Episode notes
Drew's Yowza Purchase And The Shirt Sign
- Drew bought Yowza.com at auction for $4,980 and felt an instant emotional connection to the name.
- He saw the word on a passerby's shirt the same morning and took it as a sign he'll monetize it big time.
Set Firm Auction Limits To Avoid Emotional Overbids
- Auctions swing wildly based on one determined bidder, so set firm limits and expect volatility.
- Josh noted a name can jump from ~$500 to $3,000+ if one buyer refuses to concede, changing your target price.
Appraisals Can Leak Competitive Research Signals
- Appraise.net appraisals add market context but sharing prior appraisals can leak research signals to competitors.
- The Sherpas compared this to hiding backorder counts to avoid others piggybacking on your research.
