How to find a cash buyer to sell a domain portfolio?

Looking through your portfolio, you are going to have a rough time finding anyone interested in paying much for it... The few domains that *might* have value are $xx domains for a reseller. The LLLL.com bonus domain is the only one worth anything serious (and even then it is low quality for a LLLL.com) - and you only include that if they pay $9,250 for the group... I'd be surprised if you even got $300-$400 for the lot with that LLLL.com included.... Without it, you are looking at $xx - or maybe very low $xxx if you get lucky.. To find someone within 7 days, you will basically be giving it away free or selling it for a low reseller price of an LLLL.com.

Also, you might want to drop TrumpInvestments.com before it costs you more money:

Not trying to ruin your day, but the reality is you have very low quality domains - many of which aren't even worth regfee.

Hope this helps!

Swede, no offence taken. Been doing this for a long time. I make a lot of $$ with my domains. What happens in real life is mostly way off than what most people opine. This is how it works. Regardless of views, just the right buyer is needed to make a sale. The right buyer knows what they are buying into. All of my clients have made hefty profits buying from me.

The UDRP has more to it than just a simple cease and desist. Trump does not own exclusivity to the Trump last name. The man who lost the UDRP crossed the lines.

No offense taken either - I've also been doing this for a long time. You asked for an opinion and I gave it. You are welcome to see value, but my opinion is that there is little if any. I wouldn't buy your domains (excluding bonus domains) for $50 total if you offered it to me. If all of your clients have made hefty profits from you, why not offer it to them? I don't know ANYONE who knows what they are doing that would pay even 5% of what you are asking for. You certainly won't find a buyer here for that type of money.

Also, you are right there is more to a UDRP - but owning that domain has ALREADY crossed the line. Investments is one of the biggest areas that Trump is involved. It is ripe for an easy UDRP.

Hope this helps!

I agree with your opinion. I have no choice but agree. What you are willing to pay is correct within your state of thinking. I cannot challenge that. But that does not apply to what will transpire when I actually sell it. In simpler terms, you are not my ideal client.

Domain sales take time. I will inform you when that happens.

I appreciate your views and opinion. This is why the market dictates value, not one persons beliefs.

I'm not your ideal client only because I won't pay what you think they are worth. The funny thing is, I doubt your ideal client even exists. But I am really not trying to argue about this either. You are absolutely right that it all depends on what someone will buy it for. What I am saying it based on my experience, the vast majority of those domains won't sell. Those that will are going to be small amounts. When selling a portfolio to resellers they are going to ask for even less than enduser pricing so they can make profit. When domains are low quality such as these, they will either ask for even less (due to risk) or not even touch since they won't sell. Let me know when you actually sell this for more than what I suggested and I will take back everything I have said. I have confidence in my experience that this won't happen.

Best of luck!

I've never sold domains for less than $500 or 1k, at times 5k plus, simply because I exclusively sell to end users. But that takes time. At the end of the day, I keep my names and sell later for multiples. The only reason I offered this deal was for personal reasons.

Thanks Swede.

I'm glad you've had success and must assume the domains you sold in the past were of better quality. I totally get selling out domains for personal reasons - we all liquidate at times. But you don't get anywhere near enduser prices for liquidating - especially at the portfolio level. Usually, when I liquidate it is for anywhere from 1% - 10% of enduser price - with some exceptions on very liquid, high value domains.

Also, curious, since you only ever sell to endusers, who would you target for TrumpInvestments.com? NO serious enduser business would go anywhere near that with a hundred foot stick. Just curious is all..

Thanks and again, best of luck!

NO Swede, I have by no means had - 'Success'. Domain quality is relative to price. I will sell 90% of names. I will show you when that happens. yes, true, liquidation does not yield end user prices.

TI can be made into any number of business models. Too early to tell.

All I'd like to say is - You seem to have definitive views about perceived reality of your knowledge. Do not be so certain. Keep an open mind. Being certain thwarts flexibility and in turn affects progress.

I totally agree with Svede.
I think these names will be tough to sell, especially in a 'distress' sale. These names are not liquid. You need to find a plan B if you must raise money.

You can perfectly set up an auction and try to liquidate in a few days. Just don't expect wonders. You might not get one single bid.
Even with maximum exposure and listing on multiple marketplaces, I don't think you'll fetch much money if nobody needs the domains. Everybody wants to sell, but buyers are few and far between. Good luck.

In its current circumstances, I agree with both, you and Swede. I shall wait it out for end users. I seek them and/or they will come.

Thanks for sharing your views.

I'll have to agree. I think there are many people on who would say there is zero value. But I believe there is always a buyer for any domain if you work hard enough and get a bit of luck, along with the right price. None of which are conducive to your time frame. Good luck.

I have never done this before, but due to personal reasons would like to
sell my portfolio for a price I can go the lowest; which I have. I think they
are great for a new investor trying to acquire a decent portfolio without
breaking the bank.

My question is - How to find the right buyer(s)? I know he/she/they exist
somewhere. I do not have a list nor a marketing budget.

I want to sell it in 7 days or less, so a listing or auction is not in the cards.

Any input is appreciated.

Well, the domain portfollio is seen in the sig.

seems to me, the OP already has all the answers.


imo....

BIggie, I have the answers in relevance to the opinions provided by
well meaning individuals who gave their 2 cents and their time, and
by no means have an answer to the unknown, if, we all had it would
certainly be in a far better place than we all are, right now.

what i'm saying is:

you said, you've sold names before and they sold within certain ranges to a certain group

so, since you know how long it took you, to sell the names you sold, then.....

you should know whether or not it's feasible, to sell your list in 7 days or less.

what's the probability of success?

but as a suggestion, maybe compile the email addresses of your past buyers and sent it to them first.

Good Luck!

Nice suggestion. I shall apply it in the future for individual buyers. Past buyers were corporations, not in the business of buying domain names. I took a chance with the listing Biggie as do all others over here. No big deal. Thanks for the input.

Sold 8 domains from my portfolio to different buyers for $1089 so far. I am no longer selling the portfolio in bulk. Just to reiterate, the sales price I got was due to solicitation. Usually, end user sale is a lot higher.

Imc is there any way to see your domains portfolio ?
