Ledger dot org ... $30k
Inbound email via hypernames.co
Bought on Sedo for $6k on 16/11/17 (seller began an auction using my counter-offer, but no other bids)
22nd Nov: I got the domain into my account and set up a landing page on hypernames.co - with an asking price of $45k. Had a couple of inquiries within the first few days, but nothing serious.
28th Nov: I had a five-figure inbound offer (via a broker). I countered at $30k, which was accepted.
The Escrow transaction recently completed, and the buyer was revealed as a well known crypto brand, manufacturing hardware wallets.

i think its just registrar/registry white hat marketing..
his recent sales:
medici dot co $5k Registration Date: 2017-11-29
mochi dot co ... $3k Registration Date: 2017-10-04
I checked the whois on them he is still an owner..
True I think to a certain extent, but it's possible at least to get a general feel about what's a good name, and more importantly what isn't.The appraisal section here is a total nonsense and bs.
Yes, I've found the replies are like names themselves - you have to realise which are the good ones!You need to use your own judgement and read between the lines.

As others have suggested in this thread, domaining isn't a simple or quick way to make money.
There is a huge volume of public information and sales data available, and it can become confusing.
Not all of the information is created equal and so we must make a constant effort to separate signal from noise. This is also true of almost every investment industry - equities, forex, crypto, etc. It's also useful to digest knowledge through your own lens and apply things in a way that fits you as an individual, whilst understand/avoiding the internal biases that affect every investor.
There are many varied routes to profit in domaining. Whilst some doors have closed over the years (such as hand-regging killer one word .coms), other doors have opened. You can discover potential opportunities by reading, speaking to others, and analysing data from sales threads / namebio.
You can then validate your discoveries through your own investments.
Having said all of that, I fully empthaise with your situation. I had years of losses and almost gave up multiple times. I'd love to take full credit for the journey but I'm open to admitting that I've got lucky numerous times and this has given me some momentum.
As domainers, our primary goal is to find domains that we think are undervalued, buy them and then resell them for profit. Easier said than done, because it takes time to understand what 'value' looks like. Even once you think you know, it's still possible to get it wrong. The learning curve is steep and can quickly consume time, money and emotional energy. Luck obviously plays a huge part - but your applied knowledge enhances the probability that positive outcomes can happen.
This forum is proof that there is a community which is willing to help you find your own path - as long as you're being positive, polite and asking the right questions. Nobody has the perfect answers, because there aren't any. On occasion, the advice/feedback of others might not look right to you - and that's ok. Listen, filter, tweak your own decision framework and keep moving onwards.
I try to share my experiences here openly - with high transparency and without agenda. I apologise if I've done or said anything to indicate otherwise. I always try to provide context alongside my sales posts, so that readers can understand that there is no magic or secret sauce. I can confirm that I have no affiliation with any registrar or registry. I have no mission or goals to coax anyone into doing anything. The only hat I have is made of wool and it keeps my head warm in the winter

I agree with OP to some extent. There is no market (in my opinion) but other domainers
Try to imagine you are a startupper, have very limited funding... Would you waste real money on some "premium" .com? I don't mean $xxx - low $xxxx. I'd rather spend on adverts or so...
It's not just startups, established companies are domains buyers too. Either to upgrade their existing domain name, for rebranding or to complement their brand names.Try to imagine you are a startupper, have very limited funding... Would you waste real money on some "premium" .com? I don't mean $xxx - low $xxxx. I'd rather spend on adverts or so...
In my opinion, "good" (in domainers' opinion) domain name is much less useful than domainers believe. You cannot buy any really good domain name for $2k nowadays and you couldn't even 10 years ago. So, waste of money for any sturtupA startup that cannot afford to spend 2K
It's not profitable to sell for $xxx - low $xxxx unless you have a decent portfolio (that will definitely cost you more than reg.fee to acquire). Also you must like active sales (that I hate and never did)Most sales are probably around 2K or in that range.

Make smaller sales, but repeatedly.
