Domain recession?

I've recently been trying to sell a couple of domains through sedo.com. I get very few offers and those I get is about 10 times lower than I was offered about 2-3 years ago.

Is the domain name business in a deep recession or what is going on?

 

all are saving money that's it its not good time to sell

 

But it's a huge difference in price. It seems too big. I guess I should try to buy instead.

 

that's what people are doing now look in sedo , domain forums many domains are selling cheap

 

there are also more and more vendor and extension:
.com has over concurence

 

I guess this is not a good time to sell domains as everyone is getting discounted offer on various registrar's. Also there are bunch of other extensions as well so I do not think its a right time to sell domains.

 

Obuscure situation

 

Maybe the niche was in a rise 2-3 years back .. and now its down

 

prices are sure lower now. hold on to your domains if you can.

 

OK, I was a bit surprised since I thought prices would be rather stable for domains now. It seems like a rather safe investment in this financial crisis. Better than money on the bank....

 

Prices have been falling for the last year quite rapidly with the recession.

 

It is a good time to buy domains. I've recently picked up some very nice domains at an average price of $10. A few years ago many of these would have gone for hundreds.

 

a lot of people dropping domains now, selling them out for cheap prices, the demand for domains has dropped then what it was 2-4 years ago. i also was able to pick up great ones. we were at the peak already, it will take time before domain demand will be huge again, many 4 letter domains are being dropped, from total 250k domains each day 100 are dropped.

 

Something is going on. A year ago I could sell domains for whatever price I wanted. But now it just sucks.

 

Ya it will go up and down.. try selling after some days..

 

Give the economy some time, hang on to them-buy others and sell when it is stable again.

 

It also depends on luck.Maybe they just don't like the domain listed by you.They think it's not popular at all and
a little expensive.

 

I don't think that is the case. I listed less last time...and minimum offer price is as low as it can be. Still very few offers. I even made many of them featured.

 

I've been reducing my portfolio this year and letting names expire - especially the "great-name-that-I-will-develop-one-day-if-I-ever-get-the-time" domains.

 

i too have been letting some of my names go..market is getting flooded with domains as people go out of business,dont have extra income or time to mess with them
