$9 to $ 400 that was my biggest flip. I haven't done well from then but that was amazing experience . You care to share your biggest flip. If possible with details.

How did you purchase it for 900

I purchased the domain in or around 1999. At that time you could pick up nice domains for less than $1000. I bought A TON of domains in the mid 90's and unfortunately, sold many of them within a year or 2. I sold a bunch of LLL.coms for $100 each! I wish I could have them back!

Bought a 5n.com for 537 USD at 4.cn and sold it for 3500 USD at GoDaddy Auctions after 4 months.

This is my biggest Flip so far.

wut. so 3Ls in the 90s were worth $100... but Boarder.com is worth $900? how is this possible :D

Hand -registered a dot-Com (August 2016) on GoDaddy.com for $8.47 and sold it 11.4.2016 for $5,000. I've been domain investing nearly 14 months now, and it was my 2nd sell in 12 months. Prior sell was a $1K > $7K flip. However, on the hand registered flip, it was definitely an undersell and the sell remorse still lingers.

What I learned from that undersell, is that leverage is critical in the domain game. One you have a large enough bankroll that you can say no to $5-$10k offers, you are on your way to being successful in domain investing.

I'm not sure who says no to $10k offers... unless you have an obviously super worth domain 3L etc.

You should have been here back in the hay day! For example no one wanted 3 letter domains with bad letters aka "x" "z" "v" etc.
I had less than 20 (3) LETTER domains and sold them for roughly $100 ea.

Yes you are right! I have many sales in the $xx.xxx range. With that said I also sold hgh dot org for $2500 after I sniped it for maybe $100.
I bought chimineas dot com for $900 and generated at the very least $.200,000.00
I sold B88 dot com for maybe $100. I sold 4dgames dot com for $500 or around that. I leased bikeads dot come for $200/mos with $50/mos going towards a buyout and I hand regged it.
I sold glassslipper dot com for5 k and I hand regged it
I sold pointjudith dot com for $5k to a guy who vacationed in Rhode Island and that was the same reason I had the domain but when someone shows up at ur store with $5k its not hard to give it up!

With that said it was a big risk! In the earl/mid 90's registering a domain name was like $35 and the buyers weren't knocking down my doors. Snapnames was the preeminent drop catcher and I spent money grabbing domains and kept many and sold many more.

To summarize it was CRAZY back in the mid 90's! I made TONS of money BUT I also left a shit ton of cash on the table but no one could predict that.

You can see some of my sales at dnjournal dot com

Happy hunting!

Wow! $36 to register a .com!?!?! That's bad. Very bad. I'm pretty sure no one would domain back then.

but then again, they should really do that kind of pricing now. People complain that domainers take up all the good names... and when names are $1... why wouldn't they... if the internet wanted better police they'd keep reg prices at $35.

btw you must be a billionaire lol :D.
