From time to time, I like to share some of my recent domain name acquisitions. I have not really done much hand registering lately, but I have acquired a number of domain names in private and via auction.
Listed below are several of my recent acquisitions. As always, I welcome you to submit your recent acquisitions, too, and I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the names I bought.
- WhistleblowerLaw.com
- SepticRepairs.com
- LifestylePlanning.com
- HomeStorage.com
- Determinations.com
- LivingWillRegistry.com
What have you purchased in the last few weeks?
2 or 3 of them are very narrow for me in terms of ever finding an enduser
however, none are bad
determinations.com is always a seller
I don’t know about lifestyle planning, no doubt worth money to a ‘certain group’ of people shall we say
but the standout domain is;
HomeStorage.com
beauty is a high ticket sale to enduser or is one of those domains you can really build out and make money as a domainer, and they’re reasonably rare
Love determinations.com!!
I have acquired
AnxietyCounseling.Com
AbusiveBehaviors.Com
MentalDisorder.Net (hope you like the website)
LucidDreaming.Net (hope you like the website)
You should go after MentalDisorder.org instead. Your dot net is good.
LucidDreaming.net is a good domain. AnxietyCounseling.com has good potential with the current state of the job market.
Is there a rule of thumb you stick to when buying domains to resell? Meaning, do you spend up to XX% of what you think you can resell them for? Or a fixed dollar amount of profit you need (i.e. if you buy something for $100 I’d guess it is not worth your time if you could get a 3 bagger on it so you’d be looking for a dollar amount profit)?
Nothing really set in stone. I generally buy domain names that I think I can sell for many times what I paid. If I fail, I know that I will at least make my money back and then some.
i have Familyinsurancequote.com for sale and Icedchocolate.com for sale….contact craig@domainholdings.com
ShareSearch.com
Not sure if this ever posted….
ShareSearch.com
Mike Berkens owns Acquistions.com (title typo). 😉
HomeStorage.com is a killer acquistion, 20K+ exacts monthly – Congrats Elliot.
I see 2,900 Global and 1,000 Exact. Not sure where you see the 20,000+.
Your search data is far off the mark. It is more like 1,000 exact match searches per month rather than 20,000+.
“Home storage” is not like “closet organizers”.
He is probably using online domain valuation tools that show 22,263 exact match searches.
IndustrialIndustry.com
PussyVibrator.com
Great pickup with HomeStorage.com as it applies to both personal digital / cloud capabilities as well as household items / junk which needs storage.
My two recents are….
WeedCritic.com – great job / website opportunity in light of the recent US efforts towards legalisation.
DeFriend.Me – a potential brandable App for social media users wishing to defriend specific undesirable ‘friends from their social networks.
Thanks Elliot.
HomeStorage.com is a great name — a never-ending battle that pretty much everybody faces (I have EntrywayStorage myself).
A few recent .com grabs:
MoneyMarketDepositAccounts
InvestmentCharting
GlucosamineChondroitinSulphate
ForexTracking
I picked up RecruitingAgencies.com
Congrats on some great acquisitions.
Some of my recent pick-ups include:
OKCHotel.com
DenaliParkTours.com
RadiantHeatingSystem.com
And 2 other GEOs that were flipped within 1.5 weeks of buying 🙂
homestorage.com is a good one.
I have recently acquired the following names:
lprofit.com
rcelebrities.com
rcelebs.com
remarkablecelebs.com
remarkablestars.com
wonderfulstars.com
powerfulspecies.com
kielcity.com
5gamers.com
fivegamers.com
6gaming.com
dashingstars.com
HomeStorage.com is a great name….also can be used for interior architects to specialise/maximise home storage design services….
My recent hand reg:
ManilaCityHotel.com ( 11th largest city world pop 6,300,000 )
JakartaCityHotels.com ( 6th largest city world pop 18,900,000 )
RioExplorers.com (geo travel/tourism)
3dProductPrinters.com (future trend)
3dPrintedBags.com (future trend)
3dPrintedhats.com (future trend)
HomeStorage.com is a really nice domain Elliot.
I haven’t acquired many .com’s in the last few months and the few I have got are a bit strange but they were all cheap ($30-$80) and they all kept their age (1998 – 2005) so I am happy with my mining:
Viralize.com – $70
LoanRelief.com – $70
SexualAppetite.com – $50
TalkHot.com – $70 (Sold at $1500 already)
HardcoreSexCams.com – $80
HipHer.com – $50
LiveAss.com – $80
SexyToons.com – $80
Downcount.com – $30
I got TalkHot.com for $70 and sold immediately for $1500 (too cheap but quick ROI). Also I turned down a $1500 offer and a few other lowball offers on LoanRelief.com that I got for $70. SexyToons.com is getting 50-100 uniques a day so that is good. Viralize.com was questionable but I figured I would take a chance with one of these almost dictionary words and viral is such a big term now. Downcount.com I have no idea but at $30 for a pronounceable .com that was reg’d in 2001 I figured WTF! HardcoreSexCams.com I debated as adult sucks now but I do still make money on my cam sites and it has a 1999 registration so I got it for $80 (a week later Rick Schwartz sold FreeSexCams.com for $150k so now I am trying to figure out the value difference between the words “free” and “hardcore” lol). All in all I am sure I will make a decent ROI on these…
I just picked up jobs411.com
Nice.
I have turned down decent enough offers on Movie411.com over the years and sold Golf411.com a few years back…
Nice!
Mine are
lawcure.com
cosmicgal.com
talkads.com
profrugal.com
Congrats on homestorage.com. Very nice name!
My acquisitions include:
tummytrim.com
and textdeal.com* I forwarded to my existing text mobile marketing website coupontext.com
I really like HomeStorage.com , Very Good Domain in my opinion .
One of my recent Regg’s
EmailFunds.com (Email money transfer)
Just a tip to some: don’t rely on Estibot solely for your search statistics. Sometimes it’s grossly off and a lookup on Google Adwords tool is required. If you buy based on stats, that could be a fatal mistake.
got CustomMadeKnife.com for $12
and WoodBaseballBat.com for $7
not earth shaking but in a pinch i could probably get $20 for either of them.
Definitely agree re: homestorage.com – solid name.
Here are two reg’d last month:
i529.com
i529plans.com
I saw homestorage.com on Namejet. Excellent pickup Elliot. How much are you asking for it?

HomeStorage.com sounds nice.
Recently I acquired a rare aftermarket .COM of seven characters – but the transfer has not yet cleared so I’ll wait to announce. 🙂
Homestorage.com is sweet.
Hand registered:
nursepractionerlicense.com
nursepractionerscholarships.com
I know the search counts for these suck but with all the hoopla over obamacare and my home state of Ga. and several others poised to explode in the healthcare arena, these will be keepers for awhile.
Ugh, septic repairs.
Spent about 5K on that last summer.
If the leadgen on that isn’t lucrative yet, give it time. There are still a few highly lucrative local service verticals out there that are extremely weak on leadgen, which itself, as a whole is still ridiculously immature, bundling very hot leads for jobs worth many thousands of dollars with cold, weak leads and selling them all piecemeal for low prices.
APPTROJAN.COM
as I own trojanapp.com
and will be building more apps.
that is the future!!
Just wanted to start by saying your blog is a great read plus the interesting comments u get r also why I come to this site!

– CowboysS.com
– HotToysList.com
– Soft-Ware.co
– WineCellars.co

My recents:
Sting.me
iHotel.co
iShare.co

@Elliot
I will pass on this round 😉
Homestorage.com great buy 🙂
I love your blog.It is definitely one of the most informative blogs on domaining.I just hand regged WisconsinInn.com.I hope i can quickly flip it for quick cash.I rep Nigerian domainers.
I also saw HomeStorage on Namejet and think that’s your best recent pick-up. I also like SepticRepairs, being an environmental engineer and think you should be able to get a good price for that one too!
My most recent pick-ups are:
GetATow.com
PriceOil.com
BigRaise.com (raise.com sold for $40K last week on SEDO)
FoolMe.com
CatsPlus.com
Love to know what you think. Thanks again for the opportunity to post!
Hey Elliot
I dont know if you would do this but it would be really interesting to see what value you see in your own acquisitions but letting us readers see what you bought them for. Obviously, HomeStorage.com is a good name but I for one would love to know at what cost?
I can only afford to hand reg and so my recents are:
SouthBankProperty.co.uk
MotionSicknessSpray.com
PanamaFilmSchool.com
dot com’s
ProgresoRealEstate – aftermarket
ProgressoRealEstate – hand reg typo
CargoHauling – expired auction.
I compare the domains you folks acquired and compare it to my recent acquisitions and I get so so happy!!!
Hi Elliot,
I like your HomeStorage.com and SepticRepairs.com the best.
Given the recent changes in Google’s algorithm concerning EMD’s, it looks like some of these longer domain names could have a tough road ahead unless they plan on coming up with a banging site.
Great post, I dig your blog!
I’ve had over 100 domains listled on afternic, and not sold 1 domain in the past 6 months. where else are you guys listing domains? I’m only using standard network, because I don’t ahve a supported regirsrtar
I hand reg with discount code $7.99 each:
LAcityHotels.com
MumbaiCityHotels.com
HongKongCityHotel.com
Just realise that LAhotels.com sold for $100,000 this week.
Your LA City Hotels by far lacks quality. Not good comparison to LA Hotels.
Best to go with actual cities, but most of those are gone or will cost you.
$100K for LAHotels is overpriced. IMO, LosAngelesHotels is far better.
A few recent pick ups below
60DayChallenge.com

InexpensiveSEO.com

I have;
LAHotels.co
that i regged almost 2 months ago
@Elliot
I’ve always enjoyed these type of articles.
The moment domainers are asked what they registered, they start listing their attic goods.
Another good article is when you request to buy domains. I’m sure the next “request to buy article” will produce over 150 comments.
In any case, you still run a quality domain blog. Hope your family and you are safe out in NYC. Happy Thanksgiving.

Hi Elliot,
A cold and rainy night, time to web surf.
Just picked up in the last couple of days…
EarSpikes.com
StarterStuds.com
SpaceGlasses.com
GIGlasses.com
I’ll flip them somewhere.
Bet you’re relieved to finally be settled. All the best for the new home Elliot and keep blogging!

απασχοληση.com – Jobs in Hebrew
απασχόληση.com – Employment/Jobs in Hebrew.
those look like greek to me 🙂
oops, you are correct. I mistyped the language. Mixed them up with some Hebrew ones.
Hebrew / Greek, its all wiggly lines to me. Killer names in .com are available in all languages for a song.
While most focus on latin names there is a very interesting opportunity in other languages, imo. More than 50% of internet users don’t speak English so why force them to surf in English???
