I agree with you too. But what happened to the names listed on SH but sold on afternic for higher price?

iCauseTrouble:
Lol. Brandable is very crazy. That is why I really don't like reviewing names for people. Nobody knows it all and no one knows the name that will sell. Someone sold a name here on SH like a month ago, I won't have looked at the name twice but it sold at a good price. I was really waowed.

Osas187:

I want to share some notes regarding brandable. Hopefully, it will be of benefit to some.
I'm not a brandable expert, just learning over the years and I hold only a couple of brandables (around 300 or so). So please you can take this info "with a grain of salt". I'll try as much to compile and summarize all different sources I've come across.

Generally, I personally classify brandables into 3::
* Keywords (Single, compound, play on word)
* Blends
* Invented

Let's start with keyword brandables and talk a bit more on them.

Keyword brandables can be;

(1) Single word: this can further be classified into various forms.
+ Dictionary word: eg. Apple.com Hotel.com
+ Play on single word eg. Lyft.com
+ Deliberate misspelling; eg Zanith.com Infinity.com Lyft.com
+ Dropping a letter: eg. Blckr.com Note:: while dropping letters, it's important to note that mostly it's the vowels (one or more) that are dropped. An exception I came across is Grvt.com (the consonant y has been dropped and it can still be read as Gravity, however, note that this is a 4L name)
+ Adding a letter eg. Prannk.com Fiind.com etc

(2) Compound keywords: most popular is the 2 keywords. Some 2 words when combined produce a very strong name. Eg BlueFuel, FaceBook, UrbanNest etc.
A separate post may be dedicated for compound 2 keywords as it's a very vast aspect of brandable domaining. However, some rules to note on Compound keywords are;;
+ Dropping and adding letters to them may not really work eg FceBook , FceBk, FaceeBook may not be a good brand. That method works better for a single keyword.
+ Blending 2 keywords should be done with caution. We will subsequently look into blends brandables.
+Misspelling is permissible, but preferably on only one of the 2 keywords. Eg FastLyft, StellarWorx etc are okay, but StelarWorx, FaztLyft may not be permissible

I will be updating this when I have the time..

Please this post is open to contributions, criticism and corrections

Congrats again on this sale, although I wonder if that's what you'd like to hear given the situation.

I was wondering if you could give an idea or tips on how you price your domains.

I know someone might suggest using GoDaddy tool, Namebio, etc. I do all that but I have never managed to price a domain higher than 2,999 (and I think it's just one or two).

What do you consider before opting for those 3,000+ price tags? Thanks in anticipation.

I have a nice brandable keyword with over 800sv and 10cpc.
the extension ...com and ...xyz is available.
which one do u think I should get?
or both?

Sapiosexuality:
None since we don't know any. No one goes for Brandables because of their sv or CPC. But you will still do what you want.

Telegram234:

ok how about a geo with that 1000sv and 9cpc?

Favourdman:
should it also be the same in all your market places let's say you are doing a follow-up outbound with price reduction or only in landing page

priceactionx:
One thing I want to say is that, we should know that some big sales from 4 figures may also connected to big connections behind the curtains. There are many negotiations going on in parallel markets, many bigwigs in this industry connect via LinkedIn premium services and knows how to pinch some names to their circles just like what is happening in some other industries. It's when they report such sales that we are surprised, but how they got there will always be some level of secrets to us. That's what is called trade secret and it happens in every big transactions.
Having said that, many big sales too are just timing and has nothing to do with the above especially if the name is fully relevant to the company and has lots of online presence (backlinking, seo, low spam scores and the likes).
That's my own angle of some of these big sales.

iCauseTrouble:
Hello expert in the house.
Can someone please explain competition to me in domain parking and flipping?
When checking for domains, is it better to go for domains with high or low competition?
Thanks

@ikhalyfah, I guess the antispam bot deleted your post. Hope you were not banned? Thank God I quoted you before it happened

Osas187:
please do I need to list my domain first in all markets place that I wanted to before setting the dns on my register ? I change my dns to afternic and its the only place that I have successfully listed my domain other markets place is not working or I don’t get how to set it

iCauseTrouble:
LOL. Early days. I was so lost and overwhelmed then. This is also a proof that I learnt most things here.
