information CoinMena.com sold $25,000 - No commission/brokers/fees - sold by WhoaDomain.com

[WhoaDomain.com]

CoinMena.com Coin "Middle East North Africa"

Ok I can finally announce the sale of CoinMena.com. No NDA but I agreed not to mention who bought the domain even though a quick check is easy enough. The buyer would like to remain anonymous but does not mind the publicity from the sale of CoinMena.com.

Sorry guys. Don't take this photo seriously. It's for shock value not show off value and perhaps for exposure. Just goofin off. Check out that huge melon! (unfortunately empty!) lol

So this makes CoinMena.com at $25,000 the 5th largest domain sale for a domain beginning with keyword "Coin" and highest domain sale for a domain ending with "Mena". MENA stands for Middle East North Africa.

I wish the buyer the best. Met him in person in NYC. Had lunch with buyer at Veselka's, my treat.

Side Note: The buyer told me that the broker they hired to get CoinMena.com for them told them that at most CoinMena.com should cost only $25,000. Buyer told me that Broker offered $8,000+ to me which the broker did and that the broker planned to sell it to them for $25,000. Buyer did not like this arrangement he told me and decided to buy from me directly since we were already in contact prior to the broker being brought in. I really did not understand why they felt the need to bring a broker into the mix.

If it can be avoided, I really would rather not deal with a broker.

Although that's what I did with my last sale PaladinDrones.com.

When brokers contact me, as a rule I ignore, but in this case I said "why not?"

I have no issue with the broker in this case. I'd probably do the same and try to flip a domain for quick profit.

I hope giving this info will help other domainers make the right decision.

I had asked for a ridiculous price of $250,000 so I guess $25,000 was a relief to them.

First we were warned that today. Godaddy users were experiencing issues with transferring domains via Godaddy Push but not external transfers. Supposedly when you do a transfer. The Transfer Button is not made available. But we did not experience that. What we did experience was that the buyer did not receive transfer confirmation email after I had accepted the whois info change update.

The transaction took long because there was an issue pushing the domain from one Godaddy account to another Godaddy account. Had to cancel transfer. Then there was an "error". So ended up transferring to Google Domains.

In which case, Godaddy rep warned me that Google Domains an "experiment" that was being phased out. and the transfer might end up in limbo. I don't know what he was talking about as the transfer went off without a hitch over to Google. Buyer said Godaddy rep was just scaring us into doing the Godaddy push to keep the domain with Godaddy.

It's not the 6 figures I always go for but it's a good start in my liquidation this year.

I have more "Coin" and "MENA" domains if anyone is interested. Next one I'm working on I am going for 6 figures for updates follow me on here.

I hope this sale helps others with their keywords.

I hope this sale gains me some exposure for my other domains.

I also hope people will think twice before sending me $100 offers for my domains.

I also hope this Cashier's check clears tomorrow or else I'll have egg on my face.

Anyone know if I can submit this sale with Namebio without providing info on the buyer?

Good luck to everyone else on their future deals!


Edit: Forgot to mention. Prior to meeting buyer.I was late to the meeting because I stepped in dog poop. ( at least I hope it was dog poop although I looked "human" lol) Had to throw out my sneakers and buy flip flops.

really nice looking website.

Loved the graphics.

[WhoaDomain.com]

Wow, thats nice. I of course searched for that one, haha.

MetroMena
MenaMetro
MenaBusinessGroup

All in coms.

/Dose

www.dosebuy.com

the menabusinessgroup.com is a bit long. I have recently been shedding the fat from my inventory and allowing three word domains to go into redemption and let them go and not transfer them out. The reset are decent. good luck

interesting. just checked on TopMena.com and it was registered on july 10th. This thread was started by me on july 18th. 8 days after.

spooky coincidence.

And topmena.com registered by chinese.

was deleted on 2019-06-01

Chinese are grabbing these domains for investment for sure. missed that one.\

cashmena.com reg by Chinese yet again. 2019-06-03

I'll look into this some more. if anyone finds any interesting in the regs let us know on this thread.

I have regged Mena.cash

 

[Goku]

What an eye-opener and busting the myth about domain brokers though I feel not every other broker is like that.

 

[Dosebuy]

Update: coinapac was taken, coinemea still available.

Thanks for the tip .
Be sure to reach out to me when it sells.
Otherwise I will try to remember you but I get so arrogant when I got money...

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

Sorry, not gonna hijack the thread. But the thing about APAC is interesting.

https://gomedici.com/top-startups-APAC-cryptocurrency-ecosystem

In this article it says:

Although North America plays a major role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem due to its early adoption of the digital currency, the focus, with respect to the coming years, is on the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. APAC has a significant chunk of the market, with 36% of all participants in the industry, and 27% of the cryptocurrency exchanges. In contrast, North America accounts for 27% of all participants and 18% of transactions. Moreover, owing to factors such as a lower cost of electricity, high penetration of internet access, increased usage of smartphones, and flexibility in the regulatory markets, the emerging APAC markets are considered crucial in the global cryptocurrency ecosystem.

This is why I just purchased CoinAsia.com as it was offered to me by someone who probably saw my sale of CoinMena.com.

[Abdullah Abdullah]

Well awesome news, I just got a very large offer $18,888 for the MENA domain I just snagged

Very interesting, is that a Chinese offer with the 888s ? Good luck

 

[BradWilson]

Thanks - Based on the little info I got from the offer no not from there but 888 would make me think the same thing.

 

[BradWilson]

I've accepted his offer and now I'm just playing the waiting game.

 

[Dosebuy]

I'm posting this screen grab just in case anyone doubts this (but of course this deal could fail apart like has happened many times before).

Nice. If this goes through I would be very happy for you. Fingers crossed!

 

[BradWilson]

Well so far nothing, I've not received a reply to my email accepting the offer which doesn't really surprise me but who knows.

Damnit. It is a good name and will eventually pay off! Good find. Hopefully they will come back.

 

[ET76]

I have CoinKhalifa and MenaPlaza all in dot com

 

[BradWilson]

I'm going to guess that this is someone messing with you, especially with that figure on a domain you just registered. I hope I'm wrong.

You are probably right and I figured it was. I've had many many "offers" over the last 20 years.

 

[Sumeeth]

My mena domains:

Alpha-Mena.com
DexMena.com
KoinMena.com
Big-Mena.com
Mena.Company
Mena.Cash
MenaCoin.co

Thanks,

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

I've got Asia5G.com

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

I've got

• menabet .com
• menacasinos .com

I don't know about these my friend. When I think MENA I think Muslim/Islam. Maybe I'm naive and don't know but to Muslim gambling is "Haram"? Or against religious rules of Muslims?

Although the "NA" part is North Africa and there are casinos in Africa.

I own AfricaOnlineCasino.com

Congrats on your Big Sale of Coinmena.com @Avtar629

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

Congrats on your Big Sale of Coinmena.com @Avtar629

Thanks buddy. Hopefully it will trigger some "investment" in aftermarket "Mena" domains.

 

[sharastar]

Thanks buddy. Hopefully it will trigger some "investment" in aftermarket "Mena" domains.

Yup.Also thank you for some insights about brokers and the Inspiration of 5 Figures Sale to Two Word Domain Name.

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

@Avtar629 did you have any luck getting it to NameBio and/or DNJournal or where you can't disclose the buyer's name they could not list them?

Would be nice to get the high value MENA sale in a public listing, if possible, but I understand it may not be.

Bob

yea I think I sent a message via my mobile to Namebio.....ummm not sure if it went thru though as I was going thru a tunnel just as I was hitting send. I'll follow up.

I also wanted to put up all my other sales.

PaladinDrones.com $7,500
360Sand.com $8,000
WhoaTime.com $5,000

FleetBeacon.com $800 (I messed up on this one. This one was a killer category one)

 

[Picorio]

Nice!

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

Ha Ha ok just give us the intials, and let us think we know who it is. If your getting out, it will be a great goodbye contribution. I think it is a good time to take a step back, as aftermarket prices are pretty high, so you would be buying pretty high. Best to take those dollars, and maybe take them into a project offline that can provide steady income. I assume it was a hand reg for you based on the recent registration date, so pretty much a grand slam.

Lol naah. No initials. Not my style. Yea I'm thinking of starting a forum using Discourse and a ***"hub.com clone. Forums will be VRAR related and crypto.

Also going to invest in getting paid access to data to help me with my next domain auctions. Like ahref and majestic and semrush maybe develop mini rss feed affiliate sites.
