I'm new to this and I am after some advice

[The Stig]

Hi Everyone,

Bit of a newbie with the whole domain thing however I seem to have an eye for some that are still available. What I would like to know is how long to have I have to do own them before I can sell them on?
I have been using GoDaddy as they are relatively cheap and the interface is pretty simple. Do I need to wait 60 days before I can sell it and transfer it to another registrar? I have tried to research this but it makes my head spin

Thanks in advance.

Which domains are you talking about .com's or .co.uk's?

Buy carefully.
Research well.
Don't panic buy.
If you are a reseller, research who you can resell it to before buying.

Wish i'd listen to myself!

Some good tips there.

.com's

I have a few I want to sell, if I get the right amount for them I might start buying more as I have built up a list of available ones I reckon I can sell quite easily (perhaps not for a big profit but for it to be worthwhile). So can I transfer from Godaddy pretty much as soon as I have bought them?

This forum is geared to .co.uk and other UK extensions, might be better off finding a .com forum if you are really serious.

I've never had a problem transfering a domain after 30 days. I've never tried to flip one faster than that though.
