Another scammer popped up in dnforum and tried to sell a few 3 and 4 letter domains:

It’s was xandomains, Yang Xin from Shanghai, who is now banned on dnf.

LTGP.COM
TDBF.COM
ANIL.com
0L9.COM
ENCD.COM
KFAL.COM
FYUP.COM
UNWB.COM

The most popular thread on dnforum currently is this one: Domainers are Losers

As usually the dumbest threads get the highest exposure, but naturally there are also a couple good points raised in the thread. The OP intended that most people joining the industry don’t succeed that well, and this is probably right, same way as in any other business. Many domainers mentioned their successes as well in the posts.

Some interesting posts worth mentioning: (more…)

DNForum Adds New Category for dropping soon domains, for a fixed price of $20.

I think it’s a great idea and I just listed a few of mines there to try it out.

Domainers deal with renewals on a weekly basis and it’s frequently a hard decision to either renew or let it go. It can be quite disturbing to see a domain you forgot to renew end up selling for 4 figures on an expired auction, but these things happen.

I recently spotted this domain on DNF and it caught my attention. Not only because it’s a top female name and a great domain, but mostly because the high contrast in prices.

The seller claims to have paid over $50K for the name and the reserve on the greatdomains auction is only in the 1-5K euro range.  This is a high risk and from my experience GreatDomains auction is among the worst places to take that kind of risk at.

I certanly wish EarlBarrett good luck  with the sale, but  I’m afraid the auction won’t reach that high

Interesting case and decision and not in a good way..

Who Really Knows?
I go against all the “rules” here for buying domain names. I get super long names (3-4 words my norm), often with hyphens and always a .org or .net. In the appraisal section, my names always get no response, 0 or “reg fee” values.

For instance, I offer up my watch-videos.net, a name everyone here said was a dog. And I agree. What’s to like? But somehow, someway…well, here are its last 6-month stats at parked.com:
Domain Name Clicks Revenue
watch-videos.net 2,751 $196.75

And I’ll share these few more examples of modest parking successes.
