You have to see the business for what it is
You always have to see things for what they are, if you are going to delve into a business or other opportunity, you need to know the rules or lack of rules of the road.

BrandBucket sales in August up 30% vs July
BrandBucket sent out their September newsletter, and while I know some readers believe if you don't get the actual names that sold it's worthless, I respectfully disagree. I would like the names too but I do believe any data you can attain has some value attached to it and is worth the read. Takeaways: When you take out sales over $10,000 the average sale was $2,887, so all those dreaming about six … [Read more...]
In 2017 I asked – Could we do a domain auction here on Twitter? The replies were mixed

Espresso.net closes at $10,001 in a battle between two bidders
As I mentioned earlier today I started tracking GoDaddy public auctions lately. I had another domainer ask why they didn't seem to do as well as expired auctions. (People would rather donate to GoDaddy than another domainer?). In talking with Michael Sumner he explained that Namebio has not tracked GoDaddy public auctions, no real way to automate the process, so I will send the data over to Michael, least I … [Read more...]
QM.net sells at Namepros
A couple weeks ago I wrote about QM.net being put up for auction on Namepros. You don't see a valuable, liquid name such as a 2L.net be put up with a $1 start, no reserve. The auction started on July 29, so it took two weeks to close but the auction closed at $13,777 and won by Ian Mcalister. I have often thought that Namepros could become a bigger player in the auction business, the community … [Read more...]
