The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
Bro what landing pages works the best for you in terms of conversion? Afternic's NS1 and NS2 or Dan's or epik's?
Afternic doesn't have BIN option so for me it works only for 5 fig names and beyond.
For rest you can choose any of the two between Dan and epik. I use both but I mostly use dan because of its simplicity. One major advantage with epik is that it shares the lead (potential buyer) details with you. Its like efty service for free. You can interact personally by reaching out to offerer or potential buyer while at dan details are revealed only if buyer fails to pay after agreement.

It can be possible for the small portfolio but would be too much work for over 500+ or 1000+ domains portfolio.

I have my own setup of this kind and there is no work whatsoever required. I just use my own dns servers/app with 20k names. You can hire a coder to create one for you.

Sold this domain for $10K which I spent only around $15 to acquire from expired auction in 2012, plus 9 renewals so total investment is around $100 USD.
(please don't post the domain and the sale price, thanks!)

Hand reg from less than 2 weeks ago. One of only a few NFT domains I own, so I'm going to go register a bunch more.
Was this Outbound or inbound?

Backorder capture of 2nd April. Sold today. 3 days hold. Inbound for 200 and wouldn't budge. So I let go for 225 via SAV lander.

So SAV paid you 96 cents of that 225? 🤣 That payout email is confusing.
216 is the net amount. But it will become payable after a few days. The balance is from a prior failed auction lol.

way to cheap

I disagree on price, but I like that you appreciate the domain.

The truth is I have a ton of volume and can't renew everything. And also have a ton of way better names as keepers, plus buying more each day. At least 2-3 like this per day + others.

Edit: Dynadot has a $6.99 promo right now... this domain pays for a ton of others for 1 year.

Could've been sold to another investor who will hold on to it for 1-10 years waiting for the right one.

In that time, he'd have made the same amount by re-investing the $299 spread across 30+ other names, some which will sell. Repeat.

All weighs out in the end, except 1 creates cash flow, shares opportunities, fuels a passion, the other doesn't.

Perfectly explained. Thanks!

Edit: I have thousands of other names to renew for many years. And I usually buy at least 10 names per day, many similar to this one, sometimes much more. 5-fig investment going into 6 fig next, but inventory has its limits. I always find more names than I can buy. I prefer to sell 5 names at $199 today, rather than waiting months to sell one of those names at $1999 - because the math checks out.

Out of the pack I often select some that will be sold now for cashflow usually below $500. Overall this balanced approach provides best results at least for myself - both shot term and long term. Even if I sell 5 at $199 per day it's still balanced. I have a lot of volume so it's worth it. For those who find difficult to buy such names, the other approach of pricing full retail and holding all names for years makes more sense, but not in my case.

Those who have seen my clearances as well know that I clear hundreds of .coms each month - these are only those that won't be renewed. Edit: I usually end up selling the lot in bulk, so these names still have lifetime - but I know that; and it's okay with me. Again, volume makes the difference.
