SHANE’S BIG LIST: Tuesday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 21st I have to admit my domain business has taken a hit with my busy May schedule. My overall work schedule has not. Sunday I rode 45 miles, had breakfast with my family, went in to work for the day, came home and planted our spring garden completely full of grafted tomatoes and peppers, and then called 3 people about domains Every sin...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Sunday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 19th Elliot had a post on the popularity of numerics lately and I have to agree I have received a ton of emails from brokers and friends saying they had clients that were looking for NNNN.coms. Unfortunately I got out a little early as I had 10 or 15 at one point but I was getting great offers last fall and sold them all and moved into ...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Saturday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 18th Long story short. Godaddy sucks today and Namejet is pretty solid. Aaron made it by the nursery yesterday and got a glimpse of my day. He said I didn’t look comfortable just sitting and talking with him with all the activity and customers around us. He was partially right. I am always paying attention to my surroundings wh...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Friday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 17th Aaron of AccidentalDomainer and I are going to try and get together again today to see how we can conquer this domain name business thing. I figure if we get 15 minutes together we should both be millionaires in the next few months. I could be wrong. No matter what, he’ll leave with some nice flowers for his Mom. Here are ...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Thursday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 16th One of the better days for names in the last 3 weeks. Couldn’t fit them all in and saved one for myself. What is it? That’s not important. You have to let me have at least one name every once in a while. Enjoy the day and the names. “It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision” -Helen Keller Florex....

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Wednesday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 14th Mark had a great little tidbit on buying domains yesterday. He talks about people being cheap and missing the huge opportunity of putting in a little extra money and buying quality domains rather than a little each time on junk. We don’t keep score in the industry with the numbers of domain but rather on how much money you ma...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Tuesday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 13th Some decent names on the board but as we’ve all seen there aren’t very many good names coming up in the reseller market this spring. But why would there be? People aren’t letting the good names accidentally expire or drop and people are less likely to put them up on the private auctions because there is still pret...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Monday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 13th Looking forward to a new week. Had lots of domain offers with every single one being in the not even close category. Countered and never heard back from a one. Here’s to actually getting a counter offer this week. And here are the names and the daily quote “Laughing at our mistakes can lengthen our own life. Laughing ...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Sunday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 12th Had a record breaking week at the nursery. Not sure if we’re doing something special or the economy is coming back. Either way I’ll take it and I hope it continues. Now on to today’s name. “Not many men have both good fortune and good sense” Marilyn French XXXAuditons.com No bidders. I’ve heard...

All I’ve Ever Wanted Was an Honest Week’s Pay for an Honest Day’s Work I make money because it’s how I keep score. Like most kids that grew up with Atari and Nintendo, I used to love to play video games. Now I still play games but the score is kept in US dollars. If I win I make lots of money. If I lose I lose my time. But my time is valuable, very valuable, so if I’m going to play this...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Saturday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 11th It was nice to see that Rick and Richard talked and worked out the Water School party yesterday. I said that the only thing that seemed to be lacking was communication and evidently that was solved. Good job to both of them. I’m off to work early today because it’s Mother’s Day weekend and in my industry it’...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Friday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 10th If you have a decent portfolio then most likely you’ve had a broker contact you to see if you have a domain of a certain type for one of their clients. If so then they’ve probably asked to see what you’re looking for and your budget as well. At first I always felt that I would pay too much if I used a broker to bu...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Thursday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 9th I was looking through DnJournal’s weekly domain sales list and have to admit that I think I have domains that are as easily as good as many in the list over $10,000. I’m sure many people do because many of those domains are merely domains that were highly wanted. Wanted enough that the buyers were willing to pay the hig...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Wednesday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 8th After the ridiculous comments on the blog here (and many of the others) it’s almost time to go to a Facebook or other form of identifier. I don’t mind anything said by real people that take responsibility, but the proxy server comments are so cowardly. And Metal Tiger? F’n ridiculous. I love the conversation but...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Tuesday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 7th Short list today. Actually short list most days. Less and less quality dropping and there’s a little lull over at Namejet other than the big dot info sale. I see this as a trend as more and more in the future. Selling out of lesser quality and alt tlds and less $2500-$10K names coming to auction. Here is the list and the ...

Bad For Business: This Water School Debate Could Be Handled Much Better I get it. I get the fact that Rick and company has put A LOT of time, effort, and money into bringing us a great domain conference. I completely understand how frustrating it is to have people “ride the bus” without paying for gas. Which is essentially what people will be doing if they go to Vegas with no intent of goin...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Monday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 6th I had dinner last night with some runners from the Tarahumara tribe. They were made famous in the book ‘Born to Run’. It was amazing to talk to anyone that had never taken an elevator or escalator. Everything we take for granted was a new experience for them. They are ultra runners but were in town to run at the flyin...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Sunday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 5th Ahh Sunday. My day off. Which means I only have to work at the store from 10-4. These next four weeks are what I’ve been working for over the last 4 months and because I can sell 3 times what anyone else at the nursery, I have to go in as much as I can physically and mentally take. And I need to get a buffer so I can take ...

SHANE’S BIG LIST: Saturday’s Domains at Auction or Dropping on the 4th Barely a list today. Worst part about it is that it takes just as long to look through all the names but I come up with nothing. An hour and a half wasted. But you don’t find gold every day you pan. Here are today’s names and a joke. I’ll skip the quote and funny it up today. A rancher dies and leaves everythin...
