Well, it can be both.
On the one hand, you can treat domains like any other investment (stocks, precious metals, you name it). You derive income from your main activity or activities (business, job or something else) and invest in domains among other things.

… yep, there are similarities. I consider myself a nutrition fanatic, so I spend more money on quality food than most people. And I notice this frequently: food isn’t all expensive but *quality* food is. I often see people with two-three full large shopping carts, yet they pay less for everything than I do for one cart that isn’t even full.

Lots of people read domaining blogs because they want answers and not just news/facts, completely understandable. What will happen after new gTLDs go live? What will happen to the reseller market?

One of the most common questions beginners have is something along the lines of:
“I have $x at my disposal, what next?”
A lot of people are tempted to invest their capital in lots and lots of registration fee domains and I’m not saying you can’t make money that way, not at all. What I’m saying is that investing your money in a handful of more valuable domain and investing your money in lots and lots of registration fee domains are two completely different things.

I know it’s tempting to either ignore lowballers or tell them to get lost but in my opinion, being polite is the best approach. It’s not all that uncommon to turn a lowball offer into a decent sale and even if it only happens every once in a while, it can still be worth it.

On the 31st of January 2008, the previous owner (a very nice guy btw) published the first post. About a year and a half later, yours truly took over. Approximately three and a half years later, here we are 🙂

Never quite understood why many people frown upon coupons. Whenever possible, I use coupons because quite frankly, I don’t see why I shouldn’t save money by doing something that only takes a few seconds. You type in the coupon code and bam… there’s your discount.
So back to my question, do you have to pay retail to be cool?

Consumers spend money on the craziest things and domainers don’t represent an exception. Yet a lot of times, people try to save a buck on extremely important investments and let me give you just two examples: the bed you sleep on several hours/day and they chair you sit on when you’re working.

… I admit, it’s something I’ve been guilty of as well and one of my top goals for 2013 is consolidation. Lots of domainers have a few project on their plate as well and if that’s the case as far as you’re concerned, I hope you’ll find my reminder useful.

BIN price or negotiation? That’s just one example of a question you should be asking yourself and to find the best solution for your portfolio (I don’t think there’s a “one size fits all” solution because each portfolio is different and each domain owner has a different financial situation, different expectations and so on), why not split test?
