Hi,

i started dealing with domaining 3 years ago, but after several unsuccessful sales I gave up.
A three months ago I tried again and found some good domains however I still did not make any sales though I tried. A month ago I decided to try another domain before I quit domaining, and I succeeded, sold my first domain. I have to point out that until now for 4 domains I had inquiries and bids but at the end of each sales failure and the buyer would stop responding to my messages, it all discouraged me. This way I would like to thank all members of the forum who helped me in any way because without all of you I would not succeed, This sales gave me the power to continue to deal with domaining.

And now some information about the sale:

Domain name: CarpetCleaningJackson.com
Sale venue: Outbound
Seller: Me
Asking price: $200
Sale price: $200
Purchase venue: Hand registration
Purchase price: $8
Details:
I contacted about 50 potential customers, one was interested and agreed to the price. He immediately paid me $200 on my paypal account but did not want to open the account at the registry where my domain was located so we waited for the domain to exit the domain lock period and then made the transfer to his registrar.


Thank you once again and wish you good luck and success :xf.smile:

P.S. Sorry for my bad english. :smuggrin:

Many congratulations. Wish more come your way.

Giving up is easy but its the worst thing one can do to oneself.

Whatever you do, give it everything..

Congrats! Question for @barton001.

When you mention that you contacted 50 potential customers. How did you come up with the list of 50 people to contact?

Was it businesses that had yellow page listings but no website or did you find someone who buys a lot of similar domains or something similar to one of these approaches?

Congrats @barton001 :xf.smile: to follow up @convertcontent did you try outbound with many other names before making this sale? Were they also geo or did you try outbound with other types of names too?

No, these are jobs that already have developed websites.

25x is amazing for a handreg

Shows how the market has changed. I sold my first name for £5,000. Was a £10 "hand reg". That was in 2000.
