Unfortunately the reality is some of us aren't all rich, and would be happy to have even just one or two good keyword domains... Either to start a business with, or to have on hand incase that person ever does decide to start a business... Some of us haven't worked in over a year due to covid, and are on ei... my dayjob is a cook/chef and in hospitality... or use to be precovid as I live in a small city that has 50k people... So I haven't worked in a year... also this last lockdown we have been in since december 26th and now finally in the red just this week.
I have had to move back in with my parents, and made tough life decisions... it really sucks when a year ago these domains would have gone for 500-700 have now more than doubled in a tbr auction.. estibot rates cupid alone at 1.1k and it's at that now....
You don't have to be a psychic to know that there will be more drops like this list, and the list that happened a couple weeks ago with 7-12 premiums or " decent " domains on them... With covid it's sad to say but many people with good domains have died. Many good business owners have had to let domains drop along with there businesses without doing research on finding out what the value of there domain is for sale on the internet...
So I still think it's extremly stupid and selfish that rich domainers that are engineers, or doctors, online marketers that already make six figures in there day job not including what there bringing in on there online revnue are driving up prices more than they need to be when there will be other keyword domains coming...
That's my rant for the day as I would have been happy with just one of these!
Whitenight.....I hear ya.... I self-destructed a couple of years back.....so this industry will "wait us out" and I see some similar players that followed me.....yup and jumped at the opportunity, I don't blame them, in fact, they had the forethought and/or resources to keep the dream going.......but understand this is a tough industry,
So my suggestions is simple......forget the past....forget covid......be thankful for what you have and be selective, pick your battles, as DomainShane said "outwork the rich" and find your self a good chef brandable....and make it work
Forget those with deep pockets........find the holes that most are too lazy to look into.......you got this....~ian
