I completed another, third, 5 figure sale of the year.

The sale price from inbound inquiry was $12,500 paid in bitcoin. After CoinBase fees, net around $12,350

Original asking price $19,000. Starting offer $5,000.

After initial email enquiry, I made a phone call to the number provided. Made sure it was less than 24 hours from the inquiry to the call.

We had a nice conversation for an hour, but price negotiation was over the email. In all, from the receipt of the email to receiving cash in my account - less than 48 hours.

No escrow was used. We carried out the payment and name transfer "live" over the phone. He paid 50% of the amount, I moved the name, he paid the second installment.

The new owner is an amazing guy with brilliant ideas and feels good to know that the name will be put to a great use.

I will reveal the name later today :)

Sincerely,

El

@Recons.Com congrats on a brilliant sale! An 8 year hold... now that's what I call domain investing! ;) (Also, fantastic phone/crypto negotiation... Reminds me of one of those ol' hit-man movies... "50% now, and 50% upon delivery" :laugh:)

Thanks, brother )

Out of 1200+ names, I probably have around 100 names for which I have my own personal development idea that I will eventually get to, so no rush to part with ) That said, I have also told myself not to fall in love with any and keep the inventory moving, just make sure I can find a replacement if need be )

Yeah, negotiation was great and intense ) I could understand that he did not want to pay big amount with no guarantee. Decided that, based on my intuition and due diligence, I am OK to trust. No one in his mind would pay $6250 for a name that they plan for their startup and then not pay the remaining and start from tarnishing the brand like that.

And that movie analogy is pure gold ) or, should I say, noble metal?! ))

@Recons.Com Do you had meaningful offers for this domain in the past?
Congrats and thanks for sharing. :)

Thank you ) Had few price quote requests and no response to "make your offer" )

I have changed my strategy to putting bin prices on most of my names. I just bin high the ones I don't mind keeping :)

Thank you ) That is the thing though. It is not quite "2 words", unless we would consider "Heavy Metal", "Milky Way" two words.

Don't have any specific landing page yet, unfortunately. That is up in my laundry list. Most everything currently follows to recons/com which is also work in progress

I want to make a marketplace for my names at RightBrand.com and then each name would get its own page there.

Congrats on the sales
