Ok, guys. I have being wanting to ask this question and I am not sure if it is appropriate. My question is, how you guys felt when you made your first sale. Did you feel you've accomplished something? I made my first sale two weeks ago for $700 on sedo and i was so happy. Its a hand registered domain name.
Please share your experience with us if you don't mind. And how much did you sell it for? My domain name was sold less than a week after i registered it.
Thanks in advance
Congrats, and btw hello to the community.
I'm not domainer but liked to buy some domains that I think could have some potentials for developing and eventually be sold later.
Never sold anyone, frankly didn't tried, but expected that someone see domain and try to contact me to buy it.
My first sale was clearly accidental, I bought domain name for a client to develop site for his food catering small business. I remember it was 2 keywords with a dash com domain (kw1-kw2.com) nothing special to say, you could never assume that this domain could be sold.
Next year asked him to renew domain and hosting, he said sure and will send me the money soon. As it was due date for renew I renewed it with my own money. As you can assume he went MIA and I lost $10 and have some unusable domain to develop something else to recoup loss at least.
Then I recall some email from year before where someone asked if the domain is on sale, but it looked like some sort of spam/scam to me. Ok I say let try now nothing to lose.
And it turns out kw1 was some brand that have kw2 in their ads. They offered 500 euros and I didn't tried even to negotiate for more, was so happy lol. I covered wire transfer so I made about 450 euros from something that looked like a loss of $10 and more important from a situation where I felt someone scammed me.
