On the other hand, despite Steve Forbes speaking about domain investors&rsquo; savvy vision, a Forbes author was just taken to task for calling domain investors &ldquo;cyber squatters&rdquo; and generally writing an unresearched, naive article bashing the value of domain name investment.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Christie&rsquo;s auction house sold a Francis Bacon piece for $142 million. Where was this incredible art piece for all these years? If the owner did not have it displayed in a public building, was he an art squatter? If the public didn&rsquo;t have access to view it or enjoy was the owner not using it for a viable purpose?<\/p>\n<p>What if the owner mostly had it privately displayed but sometimes rented it to a museum, then would that make him an art squatter? Of course not. Fine art, and especially such a superb piece, is an excellent example of an asset that appreciates over time and has multiple options for the investor. Let&rsquo;s compare that to a premium domain investment:<\/p>\n<p>Domain investment is a largely untapped opportunity. While the Christie&rsquo;s Auction offered a Francis Bacon with unprecedented parallel, the Heritage Auctions domains lot did not feature the most premium domains available. Heritage Auctions chose domain names that they thought their investors\/collectors would appreciate. Whether they made the right choices is up for debate, but certainly a 50% +\/- sell through r<\/p>\n<p>Generally, it is indicative that domain name values are becoming better understood and more mainstream.<\/p>\n<p>It is a slow process, and hopefully Heritage is in it for the long haul. There is absolutely no reason why an investor looking to put some money into premium art wouldn&rsquo;t or shouldn&rsquo;t also consider investing part of their capital into super premium and unique domain assets. &nbsp;Take a look at some examples of such assets, which are currently available, and which will undoubtedly continue to appreciate in value, while generating some passive revenue in the meantime:&nbsp; Sale.com, Soda.com, VR.com (think Vacation Rentals), BikeRentals.com, Gab.com, Fig.com, Solution.com, Dojo.com, Copies.com, Illustration.com (Animation.com sold in the aution for $95,000), Cut.com, CH.com, PX.com, OE.com, EO.com, IA.com, IE.com, DAM.com, SSN.com, Oregano.com, Margins.com, Shed.com&hellip; and thousands more which can be had at today&rsquo;s market rates or below.<\/p>\n<p>We domainers have done a poor job as an industry of educating not just businesses and consumers about the value of premium domain names, but also investors of other asset classes like art. &nbsp;We are terrible ambassadors of our industry.&nbsp; Top tier investors that collect art, real estate, jewelry, baseball cards &amp; the like could be and should be interested, involved and invested in our market.&nbsp; Our pond should be an ocean.<\/p>\n<p>We hear it all the time from clients who could turn out to be huge investors in the domain space, but have been turned off.&nbsp; They tell us, &ldquo;I contacted the domain owner and instead of giving me a price he told me to go to hell.&rdquo;&nbsp; Things like this are unacceptable, yet they happen all the time.&nbsp; Daily in fact.&nbsp; But it&rsquo;s this type of unprofessionalism that leaves our industry in the dark ages and prevents a live domain auction in downtown Manhattan, held by the 3rd largest auction house in the world, from reaching $2 million &ndash; $5 million in sales as it may have in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>As a domain broker, we have made it our duty to stop this vicious loop and help educate businesses and investors alike about the opportunity that is premium, generic &amp; brandable domain names.&nbsp; We understand domain values very well.&nbsp; We live, eat, sleep &amp; breathe domain names; buying, trading, evaluating, monetizing.&nbsp; It is for this very reason that every day we are buying premium domains at way below value and successfully monetizing them or selling them.&nbsp; What we do is repeatable; it&rsquo;s not magic, but it requires time, focus, education &amp; patience &ndash; the same as is required to understand the art market (which is even more complex in my eyes, and even more opaque).<\/p>\n<p>Our approach is data driven.&nbsp; Data is universal: any one can access it and use it to their advantage to make smart decisions.&nbsp; Smart decisions lead to profits.&nbsp; An intelligent investor in combination with a capable domain broker can be a powerful tool for wealth preservation and profit generation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you take the time to read any of the numerous articles about the $142 million art sale of Francis Bacon&rsquo;s painting, you will see that all of the top bidders which went above the expected $80 million valuation were all brokers&hellip;every last one.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Art brokers representing savvy and wealthy clients from all over the world&hellip;&nbsp; Those clients paid the broker a commission on the purchase, not just to sit in a stuffy room and raise his paddle, but to advise them on the value, the other bidders, the strategy, etc. &nbsp;I watch an auction like the Heritage domain auction and I wonder, why aren&rsquo;t there any brokers sitting in that room on their cell phone with a client in Russia, China, Brazil or any other place on Earth where their client is sitting, listening to their advice and saying, &ldquo;ok, go up another $100k!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heritage Auctions, the third largest auction house in the world after only Sotheby&rsquo;s and Christie&rsquo;s, just successfully auctioned the first lot of domain names by a major auction house, closing around a half a million dollars of domain sales in the live auction (and still more in the silent auction following).
