April 6, 2022 by Raymond Hackney

So there is a thread I was reading today on Namepros where a member posted that they looked at a premium sales and they weren’t developed some two years later. I just spent over an hour looking up domains that sold over 2 years ago for over 10k. Almost every domain goes to either a […]

Is domaining on the downslide?

January 14, 2022 by Raymond Hackney

From posts on Namepros and private conversations in the first two weeks I see some calling for domaining’s demise. I finally got hold of a long time friend in the business who told me he just got into NFT’s and could care less about domain names. I was surprised as they have had decent success, […]

December 17, 2021 by Raymond Hackney

June 27, 2021 by Raymond Hackney

There is always that thread that starts will little substantiation but looks to be controversial. So someone started a thread on Namepros stating that the domain market is manipulated just like gold, stocks, housing, etc… When someone asked if they cared to substantiate with facts?

One of the most active posts for the month at Namepros is right out of the anti how to win friends and influence people playbook. A relatively new investor ripping and demeaning others.
