“Looking at these sales should remind you that, if you’re willing to hold onto your domains until the right end user comes along, it’s reasonable to sell even mediocre domains for $1,000-$5,000.”
That is true, but when some people hold 500 mediocre names (being nice), that’s $3,500/year to renew. They need to strike lightning once a year to make money, and for many, that’s a BIG stretch.

Congrats Michael! As always, love to hear more about the sale… Did you have it listed with a buy it now of $62.5K. Did you have the domain parked or forwarding to the Afternic listing page. Contacted via whois and used Afternic to close the deal etc.
I always enjoy learning from one of the best.
