I Scream, You Scream, Do We All Scream For Ice Cream?

The model is based on “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure”; or what I prefer to refer to as “seeking a vanity buyer”. The model is further based on “buy low” and sell “very high”. The basic strategy is to buy expiring domain names, or expired domain names, that would have little value to domain name speculators who buy domain names for passive income; but due to the intrinsic value of the domain name to a specific class of buyer one is able to buy for below $100.00 (many times for $10) and resell the name for an average price of $2,000.

Sound too good to be true? Well, actually it is not too good to be true; and this is where the business below is more a business with a strong eCommerce component, but not an eCommerce business. This business will require that almost every sale involves a phone call and email. My criteria for a business to be an eCommerce business is it must complete 80%, or more, of sales through the use of the website; without the aid of any other means of communication with the customer.

To better explain the model let’s use an example. For starters you watch the pending expiration domain names. Two sites I can recommend are Snapnames.com and GoDaddy’s Domain Name Aftermarket. Snapnames has the exclusive rights to selling Network Solutions’ expiring domain names. NetSol was the original registrar for domain names, meaning the cream of the crop related to expiring domains. Go Daddy is currently the largest registrar of domain names on the planet. The universe even.

At the time of writing the domain name icecreamparlorforsale.com was available as an expiring domain name. Meaning the present owner of the name had not paid the annual renewal fee. icecreamparlorforsale.com is not much of a domain name for most of us. Well, just about all of us!

Yet, what if you were a Business Broker who specialized in selling Ice Cream Parlor Business Opportunities? The intrinsic value of the domain name to the Ice Cream Parlor Business Broker is much higher than the $10 you would pay to buy the expiring domain name. At present, the average purchase price of a vanity domain name is $2,000.00. So you’re getting it, right? Buy for $10, plus the annual registration of about $10, so your total investment is $20. Now what do you do?

You get on the phone, or locate email addresses, of every Ice Cream Parlor Business Broker in the world. One of them, you are almost assured, will have an interest in buying your newly acquired domain name. Even if you were not able to sell this particular domain at the average $2,000 price you are most likely going to earn $500 for the sale.
