Your presentation of the results was not objective
Good close sales
They are the most recent sales, completely unfiltered. How are they not objective in representing the sales data?
What are you talking about? Who said he is obligated to share anything with anyone?
You implied it by mentioning that he had made $7 million off his businesses.
There's a price for that domain, and the guy is complaining on his twitter because in his own words "17 years and no buyers so the market says it’s not worth $12K"
It's not, as demonstrated by the sales data presented in the thread.
Qlar is a decent domain because you say it?
No, it's decent because it's pronounceable, like I explained in the post you're replying to. If you're going to ignore my explanations why even bother replying?
That said, do I think it's worth what it sold for, e.g. would it sell for that if it ended up on the market again? No. I think it's an outlier.
And hstf is not comparable because you say it.
No, because it's not pronounceable. It's an absolute nightmare to market.
Take it or leave it. Or go for the .fi or .co because those crappy extensions will "save him 1 or 2 characters"
This highlights that you don't really understand what's going on here. He was considering to buy hstf.com as a shortener. Just like youtube.com uses youtu.be for their shared links.
Other "four-letter western premium" .com sales to show to the potential buyer. Maybe he likes more this part of the table.
By the way
@MKA how easy are pronounced the following ones?
spcm.com | 49,995 USD | 2020-08-30 | DomainMarket |
Out of those 8 sales only 2 are "western premiums." What does that tell you? Because it tells me that "western premiums" is a made-up domain category with no inherent benefit.
But even then, these are just outlier sales. We could do this for any nonsense.
Example:
Look at that, recent sales of long hyphenated domains in the five figures. What an untapped gold mine.
Cherry-picking high-end sales doesn't work for any category. Because there are always going to be statistical outliers.
CNBC
LPGA
BASF
BOFA (bad example, plus the dreaded "O")
All worthless.
But
@MKA is right, I should be able to readily present more examples.
It's not the number of examples, it's the number of examples versus the number of counter-examples together with the sales frequency.
And there's a very easy way to figure this out. Just look at the most recent sales for a particular category.
Take .xyz sales. Why are so few people here investing in .xyz domains when Swetha consistently manages to sell these domains for five figures? Because most .xyz sales are in the three figures. Whether Swetha is engaging in some kind of insider market manipulation, or whether she's a talented active seller doesn't really matter, because the result is the same: we can't sell these domains for that much.
My advice to the interested buyer.
If you don't own the COM drop your loots and go grow potatoes!
His brand is Hostifi and he does own hostifi.com. He's looking for a shortener to save characters when posting links on Twitter.
P.s. can someone explain what the heck is Western Premium? First time I hear such in domaining.
It's supposedly, a four-letter .com domain, where the first letters are one of the following: R, T, P, S, D, F, G, H, L, C, B, N, or M, and ends with one of the letters F, S, G, L, N, C, or R.
And, apparently, if you feel like it you can include the letter O.
GTPR.com did not sell for $19
https://namebio.com/gtpr.com
I'm not sure where he got his data from, but it's not unlikely to be a typo. Since 901 contains the numbers 19.
But that doesn't explain the recent sales of "western premiums" for $200.
And yes some are paying $100 or more for hamburgers
You're missing the point of the allegory. It's a different burger, and that place will charge you $100 (or more) whether you're living from wage-to-wage or whether you're a billionaire.
And it's been almost a week now and hstf.com is still for sale. And I'm sure this will be the case a week from now, a month from now, a year from now, ten years from now, and so on, (statistically it's unlikely to sell in 17 years) and who knows how the domain market will look then.
