Another Example of The Random Nature of Domain Sales

June 3, 2016 by Raymond Hackney 7 Comments

There was a sale on the Sedo sales report that caught my eye this week, it was not a blockbuster sale by any means. I always look at the other tld sales section and focus on the random .net and .org sales. Every domain investor owns several similar names that are basically reg fee names […]

A look at some BrandBucket type sales on Sedo this week

June 1, 2016 by Raymond Hackney 8 Comments

This week was a good example of why you can’t put all your brandable eggs in one basket. While the brandable boutiques specialize in selling brandable names you can be found on Sedo as well. I would say the advantages of Sedo are 10% commission if you want to use their nameservers and list as […]

A Hand Reg Home Run and Why You Need Patience

May 29, 2016 by Raymond Hackney 12 Comments

This week on Sedo the domain name InformationOfThings.com sold for $4,500. This domain was hand registered in October of 2015 and sold on May 18, 2016. Pretty crazy ROI on that one. This was a smart hand registration IMO, a cheap speculative play with the potential for a big payout. Playing off the hoopla around […]

When Major Conglomerates Assist Small Businesses, Everyone Benefits!

May 28, 2016 by Raymond Hackney 8 Comments

In 1996, when I was launching my first online businesses, I saw the Internet as a great vehicle for offering goods and services to people who would not have easy access to them otherwise.
