October 16, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 3 Comments

But there is a cutlery brand named Shun. The domain was registered since 1996. Estibot valuing it at $170,000. Not much on Archive.org in […]

Second time around for CNOT.com 11226.com and LushGarden.com prices lower

October 12, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 3 Comments

What a difference a year makes, I have seen it quite often in 2020 a 5 or 6 number .com that went for a lot more at auction just one year before. 11226.com closed at GoDaddy auctions in 2019 for $9,280. This year it closed for just $1,513. 2020 has seen far fewer 5N.com sales […]

“where do “they” get these preconceived notions that domaining is easy?”

October 9, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 1 Comment

Monday I wrote a post about one domain investor throwing in the towel on domain investing. The post has gotten a fair bit of engagement and a good discussion on Namepros. Longtime member and domain investor Biggie asked the question: where do “they” get these preconceived notions that domaining is easy, that you can make […]

When the wholesale doubles the previous retail price

October 7, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 2 Comments

A failed promise to deliver a $9 computer leads to a domain name expiration and an $8,850 close. One of the complaints I read a lot on forums from those who have dropped out of the expired auction game, is that the pricing is just too high for a lot of names. Sometimes end users […]
