Hope you had a nice weekend. I want to share a handful of my recent aftermarket acquisitions and I welcome you to share what you bought lately. There is no need to mention price or venue, but you are welcome to do so if you’d like.
- EventManagement.com (private acquisition – includes website)
- ParquetFloor.com (auction)
- ScarletMacaw.com (auction)
- HandCalligraphy.com (auction)
- BeerRatings.com (private acquisition)
- WebsiteLookup.com (auction)
I am actively looking to sell BeerRatings.com and ChineseProverbs.com if you have an interest in either. What are some of the names you recently bought?
I like ChineseProverbs.com – my favorite one:
“Who not lock domain lose it – Confucius”
I like ChineseProverbs.com – my favorite one:
Less is MORE and buy nothing is the best!
DYERISLAND.COM
sharkweek
I’ll share a few recent aquisitions:
Artistgram.com (auction & my fav grab on the list)

LikeThisPicture.com (auction)
ILikeThePrice.com (auction)
Appastasia.com (hand reg)
3dDesignCompanies.com (hand reg)

Trying to move in the direction of things trending with my “hand reg/auction play money” or a small gamble on brandables for end users, I guess…I tend to not gamble with my investments, but a few domains here and there are ok to me as long as I put in the effort to sell or monetize/build.
Du yu won tu bai dis do me in!
Indulgement (auction)
SatireGifts.com (hand reg)
SatireGift.com
ArtsyPillows.com (handreg)
ArtsyPillow.com
Elliot, thanks for the inspiration today 😉
A couple comments have gone into spam because Akismet plugin thinks multiple domain names means spam. If your comment(s) goes into the spam folder, I’ll see it and manually approve it eventually.

TepinPepper.com
TepinPeppers.com
Bon apetit!

Some great domains, Elliot. EventManagement.com is a fantastic domain. The exact match and CPC stats on it are excellent.
One of my favorite recent purchases (acquired privately) is: VibrationAnalysis.com
Elliot, you should look at 2012DragonBaby.me and related domains; as you have a DragonGirl having been born in the lucky Year of the Dragon
January WSJ article noted effort made by many Chinese to have baby in a ‘Year of the Dragon’ considered especially lucky
Huh?
spammer..he’s even using your LOGO! These guys comment on blogs just to get their URL in. Don’t understand it.
What logo of mine is he using?
ChiaSeeds.com (auction)
Leukopenia (auction)
Was 2nd highest bidder for Maxidress.com
🙁
Tony good work bidding me off for Leukopenia 🙂
INCREDOUBLE.COM
INGESTIBLESENSOR.COM
4KGLASS.COM
@ Elliot, I like your list, esp. ParquetFloor & WebsiteLookup.
@ Michael, I like 3dDesignCompanies & 3dHomeModeling – you know I have 3DDesignSoftware!
Thanx for asking. Along with TabletHybrid (under development), I cornered a niche in July with hand regs, all dot com:
hybridremote
hybridremotes
remotehybrid
So, you people didn’t like hybridremote[s] dot com . . . Today, Nintendo announced its Nintendo TVii on the Wii U gamepad: http://i.tv/blog/nintendo-and-i-tv-team-up-to-bring-tv-to-wii-u
You’ll be able to access Netflix, HuluPlus, Amazon Instant Video, a dvr like tivo, and regular tv channels in one guide, and use it as a remote control to select the program for the tv screen; then you’ll be able to chat about the program, play games, and take quizzes about the show you’re watching.
It will be truly hybrid when you can modify your air conditioning and dim the lights on the same device . . .
. . . adjust the screen width, play ancillary content, and turn the tv on and off, all on one remote! Right now, I have 3 remotes for one tv!
Hand reg’d OverlayUI.com yesterday, so you can take a shot at that!
It’s not a .com, but I recently bought Comic.co
Thanks for letting me share some of my recent domain registrations
Frankincense.co.za (hand reg)
MusicStreaming.co.za (hand reg)
MusicStreamingApp.co.za (hand reg)

I like your ChineseProverbs.com however, think your BeerRatings.com maybe in competition with my BeerResources.com – lol.
Thanks for the post.
I like parquetfloor.com – very surprised there wasn’t more interest (I think < 10 bidders).
karmacoach.com

Also Elliot- Thank you for this! It’s awesome that you open up discussion for others to share what they are investing in and not just self promotion, which is not what I’m implying you’re doing. You’re simply sharing what you’ve grabbed recently. Quite fair and honorable.
Thanks!

Hi Elliot and everybody!
I noticed that you nearly always speak about “english language” domain names. What do you think about portuguese and spanish language domains investments?
I would be happy to get your opinion about those two domains :
– Jogos-online.com (“Jogos online” means “online games” in portuguese, and represents 6 millions exact monthly searches in Brazil)
– Juegos-gratis.mx (“Juegos gratis” means “free games” in spanish, and represents 2 millions exact monthly searches in Mexico)
Any price range?
Thanks in advance!

I work hard. Are you willing to work hard? Domainers want a big reward without much effort – what about you?
Acquistions.com is owned by Mike Berkens. Must be a common typo made by domainers.
lol
LOL… fixed 😉
EventManagement is fantastic – congrats again!

Why would anyone dislike my beautiful Incredouble.com?
I’m going to use it for a major conference double coupon savings project. How would you love incredouble savings on major conferences such as T.R.A.F.F.I.C in Vegas next year? Check back by December, the savings will be incredible.
incredouble.com coming 2013
I like the recent acquisition thing, very good Elliot!

Elliot,
I don’t appreciate you pushing the “dislike” button multiple times on my posts and domains, Really!!
Stop it. I know it’s you.
LOL… you do know you can only push like or dislike once, right?
but as the admin, you get more buttons, no?
I have no control over the likes/dislikes. This was custom made for my blog, so it’s not like there’s an actual plugin with a control panel. Even I don’t know who is pushing like or dislike, which is pretty obvious since there’s no sign in required to use that functionality.
Ok, I pushed a couple of “dislike” for yours thinking you started it. Don’t give me dislike if you don’t want any, fair?
Oh, any jackass can buy a domain, but it takes a builder to develop a brand – incredouble.com
Coming Spring 2013
I look forward to seeing it.
Thanks for all the interesting posts and useful information.

Probably because other people are as confused as I was.
As I mentioned before, I have no way of tracking who pressed what buttons (or who pressed any buttons).
If I could read minds, I probably wouldn’t be in this business, and I certainly wouldn’t be blogging. 🙂
Hand registration of the day:
EntertainmentPublicist.com – $3.13 on GoDaddy.
Bought:
Bonny.me
TodaysNews.tv
Ecological.co
You guys didn’t like my HybridRemotes. What about DualScreenApps?
Like or dislike doesnt concern me.
It is easier to press ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ than giving out a constructive feedback.
The important thing is how you develop the domain and make it ‘more’ valuable.
It’s also important to know when not to spend time and money developing something. For instance, if you aren’t passionate about a topic, it’s likely that you’ll lose interest and that doesn’t bode well for the success of the site.
@ James said:
That’s what I always thought, and it is my modus operandi . . . People think my portfolio is lame, but there is really a theme running through my emerging tech domains! When you own names as good as mine, development of at least some of them is obigation.
@ Elliot said:
Well said! I liked your comment, too. Sometimes it’s hard to come by validation in the domain community. There is nothing left, but to stick to your narrow vision, if you believe in it.
@ Louise
Looks like my archery domains above suck 🙂
In this business you have to have a thick skin.
“if you aren’t passionate about a topic, it’s likely that you’ll lose interest and that doesn’t bode well for the success of the site.”
My understanding is that, even if you are not particularly interested in a topic, you can have articles, blog posts, etc added at very low cost. Trying to sell advertising space and constantly monitoring forum comments could be prohibitive for me, no matter how passionate I feel about a particular subject.
Acro holds the world record for “dislike” on Elliot’s blog with this post, look, I will post it below, here, look:

The feature is fairly new. I am sure someone else will take the record. Probably another post about recently acquired domain names.
Recent is relative…I generally get 0-5 domains a year.
My favorite recent acquisition is:
ParkingGames.com
Hand registration of the day:
Sodaplan.com made a small blog and poll about NY mayor Michael R.Bloomberg’s plan to prohibit sales of large sugary drinks in ny..
Hope i Will get a better idea soon..
Is it much better to buy a website rather than building it myself?
Depends on the website and your ability to create and market a website.
