Yay!!! I am closer in wealth to Jeff Bezos than he is to Elon Musk

No. The domain is not suitable for anything. It will be used by some c@ssino spammer who will milk it for some leads before burning it It was bought for the back links

Is this what the big guys call The NDA? My first ever NDA in that case.

So it begins :)

I purchased a good 5N from someone on namepros back in my early days when I was evaluating different types of names This was a double repeat and checked all the boxes The seller knew it was a blacklisted number in China Well, I should have done more due diligence but it is what it is and I am not one to blame others even though I would classify knowingly selling a blacklisted name to a newbie as scamming (firewall is a big deal and number names are mostly only used in China).. But I din't whine or moan sicne the renewal was low and I hoped that a domain could be un blacklisted if not used for the blacklisted purpose long enough But I didn't have time to learn to unblacklist it so I kept the name on auto renew And lo and behold, I had 6 different whoius inquiries from chinese brokers offering me a good wholesale One even made an offer via afternic. We will see what this is about huh.. BTW, this is the only number name I own and said fuck it after I found out that i bought a lemon

Congrats and all the best for the next one :)

I am sorry I only watch the USA from afar as I have business interest but am I allowed to like this guy hahaha I mean I am conflicted but he seem to say all the right things lol

I don’t use any database anymore I am not building any kw db I don’t even use kw filter on expired domains anymore This is for every one Read again I said to build a list manually The database is not something very valuable. The top 100 kw from Dotdb or any list you can find on the internet covers 80% of the kws and that is way more than you need The idea is to build a kw list manually That process or exercise is the learning and you will discover many things in the process so much so that your db is no longer even important

One of the projects that every domain investors must do. Manually build a DB of keywords. If I had a domaining course, I would include it as a workshop/exercise Not a random list from the internet But a list you build manually Word by word category by category Place them on a spectrum or scale of quality Attributes of the KW Why is it good Where it is applicable (Meaning which industries will like buy them) Words that are strong Suffix Words that are strong prefix Different 2 word combinations 2 word combinations based on Synergy Generic words that can used to generate list for root trending words like Agentic, when the opportunity arrives

Me or Any investor not investing on a Tld is good for the investor, then why do the .si investors always have a meltdown when I say I don’t invest in it?

A Company bought a domain from me for 10K And then using that domain as trademark, filed a UDRP against someone else and won Never a dull day in domaining

My Dear Bros and Sis I bought this names at a promotional discount last year and I barely broke even on these even at the promos cost. It was a test of sorts that failed. If you are paying auction price renewal, you will be at a deep loss Not all expired auctions are gold...

May was a record-breaking month for Efty with the highest transaction volume and highest dollar value processed since the launch of Efty Pay. A few interesting data points from 2026 so far: .com continues to dominate, accounting for 79% of all sales processed through the platform. .ai is the clear runner-up at 7% of sales volume, with an average sale price of $12,159. That's 2.27x the average .com sale price. Some of the hottest keywords we've seen across all 2026 sales: bet/betting, lab/labs, casino, and agent. Lease to Own continues to gain momentum. In May, 16% of all transactions were LTO deals, and that percentage is growing month after month. The average LTO transaction was $14,966, roughly 2.4x the average Buy It Now sale. Efty reached 6,476,000 visits in May. That's a lot of potential buyers looking at your domains. Onward to June 💚

Congrats and Best of luck

Massive congratulations

Funny thing I had a name listed at 9988 Offer came in at 9989 on spaceship I thought it must be a fake offer so I just accepted He just paid Getting verified now

Congratulations to the OG Atom Seller

My first 7K After my last 5K I couldn’t run as the temp had become unbearable to run. And I only did incline walk after my workout And then today as I was walking towards the treadmill after my deadlift session, I said fuck it and packed up and went home. Changed my shoes quickly and went running in the evening. And I did 4 laps of our track. Last lap was no fun. My knees started to feel uncomfortable Running has a totally different sets of systems But I am having fun. Who knows. I might even run a Marathon haha

I did a deep dive into our 290 LTO deals at @afternic and discovered some valuable insights concerning cancellations, early payoffs, and trends. 📉 Cancellation Rates Our raw cancellation rate was 26.9%, but that understates risk because it counts active deals as non-cancellations. A better number is the resolved cancellation rate: cancellations divided by completed LTOs. Historically, among our LTOs that have reached an outcome, about 59% completed successfully and 41% were cancelled. ⏱️ Cancellation Timing Cancellations are heavily front-loaded. Obviously the more payments they make the less likely they are to walk away at the next payment. But at what point are they really committed? Of our 78 cancellations, 28 (36%) made only one payment, 40 out of 78 (51%) made at most two payments, and 63 out of 78 (81%) made at most six payments. Once a deal avoids cancelling after only one payment, its resolved success rate rises to about 70%. Once a deal avoids the early churn window and gets to around six payments, the resolved success rate rises to around 86-88%. 📆 Cancellation and Term Length Most of our LTOs (87%) were in the 12-23 month range, so I'm not sure how statistically significant this data is. But there was a pretty clear pattern that the longer the length of the LTO, the higher the raw cancellation rate was. The raw cancellation for LTOs less than one year was 25%, for 12-23 months it was 25.3%, for 24-35 months it was 31.2%, and for 36 months it was 53.8%. You might think the longer the term, the more manageable the monthly payments are, and the more likely they'll be to stick around. But in this dataset, longer terms were clearly riskier. Personally, I’d be cautious offering terms longer than 24 months. 💳 Cancellation and Monthly Payment Looking only at 12-month LTOs, the raw cancellation rate was essentially the same for sub-$200 monthly payments vs $200-299 payments vs $300-499 payments. But interestingly, once the monthly payments reached $500 the raw cancellation rate dropped by more than 50%. That's somewhat intuitive though, someone committing to a $500 monthly payment is probably more serious and well-funded. 🤔 Confusing Cancellations Three buyers cancelled with only one payment left, which seems pretty unbelievable. In 8 cases, a cancelled LTO later sold again shortly afterward — 6 through LTO and 2 through BIN. The data doesn’t include buyer identity, but given normal domain sell-through rates and the short timing, these were very likely buyers coming back after missing a payment or regretting the cancellation. ⚡ Early Payoffs 17% of completed LTOs were paid off early. Nearly half of early payoffs happened close to the finish line, but of the early payers, 32% paid off after only 1–2 payments. 📈 LTOs By Year 2023: 13 (53 annualized) 2024: 106 2025: 114 2026: 57 (137 annualized) We're seeing a steady trend upward as LTOs stack up. 🎁 Wrap Up I hope this helps you get a better picture of what you might experience if you enable LTOs. The interesting takeaways for me were how heavily front-loaded LTO churn is, how longer terms reduce your odds of success, how little the monthly payment amount affects the odds except at the high end, and how more than 10% of cancelled LTOs still ended up in a sale shortly after.

YTD 2024: 420K YTD 2025: 410K YTD 2026: 550K Not where I want to be yet, but Always be zooming out to see how you are trending long term. PSA: Not depending heavily on trends will improve your long term trends
