Ever sold a name twice?

[Devil_Dog]

Just happened to me.

By twice I mean, last year around Jan 06 I picked up a financial company typo with pretty decent traffic on snapnames with no other bidders. Sat on it for a couple of months and collected some good rev and sold it for a profit.

Come Feb of this year, saw the same exact name dropping and picked it up again with no other bidders at snapnames and sold it for %400 profit.

You gotta love this business sometimes.

lol cool, the person who bought it from you originally must not be on the ball.

Some people are rediculous sometimes...

Congrats on your quick thinking and ability to keep your eyes open!

Your gonna have to teach me that trick. I would like to learn how to sell the same thing twice for 400% profit. Sounds like a great ebook and promotional course you can sell on late nite tv.

You can't do it on purpose..

I sold 2 names last year for $100 each and they are going to expire. The owner has never updated the WHOIS, so I am getting the renewal emails. :x

I see the title of your ebook already "Profiting from Other People's Stupidity in the Domain Game."

It's a small world After All :music:

I have also sold a name twice and also had the parking revenue still go to my account for a few years after I sold the domain. Its nice not having to pay $100 reg fees on a ccTLD yet still make the PPC rev

 

[Ringtonebro]

Well done !

Yeah, I've wondered about the ethics of this. Usually, as soon as I sell a domain, I remove it from my account wherever I have it parked. But I sometimes forget, and in those cases, I can get the parking revenue if the new owner doesn't change the settings. Is that a good way to do business? I'm not sure.

Interesting case recently: I sold (cheap) a name that I had parked at Sedo. A while later, I received a much higher offer for it at Sedo, and realized that I'd forgotten to delete it from my account. I contacted the buyer, bought it back from him for twice what he had paid me, and then sold it to the Sedo buyer for a nice profit.

I guess everyone came out happy in the end ....

P.S. Thanks to Devil_Dog for the idea of re-regging previously sold domains. I just checked my sales records and found a few available ones that I might grab. Rep+!
