Day 25 – Update on domain names after a break from blogging
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 […]
fiscal.com – Worth over $30k?
I am well past due to update my case study, but this has caught my interest over the last few days. The domain name sale for fiscal.com is on Godaddy Domain Auctions. It currently has 128 bids and the price stands at $30,500. There are still over 5 days to go until the auction finishes. […]
Day 6: A Plethora of Domains
I have been having doubts over the last couple of days about the tactics I have been using in order to buy domain names. Firstly, whether the $100 price point is giving me enough access to domains that I will be able to resell. Secondly, whether I should tighten up a bit on the search […]
Day 4 – Sadly Impressed At My Loss
In short, I haven’t won any more auctions even though I have bid on a load: I’m actually impressed with how many auctions I am able to bid on and not win. I was surprised that virtualtutorials.com and miniwebs.com sold for so much. I’m really not sure who would be buying miniwebs.com as an end-user […]
Day 2: A Result! Domain Name Bought
So, here are the domains that I bid on and lost: You can see with Sprezi.com that I bid less than $50 as I was quite unsure about it, but thought at $50 it was a good punt. croots.com was not part of this case study, but a domain that I wanted for my main […]
$10K Domain Buying Case Study – Follow Along
I have been buying and selling domain names for quite a while. The vast majority of my sales are $3k-$20. I like the price range, as each time I make a sale I receive 2-3 times the amount that I paid when taking into account my fees. So, if I purchase a domain name for […]
3 Letter Domain Names – JFX.com
Updated 12th August: I do love 3 letter domain names. Who doesn’t?! But it is incredibly difficult to value them when on auction more than seeing what others are prepared to pay. The latest 3 letter domain name to appear on Godaddy Auctions Expired list is jfx.com. J and X are fairly weak letters when […]
Calculating Domain Name Evaluation and Appraisal
Calculating the value or ‘correct price’ of a domain name is definitely NOT an exact science. Ask 10 different experts to appraise a domain and you will likely get very different answers and a large range. There are, however, several different factors that can help you appraise the value of a domain and decide how […]
Registering Trademarked Domain Names
A quick definition here… By a trademarked domain, what I mean is a domain name that is clearly the name of another company. For example, if I registered facebooknews.com, then it is clear that I am taking advantage of Facebook‘s brand and actually misleading visitors into thinking that I am in some way associated with […]
Domain Name Appraisal: candyfloss.com
The domain name candyfloss.com has come up for auction on Godaddy Expired Domain Names. There are about 30 hours left and the current bid is $7k. As much of the action on auction sales happens towards the end, I would expect it to reach $10k+ . Will update here with the final price! Until the […]
