How Slow are Things? How many deals have you had in the last month?

[ksinclair]

.
It would be interesting, I think, for people to post the number of recent sales, purchases, barters, and brokering you have done. Not the $ amounts; just how many deals.

I have had one small and one very small sales in the last month, made 2 smallish purchases, and did a barter. Most of my dnf activity overall, in the last year, has been small purchases, not sales. Renewals are killing me right now, I must have been insane a year ago.

[For the purposes of this post, we can say very-small is under $100; small is $100 to $999; medium would be $1,000 to $4,999; large is $5,000 to $9,999; and Grande is $10,000 or higher][if you have sales over $50,000, in the last month, then you get to make up your own colorful verbiage]

What have others been experiencing?

Yes, it has been incredibly slow for me for the last 4-5 months actually, but just now things are actually looking to pick up again. A month or two more and we should be back to "normal" activity.

Within the last 30 days:

1 Small sale at sedo. (still pending)

End user queries have increased, but people (even end users) want them for nothing.
Oh well.. keep buying, waiting, developing.

Nada - I might have sold one or two $5 sales.

I've dropped close to 40 domains since Dec 1 with over 60 more I'm dropping in the next 45 days.

a couple of small end user sales since christmas, nothing to write home about though... I haven't had a sales thread on a forum for months I don't think - I think I might start one soon as I have some names to clear which don't fit where I'm headed... picked up 6 or 7 great names at bargain prices though, so there's a flip side to everything.

Yep if you've got loads of cash to spare for next 5 years say then now
for sure is excellent time to buy.

As for me ,part from the 3 sales I posted I made ,the large one of which I
am still awaiting signed agreement back for (I signed yesterday) , things
are slow for sure . A few enquiries here in UK but not much going on.

"Grande" to "Unreal" Details next week.

You're torturing us! Any hint?

 

[Theo]

No hints till the check hits my bank account

My guess; you've sold a .org domain to a major company (_really_ major) for $xxx,xxx.

:?: :smilewinkgrin:

My lips are sealed

My lips are sealed

I hope you've made a killing.

Had three good sales in Dec, may have been due in part to end of year tax buying.
A .biz for low x,xxx and a .com and .org for low xx,xxx each. Best month for me since 1999.

 

[thevirtual]

Have had a couple very small sales and a few small sales in the last month. Also just closed a small end user sale last night.

 

[Rockefeller]

Things have picked up since the new year! Around 12 deals in the past week (selling).

For my UK drop catching business, January 2009 has been the most lucrative since inception, two years ago appx. People are taking a chance on a £1,000 entry fee to perhaps catch a single domain in their year which could make them £30k from the £1k invested. How would a domainer get into business for £1,000? Anyway, to make it even more sensible, £500 of that is Nominet's (UK NIC) charge. Not self-promoting, just adding my observations to the original post.
