Good blog post Edwin.
I just can't believe that someone reaching out to end users and selling domain names for FAIR prices is being ridiculed. He has also shared with us the template of email he sends to help people out. I think it is great.
There are so many people complaining that the arse has fallen out of domain name prices and this guy is showing that you can still move them on for healthy profit, while also not asking for thousands of pounds like many people still try and demand.

2 more sold....
WebsiteDesignBlackburn.co.uk - £150.
CommercialPropertyScotland.co.uk - £50
I think I am going to reserve at least a few hours/day for pure outbound marketing (keyword .co.uk that I feel could have some value to the end users I am MKGT them to)

One of those a day would be over £25k a year! It all adds up.

Interesting so literally: tutorlondon.co.uk
Back in the early days a friend of mine used to be marketing manager for MoneySupermarket.com, he gave it all up to be a stonemason. Needless to say every time I seem him I try and get some info - he always maintained the subject was key to success.

Wouldn't that depend how many domains you have to register to get a sale
£3.75 being the cheapest if you're a registrar (unless there's an offer somewhere)
If you only sell say 1 out of 10 that eat's up quite a lot of profit
No idea on what % Fed sells compares to registers as he hasn't said and no one has asked.

To be fair Edwin never mentioned the word 'Profit' he just made a factual statement.

Did you find what I said not to be factual?

Yep, it is factual but not relevant if net and gross profit were not mentioned in the original statement.

Yep, but not in the context of Edwin's statement (which you quoted).

Sorry yes you were right, and I was wrong and I can now see that, so I apologise.
I suppose you don't know anything about me so I shouldn't be insulted, but it's still kind of insulting
I was wrong in initially giving you the benefit of the doubt and thinking you weren't a troll but you have actually now proved me wrong and now we are most certainly on the same page.
Have another great day under that bridge
Let's cool things down, before they get out-of-hand/context.
Murray clearly has his viewpoint/opinions, and other members have theirs.
Even if the large majority of members here do not seem to agree with Murray's reasoning and logic, let's nevertheless respect that fact and move on.
Now, if you all agree, I will keep posting my small end-user sales from time to time.
Despite the small amounts posted, I believe it is encouraging to see that by focusing on the right niche keywords, it's possible and rewarding (with some effort) to move a good amount of inventory each month, generating a solid source of residual income/profits.
