Have you ever bought any domains from other people?

[yesonline]

If you have, what is the most expensive domain have you ever bought?
And how much if you may reveal the prices you paid?

 

[Kid Kool]

i bought the name breaktheseal.com a long time ago when i was planning to use it as a business name. I paid for it with a money order through the mail, and the transaction went smoothly.

I paid $150 for it.

I am reluctant to buy right now since you can still get killer names off the drops and domainers usually ask too much for my price range. Though i have made lots of offers.

i must have tried about 70-100 trades...

Anyone *not* buying domains from other people is missing out on good opportunities.

I ALMOST rendered DNF fellow member DomeBase some $150 to $300 for chinatrade.info when he edited the post and said that the name's just been SOLD :-(

[beowulf]

Only did a few purchases from other people.

Max was 425 US$

 

[interactive]

beowulf if you dont mind me asking what did you pay $425 for?

 

[beowulf]

I prefer not to post in public what I bought I will send you a PM, mr. interactive.

 

[adoptabledomains]

Bought a few. Mostly under $100.

Offered $500 or so on a couple but no deal.

 

[DomainNameFactory]

The most I spent on a single domain was $2,500.

I once registered a name and sold it for 5 figures 4 days later.

 

[ad-lib]

I've bought several domains in the four figure range. Even bought one off GregR, but for only $500.

I think purchasing domains at $1,000-$6,000 (at least for me) can be a more profitable venture. Then patrolling deleted name lists for hours, searching for mediocre domains. You're better off buying a premium name, where the quality of the domain is not a toss up between each individual. But rather agreed upon by most, as a great domain.

 

[vialli]

I have only bought one name, and that was a .co.uk

paid around $115 for it.

A .co.uk i hear you say, mad or what!!!!!!

Well what do you think?

domain-registration.co.uk worth $115?

 

[Gomains]

I've made a pretty good extra buck with domains without purchasing (other than reg'ing) ... but I'm fairly convinced I could have done better if I had.

How often are any of you who purchase names finding decent ones? What would you say your purchase-to-sales ratio is?

I bought a DN that received modest type-ins and directed it to an unrelated site just for the extra traffic.
In a couple months the type-ins dried up.
Theres a lesson in there.
