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.

 

[The CEO]

Amazing sale written up in an informative and fun way. Wow! Super congratulations. I had no idea what MENA means before your post.

As well as NameBio you should get in contact with Ron Jackson for DNJoirnal.

I am sure brokers often are essential in facilitating big deals, but sounds not here.

Congrats again.

Middle East and North Africa (MENA)

Oh and the sneaks? A pair of Yeezy's! ( Yea that's right 46 year old in midlife crisis!) So yea. My sale was actually $24,750 lol. Only in NYC will you step in human poo. Well...
Maybe San Francisco!

Thank you for keeping it real for others in mid-life crisis!

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

agreed. I have dealt with brokers and did not mind their deal.

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.

Congratulations. It is really a great sale and you got the real value for the domain name. All the best. Curious to know your 6 figure sale soon.

Congratulations. It is really a great sale and you got the real value for the domain name. All the best. Curious to know your 6 figure sale soon.

yea. me too. It's in the travel sector. Got an exact match domain for a brand they are already calling themselves. but.......they don't own the domain.

my domain is plural.

single letter + Two words with last word plural + .com

They own single letter + two words with last word singular+.com yet for some reason they never used it yet.. Theirs was registered 2016. I beat them to the plural version of theirs by 3 months. (Should have gotten the singular one. But I like the plural better.)

They threatened instead to buy an aftermarket one that is a

single letter + single word singular + .com. That was almost 5 months ago. I haven't responded to their offer since and yet 5 months later they still didn't buy the domain they threatened to get instead of my version.

So something tells me despite my six figure ask. They still are waiting if they can or if they will get it. They still haven't gone with the domain they registered nor the one they said they would go for that's a five figure domain. Five figures is their offer to me on my domain.

This is not a domain that a company buys for SEO purposes. It's a domain people buy as their main web address.

i haven't accepted. Holding out as they are already using the brand of which I have the exact match.

I could just again end up having them disappear on me. But that's my gamble.

You gotta love denying a huge company that earns $2 billion in sales yearly what it wants and needs all for the price of a $6 ticket. lol

Win or lose. I enjoy little me stopping something huge.

Reminds me of this.

This above is a domainer in a nutshell vs. some big corporation.
If a potential buyer tries to play chicken with you. Just send them the picture above. Tell them buy or no buy you enjoy being the tiny guy preventing the big guy from making a move or going where they wanna go.

all for the price of a cup of coffee at starbucks yearly.

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

 

[Abdullah Abdullah]

Congrats @Avtar629 , I see and use MENA , that word , everyday in my work so it is not new to me at all. Excellent sale. I did not check the possibility of this word as a domain, however I registered too domains and they are getting good traffic.I dont know if it s from domainers visiting the domains or not, but it is not bot traffic at all. Upon more research I discovered that one domain that I created is already very well trend and surprised by it really, since I was able to get it.

 

[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]

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

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

Congrats on this sale and thanks for the inspiration because I just snagged MenaExports.com

Is this the domain?

 

[BradWilson]

Is this the domain?

Yes

 

[Abdullah Abdullah]

Yes

Nice, the offer came through Namesilo? Good luck. What was the BIN or was there none?

 

[Dosebuy]

Yes

That is insane. A two day old domain and already got that offer?
Im amazed I havent a six digit bid on menahousing.com yet if that the case.

Just kidding, inspiring and awesome stuff.

 

[BradWilson]

Nice, the offer came through Namesilo? Good luck. What was the BIN or was there none?

It's was $25,000 based on the theme of this thread

I got the $18,888 offer and since I'm new to the way NameSilo does landing pages (I'm definitely not a newbie to selling domains) I mistakenly used the wrong template. As a result they used the contact form and I had to deal with them outside the NameSilo system.

I emailed the buyer to accept the offer and then asked them to return to the website to use the Buy Now - Ugh!

 

[E-Thunder]

This is pretty interesting stuff. Lots of information online about MENA exports and UAE in particular. Let us know how things go.

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).

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.
