Develop or sell?

Edwin · 27-03-2010, 10:30:17 AM

Nonsense. If you look at a lot of the prices people are asking for recent drops that they're flipping the same day, they're often in the 50-200 pound range or thereabouts. On any given day there are many names going cheap in the for-sale threads that would be better to develop on than any in the original post. And with a bit of patience, it should be possible to find a real gem or two if you monitor the sales threads for a few days and jump in quickly when one rears its head.

There are also bargains to be had on DomainLore, amongst other places.

Thanks for the input guys...

The domains I have acquired are in the most part speculative and as I don't 'need' to make a living out of domaining, I'm hoping that a few of the more speculative domains do come up trumps. So I'll be hanging on to most of my 'ickle' portfolio - even if I don't make much money from it, I do have a selection of names I can use for any future businesses I have in mind.. or maybe something for my kids in the future!

From the beginning, my interest in domains has been not only the 'keyword' factor but something that seems to be missing from much of this forum which is branding potential and the use of a domain to represent a business for on and off line purposes.

I realise we all have our different opinions on what makes a good domain name, and at the end of the day the website content, SEO etc... is the key to ranking as well as the domain name.

Thanks for the comments, though, keep them coming!... It's great to hear the wide range of opinions expressed through Acorn.

Hope you're having a great weekend!

Will
