DomainSherpa Review – March 19, 2026 – The Carrot and the Stick

What do successful domain name investors think when they value domain names? In this show: - The Sherpas play The Domain Game (starting at the 18:17 mark) where they guess what certain domains were bought and sold for by the Sherpas and discuss the reasons behind their evaluations. Today's domains are WH.org, Karnivore.com, Ploob.com, and OldTimeCandy.com. - They review a list of domains about to come up for auction on NameJet.com, including VOSO.com, Wisemen.com, YellowParrot.com, and TheStick.com. - The Sherpas also talk about domain industry participants and providers that they think could do a better job, in a "Grind My Gears" session. - They get into Rick Schwartz's Beanstalk challenge to build out some of his domains. - The Sherpas also get into what is a better incentive mechanism - the carrot or the stick. - Drew shares what he thinks the biggest mistake domainers make when buying and selling domains. - Big news, Appraise.net is now a DomainSherpa sponsor!
