Gold, Silver, or a Domain Name to Hedge Against Inflation?

submitted 8 years ago by ronald757 to demcra

Gold is a store or wealth. Silver is gold for the common man. Domains are a new frontier for anyone who cannot afford gold or silver. I started collecting domain names several years ago and the only guidance I had was a “Domains for Dummies” book. The book gave me some basic information that had value. I have learned to take whatever information available and appreciate that information for whatever value it has.

\

That being said i have have two unsolicited contacts for the my modest domain portfolio. Being new to the domain industry I thought I could hold out for what I felt was the true value of the domain. That was before I knew of domain evaluation tools of which some are free and some have monthly charges. Anyhow, I realize now that the offers I received were probably in the ballpark of where they should have been ( at that time ).

\

So what I learned is to now reach out to a community of interested individuals to present my domains in what I hope is an interesting presentation and allow the crowd to initiate conversations and submit their bids according to the conceived value. As previously mentioned I have come to appreciate the value of domains.

\

Some people compare domains as a everyday portfolio of wealth in that the domains can be held for future appreciation in industry specific niches and or for new niches that arise in the marketplace, business world and or through technological innovation. And then of course there is always the far reaching vision of those that see a perfect match or even not so perfect match of a domain name from which a website can be developed and maybe sold for significant appreciation.

\ Anyhow, just my thoughts. What are yours?
