Biggest Profit...?

[KillerDomain]

Hi, just doing a bit of research... whats the biggest profit you have made from a single domain name? If your willing, what was that domain name?

 

[Raikoh]

$20 - The-Wii.com

My first and only domain sale (thus far). :D

 

[nRnF]

1000000 % ROI (yes one million per cent) after 3 years !
(can't disclose name due to NDA).

Note this is exceptional luck, but pushes the addiction

Hi

Unfortunately the biggest sale I have had as yet was $40 which amounted to a $28 profit after the $7 it cost to buy the domain and the $5 fee for selling it on TDNAM.

It will be very interesting to see the posts that come in here and it is already inspiring me to bring in that golden sale like nRnF has done. Congratulations to you!

By far the biggest ROI has been a $6 hand regged name that I sold for $1,800 2 months after reg. Though the strategy I've used to make the most pure $ is finding an end-user willing to pay $x,xxx for a name I don't own (usually open to one of several), and then offer low $xx to the current owners and flip it to the end-user. That's fun

There's gems to be found out there - mostly from resellers who don't know how to sell their names. Just takes some legwork.

Biggest sale - $1,500
Biggest PROFIT - $7 to $700 in a bout a day.

[wow!]

Reg fee $9 sold for $2500
How much ROI is it?

 

[camille7_7]

My one and only sale: green-back.com
$9 reg fee and sold for $325

No offense but as a newbie, though I admire your....strategy , it is covert. Especially about the reseller part; now that I know how you play the game I will make sure I know what I have before I sell.

Trying to sell a name you dont yet have?...that is a bold move. BTW for you my friend all my names are $X,XXX.

2500/9*100 = 27777%

You misunderstand. I don't try to sell names I don't have yet. I look for names selling cheap. I look for end-users in the market for certain types of names. Then try to match it up. For example, an end-user was looking for a specific term and didn't care if it was .com/.net or .info. I asked his budget and found he was willing to pay $500. I contacted the owner of the .info and offered $50, he accepted, and I sold it to the end-user. Call it freelance brokering if you want. It keeps me from owning too many names that I have to keep paying reg fees on while trying to resell. Maybe not the best strategy, but it's been working.

BTW for you my friend all my names are $X,XXX.

I rarely buy on forums so if you get an offer from me, I doubt you'll know it.

Damn Sam.

All interesting... I wish I knew as much as you guys to sell for a decent profit

most I have made on a single domain name was about $200.

I bought it for roughly $100 (along with service) made 3x as much from the service withing the first month. After making a few 000' from the service over a few months something happened and lost the service. Ended up selling the domain name (which I was told was only worth low $xx for just over $300 and for some strange reason that eludes me the buyer never bothered to change nameservers and in fact they still point to my server (the name was sold a few months ago).

My largest profit from one domain would be a .com that I regged myself and sold a few months later for $600, here at Namepros.

what is 'the service'?

 

[Peter]

what is 'the service'?

it was hosting forums. But due to hackers and an inept support staff at the datacenter everything was lost and I didn't have the will to start over. And just checked the domain was sold back in April yet the nameservers still point to my server..
