Why I ate a bucket of Nutella while on NameJet

Posted by DomainGang on June 8, 2016, at 11:34 am

Using NameJet to sell domains is a nail-biting experience. Let me tell you, I wasn’t this nervous when as a teenager my best friend’s mom made me a man. Watching bids blink across the screen one after another, from NameJet giants such as “First” and “TwoTwo” made my stomach clench. As a domain investor, it’s […]

Posted by DomainGang on May 11, 2016, at 5:26 pm

Can’t beat this guy! The NameJet bidder alias “first” won the bidding war for the domain 27.com. Long associated with an unbeatable bidding record, user “first” on NameJet is in fact a Chinese group of bidders, pooling their cash.

NameJet : Auto-complete error or secret gTLD domain?

Posted by DomainGang on October 29, 2015, at 7:10 pm

After receiving the latest newsletter from NameJet today, we started perusing the listed domains. Lots of goodies currently being auctioned, including two letter .com domain OV.com, and many LLL .com’s in the mid to high five figures. One thing that caught our attention was the checkboxes with domain extensions – TLDs, gTLDs and ccTLDs. These […]

XYZ Generation : Did the domain Negari.com sell?

XYZ Registry founder, Daniel Negari, is not just trying to convince everyone that dot .XYZ domains are the future; he lives and breathes his own brand.

More money : 8 ways to get higher ROI for your domain names

Posted by DomainGang on April 20, 2015, at 1:31 pm

Let’s face it: not all domains are created equal. If you missed being an adult – or even, being born – during the 1990s, chances are that the best domain names were scooped up by industry legends like the Castello Brothers. Obviously, you can compensate by spending money to invest in domains available in the […]

These days, domain auction venues really want to ‘milk’ it; advertising auctions for days, and up to the last minute via email campaigns and social media. Obviously, while this is beneficial for the seller and the domain venue, it’s not necessarily good for the bidders. 😉 Here’s a list of seven points, on why we […]

Seven points: Should you disclose your recent domain acquisition or not?

Posted by DomainGang on March 9, 2015, at 6:37 pm

When registering or buying domain names, most domain investors want to flat out brag about it. Did you beat Frank Schilling or Ammar Kubba in a NameJet auction? Good for you. Both domainers are actively bidding on expiring domain auctions. But is it smart to announce exactly which domain you won and paid dearly for? […]
