Hello everyone,

It’s been a great year in terms of getting lot of surprises. Some in a good way and some not so good…

The last couple of months before July were absolutely great and full of surprises and July was no doubt was another unexpected month but in a different way which I never want to have it. LOL

This is the seventh post of the Afternic experiment series after I published January, February, March, April, May and June results which I’m hopeful that you’ll find it interesting.

It was the worst month in terms of number and amount of sales this year at Afternic by just having 3 domain sales. Also with the biggest gap between sales and I was a bit upset to see no sales for so many days continuously which was an eye opener for me. This confirmed my long term set goal where I want to increase my portfolio with a few more thousands of domain to get rid of this inconsistency and I believe this will happen with the addition of at least 2,000 more domains added with the current 4,050 domains.

The first sale happened on 17th July of SolutionStack.com for $2,988 via Afternic sales lander.

Second was a big relief in the shape of TheFg.com for $9,888. Both of these sales were via BIN. This one was sold via GoDaddy.com

The last sale of Home-Comfort.com for $2,500 via GoDaddy lander and actually happened on 1st August (Malaysia time) but according to Afternic report and their timing, this took place on 31st July. Home-Comfort.com was having $2,988 BIN but after negotiation, I eventually agreed to sell for $2,500 to keep things moving.

Total number of inquiries received were little under 550.

On the other hand, my friend Muhammad Aamir from DotCorner was happy to share once again his July sales which are shared below:

KingNetwork.com for $4,000 and HappyMusic.com for $6,500.

I’ve seen July was slowest month for many domain investors including myself and Muhammad Aamir. But there were some investors who shared with me of July as their best month of this year. It’s good to see overall things are in a good shape for domain investing.

I hope this August will be a better month than last one and wish everyone the very best 🙂

Feel free to give your feedback no matter how good or good it is 😉

@abdulbasit congrats! I think you should have a minimum BIN threshold on your domains - let say starting with $4888, of course, there could be few exceptions.

Thanks Tauseef brother.
99% of my domains with Afternic are having BIN and starting from $1,888.

@AbdulBasit.com congrats!

I believe your current portfolio size is around 4000 domains
-With this size, what is your average sales per month ?

-Secondly, only if you don't mind disclosing, what is your average buying price of .com domains ?

-Do you ever hand register domains now for reg fees?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Steven! (y)

Yeah, currently 4,100.
3-5 sales per month.
These days the average price has gone pretty high and it's around $400 per domain.
I think of last hand registering domain in 2018...

Congratulations!

From the moment I joined this forum, you're one of the the few that keep advising...Go for quality names such as 4L etc and I'm getting to see the reason you set your eyes on fishing out quality names which is evident from your last hang reg of 2008.

I like the fact that you know what you want @AbdulBasit.com and you#re always keeping your eyes on the prize.

All aspiring domainers here got a lot to learn from you.

Best Wishes!

Once again you provide the Forum with outstanding first hand insights re the buying and selling of domain names.

Any would-be serious domain investor would do well to read everything you post and gain insights into the art of successful acquisitions, pricing and selling strategies!

Your July report was quite interesting, Thanks!

Thanks for sharing AbdulBasit.

Your friend sold KingNetwork.com and HappyMusic.com both very cheap from an end-user perspective but nevertheless, nice sales.

Thanks Josh for your feedback (y)

I totally agree with you as both domains were sold cheap from an enduser perspective.

Thanks for the feedback. Somehow never had much interest from end users during the 12+ years of holding period.
