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.

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.

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. Peaceman

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. -=Chipmunk=-

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.

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.

What's trash for one may well be gold or platinum for another ...
There is a lot of misunderstanding among domain people.
There is no such a thing as a market value for a given domain. I am on many forums, and I see that some people pretend anything just to sell a domain, appraisal or hosting. The domain industry is like any other industry, a matter of supply and demand and motivation. Many hyphenated domains have been sold for many $! The trouble is that some people want everything, but want to pay just nothing. Some people have the nerve to say that a domain is overpriced. They should mind their own business. I say: Let us all enjoy the possibilities of the domain industry. Succes, everybody! By the way: My domains are now offered on Sedo.com - Q8.ms has received offers.

Re: Do you play the Domain Game???
I have a terrific name portfolio and have made a second salary on names. But I spend almost no time on the search/acquisition. I just keep my eyes open!
Some stuff to keep an eye on: * trademark. New domainers, please don't go buy a name containing someone's trademark. There simply is no excuse and you will lose the name (without compensation and possibly with legal costs). And if you think you can just "flip" a name with a trademark to someone else and run with the money, think again. You can still be liable for damages caused AFTER you sold the name. You essentially become an accessory to a crime. Not worth it! * private name registrations overconfidence. It's a simple matter to get access to the real owner of a name with the right legal paperwork. This is not a good hiding place. * Only Invest in dot-com. If you can buy a good non-dot-com at street price, hey, go for it. But the non-dot-com names need to be highly strategic (e.g. completing a name packages) if you're spending much on them. * Avoid Administrative Overhead. Get all your names on a system that automates your domain renewals and use a tool to keep track of the whole list. If you end up spending hours a week just doing administrative crap, you're losing money in time. * Be careful if you've ever dabbled in Afternic or Sedo. Make sure you keep all of your prices consistent and up-to-date. If the value of your name has gone up, and your price is years old on one of the auction site, you just reduced the perceived value of the name to the buyer. * lock all names and whitelist your registrar's domain name. I use an outlook rule to put up a big alert when any kind of message about a name comes in. * I think Dba's are better than private registrations and look more professional and less spooky. Get a dba for your corporation, call it "acme domain holdings inc." and put it on the names. Use domains@dbaholdings.comfor your email and have it filtered by spamstopshere.com There is no better spam filter on the market. * Use Form Filler Tools. Save yourself hours by using roboform to fill in information during registration and other administrative tasks. * Use escrow.com. If a buyer won't do pre-pay, use escrow.com and make them foot the bill. It's usually about $30-50. * Don't sign long contracts. Domain sales should be simple. If they won't use a simple letter, tell them you need to add $200 to the sale to cover the costs of having your attorney review the agreement. I was handed a FOUR page domain sale agreement once. I grumbled. The contract became a one page letter 2 days later. Done deal, everyone's happy. It turns out that the reasons many sales agreements are so long for domains is many attorneys have never been involved in a domain sale before. I later found out the 4 pager was a boilerplate for the sale of a PATENT! Some government organizations may want you to sign a "single source letter" which is cool. This is because they usually have to get three bids on things, but for domains there is only one source - you. These are usually really simple and you can't get around them. It's also cool to sign something saying that you are the only one who owns a name. Nobody wants to hear about a secret owner coming out of the woodwork later. My Godaddy rep did a nice job answering questions on a large $ sale for me. I just conferenced him in with the "confused" buyer and let them ask about what constituted ownership. This shows I have nothing to hide. * Don't let big $$$ make you stupid. When money is being exchanged, some folks' writing hand goes into "sign whatever" mode. Once the buyer tried to slip in text that said they could ask for their money back anytime within 90 days as an addendum. * Don't actually transfer the name until your bank shows their check amount went in and cleared. This happens electronically and you should be able to see it within 24 hours at most banks. Cashiers checks should make it faster but they don't usually.  * Actually have the buyer take the name to a different registrar account and remove you completely from the contacts. Make this an open and closed deal. DO NOT remain connected to the domain name you just sold or you might find yourself in a mixed up pile of crap someday. Send a confirmation of completed transfer via registered mail or just use email and ask for a reply. Hope those tips help! Last edited by sitecreations; 08-01-2007 at 08:38 PM.

Thanks for posting them. I have recently jumped into the name game and after reading some of the other posts I decided to order all but 3 of the TLD's for one of my domains. If the reg fee goes down I'll buy them too.  I now have 27 names, some are TLD packages. Let's hope I make some money on them.

armchairtravelvideo.com/ youarethetraveler.com youarethetraveller.com mysterioustravel.com mysterytravelguide.com mysterytravelguides.com virtualwanderlust.com icelandicstories.com budgeticeland.com oldebook.com webjourneyman.com infotainme.com seeanddo.info webjourneyman.info personalturnaround.com themysterious.net dularfullt.net A pretty small collection, each with an idea for a website behind it. Wonder it that could increase its walue? Or if making, if only a micro site or automated blog with f.eks. open source content and/or affiliate ads, would automatically increase the names value?

Re: Do you play the Domain Game???
I have 38 to my name and have to admit that about 15 of them are duds, no idea what I was thinking when I bought them
So am slowly giving them away on one of my sites. But its strange this domain game, I had one that no one was interested in buying, then a bloke comes along and buys if off me for $100, gave me a shock as I couldnt get rid of the thing for $20.
