:2cents REMINDER: your domain names are most likely worthless

if you log in to your domain parking provider and see that you made a few hundred $$$ or few k $$$$ with your parked domains yesterday, then it's a sign that you own a nice portfolio of premium domain names with direct navigation traffic, which can be treated similarly to real estate.

But chaces are that if you would be such a lucky individual, you would be lying on a tropical island right now with two topless 19 year old hotties serving you exotic drinks, instead of reading this thread....

So this thread is to remind all the other domain wannabees - that your domain names are most likely wortheless.

Don't ask "what's the best place to sell a domain" because if you own good domains you regularly get offers for them.

Don't ask "what's the best place to get an appraisal" because auto-appraisals are wortheless and the paid appraisals... are wortheless as well.

You might be lucky to register a domain for $8 and sell for $30, for $50 or even for $500 once in a year but that doesn't mean that you're really into the domain game. You are quite likely to waste time & money by registering hundreds of domain names, renewing them every year and hoping someone will buy them one day. So if you want to find a new source of income, because TGP submitting isn't cutting it anymore, you'd better search for something else than "the domain game".

As a 'thank you' for this advice you may buy me drinks and call me 'bro'.

Cool thanks Bro!

Too late to buy/sell. I have enough work with the 20 B minus ones that I own.

Good point BTW

If they make money off it and are happy with it then let them be. It's not like they ICQ you for advice, do they?

I'm regularly informed my domains are worthless because I went and bought a .tk.

It's an idea so revolutionary, it's fucked me right up the ass.

Interesting.........I basically inherited all of my domain names and I have gotten multiple offers on two of them, but won't sell, so I suppose that they are worth something. I have NO dilusions of trying the domain game.

Thanks for the information though.

Chances are I could sell two of the domains I have and they would be worth more money than you've ever made in online adult

well if you own worldsex.com or sites like that then yes, those domains are worth a lot

other than that I think you dont have better adult domains than I do, but this thread wasn't meant to be a dick-size contest, it was really meant as a honest advice, although the style may have sounded provocative

99% are legal thieves trying to sell you the 'next big thing' with 'huge potential', they would never sell their names if they had any real value, or they would develop it because its the way to go and where the real money is. Go see DNF, few respectable members and an army of noobs with junk domains.

BTW, i wonder what you would do if tomorrow we had a worldwide military confict and internet disappeared (as its not a fundamental need for dictators and poor countries), plus it's under US authority, which is a serious threat to the future of the internet that we know as of today.

Have your country taken over by a dictator, and you can kiss your million dollar domains bye bye.

Moreover you sell rights to something, you don't sell property. It's the Russian real estate system, you bought restricted rights to occupy a certain internet address for a certain time.

You are merely selling leases.

Fuck you cybersquatters, domain parking should be prohibited, even if it wouldn't solve this massive problem on the cyberspace, it would certainly help.

You lazy morons not even capable of building sites on your so fabulous domains, you are pathetic! Liars!

"I got offer(s)" ! Such a bullshit.

Pathetic liars, rackeeteers, extortionists, blackmail experts, manipulators. Welcome to the world of cybersquatting.

"Honest investors/speculators"? MY ASS

Well technically you don't really own physical real estate either. I'm not going to go into details but check it out, there are loopholes to where the government can take your land and you get nothing.

Regardless of what you think of people selling domains, if there wasn't a demand for them domainers wouldn't exist. You really think the only reason people buy names is because they were scammed into it? Give me a break

If the internet "went away" there would be a lot more people in trouble than just people who own valuable domains. A good chunk of the economy relies on the internet.

There are some things to consider on this thread... how can one thing be "the" answer? I hadn't considered just sitting on a domain, or only buying and selling domains.

I suppose if a thing works, use it.

I will give an honest answer to this.

In past 4 years i've bought a small number of premium adult domain names, doing sometimes quite a hard job in contacting the owner, convincing him to sell etc. Often where most of guys would give up, I was persistant because I had limited funds and with a few exceptions I was buying the names below their market value. And well, we know that the market value of adult domains went up in last 3 years anyway.

I don't really brag about them, but well its true that i have better adult names than 99% of GFY'ers.. (but they are worth still less than 5% of what the big guys like webfather or slavik have) but well that doesnt really mean anything, a guy can have some blog on a shitty domain and still earn more money than my domains do, same for a hard-working galery submitter etc. The good thing with the domains is the passive income though. Im not naming any of these names, because i care about privacy and im not selling them anyway (well unless someone wants to overpay and pay 10 years income lol).

Ok, this was a serious, honest reply, without all the GFY - board persona bullshit.
