Taking a look at Monday’s domain name sales action and names that transacted for the second time around. BuyDomains makes a nice flip, Stock.Global from $8,000 to $208.
Sometimes it’s as simple as the name expired and it’s not an end user buying but rather a domain investor. Sometimes it is a sale to another end user. Other times the name even though expired is a bit more trendy and trades at a higher price.
These second time around posts can be used in a variety of ways, sometimes it’s to see the burn down value of a name, what were investors willing to pay for a name an end user once valued so high?
Perhaps it’s to see a great flip, a name acquired on the cheap that was flipped for 10, 20, 100x.
I do like looking at names that were allowed to expire at GoDaddy and then the very next year also expire, how did sentiment change, when just about all the variables are the same.
Hopefully you get something out of them even if it’s just to satisfy a curiosity.

Flops
LoadApp.com sold for $1,000 in November of 2019 and left to expire at GoDaddy auctions on Monday. It closed for $313.

BuildingDoctor.com sold for $2,500 back in 2011 on Sedo, BuyDomains sold it today for $1,500. I think they sold it for someone because looking at whois it does not look like they were the registrant on the name.

Nappy.net third time around not so great, the name sold for $1,670 on Sedo in 2009 and then sold for $1,000 on Sedo in 2011 and closed at $190 at GoDaddy auctions on Monday.
A bunch of 6N.coms did not do as well the second time around, closed exactly one year ago for $900 to $1,350 and one year later closed for half or less.

There is hardly any benefit of acquiring domains in auction these days.
Prices are almost equal to what an end user would pay.
Like Nappy.net .. 7-8 years ago should be much higher
Your Flip?Flop posts are very interesting Raymond. Many thanks for posting.
