One of the best parts of my trip to Europe was spending time in Belgium drinking the various Belgian beers. I was fortunate enough to have enjoyed all six Belgian Trappist beers, including the hard to find Westvleteren 12 (also known as Westy).

I recently acquired BeerRatings.com, and the domain name is now for sale for $6,000. Obviously, I think it would be a great domain name for a beer ratings and discussion website, not unlike DogPark.com. There are thousands of beers from around the world, and clearly, there is no shortage of advertising revenue.

Whether you want to build the beer database on your own or use the Open Beer Database (for free) as your starting point, you can create a website that would be fun to operate and probably give you some credibility when you belly up to your favorite bar or visit your favorite beer store (mine happens to be Shangy’s in Emmaus, PA).

If you would like to move forward and purchase BeerRatings.com for $6,000, post “sold” in the comment section. First to post sold will be able to buy the domain name. We will use Escrow.com and split the fee.

I really like BeerRatings.com, and I think it will be a fun project for someone, although I don’t have the time to build it right now.

As I mentioned last week, I am going to list some of the best new domain sales listings from domain brokers and aftermarket platforms. I have asked that only one listing be submitted, and it must either be a great new name under exclusive or a notable price reduction that will help move the name.

If you’d like to submit a name to be listed, let me know. There is no cost for a listing, and the purpose is to share new listings and solid price reductions in case a reader has an interest in a particular domain name.

Contact the broker or brokerage directly if you have an interest in moving forward with an acquisition, as I have no involvement with any of the sales or listings.

Here are some of the new listings or newly reduced listings for some great domain names (in alphabetical order):

It appears that Andrew Rosener of Media Options has sold the two letter domain name, RH.com. According to Whois records, the domain name changed hands a little over a week ago, and the buyer appears to be a California-based company. I asked Andrew if he could share the sale price, but he could not due to a non disclosure agreement.

Media Options acquired the domain name in 2011 for an undisclosed price, and it appears to have been purchased via Domain Capital. Knowing Andrew, I would expect the company achieved a very attractive sale price. He mentioned that the buyer intends to use RH.com, and the landing page indicates the website is under development.

A little over a year ago, Andrew’s company sold DX.com. That sale was also subject to a non-disclosure agreement, but it was a quick flip as well.

Congratulations to Andrew, who was also recently nominated for a TRAFFIC Award for Domain Broker of the Year.

*** Update:

Toby Clements, another Domain Broker of the Year nominee, sold a two letter .com domain name last week. YG.com was sold for $125,000 via Toby’s newsletter.

One of the biggest issues that high value domain name sellers and domain investors face is the inconsistency in selling domain names. I might be able to sell five $50,000 domain names in a month to five different end user buyers, but I might not be able to sell a $5,000 domain name for two months after that. There is very little consistency with domain sales.

Different prospects in different fields value domain names differently. As a result, one doesn’t know if he will generate $100,000 in net income a month from domain sales or $10,000 in a month. The inconsistency makes things more challenging, and it is one reason there aren’t a whole lot of people doing it for their primary source of income right now.

If you want to be a domain seller/flipper, you need to realize there will be little consistency with your sales. One month you might net six figures and another month you might only gross 5 figures (maybe less, although you probably couldn’t do it for a full time living if you’re not earning 5 figures a month).  After a while, you can get an idea of how much money you’re going to earn, but there’s always the possibility you’ll be way off with your projections.

The inconsistency with domain sales is one reason I’ve developed and maintained a few websites (like DogWalker.com and my blog) so that there is a specified amount of consistant revenue each month, but at the end of the day, selling domain names is inconsistent by nature.

You can certainly make a great living from selling domain names, but it’s not as easy as it sounds and it’s tough to predict.
