I feel that a case-study needs to have enough interest to keep you reading, but on the other hand posting almost the same every single day is not only boring but probably not so useful either.
I have unfortunately not been able to keep up with bidding every single day, but have definitely still been bidding and mostly losing. Here are all of the auctions that I have lost recently:
I think that some of them are really great domain names. If I had to pick my top 5:
- MaybeMe.com
- CloudHD.com
- Option5.com
- Weebler.com
- RanchKings.com
Have to admit, I was upset not to win MaybeMe.com and did continue bidding way past the $1k mark to buy it for my main portfolio. Had I been in an acquiring and compulsive, instantaneous mood I probably would have carried on bidding to win it. Incredibly brandable. Easy to pronounce and spell. And similar enough, yet also different enough not to be sued to Maybelline which gives it a nice beauty feel to it.
I think that CloudHD.com went for a bargain amount and wouldn’t be surprised if this sells on pretty quickly. I probably should have carried on bidding. HD could be HardDrive or HighDefinition. Both which go really well with Cloud.
So, which domain names did I buy?
summerbreakoutxxx.com $48
zallowxxx.com $277
21mgxxx.com $30
In retrospect, not sure if summer…. was a great buy. But could be good for a movie release.
I really like zallowxxx as it is very brandable and solid and memorable. I was a bit unsure of how this auction was going to go and whether it would go into my case-study or main portfolio, but ended up cheap enough to make sure that the price worked out so that the average would be less than $100 per domain.
21mgxxx was a bit of a punt. But I have actually sold quite a few of these kind of names, so if the right person comes along then could make a pretty good profit.
I am pretty much listing all of these domain names now for $1k. However zaxxx, I’ll put on for $1,500 and see what happens.
So, if you are following along, this is where I now stand:
9 domain names bought for $628
9 domains registered for a total of 9*$19.17= $172.53
Total Spent: $800.53
Total Earnt: $0
Total left from budget: $9,199.47
