how much are the top people making? i know Webfather is worth millions, but how many more are making mid 6 to low 7 figures/year, just with the domain market? just curious as to what the potential is - seems like a hard business to scale up since there are only so many quality domains...
high end domain buying, holding and selling

Quiet,
Good questions there.
Domain buying and selling is like anything. You try and buy low or at a good price and sell high.
We bought tons of domains in the old days and if the price is right, we sell 2-3 a year or so. Unless it's a super generic word or has good typins / traffic, always be careful and study before buying.
Kinda like the stock market, speculation you know. Like I got oilforsale.com a few years back, not that good of a name at all, but you know everytime there is a gas crunch or prices are going up alot, I get 3-6 emails about selling that domain
Lots of other examples you know.
With a bit of a shitty economy right now, it's a good time to buy some domains and put them away for awhile.ICQ: 52344098

What type of return are you looking to generate? There are a number of ways to play the game: generic acquisition/resell, ppc income, development, etc.
Say you invested $500k in domains this year, how much would you want back same time next year?Comment

Best way. But regging is a business in its self.
I read and pay attention to it a lot, its like a hobby.
For example some fucktard let 7e.org expire today.
Guess how hard it would be to just "reg" that domain.
For me, i started off searching and finding GOOD domains for $3-$8
Domains that i bought for less than $8:
6ka.net (the character)
Kills.info (one word)
TheGameTalk.com (getting offers on this)
And some moreCare about me?

you got any good domain forums ? for selling / buying /aparasels?Comment

The hardest thing in the domain biz is not buying, but selling your precious domains.
Once you get hooked it's very difficult to part with your properties.
It's like art collecting. You fall in love with your paintings and no matter how much you get offered you just don't want to let go of them.
You wouldn't believe the offers I've turned down on some of mine and its only going to get worse when we do TV this fall.

Think of it this way. You bought a domain with intentions of developing it, and you mihght have already started. Its hard to part with it.

Not quite. Unless you have the time and money then go for it.

KRL - At the moment, I think buying is the hardest thing to do in this biz. Not due to lack of capital or acquisition power. But rather due to over-saturation, competition, and overall scarcity of these names. Additionally, the late 90's bubble didn't help these original domain owners with gauging the market value of their domain name. The deals, at least in my opinion, are becoming harder and harder to find. Those rare deals that are in fact out there, are becoming swooped up immediately. Hundreds of speculators doing bulk lists of emails each day, fishing for domains.

As a return on your investment, yes, buying at $7 and selling at $20 is a good ROI, but you would have to be able to do that like 20 times a day (every day) to even start making some worthwhile money.I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,

You have to be creative and think outside the box.
I just bought 10 domains on Friday. They were overlooked expired domains. I paid reg fee only. I put a deal together already with a buddy of mine that owns a company that specializes in the biz sector they theme too. They will make me back about about $25,000 to $50,000 a week with what we're doing with them.
