A month into the new gTLD introduction and I am still the proud owner of none. At this point I see no reason for me to own one. There are so many other ways make money in domain investing at this point I see no reason to buy any. I don’t need them to diversify. I have no worries about missing any boats. I am doing fine flipping other categories. Therefore I don’t waste any time looking or reading. Honestly there is more money flipping 5 number dot coms that new gTLDs. But I’m not doing that either, for the same reasons mentioned above. I’ll just keep doing what I’ve been doing all along. Working my niche until I can’t work it any more. Here are today’s names
i87.com Short and memorable. 15 years old. Sounds like a BMW model
TinyGarden.com Great gardening brand. I have plenty so I’ll share this one with you. 13 years old. No bidders. And if you don’t want it I guess I will take it. Ok, I couldn’t wait. I started the bidding. I’ll take it at $12
Enriching.com Not a word we use often but still a positive word that would make a nice brand. 12 years old
BuyCredits.com Not sure what the credits will be for. Carbon, time, or online
PussNBoobs.com My favorite Dreamworks movie. But it may not be DreamWorks now that I think of it.
BuyCarbon.com I know the name was registered for carbon credits but carbon fibre is a HUGE market and if I’m a seller I want this name
CivilDuty.com No bidders. I think it’s a nice political name
92976.com Every day I am more amazed what these things are going for
SuccessAcademy.com Lots of fake diplomas out there from this place
NEW!!!! Working Godaddy Domain Code of the day.. $.99 cent new registration Dot Com GOFD4004HE
Landess.com 17 years old. Very popular name and hundreds of companies share the name as well
Gallard.com Same here but on a smaller scale
Zeeo.com Good brand. Not a great acronym but still tons of value here
9666.net Price has already moved high but only 22 bidders
0281.com I get a little sick to my stomach when I see these prices. And yet I feel like they will keep moving up
0364.com Here’s another. Has a 4 but that really only takes off a little now
ZigZags.com Probably selling at record levels
777.asia If you want to roll the dice on the tld, this is as good of a feeler as you’re going to get
8847.net Dropping so get your bid in at several different places if you’re interested
And In Case You Missed Yesterday’s Book of 10
Aunts.com and Uncles.com (auction) Great names for branding. Everyone knows how to spell them and certainly memorable. A family history site or some boys vs girls websites would work well.
Ganja.io Combining the hot marijuana with the startup tlds of choice and you have a pretty memorable domain. I don’t need to tell you about Colorado and the other states that are going to follow. I’ll throw in a bag of doritos to whomever buys this
Matzos.com You want to own the category? Here you go. Almost every grocery store has a section that has matzos so somebody must be eating them
89848.com There has been no category of domains that has appreciated faster in 2014 than 5N.coms. This one has three 8s perfectly spaced. While nothing is guaranteed, if the past year’s history has any worth, most likely what you pay at this auction will be less than it goes for in the next auction
SolarKit.com ($5K, Escrow split 50/50) 83 million results for Solar Kits on Google tell you that millions are converting to solar power. And most people want the whole kit. Not just a panel. They need the panels, cables, converter, and storage. aka the kit.
Kayaking.org (auction) 16 years old, DMOZ listed. Used to be a kayaking blog for many years with posts from people all over the world. Blog content can come with purchase if new owner desires. A great opportunity for a quick buildout
Stoner.co (auction) There is no hotter market than marijuana right now. Look at Google Trends and you’ll see that the word “stoner” is at all time high. You know what’s not high? The price at the time of this posting.
WyomingRealEstate.org ($2K) Thousands of listings in Realtor dot org for Wyoming and this one doesn’t have the trademark issues of Realtor names. Take 10% off any of the other names on the list by mentioning you saw it here.
BlueOrPink.com ($1399) Great Gender Reveal Party name. Comes with logo and tumblr site. Buy any two names on the list and get 50% off a third. Buy three and get one FREE
Sai.com The price may reach a new record for an LLL.com on Namejet
And since the list sold out I will have to put a couple of my names here
FreshCutFlowers.com ($5000) Let Bill McClure make you rich with this name
Santa.cc (Make Offer) Andrew Rosener bought the dot com and is going to do great things with it. Buy the name that is easier to type
ImTooFat.com ($500) Because most of the world is
Textn.com $1000 I hear texting is going to catch on
Have a name at auction and need more exposure. Send me an email. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details. *All names chosen by me, Shane, and the goal of this list is to have all links be paid through commission . (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.
Agreed. If we can see gTLDs producing millions of new domain owners who may one day want to upgrade to .com, then there’s no reason why we should not focus all our energy on .com.
>>I get a little sick to my stomach when I see these prices. And yet I feel like they will keep moving up<<
LOL Shane, I guess you feel you sold too early. Frager had a link to this excellent article The Secret Messages Inside Chinese URLs
that helps to explain the demand for numeric domains:
