WTF is wrong with domain owners? - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

Maybe, 1 in 50 domains held by a speculator ever get sold. So, a speculator may have an overall cost to maintain those 50 domain names to make one sale -- he wants to recoup his entire investment on the other 49 domains he can't sell with the sales price of that one domain he can sell?

He pulls the price out of his ass hoping some sucker will pay his price?

Domains that are part of a ongoing business are worth net profits and 'goodwill'. Business goodwill is a very intangible and a volatile value.

Undeveloped domain names only have speculative value -- what a buyer will pay here and now based on the air of speculation of some future profit to the buyer.

Don't try to apply logic to the domaining business -- there is none.

After buying and selling just a few domains, and studying the domain market to try and figure out how to price my domains for sale, I've come to the same conclusion.

Some people buy a stock at $50 per share, when the stock goes down to $40 they won't sell, they won't sell at $30, they'll hang onto the stock until it's worthless still holding on to an irrational belief that it will one day somehow go up to $90.

Maybe the seller just refused to sell it to you because he thought you were a whiny racist.

You were once in the Content game, so you might get this.

If you were able to shoot 20 pics of any girl with a flash mounted camera for $400. Or a set any girl 6 out of 10 for $600, or a 8 out of 10 for $3,000.

Would you shoot sets and videos of the same girl for $300? Even though the prospective buyer thought you were being stupid and sending away business?

This is where we were until 2008. Today I bitterly regret selling custom exclusive. They were all worth far more than I sold them for.

And that's how all business works. Even if it's idiots over paying for the domains. The true value is what it can be sold for, not what some can afford to pay.

i understand your situation, been there., and what you said is correct.,

i have been asked 100k+ for couple of days old domains/.

they will never learn. these are not professional ppl, these are som stupid webmasters who got hold of few domains either by luck or crazy thinking,
i have dealt with professional domain sellers., and they are always ready to let go domains for reasonable price. and not asking for billion dollars.

The domain was only a few days old which means you had every opportunity to get it for reg fee.

But you didn't think about it until it was taken and the owner thinks he's a genius to have thought about it first.
You place a smaller value on his intellectual prowess and initiative to get the domain than he does.

But intellectual prowess and initiative is what it's all about.
Everybody thought about buying sex.com after it was already bought.

With so many extensions becoming available there's always a chance to pick up a usable domain.

I know people say .com is king and it might be right now, but it will not be that way forever.

More and more people are getting used to new extensions, millennial users don't care if it's .com or .xyz and many people use search anyway rather than typing in a url to the address bar.

beemk · 05-29-2016, 08:08 AM

They are simply playing a numbers game. If they have 5 domains worth 1k and ask 5k for each not only will they make the same amount of $ but they will have 4 domains left over. Eventually someone comes along and pays what they want for one of their domains if they have enough of them. They hold the unique name, they have the leverage.

How would you feel about people telling you your traffic is only worth 5% instead of the normal 50%? I had 10 years of it.

This is the situation ion here. The person who wants to buy is bitching because he can't afford it. The value of a domain to him, may not match the value the seller can get alsewhere.

Paul Markham · 05-29-2016, 10:59 PM

Online porn is terrible for people wanting others to supply at their terms and price.

The 50% base for affiliates illustrates this. Whether a site converted at 1-100 or 1-1,000 on the same traffic. Affiliates wanted 50% and up.

Sites that were poor at best cost little money to put up, offered the custom little v sites like Shap's, Met-Art, etc. It didn't matter the affiliate demanded 50%.

Same with content, design, programming, etc. It seemed no matter the quality of the product, what it was worth to the seller. The buyer thought it should be priced art what they could afford.

So many in this thread are bitching that domain sellers are making more money by not dropping his prices, to the level they can afford.

If you can only afford a Skoda, don't bitch about the prices Rolls Royce demand.

Paul, I think this is about domain names only for sale and not businesses for sale with the domain name.

A business has a has a tangible assets and earnings value along with an intrinsic 'goodwill' value or some marketing plan value. A domain name by itself only has intrinsic 'goodwill' value or some marketing plan value -- there is no tangible value to be gained other than the registration fee paid (and the age or character string length -- big maybe).

i think all these extensions are just making .com's more valuable. i really don't think these new extensions will ever top/replace .com. sure there might be a lot of them but when they are given away at a buck a piece or charged $4000 a year for a renewal, plus the registries change up the renewal prices with notice, they are not very consumer friendly.

I disagree.

We'll see i guess but i think the biggest mistake is allowing these new gtlds to be privately owned. they can do basically anything price wise they want. want a .rich domain? it will cost you $3000/year. Want to buy okay.game? I will cost you $1500/year and you go on forever with this. its set up to fleece people or so it seems. The registries want to be the domainers but when you've got 'premium' domains that can renew for as high as $10,000 or more per year, you'd be far better off buying a .com for $100,000 and paying 10 bucks a year to renew than $10,000 renewal for 20 years.

I was making the point of people demanding a price that they can afford, or a service.

The value to the seller is what determines the price. In many cases people bitch because they can't afford that price.

Everything online is a fantasy anyway...

As with most things, including domain names, the "value" is whatever someone is willing to pay for it. That's life.

It's also a question of scarcity. Everybody's entitled to believe in whatever they want to believe, but at this point, a .com domain is simply more valuable then any similar domain from the gazzillion new tld's.

There's only one, it's the standard.

What drives the prices of the new tld's up these days are mainly either corporate brand owners or internet amateurs that are pitched by experienced sales reps to get their brand with new tld's.

Or investors that want to diversify into domains that get a pitch about future value and buy for pure speculation.

Nobody of us sees in the future, but to consider any of the gazzillion new tld's more valuable than a .com is a bit far fetched.

Barry-xlovecam · 05-31-2016, 05:20 AM

Yep, you need all of those crappy 10 character domains, 50% of them at least in the .com gTLD, to support most of the spam crap in the 1 Billion "active" website sea of fools.

Quote:

from: Netcraft | How many active sites are there?

The front page is taken from each hostname on an IP address and then compared with the front page of other hostnames on the same IP address. Only sites with distinct content will be counted, such that unique content is counted once no matter how many domains and hostnames point at the site.

Where an IP address serves a large number of websites, it is infeasible to sample all sites on the IP address, both from a logistical viewpoint and from an acceptability viewpoint. We therefore apply a sampling technique and extrapolate the results across all sites hosted on that IP.

Accordingly, Netcraft do not visit all sites on an IP but instead take a random sample of sites. For an IP address with N sites, Netcraft retrieves:

625 * N / (N + 624)

sites.

This means that for IPs with a small number of sites (<100), almost all the sites are visited; and for IPs with huge numbers of sites (>100000), around 625 are visited. Keeping the number of requests to be under 700 even in the most pathological case ensures that the survey robots are not banned from sites, and that the results remain respectable and accurate.

.com may be the king of spam. Maybe, 1,000 names made it the other 134K+ .com domains haven't done shit. Sometimes, you have to look at the big picture. The 1,000 that "made it" didn't make it because of the domain string -- they made it because they were worthy, marketed and branded.

I wonder how many .coms are not developed and held by domaineer speculators? 10%? IDK

true enough but how do you ever really know what that is? you can get offers for $100,$1000,$2000, etc and settle for that but you could be selling short and losing out down the road...or you may not. Its impossible to know.

google doesn't own .xyz. some guy named Daniel does.

I stand corrected; I thought that was one of Google's registry front corporation's 142 applications
https://www.icann.org/sites/default/...05dec13-en.pdf

Quote:

This REGISTRY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of ________________ (the “Effective Date”) between Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (“ICANN”), and XYZ.COM, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Registry Operator”).

DELEGATION AND OPERATION
OF TOP–LEVEL DOMAIN; REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

1.1 Domain and Designation. The Top-Level Domain to which this Agreement applies is .xyz (the “TLD”). Upon the Effective Date and until the earlier of the expiration of the Term (as defined in Section 4.1) or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 4, ICANN designates Registry Operator as the registry operator for the TLD, subject to the requirements and necessary approvals for delegation of the TLD and entry into the root-zone.

Well, that registry is selling the domains for 2 cents, for less than the cost of the ICANN fees and the operational overhead -- you cannot make up a net loss on the volume. So, why are they flooding that namespace? Doesn't make sense then.

You buy junk? I don't want to take and hour to make $50 LOL after the loss on the registration fees --recapture the domain sales for tax purposes and pay the long term capital gains taxes on $50 -- better to write it off ... It's different if the sale were for $1,000s -- that is one reason why domain prices are so ridiculously high. <the original topic.

If its junk, why did you buy it? It takes you an hour to push a domain? Anyways, whatever you think is best for you. There are a lot of new gtlds you can get for 1-2 dollars. They want to inflate the numbers so they can show "demand" to their investors. Demand is lower than expected for new gtlds at this point and a lot of companies are disappointed. Donuts, the biggest new gtld holder *was* posting renewal rates stating they would stay above 70%. When they dropped below 60% they stopped posting the rates..

Same with content, design, programming, etc. It seemed no matter the quality of the product, what it was worth to the seller. The buyer thought it should be priced art what they could afford. So many in this thread are bitching that domain sellers are making more money by not dropping his prices, to the level they can afford. If you can only afford a Skoda, don't bitch about the prices Rolls Royce demand. __________________ Blowout deal. 880 videos, 2,400 image sets, plus many RAW videos. $500. PM me for a deal.

As with most things, including domain names, the "value" is whatever someone is willing to pay for it. That's life. __________________ My Affiliate Programs: Porn Nerd Cash \| Porn Showcase \| Aggressive Gold Over 90 paysites to promote! Now on Teams: peabodymedia

Barry-xlovecam It's 42 Industry Role: Join Date: Jun 2010 Location: Global Posts: 18,083	Maybe, 1 in 50 domains held by a speculator ever get sold. So, a speculator may have an overall cost to maintain those 50 domain names to make one sale -- he wants to recoup his entire investment on the other 49 domains he can't sell with the sales price of that one domain he can sell? He pulls the price out of his ass hoping some sucker will pay his price? Domains that are part of a ongoing business are worth net profits and 'goodwill'. Business goodwill is a very intangible and a volatile value. Undeveloped domain names only have speculative value -- what a buyer will pay here and now based on the air of speculation of some future profit to the buyer. Don't try to apply logic to the domaining business -- there is none.

I know people say .com is king and it might be right now, but it will not be that way forever. More and more people are getting used to new extensions, millennial users don't care if it's .com or .xyz and many people use search anyway rather than typing in a url to the address bar.
