During the past two years, the introduction of numerous gTLDs rejuvenated the domain industry and the domain aftermarket.<\/p>\n
Domain sales have sustained a high volume and average sales price, indicating a healthy secondary market for domain names.<\/p>\n
Naturally, the value of .com, .net and .org domains – the original triad<\/em> – has continued to rise.<\/p>\n Many potential buyers returning to seek again a domain they turned down four to five years ago, express their amazement about the current asking price.<\/p>\n Valuations for quality domains are rising, not dropping, as time goes by.<\/p>\n When you receive consistent inquiries about your domain portfolio, your best price exists at the moment you respond to an inquiry. A potential buyer should be told, as a fair warning, that the domain will never be cheaper, it will only become more expensive to acquire in the future.<\/p>\n Doubling your asking price should come as no surprise. Many domains remain undervalued, and entering five figure territory, or more, is a matter of strategic pricing.<\/p>\n Holding assets long term allows one to deliver a reassuring response to anyone attempting to devalue a domain that has been held for years: the domain will be more expensive next year.<\/p>\n This doesn’t mean that every domain name can appreciate this much, or that fast. However, as time goes by, your initial investment continues to remain a unique asset that ages well – just like well-preserved wine.<\/p>\n On that note, never make a threat to raise prices without actually doing so. Make it a promise, and act upon it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During the past two years, the introduction of numerous gTLDs rejuvenated the domain industry and the domain aftermarket.
