He has a lot of domains with Xxxvideos & camsite in them, makes sense. Precise longtail domains making him money (theoretically) :thumbsup

and still xxxvideos.com paid $1.4mil redirects to cam white label? :)

*cough *cough MONEY LAUNDERING! *cough *cough

XXXVideos.com (Sale retracted) $1,368,000 Pvt Sale

Looks like this was all a BS publicity stunt because the sale was retracted.

I'll consider a premium price for a domain I've never considered selling....

MyCamShows.com

Asking $250,000

Lease available, contact for details

How are mainstream names doing?

domains arent what they used to be value wise

Depends on who you ask, I still buy them, new products and niches come out daily, just a matter of picking winners and then buying down the vein.

Find something that someone is selling or going to sell, and keep it two words max and stick to .com

Premium domains are worth bank.

Those are long registered or going for good money

Good for him. :)

seems so, also check an asskissing "editor's note" about it over here:

Rick Schwartz Banks Over $2 Million With Blockbuster One-Two Sales Punch

Go buy some of the new gTLD domains, lots of premium ones are still available. I invested in them and am rolling the dice since I missed the boat on .com's.

It may take a while but the right names in the new TLD space will increase in value. Home.loans sold for $500k recently.

Don't believe all the marketing hype from the registries and do some due diligence. For the vast majority, businesses either choose to use .com or a ccTLD if they're targeting a specific country. New TLDs have proven time and time again to be a horrible long term investment. Just look at the track record of .travel, .pro, .biz, .mobi, .tel and .xxx, TLDs that were all launched 5+ years ago. How many developed sites are there using these TLDs? It's lucrative for new TLD registries to pump out domains to deluded speculators who missed the boat on .com, but the aftermarket for these alternative TLD domains after the initial launch is extremely illiquid.

ICM Registry allegedly sold Tube.xxx and Tubes.xxx for $750k. They don't even resolve, meaning they don't even get enough type in traffic for the owner to bother to redirect elsewhere. Gay.xxx allegedly sold for $500k and it's just a shitty VS white label that gets a drip of traffic. Sex.xxx allegedly sold for $3M and gets almost no traffic. Without significant additional expenses for site development and traffic acquisition, it's extremely unlikely these "investors" will ever recover their "investments" in these domains.

As the Talking Heads said so nicely: Stop Making Sense!

:)

I would rather try and brand a new domain name than acquire an older one and try to revive/increase it. But that's just me, I'm the creative type. :)

Don't get me wrong I don't think the new TLD's will ever sell for what .com's go for but there is money to be made in that space. In the last 18 months I've sold 1.run, x.run, e.credit, easy.credit, repair.credit, mortgage.loans all for mid $X,XXX to mid $XX,XXX and I picked the up for cost of registration.

It's not millions but there is money to be made with the right names... and that's the key especially with these new TLD's that have expensive renewal fee's you need to have the right names with the right extensions.

100 great sales ! :thumbsup

xxxvideos.com - I would never pay more than 5k for this domain, period.

not even worth 1K IMO...
