Purchased on 5/30/18 from a GoDaddy expired auction for $985.
Listed for sale on 6/23/18 with BrandPa.
Received an initial offer price of $12,500 and this was declined. The buyer countered with $14,500 on 8/13/18 and I accepted.
Finalized the transaction today, 9/11/18.

Very happy with BrandPa. Being my first domain sale ever, I did not have the best understanding on the process of selling and transferring a domain. BrandPa helped me step-by-step, no issues at all. High quality content and even better customer service!

I was really surprised how quickly this sold, even more surprised by the 1600% return in only a few months. I was feeling a bit defeated there for awhile, but I feel rejuvenated and hopeful for the future!

Congratulations For the sale.

If you remember I told you it was nice Investment.

Me & @Josh R were correct in predicting this was real gem. Hahahah. I think we shared our view when you post the name in “No Hand Reg “ section.

Happy for you.

Great acquisition and great ROI in very short time.

Now look for similar quality name. Do not compromise in quality .

Thanks

Wow, that is an incredible sale, especially for your first! Congratulations @Mitchell Hengesbach ! I think you got a superb price for it, and admire your confidence to hold out on the initial offer to get a bit more.

I just checked on NameBio for 4 letter .com that end in hub, and if listed this would become the highest price (of the 10 sales listed). Only 1 of the sales there topped $3000 (here is list).

I am not really into brandables and have not used BrandPa - do they suggest an original asking price? Thanks again for the details, and congrats! Hope you have many more big sales!

I sold a/hub.com for $4.4K after buying it for around $2.2K and 2 months of holding few years back.

Congratulations on the sale, however, hopefully you'll share more about the deal for new/old people to learn along with some sort of proof of sale!

Yes! I do remember your post when I first made the purchase back in May. I appreciate your support!

Quality over quantity is definitely the best way to go. I have been a lot more particular about the domains I purchase. I only go after 10+ year old domains with at least one popular keyword or high traffic. So far this strategy has been paying off! :)

Oh wow, very interesting that the "hub" keyword is selling so quickly. Nice sale! I guess I'll be on the lookout for more "hub" words lol

Yes, Highest Praise is most definitely in order here!

I've been at this a while (and I'm pretty damn good at it, if I do say so myself :-D), but I gotta' tell you, I would've twice "folded" before you ...I honestly wouldn't have had the cojones (that's an industry term) to bid up "LHub.com" to $985 (wholesale) in the first place ...AND THEN, hold out for considerably more than $12,500 after that offer came in.

You're good. Real good. And you've got a bright future in this field. What's more, your skill-set is readily transferable to other professions ...like high-stakes professional poker, and consumer space travel, to name a few! :)) Rock on!

Thanks. I also forget to mention one of my other friend.

@USMC . My good brother . This name was under his watchlist too and he even said it was good acquisition.

Again congratulations to you. I just want to make sure I don’t forget everyone who shared their honest opinion about the name. Hahahah

Now go hunt for another better gem.

Best of luck.

Thanks

@Mitchell Hengesbach As many have pointed it out it's a great name 4l with " Hub".

I'm interested to see what the buyer does with it , my take is

L -( learning) Hub App

L -is also slang in the " Canna/weed/marijuana" meaning to "smoke one" "take an L" ( dispensary?)

what ever they do with it, L+ hub has many possible uses. these are the first 2 that came to mind.

Good Eye and Stance on this sale!
