@ilovedotcom @AGreatDomain It’s not in the auction. It’s a GoDaddy Buy It Now listing with around 10,000 domains.

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.😁

Acquired a total of 18 domains in the recent GoDaddy Premium Auction event, with a total spend of $6,991 USD. Five are .co names, while the remaining are .group TLDs purchased for about $99 each. I believe I was the only one acquiring the .group names, which have strong SLDs.

@TonyNames @nikhil_r17 @DigiFortune would you say you would buy this kind of domain at the same price point? @TonyNames
English

@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

@BusterLungfish @spaceship @mezba016 @namecheapceo123 i might do the same and bring back landers to @afternic
English

@spaceship @mezba016 If this is a new unannounced policy,I’m going to remove over 1000 listings with SS landers. @namecheapceo123 please clarify.
English

Collecting fee from seller is a nice movie.
But is it 5% from seller & 5% from buyer?
