My first sale using self-brokerage on @afternic... If you're open to accepting reasonable offers, the ability to communicate quickly and directly with a buyer should help to close more sales - especially in the sub-$10k price range.

It takes time to learn, and time for capital to compound... maximising time in the game is half the battle. Lots of domainers give up before they reach a critical velocity.

Higher quality names offer better liquidity and higher sale prices, but the market is more efficient in pricing them - so margins are tighter and returns are lower. Cheaper domains (such as hand-registrations, unexplored niches and alternate extensions) will give you less

I'm running something that looks roughly like this: - Inverse relationship for acquisition cost to expected ROI - Try to keep reinvestment moving towards higher tiers - Anticipate longer hold time for tiers A/B - On C/D/E tiers, reduce the multiple as hold time increases
