Insightful.
More proof you don’t have to be from Schwartz and Mann era of domain speculation to make nice annual profits – if you learn to play the game right.
Abdul Basit is playing the game right.
Thanks for your feedback 🙂
One of my favorite domain investors that I follow among many others . Happy you have him on today .
Glad you liked it Emeka!
Abdul,
I’ve been listing my names on Afternic NS5/NS6 landers. I’ve had 7 sales on Afternic in 2021. Most were sold for $3250-$3750/name gross and all were hand-regs.
Based on your comments, I’m trying out NS3/NS4 to see if I notice an increase. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I tried a small time experiment with ns5/ns6 landers (which I’m not if favor of) to see how things turned out to be, and I found out that the results were quite similar from ns3/ns4.
Now I’ve switched back to ns3/ns4 landers as I don’t want to miss any incoming lead where the buyer is interested but their budget is a little lower than the BIN and I’m sometimes okay to negotiate rather than sticking to the BIN.
One interesting thing to note is that GoDaddy has moved almost its entire NameFind portfolio over to the ns5 BIN landers.
That’s an interesting move and thanks for sharing.
After going through both the landers, I still prefer the ns3/ns4 landers which has several advantages over ns5/ns6 and I find it more beneficial for the portfolio/sales.
