I gave up the battle with my domain addiction. I don’t really do much with them, but it’s nice to have sites up and ready when I finally feel like developing them. Plus, I’ve sold a couple for nice profit without ever setting out to do it, so it’s all good.

Where do you find does domains?

I have looked high and low for a site with old UK domains like http://www.freshdrop.net for .com domains, but I still haven’t found one

Yes straight flip, I do find ranking adds more value if I have time but flipped this one for a small profit. When I sell it’s usually end user, in which case you usually get paid by bank transfer or cheque. I rarley buy from a forum if I do it’s from established members that I can trust.

Is the home office desks domain therefore a straight flip – ie no development work whatsoever? Do you find it harder to sell these on, as there is really none of your hardwork to sell on?

Also following on from your previous posts, I and I’m sure others would be interested to learn about how to actually do the deal – is it just through escrow – is one service better than the other – have you ever had anything go wrong? That would be my worry buying a domain of a random from a forum

No this was not reg fee, I paid £250 for the domain from a reseller, I then spent a bit of money + time ranking the domain.

Is your camerabag domain one that you secured for just a reg fee or are they generally bought from someone else and then flipped on? If you are on a budget its hard to decide to go the reg and develop route or the buy a good solid name and resell for a better profit route.

Scott, I would be interested in the email you sent to Laurence as well please. As the page you have is quite content light does that mean seo is all about the inbound links?
