July 11, 2022 by Raymond Hackney 1 Comment

In what has to be one of the ugliest domain names ever registered, Notification-unscrewing-idolise-amphanthia.xyz sold for $275 at Sav.com. It was registered the year before and I am not sure why. Checking Ahrefs there are not many links and no domain authority. Could have spent $275 on just about anything else and it would have […]

June 24, 2022 by Raymond Hackney 5 Comments

I get a lot of lists sent to me from people looking to sell domain names. Some of these lists will note that the sender plans on letting names expire but they are asking me if I want to pay $30,000? First off 99 out of 100 times the names are nowhere near worth what […]

Crypto company suing a 79 year old for domain name brings up the age old question, is an email a binding contract?

May 5, 2022 by Raymond Hackney 1 Comment

CoinLetter.com published a story on Jump Crypto and a 79 year old that owned the domain name Wormhole.com. The registrant owned since 1994. It revived the debate on whether listing a price in an email and then backing out was a legal contract or not. 25 years later it still seems many are split or […]

There are many perceived end user sales that are merely domain investors buying

April 6, 2022 by Raymond Hackney 1 Comment

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 […]

March 31, 2022 by Raymond Hackney 10 Comments

Is domaining on the downslide?

January 14, 2022 by Raymond Hackney 9 Comments

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 2 Comments

When you see a domain name listed on a marketplace for an attractive or in many cases unbelievably good price, do some research. Over the past month I have spoken to a few people and read stories on Namepros where people are coming across names that have not been available. In some cases people should […]

Do Forums still matter?

July 4, 2021 by Raymond Hackney 15 Comments

With the news of Epik acquiring DNForum.com, some commented whether or not forums matter anymore? There are many articles over the last couple years about forums in general, not just in domaining. Last year Engadget published, As internet forums die off, finding community can be harder than ever. The article looked at how social media […]

Is the domain market manipulated?

June 27, 2021 by Raymond Hackney 4 Comments

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?
