DNJournal latest sales

[David G]

...I guess the real question should be just how are they finding buyers for these domains?

There are few if any end-users here but that is only a small part of the answer. It's something I have been wondering about for years. I have come to the conclusion it's mostly attributable to pure luck and mathematics with little if any credit to promotion and advertising of your names for sale, which marketing is mostly a waste of time (except for usually low price sales between resellers only and flipping).

Someone (usually an end-user) wants a specific domain for a particular business use and searches for it, seeing it listed for sale at places like BuyDomains, Sedo or using Whois, and buys it, regardless of value, traffic stats, revenue, comparable sales, or even better names for sale at same or lower prices. In fact, they rarely ask for any stats.

Since there are millions listed for sale a small percentage are bound to sell every day because of the numbers involved and the laws of randomness and chance and sell for surprising prices, which you see listed in DNJournal.com each week.

Good Day All

Any Thoughts On The Intl Tld's??.....for Ex-.jp.....be....cn....vg...us.com....uk.com.....uk.net....??

Any Of These Worth Anything??

I Hear All This Talk About The Intl Tld's Is The Next Big Thing

I wish and hope they are, maybe that would make my fuel.us.com beef.us.com and pub.us.com a little more valuable :lol:

have you ever been reading DNJ Sales Report and see a domain and say:

"hey... I thought I owned that..."

and then have to run check and discover you either once did and let it drop... or have one EXTREMELY similar ??

That happened to me today...

My heart was racing when I thought I had accidentally let a "goodie" go...

whew....

I just registered EntertainmentFurnitures (pural) .com/.net/.info... Probably not worth much... will put it on for appraisal...

I believe "furniture" is already a plural... Actually, I'm positive.

I noticed EntertainmentFurnitures.com gets 33,300,000 google results while the singular, EntertainmentFurniture.com gets only 13,100,000. How can that be explained?

What are you on about? EntertainmentFurnitures.com (with ext) gets about 5 results in Google...

As a phrase (and that's what really matters in this case) it's even worse:

"Entertainment furniture" - 1,080,000
"Entertainment Furnitures" - 210

Restecpa it's the other way around...

LOL! Copy/pasting numbers in a hurry can be a bi*** Thanks for letting me know. I better correct it fast, so those who don't know how to use Google properly don't go on an "Entertainment Furnitures" domain registration spree

Now that would hurt...

I had one of those moments last week.

I was doing some keyword research on one of my domains and saw it listed in DNJournal (it came up in the Google search results) - I thought WTF?? It turns out that someone purchased it, well over a year ago and let it drop. I had a big smile on my face when I read how much he/she paid for it.

That's what happens when you don't manage your portfolio!

Video.us!

 

[italiandragon]

Video.us!

I don`t think so, Video.us was acutioned at Pool after the drop last time.

 

[tristanperry]

Some crazy sales there. And I haven't heard of entertainment furniture either. I think I'll register two seemingly unrelated keywords and hope for a $xx,xxx offer

As referenced in my post #61 above, it's mostly luck and mathematical chances a name sells for a high price (excluding resellers selling/flipping to other resellers).

After years of wondering about this I am now convinced most all the sales which are priced high enough to be published in DNJ have basically nothing to do with the marketing, promotions and the sales venue involved (or even the overall quality and comparative value of the name to a degree).

There is a method to the madness

Its not all random
