Most domain investors enter into domain investing having to work hard learning the ropes of the following:

• Assessing which niches and TLDs best align with their personal and professional experiences
• How to identify undervalued domains of the aforementioned option
• When and where to buy and sell domains
• How best to prices domains competitively and profitably
• Why and how best to assess which domains to renew

This barely scratches the surface of all the varying factors at play to becoming an astute domain investor with a legitimate business and not a labor-of-love hobby.

Many have tried their hand at buying and selling domains only to realize it isn’t as sexy as it appears or is made out to be. It’s a craps shoot, or is it?

Below is a hand-picked list of quick-pick domains with NO bids. There are a few sleepers on the list worth NOT BIDDING on, and allowing to enter into buy-it-now closeout status.

Attempting to allow domains with no bids to close in auction can be a bit risky. Once domains enter buy-it-now closeout status is also risky too.

I enjoy sniping and flipping expired domains at $5 pricing (really $13 after renewing it for a year), but be wise and don’t lose out on a good domain in an attempt to wait it out.

As always do your homework and research each domain before you commit to bidding and buying.
