Just wondering from some of the season pros, on avg. how many offers do you receive and how many domains do you sell. Even if there low offers or low sales Im just wondering.

Also with the offers and/or sales how many places did you have it listed at.

I feel information on this could help a lot of people and maybe even generate more offers/sales.

:rolleyes:

Information of this type is generally private and not usually discussed by those of us who make it a business. It is no one else's business except the parties involved and the tax man. Additionally, the accuracy of this information would be questionable at best.

About 10 years ago, I told someone what I sold a domain for. That person then contacted the buyer and tried to sell them domains and even had the audacity to say I referred him. I learned.

The exception would be the open sales and forums of public auctions and highly-publicized special events.

um, average I would say 4-5 per week. The most I've sold in a month was 50 I think.

Honestly...nowhere near enough :(

You have to have the right names for the right people to obtain the right offers. Bottom line...its not the most likely thing in the world to receive an offer out of the blue.

Marketing and end user sales pitches are your best friends, I have found.

To really understand 'sales volume' you need to take into account the quality of the domains being sold and the profit. For example, I could sell hundreds of domains and make a loss, or sell one domain and make a profit.

Also, the number of offers you receive is directly proportional to the number of domains you own and their desirability. I could own 400,000 crap domains and get 20 offers per month, or I could own one great domain and get 20 offers per month.

For me the number varies..I do not use Sedo or Namedrive so my sales come from the forums or my own personal contacts. I sell between 7-10 domains in a week ranging between $4,000-$10,000.

Sales? So that is how you make money in the domain business. I am constantly buying and have always wondered how to many money instead of spending it all the time.

Thanx for all the replies. I myself am not doing this to be a millionaire. i actually think its fun thinking of names that someone else can enjoy or use. Almost like im doing them a service. Sure I would love to make money as I do try and sell my names but so far 1 offer was a scam and others just look :sigh2:

Not many offers, and not many accepted. I don't push them as much as I should, I drop many, give away many, reg way too many.

Sold a ton on TDNAM but don't use them anymore. Long story, bad mojo.

Encountered perhaps 15-20% non paying bidders at TDNAM, 40% at Sedo, and more than 60% (at times 75%) when I was selling on eBay a couple of years ago.

Happy to report 100% payment success rate on DNforum and NamePros.

I think every time I reg one I am going to develop it. It's a sickness. You all know that.
