Playing the Domain Name Game?
I'd say I do, I own over 400 domain names as of right now. Most of them are thru godaddy Makes me a living. It is addictive though.

Definitely - and loving it.
For sure and what a game it is. I think the domain portion of the web business is one of the most important ones. Certainly one of the most creative.
People say a domain name is not as important as what you DO with the name. True. BUT. In the beginning most traffic will come from searches and links. (where your long & bad domain wont hurt you) But eventually if your site becomes part of peoples lives and ends up being talked about around the watercooler YOUR domain name will be extremely important. Not to mention any offline marketing, pr and advertising efforts -- mostly would go to fuel your competition and your category if your URl is-full-of-dashes-numbers-and-ifstoolongand-doesnt-makemuchsense.
So as a professional advertising copywriter and creative conceptual thinker I am spending more and more time on domains and loving every minute of it. Take pride in your craft. One day the big checks will come in - and while you wait (and work it) you should be making money - not losing money - SO it is not a risky game if you play it right.

Wow a yr. has passed already!
I can't belive it a year has already passed since I started playing the domain game. I think (at last count) I have 85 or so domains now. I just had to renew www.NeO-1.com today on Godaddy. And the Sedo check covered all of my domain purchase's from last year... (most of the domains were not even pointed to sedo) Not a bad little game ;) my latest score (long story) www.HotWebsiteScams.com nothing on it... but I was really mad when I bought that LOL!

Getting my feet wet
I started buying in Jan for resale with wirelessxbox.com put it on sedo and 2 days after microsoft announced the new xbox I had a offer closed the deal a week ago. During the same time some guy calls me out of the blue begging me not to hang up so I listened he wanted to purchase a domain I intentionally let expire. He didn't want to bid via the auction on gd, so excised my buy back rights and flpped it over to him all in 20 minutes. The domain name game is fun but I find I don't have the time to give it like I would want, still have several domains to put up for sale.

Never played, but it sounds like fun. It would be interesting to know exactly how you guys came up with some of those names you did.

Hello,
Thank you for your question. Firstly, domain name is becoming hot cake on the internet these days.
Please, read this:
http://money.cnn.com/2005/11/30/tech...ns_biz20_1205/
Every business needs website these days to succeed in business. But to find a good name is very difficult. 97.5% of all good names have been registered by people. In other to find a good name, you need to buy it from those that have registered it and want to sell it. That's where www.wulux.com comes in. We bring domain names sellers together with the domain names buyers. Buying and selling of domain names is the domain name game.
On www.wulux.com, you can search for domain names and buy them. You can even sell domain names if you want. If you need a particular domain name and you can not find it in those domain names listed, just join "Domain Wanted Club" on www.wulux.com. Through this club, you can post an Ad about the domain name you want and sellers will contact you in private messages.
Read this: http://www.wulux.com/faq.php
If you have any questions, contact me.
Thanks,
Adeyemo. |

Hello,
My advise to anybody is to register as much extentions of a domain name as you can. Be it .com, .net, .org, .biz, .us, .int even .name and so on.
After you have registered all these, you can forward them to open to only single domain.

Great forum!
I myself personally play the domain game, with having sold names in the xx,xxx range.
Speculation of domains, as anything is always a gamble. Sometimes it pays off... Sometimes it does not.
In the "off the shelf" registration market...
It is very important to check with whom you register with. Pricing may lure you in...but check the background of the company. It is not just the purchase price you should be considered about, but also the post purchase support. Trust me...
I personally support Moniker.com due to the support they give.
Anyone going to T.R.A.F.F.I.C ?
I look forward to chiming in.

My first sale
I just sold my first domain two days ago. It's funny, I have almost 80 domains, many are for sale, and I had no idea how to sell it or what to do to transfer it. Luckily I found a great customer service rep to walk my through everything. The return on investment is huge and looking for new ones can be addicting.
Great topic,
Brian

Like many people I started in this game buying a domain for a site of my own, then got hooked. I'm up to about 1000 domains - mostly health and medical domains. Domain parking has allowed me to fund all of the renewals and I've also sold a number of them.

How do you receive domain parking funds? What has been your ROI so far? |

Re: Do you play the Domain Game???
I recently bought a report on eBay about trading in domain names. It seemed a good idea and you could make money. I set up an auction on eBay to sell three domain names. The total cost of this auction was about $40.
One domain fetched $2.25 the rest got no bids at all!
I found a web site that sells domain names and you can advertise currently for free so I have listed them there and we will see what happens.
The site is at:- http://www.dealasite.com/index.php
Be wary of trying to sell domain names on eBay, everyone and his grandmother is trying to do the same. |

Re: Do you play the Domain Game???
Just an update to my last post above about listing on the free site at dealasite.com
I have just had a bid of $15 for one domain name - it's a lot better than the $2.25 I got on eBay for the other domain name I sold there.
It prbably is a strategy to buy only on eBay and then sell elsewhere - just a thought.
