Is it advisable to register a org name extension that the net, co, com, info has already be taken?

Nikul Sanghvi said: ↑
Ledger dot org ... $30k

Inbound email via hypernames.co
Bought on Sedo for $6k on 16/11/17 (seller began an auction using my counter-offer, but no other bids)

---

22nd Nov: I got the domain into my account and set up a landing page on hypernames.co - with an asking price of $45k. Had a couple of inquiries within the first few days, but nothing serious.

28th Nov: I had a five-figure inbound offer (via a broker). I countered at $30k, which was accepted.
The Escrow transaction recently completed, and the buyer was revealed as a well known crypto brand, manufacturing hardware wallets.

It's a great fit for them, so I'm surprised they didn't bid against me when the domain was on auction.
My guess is that it was flagged to them after my purchase price was published on Namebio.

Could have pushed harder but the returns are satisfactory in relation to the timeframe (six days).

---

Sharing my research process (for pre-purchase rationalisation) with everyone here:

- I downloaded the ICOTracker database from Coindesk to analyse the use of different TLDs and keywords within the crypto space (which gave me confidence to risk the .org extension)
- Manually scraped LinkedIn, Twitter and Crunchbase to reference the use of the term 'ledger' and 'distributed ledger' in company names and descriptions
- Used a keyword tool for search data and SERP ranking difficulty for those same terms
- Manual parse through Google using 'site: ledger' for existing domains that contain the word ledger
- Namebio, DnJournal and Namepros for seeing the crypto niche trending for domain sales.
- Usual searches to see what's happening on www.ledger.* (about 25 other extentions)
- A few days of deep reading, using CTRL+F to keep an eye out for the word (50+ articles across BBC, FT, Medium, Wired, Coindesk, Blockgeeks, etc)

My counterpoints for arguments against the investment (or for limiting the investment) mapped out as:
- Namebio data for .org sales (within the last year), showed low probability of selling above $15k.
- I had no experience of ever buying and selling .org beforehand. My early expectation was to hold the domain for at least a few years.
- The term ledger exists as a trademark within publishing - theledger//com (ledger media group), patriotledger//com, etc
- I was actually nervous that the company called Ledger was already using ledgerwallet//com. They also own ledger//fr and ledger//co. At the time, I saw this negatively as a potential UDRP threat and not as opportunity.
- Google Trends showed no significant uplift patterns for the search term over either the last 12 months or five years
- Although SERP difficulty was 59/100, KWFinder showed that PPC competition and resulting CPC were both very low.

Final profits also took a small hit because I hand-regged around 100 other related .COM and .CO domains throughout the above process.

Would love to claim some special intuition or foresight - but the truth is that I did a little bit of homework, took the chance and somehow got incredibly lucky on timing! Congrats to the buyer and a big thank you to the broker - not sure if I'm allowed to name them but they were super professional.

A quick look on Google and Bing, i can't seem to find any End-user for Missouri Trailer but i can find some for Oklahoma Door. So you can go through google and send mail to the end-users with the sales letter on this thread .

IMO, GillPay is brandable but not a strong one, Gill sort of devalues it. Just 2 Gill domains on BB. Thats a red flag.

Congrats bro. You didn't tell us the lessons

Know your domain worth and price them accordingly. If you are not sure of the price for the domain, leave it at "make offer ".

Research those making offers on your domain and counter according to their pocket.

Do not allow any potential buyer to intimidate you as if you don't have any options.

It's my lessons and their is a way I understand it.
Thanks.

Thanks boss, I would do that right away. I just pray i'm able to make sales because these are the first set of domains I'm buying after failing to sell my first domain over a year ago.

Nice lessons. Am really an advocate of the make offer option , it gives me the opportunity to research more about the domain and the potential buyer so I can fix an appropriate price

Some people think we are just joking here? No strategy, no focus, no ideas just want free money? It's not like that. Even some brandables are not selling as high as some tagged prices especially long handreg names. No free lunch in lunchin. Treat it as a business, and an investment, get quality names if you want it to fly high and know what kind of price tag you will put and open to negotiations. Never rush to make it looks desperate, with that, you might have good ride.... I keep learning daily...and vigorously..
