How did you get your first sale? Just curious, I am new and still waiting for my first sale.

weblord · 09-23-2008, 10:21 PM

my first domain sale was via phone call, it just so happen that buyer wants the domain so i received an offer from them.

MaxMcool · 09-23-2008, 10:53 PM

My first domain sale came from listing on sedo, after an offer and counter offer the deal was done. Very easy, but sedo's comission hurt a bit.

**-Nick-** · 09-23-2008, 11:27 PM

My first sale was from appraisal section

I just registered the domain and wanted it appraised and got $300 offer that was it. The very first one.

Burano · 09-24-2008, 01:29 AM

a forum sale. I think I listed 3 or 4 domains and two sold...but that first sale sure made me happy

dezinerite · 09-24-2008, 01:39 AM

I don't quite remember it...but I think it was on a auction held here on Namepros.

xrvel · 09-24-2008, 02:37 AM

My first sale was on NP auction. Not bad... $1 profit after 1 month registration

My first domain sales was a big one - via Ebay believe it or not. I had managed to get my finger tips on a very nice LLL.com (for about $100) and sold it for just under 20k on ebay. Those were the days.

Wow... I can't wait for my first big sale..

JamesDavid · 09-24-2008, 12:42 PM

Years ago bought a domain off a dropping list that fully dropped and was available. A few days later regretted the purchase and then a few days after that received an offer for $500 via email.

ddesigns · 09-24-2008, 12:49 PM

well my sell was on NP quite recently, well i did a decent profit on that and i am really thankful to NP for providing such a platform for interaction. I am looking forward for more sales...

Mine was on sedo, a hand reg .asia sold for 1k

JoshuaPz · 09-26-2008, 11:11 AM

I backordered a domain (via SnapNames) in a genre I felt very comfortable with (Judaism), one I knew how to pitch. I contacted a prominent Jewish culture magazine about it and they responded with interest. I've made 35 other end-user sales since but to date, that first one remains my highest-dollar flip, netting $1400.

sjkstone · 09-26-2008, 11:23 PM

I've only sold one domain and that was on eBay and didn't get alot for it but I've been learning since then and am ready to get into the business a bit more.

Thanks
Steve

Krossat · 09-26-2008, 11:33 PM

Dont remember the first one but one of the first ones was a domain I hand regged (DNEarn dot com)
Got an offer of $200 for it and I jumped on it lol

sufi · 09-27-2008, 01:13 AM

My first domain sale was through a broker. I had a typo domain and a broker helped me to sell it after taking a little commission.
