Let’s play a game.
Take the following domains and tell me would you pay these amounts to buy them, or take these amounts to sell them if you owned them.
That’s your choice; Buy or Sell at these prices and later on today I will let you on to the secret, which if you know already, congrats, but don’t spoil it for the rest of us.
Here’s the domains, make you picks by copying and pasting in the comment section with your picks for each, Buy or Sell:
Videospark.com $8,500
Wet.net $6,500
55R.com $6,000
LejourPlus.com $3,000
Monroe.net $3,000

You know Mike, you are a scary dude!!
I am looking for the microphone in my mind.
Today I thought of doing a post that listed 50 domains and I was going to bet that few could actually pick out the winners.
So let’s say some SCHMUCK domainer buys the entire list to start his “Portfolio”……….
$37,000 and they are a domainer. We laugh. With 37 grand both of us KNOW we can find gem afer gem. $37 grand here and you just pissed $37 grand away. Give the $$$ to your mother, father, sister, next door neighbor……..
Chris Brown says
I certainly would’t pay those prices for them, but if they where my domains and those where genuine offers to buy I would take the money and run, so SELL SELL SELL.
Tony says
I’ll play:
Videospark.com $8,500 SELL
Wet.net $6,500 SELL
55R.com $6,000 SELL
LejourPlus.com $3,000 SELL
Monroe.net $ 3,000 SELL
My guess is you sold all these recently too…
Tim Davids says
Monroe.net was my only buy
Robbie says
If someone offered me the cash for them, I would sell.
Dont think I would buy any of these at those prices, not when there are other great names out there going so Cheap!
Adam Dicker says
I would sell them all at those prices rather than buy them.
Bruce Marler says
The only buy from my perspective would be Monroe.net , I could have it developed and make up the cost paid with ad sales within 3 weeks. Other than that no other buys but I would sell if I had an offer at that price.
Johnny says
Videospark.com $8,500 SELL
Wet.net $6,500 SELL
55R.com $6,000 SELL
LejourPlus.com $3,000 SELL
Monroe.net $ 3,000 SELL
Johnny says
There is a huge influx of new cash it seems on the auctions and they don’t know what/how to buy.
I’ve been noticing these new crazy bidders for about a month now.
D says
Sell all
D says
Oh and Black Rickshaw above should STFU because he buys $1K sells for $1M, so he would not buy for this price but he would not sell either

I won’t play, here’s why:
If one buys something with an idea of what to do with it (assuming he is able), then all bets are off. “Ready, Willing, & Able” stands true to domains as well.
Let’s take wet.net as an example. Liquid trading value (domainer to domainer market) is under 10K likely, but what is it worth to say Mountain Creek Waterpark (http://www.mountaincreekwaterpark.com/), if they decided to re-brand? Is it 10K, 20K, 200K, 2M? Whatever the number is, what are THEY going to base it on? It surely isn’t going to be based on “resale”, nor “type ins”. They are going to base it on their own ideas, on their own vision. That, none of us have the insight, none of us can fully grasp what’s in the mind (and hearts) of a visionary.
So there isn’t right or wrong in your game, just perspectives. From domaining point of view it may be one range, for bottom fishers it may be another, and for the end users, it will likely be completely different.
Best,
Sahar

Sell for all 5
Kevin M. says
If research is allowed, done in real time, I’d BUY Videospark.com, and SELL the rest. (Then B/O the rest.)
But in hypothetical, I’d BUY Monroe.net, and SELL the others.

Raging Sell!!!
Brady says
Videospark.com – sell
Wet.net – sell
55R.com – sell
LejourPlus.com – sell
Monroe.net – buy – many businesses, towns, counties, schools and surnames are all ‘monroe’

Wet.net $6,500 Buy

LejourPlus.com $3,000 Sell

Sell all other domains.
