I spent quite a bit of time yesterday researching this domain portfolio owner and trying to understand why they suddenly listed around 10,000 .com domains for sale, many priced below market level. I found some interesting things. First, about 90% of the domains appear to be typos of well-known brands — things related to names like Amazon, Netflix, Gmail, etc., with small spelling mistakes or extra or missing letters. It looks like they were mainly doing typo traffic / typo-squatting, and most of those domains were pointing to parking pages. The remaining ~10% are generic domains, things like PaidSurvey․com, PetBirds․com or BackyardBBQ․com. Another interesting thing I noticed is that many of these domains were originally won in expired auctions on platforms like NameJet or DropCatch. What surprised me is that the current GoDaddy BIN prices are often lower than what they originally paid. For example, BackyardBBQ․com was won on NameJet in 2020 for $2,545, but now it’s listed for around $2,000. There were also a few domains where I actually remember competing in the auction and finishing as the second highest bidder, with them winning the auction — and now some of those are listed for less than half of their original purchase price. In one case I saw, they paid around $3.5k but are now selling it for about $500. (I already bought that one, but I won’t say which 😄.) Based on all this, my guess is that their main business model was earning parking revenue from typo domains. But earlier this year Google exited AFD, which likely made domain parking much less profitable. So they may have decided the business is no longer worth continuing and are now liquidating the entire portfolio. That’s my best guess after digging into it. I’ve already picked up around 20 domains from their portfolio.

@KenLin1985 Thanks for sharing. 10,000 huge number. Do you know if it was an individual or a company letting so many drop?

@AGreatDomain Yes Bob, I think we may see more big portfolio holders doing similar liquidation or downsizing, especially those who relied heavily on domain parking and can no longer make meaningful revenue from it.I’m ready to keep picking up bargains if that happens.😁

@DigiFortune That is the same for all good domains that have been doing the rounds. Most retail buyers are new kid on the block Not someone who is on the results page of google, LinkedIn or crunchbase You only need to use those results as a reference not as a cashcow

buy the .com just literally, always buy the .com there is 30 years of trust built into the .com you get to piggyback on that from day one just buy the .com
