So we had a few weeks of mediocre lists. Will the trend change or will it continue?

When will the quality domains return from Summer Vacation??

Or is it just good as it is, with talks of recession and market crash looming hard and heavy??
 
I feel this is a dangerous time to be foolish with your money and as I stated in an earlier TBR post, I've raised the bar on what I go for and lowered my max-price on mid-range lottery tickets.

I haven't stopped buying (yet) but I'm more careful on what I do buy. The domain retail market is in a definite lull (even the big boys are being hit hard - Namejet revenue dropped by 55% in July while Snapnames was down by 25%) and you can see domainers scrabbling for a sale all over Twitter. The Crypto Crash is a big part of this, probably bigger than many think, as that was a rising tide that lifted all boats.

If a premium week did hit the TBR (multiple top LLLs and some premium 1-words) it would be interesting to see where the prices would end up.

Indeed. We need to see some quality LLLs or one word domains to drop and I do not wish it on anyone here to be the contributor by mistake even.

Hope the big companies who have always grabbed money from the little guys who will end up dropping domains because they kicked the guy who was maintaining their domain portfolio ( because you know why) and end up enriching the drop list.

I see everything as an opportunity, as people need cash I pick up domains at reasonable prices. I just picked up a 4 letter pronounceable word where I contacted the owner almost a year ago. The money I offered then was not accepted but in today's climate the owner decided it was a fair price and gave up the domain.

So the more I see crypto and NFT's taking a hit the more I know some of these people will require cash liquidity at some point. Since so many crypto and NFT owners also have choice domains the pickings are ripe if you know where to look and who to target.

I rarely participate in more than a few domains on TBR because I am not hot on the bidding process and competition for a single domain. I still do the vast majority of my purchases behind the lines with the domain owners directly.

Big money will still be spent. Even with the economy supposedly slowing down, a lot of domain investors buy not only for the short run but the long haul as well. If not for themselves but for their kids as well. I believe Mapledots has mentioned that on a few occasions.

I also think that many domainers have money “stashed” away (sock drawer?) waiting for another big TBR week or even some nicely priced domains for sale on here.
