “coin” in them like they’re going out of style, as well as a sale yesterday with the word “chain”. No crazy prices, the range is from around $599 to $2400 retail, with a few $59-$200 wholesale at Dropcatch.
Reading the comments from Shane’s post yesterday, Jeff stated he thought it might be better to invest in Crypto right now than in Domains and that he was having trouble selling his portfolio wholesale. It could be true for Jeff that crypto would have a better return than domains, I’m not sure what his situation is.
There are several points we can take away from this concept. First, there are so many variables in domain investing that I have trouble comparing it to any other industry, especially block chain tech and all it’s intricacies.
Obviously we can make correlations in domain sales to other events like the strength of the economy, but since each one of these little bastards is unique unto itself, we’d have to judge each and every name on it’s own merits and then throw timing and exposure into the mix. If we did all this then we might be able to start comparing domains to other industries.
Selling domains at moderate retail prices is the best way to gauge the overall strength of a particular domain niche(IMO). For example, if I sell drone or vr names in the aftermarket that’s great, but I know I’m selling to the domaining crowd and selling into speculation. Niche speculation isn’t confirmed until I start seeing numerous examples of these names being bought on platforms geared to the end users.
I can take the data in my opening paragraph and have reasonable confidence that the crypto/coin space is going somewhere based on the spike in retail sales. Maybe it’s just short term, but there’s definitely momentum in the niche.
Another thing to consider is the way we bandy about the term “investor”. I think we need to make a distinction between “seller” and “investor”. Not that we can’t be both, but if your names don’t sell for minimum wholesale prices, then more than likely they should be classified as product inventory, rather than an asset class of an investor. There’s nothing wrong with being a seller and carrying inventory, I categorize most of my portfolio as product.
Making the distinction between product and investment might help you sell more names as you will learn to set prices accordingly. The thing with investment domains is that you don’t need to sell them. You can carry them as long as you want because they have value as an asset that should/could appreciate. You will normally be able to get a decent price for them as long as your not trying to make bail, or if the timing is right you could score a big payday.
So to sum in all up, selling domains and investing in domains are two different things. Making this distinction can be helpful. Jeff, I’m not picking on you, rather I thank you for giving me something to write about. I think it’s a bad idea to try and liquidate your 4500 domains to move into a completely different, risky, investment instrument that you admittedly don’t know much about. I think you should focus on the minimum $36K you’ve put into domains, sell some for reasonable retail prices, then take that money and experiment with crypto. Just an idea, good luck.
