Got my second domain sale today! New Orleans + 2 keywords .com for $300.00 to end user. I emailed 28 companies and got a call and closed the deal.

+30,000. Hence the daily sales.
We register hundreds, sometimes thousands of domains at any given time - and opt for 2-word generic domains 90% of the time. Sometimes a few can slip through the cracks and be TM's as we don't have time to check filings for every single 2-word term. We never have ads on our .DE / .CO.UK sales pages and we do not outreach to companies to sell these types - buyers come to us. Only 1-2 times each year, a company asks us to hand over a name - which is low considering I have over 16k domains under MGMT.
Please can you be my mentorHello and Assalamo Alaikum,
It’s been just couple of weeks coming to Malaysia and right after relocating, I sold couple of domains and that too within 24 hours. It was really surprising and very satisfying to have 2 domain sales and that too of five figures! Having couple of five figures that quickly is a personal record. Credit to the hard working brokers and Afternic team.
Both of them happened via Afternic.
First sale was of DarkWallet.com which I originally listed for sale at $29,888 BIN both at Sedo and Afternic. Usually all my pricing is same at every marketplace. The buyer came via Afternic broker and initially offered $20,000. However, after going back and forth, we settled for $25,000 gross.
Next sale was definitely surprising which happened after DarkWallet.com sale where the buyer simply hit the BIN and paid $19,888 for it. The domain was BusinessChecking.com
The total acquisition costs for both domains was around $1,000.
Looks like the start of this new journey of moving to Malaysia has started fantastically well and hope it continues to keep ticking up only.
Feel free to comment no matter how good or good that is

Not because who the buyer is, as that never really matters to me. I always valuate according to my valuations.
@AbdulBasit.com - Thank you, & although you posted this very casually:
I'm sure that 2 sentence statement was read by many, but not considered. It speaks loudly of an honest business person, treating customers fairly, and a high level ethics.
I bring this up just to remind everyone there is a lot that makes someone successful in this space - there is much more, especially in domains, than squeezing every penny out of 1 deal. Many deals (valued correctly) & a good reputation will get you much further, typically.
All that takes time & no one should get frustrated or expect quick sales (as the norm). But, catching little bits of gold form those we all listen to - is the best reason the be on NamePros (IMO).
Also, thanks to everyone who shares and participated in this thread. There is so much to learn from everyone who posts here, particularly in understanding the market, trends, valuations, etc..

Just curious, were you using Afternic nameservers?I'm slowly becoming a believer in my own cctld.
Yes, most all of my names on are ns3 and ns4 servers. I actually use their nameserver landers on my own portfolio site. I like that the design of that lander and it is easy to frame on my own site. Hope that makes sense.Just curious, were you using Afternic nameservers?
Great sale!
your DAN portfolio are no BIN so how many offers you got monthly?Inbound
The landing pages are completely different.So whats the difference between the one's they list should be used, ns1.afternic.com ns2.afternic.com , &
ns3.afternic.com & ns4.afternic.com?
Thanks again, appreciate the info!
Just to add to your post, I believe the NS1 and NS2 name servers are used for parking with ads and a for sale sign somewhere on the page.The landing pages are completely different.
your DAN portfolio are no BIN so how many offers you got monthly?
So whats the difference between the one's they list should be used, ns1.afternic.com ns2.afternic.com , &
ns3.afternic.com & ns4.afternic.com?
Thanks again, appreciate the info!
It varies... Some months Ill get 20-50 offers, but I get some repeats on ones like PSN.codes where I believe someone is trying to buy Playstation Codes and it just becomes a headache lol. I do rotate to BIN here and there, but I feel like I get more responses with no BIN.
