can you explain about this a bit more. What sort of realistic returns do you expect, and how long do you hold on to them for?

What can we do after buying domain names and store them.I think your idea is to buy now and sell them when the demand for them increases.

I'm not sure what sort of return on your investment you'd get and how that would compare with other investment possibilities

yeah it would be nice to buy a domain name and then have a company with that same name spring up and get big like google or yahoo and sell it to them for millions! :D ~Mike

Interesting post - Yeah you are RIGHT - Quality should be the focus and NOT quantity when buying domain names.
I have bought about 100 .asia domain names the past 3 days and there are still many "diamonds" available.
If you are after quality get yourself .asia domain names.

Sorry for replying late. I haven't been online often in the past few days.
I cannot state any specific ROI you can expect, as this would very much depend on the individual domain you buy as well as potential buyers. Domain names are still quite difficult to evaluate compared to real estate, for example. There is nobody who is a real appraisal expert, because there are too many variables at work which are also changing quickly. However, domain name prices have constantly gone up, as stated in the article above, and I believe this trend will continue for a very long time.
If you're looking for a database with data of past domain sales, I can recommend Ron Jackson's DNJournal.com and DNSalePrice.com.
Personally, I have been able to rake in returns higher than 10,000 percent in less than 12 months in some cases. It's getting more difficult to get these high returns as the market matures and domains become more expensive, but it is still possible.
Do not get me wrong, though: Domain investing is no get-rich-quick scheme. There are a lot of things that can be done wrong and you have to put a lot of working into it. If you're just starting out I would suggest that you go to domain forums such as the DotSauce.com forum, DNForum.com and DomainState.com. These sites offer great advice and there are always some experienced domain investors around who are willing to share their experiences. Read and learn as much as you can before you start investing money in this business. I have also written an article about getting into the domain business, you can find it here:

I never even thought of the domain market as an investment opportunity until a few months ago. It sounds kind of like futures trading. Basically, if I understand correctly, you're making an educated guess as to which domains will be worth more in the future. Do you consider the age of the domain, Google PR, etc. as well, or does that become irrelevant once the domain switches hands?

I don't know, i really think that domain parking is such a waste of time.
The amount of money that you make from domain parking is so little compared to the possible income if you build a minisite for the same domain name and monetize it
I think people have cottoned on to the fact that the domain name plays a very small role in search engine optimization. So unless you are a big company that needs a domain with it's name in it and that domain is already taken, i am not sure why people pay a premium for domain names any more.

I am selling my two domains, Yafoogle.com and Foogletube.com. I have listed these on Sedo.com and will sell both for a reasonable price. If yafoogle was set up right it could be the next Google or Yahoo. If interested contact me at maggy@yafoogle.

It's true...you make very little on PPC. I have great domains(parked) and in 21 hits , I made $2.52. Visit my website at domainhub.info and see the 500 domains I have for sale.

I have a couple .coms that I think are pretty decent, not sure where I should go to try to sell them though. I purchased
What do you think of those domains? I thought they were pretty decent, certainly worth more than the 8 bucks apiece, no?
Any suggestions for where to go peddle them at? Sitepoint? Ebay? I really have no idea.

It does seem harder and harder to get rid of quality domain names nowadays. People don't want to spend more than it costs to register them at Godaddy unless they are one word .com's
