The world’s best domain hack to be auctioned LIVE!

July 28th, 2010

Domain hacks are becoming all the rage. Sedo recently sold the nice short E.co for $81,000.

In 4 weeks, there will be another big sale of a domain hack, only this time it will in fact be THE “domain” hack, Doma.in.

It will be listed in the live auction at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Dublin on Wednesday August 25. Watch and see what the world’s best domain hack sells for! :)

Are Sale Prices REALLY “On Sale” Prices?

June 15th, 2010

In Our Case, YES!

You know when you go to the grocery store and you see a 12-pack of soda for $5.99 (which is ridiculous) but hey…they have it ON SALE for $4.99 for a limited time! Or you could go to the store down the street and get it for $1.50 less every day.

Or you go look for a cool new TV to buy and see an awesome one at Store #1 for $1,999, marked down from $2,499! I mean it’s marked down, it HAS to be a good price, right? But then your friend with a CostCo membership takes you there and you see the same TV for an everyday price of $1,799. What the heck, Store #1? You LIED!

The point I’m getting at is I have occasionally had people question whether domains that we have in special sales are actually for “on sale” prices. They think perhaps we’re sugar-coating normal or even inflated prices with the Sale tag to make it appear like it’s a deal. Yesterday we had a domain sold that further reinforced the answer to that question: YES, they are in fact “on sale” prices.

The domain that was sold was for $1,497 via BuyDomains and definitely not the first time we’ve made 4-figure sales of domains through them. The thing is, we had this very domain listed in our latest Daily Domain Names batch for…get this, $75! That’s 95% less than what it sold for.

Furthermore, this domain was also contained in a special $99 domain sale recently which we’ve sold 9 domains from total now. So for those people it was still a 93.33% discount.

Last but not least, in my humble opinion, while it IS a superb name for sure, it was NOT the best domain on the list. The best domain on the list is still for sale on that list! Perhaps we’ll sell that one at it’s retail price of $2,497? :)

If you haven’t seen that $99 domain sale list, which is not posted publicly anywhere, contact me to receive it. Also, I do encourage you to go to Daily Domain Names and sign up for our newsletter to hear about our latest sales with legitimate “on sale” priced domains.

WeWantYourDomains.com now LIVE! Turn your unused & expiring domains into CASH!

June 10th, 2010

WeWantYourDomains.com is now live!

The site is really as simple as the name suggests – We Want Your Domains! :)

We’re providing an opportunity for you to get something for your unused and expiring domains with two distinct options:

- Liquidate your domains to us for cash, the best option if you’re in need of quick immediate cash for your domains.

- Give your unwanted expiring domains to us and receive cash upon resale, the best option if you’d like to maximize what you get for your expiring domains vs. dropping them or liquidating them since selling domains is what we’re good at. :)

Of course, if you’re looking to BUY domains instead, we encourage you to check out the awesome limited-time sales we post on DailyDomainNames.com (an excellent new batch of names was just posted today!) or contact us directly to receive our list of domains for sale.

DailyDomainNames.com launched!

February 16th, 2010

My partner and I (Domainate.com) just launched the new domain sales blog DailyDomainNames.com! There, our goal is to provide quality domains under $1,000 apiece. They will be domains of our own as well as domains that other people submit to us that meet our strict quality standards and are priced to sell. If you buy domains on a regular basis, you will NOT want to miss out on it!

Here is the first day’s worth of domains for sale!

Welcome to the NEW Nametrader domain name blog!

January 28th, 2009

Over the last month or so, I had been mired in development of a new site (not domain related, I will post about it once it’s finished) and in looking at what all I was doing on THAT site, I realized “hey wait a minute, what about MY site?!”  It was about time for a facelift and ultimately I have transformed this into my portfolio AND my personal and domain blog!  I hope you like it and hope this is not only easier to navigate but is also more entertaining than my old site.

If you’re here looking for my domains for sale, I now finally have them organized by extension – hover over “Domain Names For Sale” at the top of the page and the list of extensions will show up in a drop down menu.

Everyone enjoy yourselves and have a nice day! :)
