My domain, harmonicablog.com, did not sell in spite of having 35 watchers at the end. The watchers seemed to say there was interest, but they might have been just curious. I don’t have any idea now if I can sell the domain.
There is a truism in poker: If you can’t bet smart, bet crazy.
So I re-listed the domain and raised the buy it now price to $99. Next week it goes up $149.99 with a make offer option. I’ll keep raising the price until the perceived value is higher and someone with cash buys it.
I have decided to renew HarmonicaBlog.com if nobody buys it. I’ll figure out some way to make money off of it.
My oldest domain is AudioCD.com which I registered back in 1997. I wrote a program that scanned the whois directory and let me know about domains that were not being renewed. I picked up AudioCD.com and CThreePO.com. I could have had several two character domains, but they cost $35 then, and the domains were meaningless. If regrets were fishes than we all would eat fry.
I’ve been offered money for some of my domains over the years, but I wanted over $1,000. I regret not selling them. I was offered $250 for AudioCD several times by the people who own the AudioCD software package.
Unfortunately, the technology has passed me by, and Audio Cds are on the way out, now. I’ll never get rid of that domain.
I just stumbled on your blog a few days ago and it is great. I have been eagerly following your saga with selling domains. I’d be very interested to know how it all turns out. I’m in the same boat as you are: I bought up a few domains thinking to resell them, plus I even tried selling my established older website & domain I no longer am interested in maintaining. I have been having the same experience as you. I can’t seem to sell a single domain.
Keep us updated on the domain selling adventures.
