Super rare domain: inc.tax Is available for offers: epicname.com/name/inc.tax #domains #finance #taxaudit

@GoDaddy cannot get any crazier than this. The top line of the image below is GoDaddy's AI "Suggested Pricing" for our Wednesday.com. IMO, it's accurate. However, below it is their GoValue appraisal, which is what the PUBLIC sees. This is self-sabotage of the highest order. Shout out to @DomainOrca for spotlighting it. @afternic

@namecheapceo123 @BrandAimCom I am with this option. Give sellers the option to absorb that extra 5%.

@BrandAimCom The only way to test is in production. I think giving sellers the option to set it on their own or negotiate the commission partial or fully with the buyer is the best option and where we will land.

In an effort to keep seller commissions at 5%, spaceship added a 5% commission on the buyer side. I’d like to see the long term testing of this as it would be beneficial for sellers! Any plans on testing internally @namecheapceo123 to see its impact on STR? #domain #domains

@bogdan_vovchuk Rumors say boost was on and consequently the seller got hit with 3,500,000 extra 5% fee on top of the 15%

How the sale of AI.com actually happened:

@cultra Was the boost turned on?

Wow! 2026 is getting off to a great start Sold: Greenland Hold Time: 325 years Paid: $0

Decided this year I would be a little more active and share some sales and acquisitions from time to time. First sale of the year: Domain: Aivi (.) com Hold time: 8 years Venue: @afternic (no boost) Sale: $98,500 (BIN) Wishing all a prosperous and healthy New Year 🙏 #domains #domainsales

@Aladey It is still early to tell but the Ai rush will eventually cool down.

GM 😎 What happened to .ai? The big sales seem to have disappeared compared to before. Any thoughts ?

@DomainGang Super inflated wholesale prices!

Sold for $25,002 dollars.

@TonyNames Looks solid though 😅

My Portfolio

@MichaelCyger @godaddyauctions Winning Wealth is a powerful name. "Fresh" + "Adventage" is a weird combo and not very memorable.

Assuming both of these domains sold for the same amount, and ignoring number of bids, which domain do you like better? (Both were in @GoDaddyAuctions today.)

@AbdulBasitcom @DomainNews24 Lol he should rename his wensite to "UDRP Market" 😂

@DomainNews24 Such people are a mark of disgrace to our domain industry. To have an idea why I'm saying this, one can check this out: domainmarket.com/search?q=Google domainmarket.com/search?q=Micro… domainmarket.com/search?q=Realt…

✅Domain Sold! 💰AirTransfer .com Sold for $50,000 🛒Sold via DomainMarket .com 🗓️December 30, 2025 This domain name perfectly matches various high-value business scenarios such as air freight, cross-border air freight, airport pick-up and drop-off, and aviation logistics information platforms. more:domain.news/veteran-invest…

Just analyzed root words that drove the most sales in 2025 on Atom.com. Beyond volume alone, average selling price is a useful signal of where buyer appetite is strongest. AI, pay, and fund show the most pricing power.

@Aladey What was that "cancelled" 136,000 offer? 🧐

💡 Today’s Domaining Tip💡 The Parable of the Waiting Game You’re holding a domain that cost you $20. You’re waiting for a $2,000 sale (100x return). Meanwhile, a buyer offers you $150 (7.5x return), and you pass because you’re chasing the dream. The Math Nobody Wants to Hear: Industry data shows realistic domain flip profits range from $100-$10,000 per domain. The blockbuster sales (Voice. com at $30M, icon. com at $12M) are statistical outliers not your business model. But here’s what the data reveals: domains with limited TLD diversification (3 or fewer extensions owned by different people) have dramatically shorter holding windows before market saturation kills demand. When you own a domain in a saturated niche with competitors holding similar names, your 100x fantasy becomes a 2x reality if the buyer even shows up. The Psychology Trap: Domain investors suffer from anchoring bias. You appraise a domain at $5000, someone offers $175, and you decline because you’re anchored to your valuation not market reality. But if 100 other domainers are holding the same domain type in the same niche, that $175 offer is the market. Your $5000 anchor is fiction. Why 5x-10x Beats 100x: 1.Liquidity advantage – A 5x return in 18 months = 28% annualized. That beats S&P 500. Take it. 2.Renewal cost doesn’t scale – You’re paying $10 year renewal regardless. Each year you wait, that $10 compounds. On a $20 domain, 5 years of renewals = $50. Your break-even is now $70, not $20. 3.Market windows are real – Trends in AI, crypto, fintech have 2-3 year windows before saturation. Miss the window = miss the buyer. 4.Your capital is trapped – That $20 tied up in a waiting game could have been 100 new domains generating $175 each = $17,500 instead of $1 domain waiting for $2,000. The math is brutal: one 5x sale beats ten no-sales while waiting for 100x.

@Aladey Domains with BIN landers will always have zero inquiries. Better advice is to drop domains that have 0 views and 0 search.

💡Today’s Domaining Tip 💡 The STR Illusion “I think I am the only one using this” Your Portfolio Isn’t as Good as You Think It Is You’re measuring success the wrong way and it’s costing you thousands in dead renewal fees. The Trap Most Domainers Fall Into: You own 200 domains with a 2.6% STR and think that’s your baseline. But here’s what you’re actually doing: you’re counting 100 dead domains that generate zero inquiries, zero clicks, zero sales, yet they still count against your success metric and drain your cash flow. 👉That 2.6% STR? It’s artificially suppressed by dead weight. 🧮The Real Math: Those 5 sales you made this year probably came from your top 100 performing domains, the ones with actual buyer inquiry activity. The bottom 100? Ghost inventory. If you dropped the zeros: •Same 5 sales •100 domains instead of 200 •Your STR becomes 5.2% But more importantly: you save $1,000-$1,500/year in needless renewals on domains that will never sell. Why This Changes Everything: You’re not just improving a metric. You’re: 1.Cutting your annual costs in half – Redirect that $1,500 to your best 10 domains (aggressive marketing, outbound to founders) 2.Focusing outbound effort on winners – 100 curated names get your attention; 200 diluted names get none 3.Admitting the truth – Some domains are speculative dead ends. Accept it. Move on. The Domainer Mindset Shift: Stop thinking like a hoarder. Start thinking like a venture investor who prunes portfolios ruthlessly. Your best domains don’t need 100 dead weight companions to validate them. They stand alone. Action this week: •Pull your inquiry data from the past 24 months •Mark domains with ZERO inquiries •Drop them at expiration or sell them for whatever you can get •Reinvest the renewal savings into your killer domains Your 5.2% STR on 100 domains beats your 2.6% STR on 200 domains, every single time.

Most domain investors obsess over STR like it’s the ultimate badge of honor. Truth: High STR can be pure ego if you’re underpricing everything. The metric pros actually respect? Revenue Per Domain (RPD). Mine is $172 this year. Why RPD > STR (and why it’s safe to share): 🧵

🙏Grateful to God, Dadaji, Family, and Friends 🙏 ✨ Giving Back to the Community with the Full Journey of HealthStrategy .com — From a $3K Acquisition to a $100K Sale in 18 Months Earlier this week, I promised the domain investment community that I would share the complete background story behind one of my six-figure sales — not just a highlight or price tag, but the full journey, the key turning points, the negotiation psychology, and lessons learned from start to finish.

This is more than just a sale recap — it’s an open-book look into how I approach domain investing, how I price and position premium assets, how I handle negotiations, and how I stay grounded through it all. I hope this deep dive adds value to the community — whether you're new to domain investing or a seasoned player seeking long-term consistency. Let’s begin... 👇

@DomainJames Give it for free to surprise him 😎

Well they did ask nicely

Guess the Goalscorer Level: Impossible

Maintain a list of check boxes Green Check boxes for reasons to buy: TLDs taken, Word combination, root word strength, brand word strength, user depth, user breadth, potential buyers, SLD TLD synergy, Industry Synergy and so on etc Red Boxes for reasons to not buy: Mostly how absurd the name is, as most names are. And when you start out buying names, it should check as many green boxes as possible and as few red boxes are possible It is a limited pool of names and competitive but it is what it is As you gain more expertise, you slowly adjust the number of red and green checks to balance scale and growth

@Namecheap @brandables There is a bot in your auctions that bids exactly at 59 sec before end to extend the auction for 5 min. Then it repeats at 59 s and so on If its real user using API then for his interest he should bid once with 1 big proxy not extend the auction slowly and attract other bidders!

@brandables We found and checked the auction, all participants are legit users. Some users use auction API and setup automatic bids.

I've had some fishy stuff going on at @Namecheap auctions, but this one may take the cake..

@brandomainable Nop

@EpicNameCom is it?
