Finding gem domains...

[beks001]

Whats the best way to find really good domains at cheap prices? Maybe ones that are about to expire or recently expired?

Look for obituaries on domainer forums and hit up the grief stricken widows who don't know shit about domains.

FWIW, if you have good domains, they'll come to you.

Try www.genevatech.com free expired domain search engine ( updates daily with about 25-50k new names)

Is that a sound sales strategy for all goods and services or is it only applicable in the selling of domains?
How are you able to properly assess the market value of a domain without actively participating in the market?

Whenever you see someone advertising a "premium" domain, just buy it. Don't ask any questions. You can retire as a millionaire 2-3 years later.

This specifically applies to domains. For motivated buyers, they'll lookup the registrant in WHOIS. This is one good reason not to use WHOIS privacy.

Some key factors are experience, knowing sales of comparable domains and understanding the industry of the end user. Broad and generic keywords with higher PPC values tend to fetch higher prices.

Right, but a lot of times, people don?t know what they want until you show it to them and estimates are merely estimates until you test the market.

You obviously don't own any premium domains. Like I said, if you have desirable domains, buyers will come out of the woodworks looking for you. You don't need to "show" them anything.

As each domain name is unique, prices will vary considerably. More desirable domains (higher liquidity - more potential buyers) have more stable prices than less desirable domains (lower liquidity - fewer or no potential buyers). In the end, it all comes down to how much a buyer is willing to pay and how little a seller is willing to accept. Most domains will never sell because of the wide discrepancy between low buyer bids and high seller offers (bid / ask spread).
