Time to sell your domains?

With the current financial crisis, the question a lot of domain investors are asking themselves is: "should I sell?".

It's easy to understand people getting jittery, but there really are no reasons so far to suspect that domain values will crash. Sure any meltdown of the magnitude that we're seeing right now in the banking industry is bound to have repercussions in all markets and sectors. But domain fundamentals shouldn't be affected that much.

Pay-per-click revenue could suffer to some extent, as all types of advertising take a hit, but it will remain one of the cheapest and most precise ways to reach your intended customer base. I worry a lot more for TV advertising execs than I do for domainers right now.

As ever in times like these, those who can stay calm and collected today will probably be the ones making obscene amounts of money tomorrow. I think DNW has a very good point saying that when the DotCOM bubble burst at the turn of the century, those rare (and brave) investors that bought all the good .COM names are the ones that have since become domain millionaires.

So is it time to sell your domains? I'd actually be tempted to say yes! Sell them to me at a much reduced price… and let me sell them back to you for a huge profit in a few years' time.
