The most popular discussions this week include a heated debate about domain investors struggling with the decision of using DropCatch due to the competition that it promotes, the excitement behind receiving your first parking payout, investing wisely into domains with seed money, and how to determine a suitable price tag for your brandable domain names.
Will Not Use DropCatch
Is the business model of DropCatch ethical or unethical? Members discuss whether it’s an unsavory business practice to allow every name to go to public auction. Those against it argue that this practice could be hurting those that spend countless hours determining whether some names are good enough to place a backorder. This debate has generated nearly 2,000 views and exceeded 100 comments.
First Parking Payout
It’s an exciting day for most domain investors who reach the minimum payout threshold to get paid for the very first time, even if it’s 9 cents. It currently has just over 1,300 views and 73 replies.
$5,000 of Startup Money to Invest
Some investors start out with a lump sum of seed money. When you’re lucky enough to have this available from the beginning, it’s important to know if hand registrations are worth your time and money, where to find bargains, and what the best names are for long-term capital gains so you can make the most of your hefty investment.

How Do I Price Brandables?
Brandable domain names can be tricky because they don’t have a benchmark to price on, but typically they sit in a sweet spot where both parties can be comfortable. While one domain can sell for pennies, another transaction may require an escrow service due to the amount of money involved. This can be confusing at first, but it is all dependent upon who the end user is, how deep of pockets they have, and how good you are at negotiating. The exchange currently has 63 replies.
