I Sold My First Domain Name!
After taking a break from domaining, investor @Arpit131 announced his return with a sale. Having recently registered four geographic keyword domain names for $32, this domainer sold one of them for $199. It’s not the biggest sale you’ll read about, but the domain only took a week to sell after this investor reached out to six potential buyers.
The domain investor now has a profit of $167 and three of the original domain names still to sell. There are more details of this sale mentioned within this discussion.

My Wife Thinks of My Domaining as a Hobby
For the past fifteen years, domainer @Fancy.domains has made income through the Internet, thanks to domaining and freelance translation services. However, his wife has prompted him to delete domain names and spend less time as an investor, something that brings in 50% of the household income, according to the discussion.

What Are Your Most Profitable Hand-Registered Flips?
Hand-registering a good domain name can be difficult. With over 127 million .COM domain names in existence, finding a valuable domain that hasn’t been registered is an art form. Here, a domainer has asked others to share their most profitable flips from hand registered domains, stating the sales price and the amount of days it took to flip it. A flip is defined as buying a domain name in order to quickly resell at a higher price.
Plenty of domainers have shared their sales in this discussion, ranging from $90 to high four figure sales.
