It looks like after selling off BuyDomains.com to NameMedia, Mike Mann has built another portfolio in excess of 100,000 domain names, which are registered under the name “Domain Admin” or Domain Asset Holdings both showing a Potomac, Maryland Address.
These domains are listed on the site, DomainMarket.com which is registered to “Domain Admin” in Rockville, Maryland.
Mike Mann wrote on his Facebook page:
“I have sold more premium domain names than any one in the world, I founded BuyDomains.com long ago and my current domain company is DomainMarket.com”

many of these domains seem good, but, have some of those (poor) countries the money to buy them? anyhow, so far, the site linked is unaccessible
hard to sell VaticanCity.com because…
1. the Vatican hasn’t a “city” but “IS” a city
2. the (simpler) Vatican.com domain is available, parked and unused
I find it unbelievable just to have built / acquired a portfolio of these names in the first place.
I am reminded of Rob Grant and his RealEstateDirectory.com portfolio of essentially 95% of the top {GEO)RealEstate.com’s in the world, like NewYorkRealEstate.com, HawaiiRealEstate.com…
It is amazing what getting into to business 3-4 prior to me got you.
He has many nice names but IMO they are so overpriced even from an end-user perspective,even not speaking about domainers.
I hope to own and sell a domain like the cheper in the list 🙂
cheper > cheaper
Is Mike Mann the King of Domain Kings ?
Anthony
You can certainly make that case.
I did nominate Mike Mann for the Domain Hall Of Fame last year but he did not get elected maybe this time around
http://www.thedomains.com/2009/08/17/traffic-award-nomination-are-opened-here-are-our-picks/
He has a great portfolio and it may very well seem overpriced but remember, at this point, he doesn’t *have* to sell, which means he can charge as much as he wants regardless of the actual underlying value of the name. If he was in a position where he had to liquidate his domains, they would be listed/sold for a *lot* less.
@Anthony
In my book it is not just with having a great portfolio – but selling it at the right time for top dollar and then getting back in – that makes him the King of “good business” -i.e. the bottom line.
Being labeled King of Kings draws in too many disfunctional egos – some of which made horrible wrong turns somewhere down the road
SeriousShit.com is in the Mike Mann list.
– makes me feel good about recently picking up ChickenShit.com at NJ – don’t worry “name drop police” – its not for sale !!
but, there is enough money around, to buy all these high priced domains? 😐
Honestly I wonder how much he get from the parking of all his portfolio on a monthly basis.
Anybody can guess a figure?
GreekOrthodox.com for 120k… I wonder how much orthodox.com would sell for then based on his pricing…
@brianwick but mike rebuilt so he’s got 100k names he built up after his sale of BD. He obviously had cash to build it from but it’s definitely an example of “there’s still opportunity in the domain game”. it’s interesting that 1 of the 2 major guys to sell big got right back in the game It takes a lot of effort (and capital) to rebuild a 100k folio
Who cares what domains he has, all websites are BS if you don’t view them or no money to buy.
Adam
I agree
To rebuilt a portfolio of that size in what time frame most considered to be “too late” is quote impressive. I mean the guy has more domains now that I do and unfortunately I never got to to sell out
He has the key ingredients ” Know-how and Moolah”, $ is the great persuader for weary sellers , not everybody has the stamina to seat and wait for buyers , even when you have great domains the offers from end-users are far and in between… the rewards can be great, it’s addictive in a way.
There is no business like the domain business.
I bought I 5 domains for good money from the Utlimate Search guy who eventually sold out to MarchEx for $165M 7-8 years back – he knew my model.
Even though he did not get back in visibly (if at all) – he is the King of Kings – for getting out and setting the stage for “domainers” – whatever that means.
Does anybody think .co’s will become more popular then .com’s?
.co just like .cm is a typo of the only one on the shelf .com – personally – I am not an authority on typos – that means I have no inte4rest in non.com’s – even if they are typos of the .com.
.CO only real value is a .COM typo. I fail to see any real companies operating on the .CO (meaning company) domain hack.
Many browser/email programs are going to autofill .COM when you type in .CO or say “Did you mean”.
They can play it up all they want, at the end of the day it is the Colombian ccTLD. How will it even index because of that? Who knows.
Brad
The GreekOrthodox for $120K struck me too. Come one guys, some great names but so overpriced it loses seriousness. The “he doesn’t have to sell” is not an excuse either.
–“Does anybody think .co’s will become more popular then .com’s?”
The .co will stop being promoted in a year or so once the registered names are dropped.
I think .CO will pass .COM about the same time .TEL replaces phone numbers. I can’t believe that is even be a serious question.
Brad
@domo . . . ” not everybody has the stamina to seat and wait for buyers”
with 100k names you’re probably moving about 1-2% annually . . . best guess. Let’s say 1%. . . So he’s selling 1000 names a year. That’s 3 a day. So I doubt he’s sitting much.
Mike himself said on facebook that he’s sold “one at a time, about 50,000 with helpers, probably about 20,000 myself”
@OuMun mike mann doesn’t seem to be parking any of his domains . . . at least on first glance.
Looks like Mike bought many of the geos above from one of the early domain kings, Canadian John C. Black who amassed well over a thousand generic names back in 1996/97 when NetworkSolutions basically gave them to those who asked (something like a $70-$90 renewal fee in the early years though).
If you search archive.org for domainman.com and open up Jan 25 1999 you’ll see ‘some’ of his portfolio listed under corporate/geographic/premium (petfood.com etc).
Black’s firm operates Caribbean Online (col.com) and owns great geos such as jamaica.com (which weren’t for sale in the above geographic list).
There are some excellent GEO’s on the list, however the majority are poor African countries with absolutely nothing going on
Many of those countries have average salaries of a few hundred bucks a year, so I can never see them selling near those prices.
Brad
Very nice portfolio. Dusseldorf.com is a bit overpriced for a typo though:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Düsseldorf
Cheers
Nico
So why he doesn’t keep the domains parked? I think he is losing some cheese on that…
OuMum
I asked Mike your question and said he is working on it and plans to be parking the domains.
I think Search Engines will adapt, to some degree, for the .co. As of right now, Google requires the exact spelling so if you type in t.co or t co into search you will get the .co domain you are looking for.
It’s interesting that if you type “internet.co” into Google search that position one is occupied by “internet.com.co” and “internet.com” is second and you are not asked “did you mean”. There is already some accommodation going on which stands to reason. I see that Google will enjoy .co because their main objective is quality user experience and content. cointernet.co has implemented a strategy that cuts down on the type of domain squatting and abuse that made .com the wild west 15 years ago. This is great for google because i don’t think they are into cleaning up any more cyber messes.
maybe it would be more constructive to see .co as its own “man” so to speak. Yes, there will be typos, and lots, but does this mean we should have no .co? That wouldn’t be very enterprising…

Sorry for not explaining better:
it’s a buyers market , opportunities abound for savvy buyers with cash that still believe in long term investing (like Mann) simmilar to the Housing market…
I know some domainers with great keywords are tired of waiting and waiting for buyers…
In addition some people have invested large amounts and the money it’s just sitting there in some cases producing minimum revenue as well as some people under the current economic scenario might be inclined to get some chips out of the table…
Incredible list of names. Especially in a 2nd go at it.
At least telShoppe.com has a basis for its valuations !
Comoros.com for $750,000!
This is one of the least populous countries in the world and is poor as sh!t – who on earth would buy this domain for that price
These names are over price!!!
He does have an really big portfolio considering this is his second trip around the block.
What does everyone think about the .tv’s now that they are more reasonably priced?

Jack
Another Greedy Domain Squatter. This shit should be illegal.
goood work thank you
