    various Report Completed Domain Name Sales Here

    My first one since I started intentionally buying domains to resell. If the buyer didn't come through, I was going to increase the price after doing more further research and ideas I had, but luckily, they did. Name: i/r/o/n/c/o/n/d/o/r/s/./c/o/m Sale venue: DAN Listing type: Make offer with...

    various Report Completed Domain Name Sales Here

    Landed my first Afternic sale, which is also my first 4-figure sale ever. I will chalk up this sale due to COVID-19. I would have priced this one higher if I had actually remembered that I had it. This was one of my experimental purchases as I started learning about purposely selling domain...

    various Report Completed Domain Name Sales Here

    So, I had a lead come in back in July for a domain, C/l/a/r/e/n/c/e/p/l/a/c/e(.com) that I was unable to close the deal with or even got a response back after they initally reached out. Luckily, I keep all old leads on Uni just for follow up, because it doesn't hurt to give it a try for a...

    information About swetha!

    I think I was the first to openly dislike it, so I'll answer why I did. You posted this under warnings and alerts. When I first read the title, I thought something was wrong like sales were fake or something along those lines. Nothing wrong with wanting to know the secrets behind someone's...

    advice Google’s John Mueller Cautions Against Keyword-Rich Domains

    Very well put. In the scheme of things for SEO, it can be good to build brand awareness around a name for branding purposes. That's where the comparisons truly end though with branded names vs EMD names, IMHO. It makes total sense on why he'd say this publicly. He works for Google, the place...

    Epik, We have a problem. Domain removed from account without permission.

    Yeah, normally when it is expired and it is on EPIK, they get sent to their daily diamonds list. Nameliquidate has to be opted-in by the seller itself. Used it a couple of times myself, so since you snagged it from that platform, the defense of an error is highly questionable. This whole thing...

    discuss Now the price increase for .com is starting to hit...going to be dropping lots of names

    All this really means to me is that my prices are going up for the minimum I'm trying to sell a name for while keeping a hold to the same procedures that I'm trying to keep in place. Not dropping as many names just because of a small increase. Now, if it was going up by $10? I'd take a...

    Someone keeps listing my domains on Afternic

    Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but it's been happening quite a bit over the past 2 months. For some of the domains I have, I transfer them over to another registrar when it's time to renew so I can keep a better eye on them. They have already been listed on Afternic, so I have...

    tips Be careful: Your fixed price Afternic names, might have an automatic min offer in GD auctions!

    This is why I have it turned off. I have my own specific reasons for that. I operate in ranges though since I don't know who the buyer would be, so I shoot high, but I have a realistic price for the floor and if they didn't hit the floor, I have a reserve range in mind period if a broker came to...

    question What made you want to be a domainer?

    Pretty much the same reason for me. I started more down the affiliate marketing path before I started focusing more on domain name acquisitions as investments. I did well for awhile, but I let it get off the rails and stretched myself too thin with purchases, too many niches, etc. Then, I had a...

    Epik fails again

    That's what I'm saying. I see a new EPIK post a week when it should be obvious at this point is to stay away after everything that has transpired. Can easily register and transfer at so many other registrars.

    tips Be careful: Your fixed price Afternic names, might have an automatic min offer in GD auctions!

    Think of it like this. If someone comes in and makes the min. offer like the one provided above and it's the buyer's final offer...if the offer is above the floor price, done deal. If it's not above the floor price, then they get the opportunity to reach out to the seller to say, "Hey, we found...

    tips Be careful: Your fixed price Afternic names, might have an automatic min offer in GD auctions!

    I'm sure that twiki means that he has the BIN set on Afternic, which automatically sets it up on GD Auctions in this format.

    tips Be careful: Your fixed price Afternic names, might have an automatic min offer in GD auctions!

    It's about 65% percent that they use for the make offer setting if there is a fixed BIN amount on Afternic. If your BIN and floor is the same, they can't sell without getting your explicit permission for any offers that come in. If you want it to be at the minimum offer that you set, such as...

    You're right about not doubting the price. I'm just greedy for the most part. :xf.laugh: Since I haven't received that stimulus check yet in the US, this sale came right on time. I appreciate the kind words!

    advice Help selling my domain. No luck with Afternic or GoDaddy auction

    It really all starts with your name. The quality of the names you have, the quantity of the names you have as well, etc. Afternic/GD is pretty much the largest one we've got in this field. There are others out there like Sedo, DAN, DomainAgents, etc. You could do outbounding to speed up the...

    Are NameCheap auctions real..or they are just bumping the price?

    Yep, that's exactly what the OP is implying. Could it be the case? Maybe, yet I doubt it unless they want to undermine the legitimacy of their own domain name auctions and drive away participants. It's an easy way to shift blame though in this case because it sounds like a couple of things...

    question Have you ever had any repeat retail buyers?

    I wouldn't say you're not as serious as others. I'd say you're doing what's best for you. If you're getting a good return on the ones you are holding, then that's awesome.
