Hey, Domainers!

I'm new to this board.

Been reading this forum from a week now and watching sales happening; So, here's my turn -

Just sold my first domain (gTLD) through DAN today. Got an offer of $500 and I clicked "Accept" within few minutes as it was a hand-reg a few days ago for ~$8. Though it was a well-researched domain. Got this buyer through outreach.

Well, I'd recommend DAN for selling newly registered domains under $xxx. The best about DAN is that you can sell newly registered without worrying about 60 day lock period. Afternic got strict terms, one of them is to have a domain at least 60 days old to get listed on their premium network. But they're good for high-value sales.

For selling a new, locked domain, usually, I have to convince the buyer to make an account on the domain registrar, pay through Paypal, make trust, push domain... and I have to send multiple follow-ups to do that. That's a headache for me and not productive at all.

DAN saved me from all this clutter. They have accounts on most domain registrar and what they do is ask you to push the domain to their Escrow account (that's an automated process). Wish I could've knew this earlier.

I found this really helpful. From now on, all I have to do is head the buyer to DAN and DAN will handle everything for me. The whole deal completed within minutes. I'm now waiting for my payment from DAN. Not to mention - they support crypto. If you're concerned about privacy like me though you've to go through verification to enable that option.

I know many of here are pros and know this already, but many newbies don't. I thought I'd share with them.

Got two more interested buyers in talk. Let's see how it goes. :)

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
Being a veteran here, maybe you didn't find any value in it, but the tip I shared is should be helpful for some people. I thought I'd have knew this earlier.
I am no way near a veteran, still learning and willing to learn, that is why these type of threads are one of my pet hates, people come here to learn and by just providing a platform and a figure there is no meat on the bones, there are plenty of threads on here about DAN and everything mentioned in this thread has been covered already....except the dollar amount you sold a hand reg for.....

I stand by original comment - even though it was abrasive in nature, next time I will make sure to be nicer...

Congratz on the sale and good luck with the others in your pipeline.....

Why so judgemental? I don't really understand the need to bite and backlash at people esp new users sharing info, in whatever way they choose. So much negativity.

I've been around the web for years and it seems counter-intuitive to nit pick at newcomers (unless they're scamming that's another thing). Forums are for discussion, poster starts a discussion, he's not a NP staffer.

And why would a "new" member be the most helpful? That's for the veterans, right? Teach and mentor. No need to tear down peers.

I agree.

Few weeks ago I started a thread for a topic I wanted some guidance on and (not so) surprisingly, not a single reply from any senior member.

It is funny how people expect a lot from others but don't share anything when it's their call.

Just my 2 cents.

Congrats to the OP for selling the domain. Keep it coming, mate.

I hear you, and sadly I feel like opportunities to step up to the plate and assist can be left unanswered and that's really a shame. I too have had posts without a single response, where I would have loved senior insight. I just keep on moving.

This should be as much a learning environment (in a positive way) as it is anything else.

On a positive note, I learn a lot from the news posts of @equity78 and @Robbie

People usually reply. I have seen many successful members who take out the time to write long thoughtful replies. There are many helpful people. You can reach out too. There are many giod people in the world.
I have been part of maby forums over my lifetime and even when all BB forums have died, i surprisingly find namepros extremely helpful.
Maybe the thread got lost, maybe Noone sae it.
I keep an eye on aution and bargain deals but i have missed many deals because they got buried.
