I'd sold many .xyz domains between 2015 and 2018 up to about $5k before GDPR came into effect and stopped inquiries via email. After I priced everything in my portfolio over a long weekend and put it up on Alter.com I sold Places just two weeks later in October 2021. Things were strong the rest of that year. Quiet in Q1 2022 when I pivoted to Dan.com, picked up again in Q2-Q4, then quiet again until recently.
Since October 2021 these are the .xyz domains I've sold for more than $2000 from my own portfolio:
Heirloom $8000
Hackathon $9999
Bio $10000
Contracts $14888
Uno $16888
Merch $16888
Places $16888
MVP $42888
There are three other transactions that were lease to own that stopped paying between 4-9 months :
Riot- 12 month LTO paid for four months and I netted $4800 (a finance startup that didn't take off)
Gigs - 60 month LTO paid for six months and I netted $3180 (only ever got to a landing page)
Dos - 60 month LTO paid for nine months and I netted $3177 (DreamOS "the operating system for Web3)
I have two LTO active for .xyz domains: insiders and mega.
Hi
@kellie Thank you for sharing this valuable insight and details.
Question, when you sold Mega xyz what was your m/o set at in relation to the BIN? I've been trying to determine if its best to give them all the wiggle room or cap it at 1/ - 2/3 of the BIN as not to appear weak.
I have the google cached ss of your dan sales lander prior to the sale which shows exactly as you shared. ( I would post here with your okay) however a cached page will not give the min O price.
I ask as I've been going months with one of my .xyz and a certain company and the CMO whom if it were up to him, a deal would be done at the price range I've been standing by ( close to your sale
he's still working to convince his seniors......I wonder if the m/o set to low or at all withh a HIGH bin is creating to much friction.
As for everyone esle and the >XYZ sh8T show run by Mann and so many others, I'll say my piece in time but I think many look very silly with there accusations.
1) Anyone can go back years in the XYZ thread and see where Sweath started out as most, and actually had some crappy names lol...over time in the thread.. you can see where she began to grow a Great 1 word portfolio. At that time they were still 0.99$ and people are amazed how one person got 20K of the best LMAO...
you also can see when she began catching .xyz before most,
2) If your not a Fly Fisherman, you shouldn't be giving lesson on Fly fishing :
MOST not all MOST xyz sales are Web3 /Crypto Blockchain related companies! If your not active in nfts, crypto, web3 , blockchain...or should I say part of it...How many of you here own an NFT? use a crypto wallet, or actullay understand anything about the metaverse?????? Tech grows, it changes, and we seeing a new digital era
When Sweata was making the many great sales in a row, the crypto BULL market was hot Eth was $4,500 a coin! These compaines were fueled with VC funding before FTX crash & SVB crash.
They DO NOT want a 3 word Mann .com for 594,888......A Brand!
Any cool or great tech 1 word .com would be 6/7 figures.
.io is great but not the same as this New Generation of Tech builders cough cough .....Gen X Y Z!
Loaded with crypto, VC funding, a raging Bull market and Culture..... 1 word .xyz was it.
Now you have large Institutions getting in on crypto with BLACKROCK coming full circle and apply
for Bitcoin ETFs
Folks are still building even thought the market and flow has slowed.
As Ethereum goes back up, you can be sure
@DNGear will be reporting more sales.
Seriously...all of you including the mr mann himself should go read .xyz thread and see how started and and grew as we all do.
Earlybid gets the worm..... oh wait that was a sale to EarlyBird.xyz ( what do you know a Dev Web3 Cross chain platform)
The fact someone has shared here Aftenic loggin, pics, pics of her on twitter with Anita Walker, ( whom mann and others claim as fake, N's army of scammers) is shameful silly, and bitter foolish to make assumptions without know all the facts....... She is Indeed a woman, whom I have heard speak numerous times in Twitter Spaces and Discord for NFT projects, such as the one started by Booth (Paradise.com) whom no longer runs that project. Point being........so many fingers being pointed at others...be people that are GREAT at what they do .....dot com, domains, mann is great...............................but Web3 Tech & culture are Str8 fuc*king Clueless!!
As R Josh said and joked on TW, I too can't wait to close my 1st high 5/+6 Fig xyz and be labeled a fake unreal person and start handing out my login receipts as well.
It's shameful honestly! ...Jack the domainer is a clown, and it's just so many narrow sighted people that need to really take off the blinders and dive in.
yes ..20K names,,,,shes making all the big sales....becuase SHE grabbed 95% of all the best Brandable 1 words...
Yet other great brokers have still made large .xyz sales too, as they were able to get a few good ones, Rosner is just one of the many.
....I'm done, I never planned to write this much or get sucked in but I'm Fucking sick of seeing this shit!
Have a blessed one all of you.
( ps im not going back to typo proof, so make due)
Cheers
