My week in drop catching reviewed

Archived in the category: Domain News
Posted by: Jamie Zoch -

Last week I had posted it was time to have some more fun with drop catching! Well, I have been doing it again and here are some of the domain names that I have been able to grab. Again, these are all 2nd tier drops, which I have paid registration fees for and no software was used to grab them.

The most important thing with drop catching 2nd tier drops is to have a Great Source and your process. The source is the domain names that will become 2nd tier drops. The process is the registrar you use to grab them and knowing the times of the drops so you know when to start and stop catching the domains.

So here are some domains that I grabbed and why I went after them……

VCNinc(.)comIGDinc(.)com Domains like these are good for companies that do not want to pay for their matching 3 letter acronym. They would rather pay less then $3K then $30K for their LLL. I have sold one hand reg like this for $1,000 via afternic but that was also the only one that I had. Namebio.com reports 6 other sales of LLLinc domain names since 2007 with the average sale price of $1,333. My investment of $7.44 and a sale near this average sale price would explain my investment.

TimeToUnify(.)com, WhoDoesThis(.)com Call to action domain names are and will always be HOT! They make sense for companies to use for marketing because of the already known terms! IMO, clear call to action domains are good investements in the .com TLD.

BudgetWills(.)com It just clearly makes sense! Perfect for any lawyer world wide that offers wills. I seem to do well with the keyword Budget at the start! I sold Budgetimages(.)com recently for $1,880.

TotalSwitch(.)com, vDigger(.)com, TractorBlog(.)com, Sibz(.)net & ApparelPros(.)com . These domains were purchased for different reasons. Mainly because I just liked them. Some just because they make sense and have a use like Tractor Blog. A good deal of different tractors on the market and blogging is hot. vDigger is good for just about any online tool or software progam. Apparel Pros is great for any apparel business.

So that was 10 domains, but I got a total of 18. The other 8 are niche markets which I wish not to reveal right now. So I think it’s very clear that there are some great domains to be purchased on the 2nd tier drop levels. I also missed several domains that people (manily companies) beat me out on, but I had about a 95% success rate for the domains that I went after. Again, I didn’t use Any Software to capture these, all hand registered the second they dropped. 

Feel free to let me know what you think of the domains that I grabbed.

Thank you Jason! I personally would pass on the Buy-Apparel since I have never owned a hypened domain. ;)
