So I'm 17 years old and Iv'e been domaining for only a short while now, and just today Iv'e managed to close my first big sale which I'm super pleased with :)

The domain was a 1Keyword 12 Letter .com (I'll keep the name private for now for the buyers protection etcetc), and it was one of the strong domains in my portfolio, so I initially thought of listing it on GoDaddy but then I thought I'd try end user marketing to save money on listing fees

And a few phonecalls and emails later, I had a company interested in buying the domain :) I managed to sell it for just under $500 which was around the max potential value for it so I'm super pleased with that.
It may not be a fortune, but I'm happy with it as a first end user sale for a 17 year old who has been domaining for only a short while :)

Just wanted to say a thank you toast to everybody in the Namepros community who has helped me out, who has given me advice and helped me to learn, and helped to guide me towards becoming a successful domainer :)

This is only the beginning, I'm motivated to achieve many many more sales like this one. Planning to use the money to invest in more strong domains to build a stronger portfolio and then to make more sales :) I'll also list a few of my strong ones on here as $1 auctions just as a little thank you

So a heres toast to NamePros ;) Ill be celebrating with a bottle of sparkling champagne tonight haha :xf.cool:

Congrats on your sale, I also wouldn't publisize my age because at least in USA as a minor they cant hold you accountable for not fulfilling your end of the contract. Unless the laws have changed since I took business law.

17 years old..impressive! You know hoe many hours I had to do physical labor/labour to make $500 when I was your age....a lot (but wasn't involved with domains back then)

Congrats and continued succe$$..
LOL. Domains did not even exist when I was 17. I saw my first computer when I was in high school (1981). The school only had one computer and each student only got to use it 5 minutes per week. :roll:

Congrats on your first sale Vlad! You have a lifetime of success ahead of you!

Thank you everybody for the super kind messages and the support and motivation; it all means a great deal to me
Ended up closing another end user deal today for an extra $100, so it seems like I'm not doing too bad :-,

I wish everybody reading this all the success with their domaining, just like you guys have done so for me :-,
