One tool I have heard about from many different domain investors is ExpiredDomains.net. I never really used ExpiredDomains.net on a regular basis, but after a few people mentioned it to me recently, I began using it. For the last couple of weeks, I have been using it on a regular basis and don’t really know why I had not been a regular user before.

I have a few saved searches on ExpiredDomains.net that I now check on a daily basis. I check for new listings on Sedo and GoDaddy that meet certain parameters I have set. I also have a search set for NameJet expiring domain names that are coming up for auction. I still prefer to use Dropping.pro for my daily expiring domain name searches, but I have also been using ExpiredDomains.net so I have a better chance of not missing any domain names.

Since the middle of the Summer, things have been running smoothly for my business. While sales have been solid, it remains difficult to find deals on private acquisitions. Auction prices remain higher than I would like, and I have been more actively buying pending delete domain names as a result. For my business, maintaining the status quo is probably the right move, but it is difficult for me.

“But You Only Paid $500 for It”

Some domain name buyers are more savvy than others. They actually do some research on the domain name they want to buy beforehand. They may use a source like NameBio or GoDaddy’s appraisal tool to find more information about the domain name and it’s value, and they might come across the sale price of the domain name they are looking to purchase.

I recently sent a handful of emails to prospective buyers to try and sell a domain name I had recently acquired. After a brief exchange, the prospect mentioned my acquisition price. I want to share a paraphrase of how I replied without specifics that might reveal the specific domain name:

Media Options, the domain brokerage founded by Andrew Rosener, announced that it hired Jonathan Tenenbaum as its Chief Operating Officer. Jonathan had been working as Chief Privacy Officer at Web.com since October of last year. Jonathan is probably most well known in the domain investment space from his time as General Manager of NameJet, which is owned and operated by Web.com.

The press release I received is below, but the part that caught my attention was from Jonathan’s quote:
