I'm actually on Dan's newsletter too and though he seems to be doing quite good, I personally find his domains are overpriced for the quality. It feels to me like he is targeting the domainer market with the quality, but at prices that exclude bulk buyers like them.

I agree with your observation and realize I probably worded my post wrong. The idea is not for you to periodically watch the lists waiting for your perfect domain. That won't work. It is more to just casually browse it, and if one just screams at you, you get it at a reasonable price (< $50) or even at reg fee.

And about the quality of the names on my list, everything is relative. I try to focus more on a niche (startup/service/product/blog names) even though I have quite a few good names available in other markets too. If you are looking for something outside of what I'm listing, of course quality seems a little lower. Five names on my little sampler got registered in a few hours so I believe there is some sort of interest.

In my opinion, most domain name related problems truly cannot be solved with a programming approach. One that can, however, is extracting gems out of dropped and available domains. I'm not saying it's easy, but I plan on working on it!

His pricing appears to be fairly random. I recall seeing aftersixty.com which I thought was a potential goldmine, 60+ being a well-monied yet underserved community, and it was priced under $100. A couple months later, it was listed again, this time for over $1k if I remember. So he doesn't appear to use a pricing formula.

Anyway, best of luck with your project... hope to see a follow up post from you on here.
