First, a direct inquiry came for BoostCamp.com via WHOIS in early February for which I quoted $6888. I got counter offer of $1750 which I declined. After going back and forth in exchanging several emails, the buyer agreed upon the originally quoted price of $6888. Payment was received last week. Unless the payment doesn’t arrive in escrow, I don’t consider it a successful sale as we’ve seen many potential buyers backed out with silence after even starting escrow. So all in all, it took more than a month to complete this deal. But all ended well as I didn’t need to pay any commission and pocketed full amount. By the way, I acquired the domain last year for low-mid 3 figures.

I used Sedo.com escrow and put the escrow fee to be paid by buyer. Sedo escrow service is better than Escrow.com mainly due to their not so much complicated verification requirements which is especially frustrating for one time buyer. Thanks for the members of NamePros who suggested using Sedo escrow when I asked I need to know some alternative to Escrow.com where I can receive funds in PayPal.

The only issue I face using Sedo escrow is when I initiate a transaction, the request goes to Sedo to start transaction whereas it should automatically be started like at Escrow.com. They must make it automated instead of current manual system which seems bit outdated.

Another sale was super quick and smooth. The buyer came via Uniregistry lander on Avellino.com which I acquired two years back for low 4 figures.

I originally quoted $16888. Buyer simply agreed to price and asked how to proceed with next step. Started Uniregistry checkout which is very smooth and easy to use. The only issue is their service fee which is on high side considering the escrow fee was paid by buyer and still their service fee which I’d to pay was $186. Still I’m happy using their escrow compare to Escrow.com. So currently I prefer using either Sedo escrow or Uniregistry checkout. In both cases, I put on escrow fee to be paid by buyer.

wow congrats... many people wish they made this profit in one year in domainign that you just did here above ;)

just wondering, if you had other interests and what kind of offers for avellino in last 2 years... before selling now?

also can you clarify what you mean by buyer paying escrow on avellino? I thought if inquiry comes through unireg and you use their checkout, its a flat 20% fee or thereabouts... ? so how much % fee did you pay then on avellino?

thanks!

Thank you my friend!

I received 1-2K offer from other potential buyers on Avellino in last couple of years.

There is no 15% or 20% commission if you sell the domain without using their brokerage service. Since I handled the lead, I paid $186 as their service fee for using their super smooth checkout system which is well set and automated. Once payment is approved, domain gets transferred to buyer account automatically. Like Fast Transfer over at Afternic.

@AbdulBasit.com , in both cases it seemed that make offer turned out to be the best fit for those 2 sales, especially the first one as it enabled you to negotiate it up... did you happen to have bins anywhere else or make offer everywhere?

This hurts, but maybe it will help someone. Michigan Trailers in king was listed for $2200 at Afternic but $799 at Sedo.com

Domain sold through MLS program at Network Solutions for $2200. Web.com paid me the $799 listed at SEDO.com.

Kind of sums up my week but I'm still grateful for the sale.

For both domains, I quoted first and stick firm with the asking price especially in BoostCamp sale because in Avellino case, the buyer accepted immediately so there was nothing of like negotiation involved.

Also both domains had same BIN at Sedo/Afternic. I'm happy to close the deals myself as it not only saves commission but gives me more knowledge and skills to communicate, negotiate, having patience, etc.

Congrats! That is a fair price for an Italian city of 55K people! Great that the buyer understood the value. BoostCamp is also great combo. As always, you have great eye for good names.

First Reason Fiku means Fig ... i did usual paid ads like i do for my all domains ... when i reached owner he was asking 10k USD i felt like its not possible to negotiate but still i offered him 1.5 he rejected then after few days he emailed me back with price 1.9k and i bought it..but he was really afraid to proceed in transfer process i kept him calm down step by step and i got it :)
Thanks
