Unpredictable end user sales

[thevirtual]

The thing about end users is you can not predict what domains they will seek.


I am always surprised at some of the domains that will gain interest with end users. Some of these domains are not very valuable and not particularly logical.

In the past months I have sold some of my worst domains to end users for decent margins. I have literally picked out my worst domain only to receive a $500 offer on Sedo within months. I just received an inquiry to my second worst domain.

Of course there are domains that will always be in high demand, generics, acronyms, one words etc...

The fact is there is a trend of random domains getting major sales.

It is just a matter of registering the right domain at the right time.

I would say a significant percentage of domain sales are for random domains with no real value. Many end users do not choose a quality domain or they have a personal reason to choose the domain.

Quality over quantity.

Every domain is unique.

A reason your best domains don't sell and less valuable ones do sell to end-users is based mostly on luck and randomness.

Many end users can differentiate between good and bad domains.
