A few end user sales:

Yep, but not in the context of Edwin's statement (which you quoted).

"One of those a day would be over £25k a year! It all adds up."

What's wrong with questioning if all of it is profit or if a chunk comes out due to domains that were registered and not sold?

I'm not sure why you're knit picking with this

Do you feel like I was attacking Edwin? I wasn't

 

[Murray]

I was wrong in initially giving you the benefit of the doubt and thinking you weren't a troll

I've been giving my opinion on a thread started to give opinions

I think I've stayed on topic and not been personally insulting

"Don't be bitter, be better"

That's personal isn't it? that's nothing to do with the topic

Who is the troll..

 

[denchomsky]

Do you feel like I was attacking Edwin? I wasn't

Nope, just saying your typically negative comments were not relevant to the statement.

I'm not sure why you're knit picking with this

Ah OK, is that what I was doing...Must remember that if debating with Murray his comments are valid, mine are knit picking.........

This isn't even a debate.. I don't know what this is, I'm baffled

Edwin said it would add up to £25,000, an impressive figure

I questioned if it's all profit

What is the problem?

365 x £69 = £25,185 correct, nothing to debate.

I think Murray is just trying to ascertain Federer's success rate.

If every domain Fed hand reg's he sells for £50, £150, £250 etc with zero wastage that is exceptional.

I suppose even if you buy 50xdomains @ £3.75 and only sell 10 for £50, minus reg fees and averaging 1 hour of time per sale that £30+ph (£300 gross profit)

I understand his question, why he asked it, and the motive behind it.

It's the natural follow up question isn't it?

Sold one a day... that's 25k.. I wonder if all that's profit; how many domains are registered vs domains sold

Maybe that's just my inquisitive mind then who knows :-|

The 25k wasn't even real he sold one domain for £69!...how can we ascertain how much profit he made? If you want to work out his fictional costs selling these fictional domains then go ahead.

Yes, people have hypothetical discussions sometimes

Thanks for that pearl of wisdom.

It's an interesting question. Fed, you've been very generous with sharing the details or your sales and your sales approach. Would you consider sharing roughly what your success rate looks like?

 

[Federer]

I do not have an accurate success rate to share, each day is a different game. 1 day, I can market 3 domains and sell 2 - another I may market 3 and sell just 1. However I also get interest/sell (some of these same) domains at later stages (some companies can take weeks or even months to get back) - these are not only replies to the previous outbound marketing, but this interest also comes in the form of incoming offers (companies that have not been contacted) either via the parked page or marketplace (Sedo, Afternic, DNS etc.). But I can assure you it's profitable - some days more than others.

Maybe one of these months I will keep an accurate track-record (num. domains purchased, num. domains marketed to end users, num. sales, amounts etc.).

However, and very interesting to note: the reply/sales rate has gone up since I started quoting search volume + more-than-reasonable prices in my opening message.

I am not sure if I should set cheaper pricing for domains that I catch/re-register as the creation date gets set back to zero and maybe these have far less value. But, from what I have seen in the .COM namespace, even dropped domains (whereby the creation date gets set back to zero) can go for thousands if there is perceived value in the keywords/domain. I think the actual keywords that comprise the domain are far more important than age, althrough age can have it's extra bonus/trust factor.
