This is a typical flipper statement. Buy low Sell high.I hope someone falls for you.
I remember in DNF a normal guy who offered unet.com for sale. was asked to stop dreaming about the domain and sell it for low xxxx. He decided to go against the common reseller thinking and sold it for 100k.
You think like a reseller. You remain a reseller.
(sorry, this response will be long)
No, it's the statement of someone who has been around this longer than most all of you and has seen this game on every level. Your mentality is very similar to people who are new to this and still full of big dreams (I know you're still new at this,
since you actually own .asia domains )
I don't even resell .in domains, but I do make money off domains (meaning, I actually generate enough money to buy stuff like cars and take trips- not nickles and dimes...) The .in market is totally speculative at this time and bring in very, very little money. Don't like that? Ok, then wait for 'the future'. You may win, you may not... Want to sell today? You get todays prices.
To be sure, everyone loves getting a great price, but there's a big difference between selling too low and asking way, way, way, way, way, way too much. For every one 'great deal' I might run across, I encounter 100 domainers asking prices that they will never get. The problem is, every time lighting strikes and a dreamer gets some ludacrous price as a function of dumb luck, it only serves to fuel the lottery mentality that is a failing model for 999 out of 1000 domainers. People who want to make money off domains know how to do it. People who want to hold domains and 'dream' can only do so as long as their bank account- and hope- holds out.
I don't fault those people, but I do suggest they not waste their time with me. I know how the game turns out for them... In 2 years or 5 years or 10 years, they eventually wake up and try to sell their names- gone are the days of four figure asking prices... Now, they just want to break even on a 5 years worth of renewal fees... At least a couple times per year, I get emails from people who I contacted years ago about a domain, offering to sell it at the price I offered in 2004, or whatever. It's kinda pathetic to watch... I've never taken them up on their offer.
So, like I said. In this game, there are two types of people. Those who engage in business and those who engage in dreams. Only one of those groups makes money.
I'm pretty clear that I have no interest in dealing with the dreamers. People who actually buy domains (as opposed to people who dream about domains) are basically all in my camp and operate this way. If you want to sell your domains, you will price them to sell. Auction prices are a good barometer of this. For those who want to dream, then keep dreaming, but don't waste the time of people like me. Like I said. I know how that strategy turns out for you... I wish you the best of luck, since luck is the only way you're going to make a dollar. Your strategy itself ensures those things within your control- outside of luck- will fail.
I'm not looking to take scalps- I offer totally fair, market realistic prices- but I don't indulge the idiot whims of the dreamers, either. If you don't want to offer me your domain at a realistic price now, OK. I'll just pick it up in the "about to expire" $3 firesale you will post once renewal comes up and your dreams come down to meet reality.
