2018 Oct 08 – 321 Auction Domain Names

Yesterday there were 150 3L (3 letter) expired .me domains that went up on auction .. and NONE were taken at auction! Like there was one or two people holding the bag from the liquid rush of a couple years ago. I know some investors like to say it’s smart to invest in liquid domains, but to me, the liquidity aspect of the domain has zero value. Unless you have some inside information as to why the liquididy part will go up in value. Otherwise there’s almost an equal chance the liquid level will go down as the chances of it going up .. even more so after a surge in pricing has already started.

What I do suggest, is that you try to find the top tier of such domains. Domains with multiple meaning and more potential end-users with more potential money than the average of that particular liquid category. Then try to find those premium domains at the regular liquid pricing. But at the end of the day this is the same thing as finding the gems at auction and particularly at closeout that other people have missed.

At the end of the day, as a domainer, you should focus on domains that end users will pay for and USE! If you can’t see a person or business using the domain, then it will likely never sell to an end user at a high enough multiple to cover the renewals for the rest of the domains in your portfolio. So sure if you bought it at liquid pricing you could resell it at liquid pricing, but there’s no guarantee the liquidity will go up .. in fact .. you need for it to go up more than the renewals just to break even. Add to that the waste in time!

2018 Oct 08 – 838 Closeout Domain Names

Posting closeouts super early once again. I hope you all find the timing helpful and that you’re able to get the domain names before anyone else! 🙂

Interestingly enough, not a single one of the expired 3L .me domains were picked up at auction today. Looks like someone playing the liquid market game just got caught holding the bag.

Happy Thanksgiving to all fellow Canadians and all those celebrating! 🙂

2018 Oct 07 – 365 Auction Domain Names (+150)

I slept a ton last night .. one of those sleeps where you wake up on the couch with the TV on and you have no clue if you slept for 6 or 12 hours! lol

Anyhow … there are an extra 150 3L .me domains today. I figured I’d use them to explore the tables a bit and see if I can put two separate tables on the page. Aside from that it’s a pretty average day for auctions. Considering it’s a holiday you all might find names for cheaper because Canadian domainers took the weekend off to be with their families (it’s Thanksgiving over here).

2018 Oct 06 – 310 Auction Domain Names

Here is Saturday’s auction list. Over the last week or so there were some weird LLNNN.com type domains with a lot of bids (none today that I listed). I’m guessing they have Chinese significance given how high some of them ended up going at auction. I just want to use that as a reminder that while I mostly list domains that are above average, I also post domains that are simply interesting to note (I actually don’t recommend anyone buy LLNNN, or any other type of domain they don’t understand the underlying market for .. in this case the Chinese liquid domain market).

There is another block of domains that I add to my lists that I think have a good chance of being good value buys. But obviously there is no way for me to know their final price when I create these lists (before the auctions finish), so there are definitely some domains that I think would be great wholesale buys at $20-30 or less, but end up going well above that into higher prices that might not necessarily be worth buying as a domainer who will need to sell it at a high multiple to offset renewals of domains not sold.

So always keep those things in mind, in that just because a name is on the list, does not mean that you should necessarily buy it. Always take time to research the names to be sure the data is correct, and more importantly that it actually has underlying value beyond just the statistics and data.

That being said .. a lot of them certainly are great domains .. so get to it .. go through the list below and find the best ones .. click the domain to get to the auction page .. and get the ones you think have the best resell potential! 🙂
