[QUOTE="Castion, post: 2283849, member: 75065"] A lot of thinking there.. Not sure I agree with any of it though. If you are domain investing thats different from developing.. A domain investor would never buy a random name since the chances of it selling are near nil. It seems to me that you think that you can only invest by hand registering names. This I would not recommend. You are 20 years to late. If you want to invest today, dont hand register 20 random names. Pool your money and buy 1 good one from the secondary market. Here at DNForum.com for example. So your idea is that without any experience in the industry, not knowing how to sell your own domains, you would help veterans sell theirs? Usually domain brokers use their knowhow to sell to end users or their contacts to sell to other investors. If you have neither then you are ill suited for such a position. There are plenty of marketplaces. But domains are not a mainstream liquid commodity. Its a niche product with very few buyers for each specific domain. Its some of the most iliquid assets you can invest in. Its not an issue of missing marketplaces, but missing buyers. Most of us hold on to names for years and decades before the right offer comes along. Again.. This is not bread you are selling. Not every man needs your domain to stay fed... You cant find a marketplace where ANY domain extension is selling because there are no buyers for them. If you want to be succesful in this industry you have A LOT of learning to do. Sounds a bit like you read an e-book and jumped in. People that write E-books are not making millions, why would they need to write and e-book and sell then? In summary.. Pool your money, buy one good .com domain. Find potential end users and Flip it for 100% -1000% profit. Once you successfully accomplished that do it again. [/QUOTE]
