Glad to find an Australian domaining forum with lots of activity. I'm hoping to learn a few tips from some fellow domainers.
I've only sold a few domains over the years but looking to build up the knowledge and get into some serious trading. I got a bit lucky with my first .com.au domain that a US company wanted for expansion in Australia. They tried to wrangle it off me with cease and disist letter. I convinced them it would be cheaper than their lawyers fees to buy it off me since I had been running my business with it in Oz for a while and had legit business name registration etc. That gave me a taste for domaining.
I've made all the usual mistakes buying hyphenated names and new extensions that flopped. These days I'm trying to focus on .com.au, .com and I still have a sweet spot for .tv domains since my day job is developing video streaming sites for tv broadcasters.
Cheers
