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!

congrats
well done

I think obviously your buying strategy was perfect

who declined the 12,5 K bid
you - if so why?

and you didn't counter?

Thanks! The buyer's initial offer was $12,500, my asking price was $16,895, I automatically declined their initial offer (too low) without countering. They countered with $14,500. They met me half way, good compromise.

How did you determine the BIN was $16,895 USD?

Well, BrandPa originally put a BIN of $7,895. I thought that was too low, so I requested a bump to $16,895. I looked at previous sales with "hub" such as hubx, ghub; sold for $25K and $13k, respectively. $16k seemed liked a fair price based on previous sales. That was pretty much it.

I don't have any plans on buying future domains right now, unless there is a really really good one that I can't pass up lol. I have several domains listed on Sedo and BrandPa, I'm going to wait for another sale before investing too much more. Thanks for your feedback :)

Thank you! I do not plan on reinvesting right now. I have a few domains that I feel will sell at some point. So if I'm fortunate to sell anymore, I'll look to buy again.

Nice work mate (y) really good sale and to have the 'balls' to hold off on the initial offer was a risk that really paid off! Quality domain though.
