Domain Flipping - Auction Day Round 2
May 14, 2008 Domain Flipping No CommentsAuction day yet again and initially I thought I wasn’t going to do very well this round as up until this morning only 3 of the 7 domains had bids on them and the 3 bids that were on it were below cost price. This included the page rank 3 domain I puchased but I was still really confident that I would make money on that one.
One slight mistake I made was to end these auctions while I was at work and being in the factory (remember I just an average Joe) meant I had no access to the internet. While it’s not overly important to be there when the auctions end it would have been fun to watch if anything was happening.
Another little downer was that one of the auctions from the first round still has not been paid for but luckily it was the one that sold for less than the purchase price anyway so it’s not so bad.
The Results?
Well after scrambling home to see what had happened with my auctions l was happy to find that all 7 had indeed sold and as with round 1, only one of them had sold for less that purchase price so I was moderately happy with that.
Did I Make Money?
Well my domain costs for this round was around $50 for the 7 domains and I ended up…………more than TRIPLING my money! So while last round was good, this week was even better. The Page Rank 3 domain I purchased ended up selling for more than 8 times what I paid for it while another domain sold for 5 times what I paid for it and another twice what I paid for it so all in all most of the profits came from these 3 domains.
At the moment I’m in a bit of a quandry with what to do next round. At this moment in time there are a stack of people doing the same thing ( I suspect due to them purchasing the same guide as I did) that I am which means there is an oversupply of domains at the moment up for auction so I’m just wondering whether I should miss the next round and grab some more domains and have a real big domain flipping round 4 or should I just go ahead and try and flip the domains that I have purchased over the last week. At this point in time I have only got 5 domains that I can flip so I might miss a week and just concentrate on getting more domains.
That’s if for now, I’m off to scan the ususal places to see if I can find any potential domains and then I’ll think about whether or not to put some auctions up next week.
On another note I’m trying to decide when method I’m going to try to make money next week with, I’ve got a couple of ideas in my head but I’m not sure which one to pursue . I’m pretty confident which ever idea I choose I will make money but I’ve just got to decide which one to try!
