Like most domainers, I get a rush when bidding at auctions however are drops always worth more?
I tend to think many great deals get scooped up by the few smart domainers who understand what a good domain is and how to look beyond simply what is hot for today. Whether or not a domain has [...]

A great website was just launched by Randy Charach  – visit  synergydomainclub.com.
Great place to see faces, interact, blog and more. Well done.

About a year ago I looked up the first domain we ever sold. Strangely enough there were ads on the site … who would have thunk …. 
What I found interesting was this name (which was hand registered by me in 1998 and sold in 2000) had a WHOIS record showing the domain was created in 2002.
Funny, I [...]

At some point every business owner (not just domainers) look to sell or “exit” the business. In this industry it seems many people are building and building portfolios so someday they will “exit” by selling the entire portfolio to a buyer.
Is this really a valid exit strategy?
It certainly sounds great but it’s also the elusive dream [...]

Acronyms. I love them and hate them but when it comes to finding a website it sure would be nice for owners to spend the extra 6 bucks and register the domain in its full format.

We have a long hit list of domains constantly watched for price deals, development signs, ownership change etc. One we had on our list was celebritygossip.net (no idea what happened and why we did not purchase the name since the price was extremely fair – win some, lose some) however today we realized this name was a little [...]

You have to love this business. Where else can you make money in your underwear? It doesn’t matter what you wear to work because a computer is your connection to the world – not a physical office.
Warning: It’s a scary vision to imagine all domainers in their underwear so I will assume you all look like Kate Beckinsale [...]

As a further follow up to the recent SnapNames upgrade, below is another shortcut to find some quality domains. Much like the “bidders” shortcut we mentioned a few days ago you can also sort by minimum bids with just a few clicks.
(a)  From the home page, leave search box empty – hit go
(b)  double click “minimum bid” so [...]

100,000 good names.
Not a chance.
When a large portfolio owner announces the sale of 100,000 names it sounds like jumping ship but it’s not like that – in any way, shape or form.
As I said in an earlier post:
“Over 98% of the portfolio just added to Afternic by iReit is JUNK! – Complete and useless domains your blind grandmother [...]
