Yesterday Konstantinos shared some more domain purchases which he made in 2014 and one must check those names as what type of domains to acquire. That may help you in building your own quality portfolio. Below are some of the names I recently acquired:
GRO.com – I think it took too long to acquire LLL.com but finally I did it.
ACFA.com – I used to like LLLL.com but now I must start loving LLLL domains after the sale of BMGL.com 😉
EaMedia.com – Almost paid 1k for this name and once the auction was over, I thought I paid little more than I initially set budget for this domain. However, I feel this can pay off well if I hold the domain for quite some time.
FilaBrasileiro.com – Will leave this one up to you to decide whether this acquisition was good or bad. It’s a dog breed and some developed sites but what impressed me was 60,500 exact searches at Google Keyword Planner.
TheNewton.com – I love “the” word domains.
TheRestless.com – Same as above.
AboveBeyond.com – To me this is a decent brandable domain which can be used for many different purposes. Got for just under 1k.
Nieuwenhuis.com – I love person names. Quite difficult name to spell 😀
Stephane.net – Isn’t this a common name with this spelling too. Although it’s a .net but I still like it.
Papandrea.com – Not as difficult spelling as the couple of above names.
Would love to have your feedback and feel free to share the domains which you recently acquired.
Nice domains!!
Thanks Eric! 🙂
AbdulBasit, First of all, thanks for your endorsement on LinkedIn 🙂 About your purchases, I like GRO.com and ACFA.com, very nice ones. When I saw EAmedia.com, the first thing that came to my mind was EA Sports (Electronic Arts), hope there are no TM issues there. LOL @ FilaBrasileiro.com, I’ve some Brazilian friends and we own some Brazilian/Portuguese names as well, hope you got this for cheap bc I don’t think that’s a business where they pay a lot for purchasing a domain. Personally we don’t like “the” domains, and we don’t buy person names, unless is a very common… Read more »
Thanks Andrea for your feedback 🙂
You are right about EaMedia as that’s what came into my mind at first as well but there are many more existing companies with same initials.
I paid under $500 for FilaBrasileiro.
Although I have seen “the” word names are slow in terms of selling but pays off really well when they gets sold. IMO, this is still the right time to buy “the” word domains… Sometimes you get it a bit cheap…
Could you please include prices
Each domain I paid under 1k except for ACFA and GRO.
Nice domain name.
Can you share price of GRO.com, some idea?
I liked GRO.com and ACFA.com. Please give us rough idea on purchase prices.
If possible, please share your previous sales of theword.com names.
Congrats Abdul, nice ones!
Thanks for commenting Joe! 🙂
Great Names Abdul!
I really love GRO.com, its a kind of domains once should invest, the real asset.
I wish you all the best.

Thanks Aishwin for your feedback 🙂
I am happy to acquire this name and will wait for the right buyer to come in. IMO, such type of domains are real liquid.
Thanks for sharing AbdulBasit. I must get round to doing a similar post.
GRO.com is definitely a great purchase as it’s got multiple potential end users. Pronounceable for a brand and the acronym also has lots of potential end users. Your investment in that domain will definitely ‘Gro’ over time 🙂
Thanks for your feedback Paul!
It would be great to see similar post on your blog too and eagerly waiting for that 🙂
GRO.com is a great name.
Good luck with these names!
Thanks Konstantinos 🙂
Same question :
“”Can you share price of GRO.com, some idea?””
Many thanks
Let’s keep that as secret 😉
Might share the purchase price when I sell it.
The LLL is a very nice one. ACFA is good one, I think it may work well for some financial firms. No idea about personal names but I know you’ve sold such names before. The names are good especially “The Restless.”
Thanks for your feedback Tauseef. Appreciate that 🙂
If if was me I will avoid a domain with the word fila. Billion dollar shoe company probably has a lawyer fund
Thanks for your feedback and I appreciate that. Normally I don’t watch for every domain to change the category for parking page but after your reminder, I just went ahead and set the exact category with specific keyword so the ads must be shown what I actually wanted.
Thanks once again 🙂
Hey Abdul,
GRO is a fantastic name! Congrats to you on acquiring it.
And thanks for sharing information on your blog.
Cheers,
Jim
Thanks Jim and I really appreciate your feedback 🙂
Good luck!

Congratulations Abdul. GRO.com is a great name! At least $xxx,xxx value when you sell.
Quick question. How much do you think a normal personal names/FirstandSecondName.com normally worth selling? Within $1000 to $4500? I saw someone list a name for $4500 recently.
Also, do you think ordinary personal names have trademark issue? I know that famous celebrity names will have trademark issues.
Thanks.
Thanks Raymond for your feedback and it’s appreciated 🙂 It’s difficult to sell personal FirstSecond names because people tend to normally offer you less than $100 and simply tell the reason they are willing to develop personal website and cannot pay more. This makes such type of domains to sell slow as compare to two word products/services related domains but the price range you mentioned is gettable and normally I look to sell in that range only. But if you see DomainMarket.com (owned by Mike Mann) his pricing on FirstSecond names are well into five figures. He is exceptional and… Read more »

Thanks for that Frank which will help me in valuing the domain more precisely as I bought this name solely thinking of a person name.
