Can you provide live evidence that you sold those domains?
Everybody can go to Namebio and see big sales then create such topics with "i sold that and this" title.
Thanks for cooperation and bringing value to NP's community but only after you prove it.

I will not state his name as STIK is an anonymous artist.

The best advice my father ever gave me, he’s a retired executive who was a master of sales.

“The answer is always no unless you ask”

Once you can get past the embarrassing part of asking for something that most people feel, you will level up. If you ask enough times you eventually get a yes.

Congrats on the sale.

The LLLL being referred to is grim dot com. It is reported on NameBio.

When/how did you acquire it, and for what amount (approximately)? Was this a BIN sale, or negotiation?


Thanks so it was 50k cash and 25k worth of art. The domain was previous a pretty big company that dealt with real estate outreach or something, they were a big deal. They shut down after a decade
or so and I was typing in random domains that sound good to me one night and found their “goodbye” page which had been up for a year so I made an offer which was low five figures.

I bought the domain on an installment so let that be motivation for you all out there without big bank. It was all a gamble but at the end of the day it was a ten year hold, so it would have matured.

You sold it for $50K not 75K as the title says... still congrats!

Congratulations to you and the artist, win-win situation. Did you reach out to stick regarding the domain sale or was it the other way around? Thanks.

Thank you, I reached out to him. It was pretty easy. He had wanted the name for years. If anyone takes anything from this thread it hopefully is that finding names that have never been on the market should be a priority and that installments are your friend.

Also I wanted people to take from this info that bartering is your friend. Remember that the people you are negotiating with potentially have a product that they can produce for a low price yet you can still sell for a good amount, in this case artwork.

I used to do what OP did with Stik. I was contacting people with dead sites and RIP pages (company closed). Got two domains this way, these 2 domains were my best performers. Fast sales as well.

Got one domain for $500, sold for $10K.

P.S. Glad to see a change on this forum with McJilton, too much crying and self-pitty on Namepros lately.

I find that sales are like the old saying "happiness is a choice". People can chose to be happy or chose to be broken and miserable, I see the same with sales. You have to go out and make something out of nothing and the only way to do that is not giving up, pushing harder and repetition. In other words it's our own choice to believe in ourselves and the product we are pushing.

If people are not hyped up and out there trying to sell and not believing in what they are trying to sell, they stand less of a chance at success in my opinion. When I say hyped up, I mean in their own minds, not like a cheap infomercial with your calls to action.. For example, when I go to an end user with a domain I am confident in my mind that I have something that no one else can give them.

In other words, the pity parties and sad people are creating their own misfortunes, which leads me to my next secret (no pun intended) weapon which is the law of attraction. Think it into existence, if they are not creating thoughts that are positive and moving them in a positive direction they will hold themselves up in an indefinite loop of nonense instead of build. I kind of speak from personal experience. I was making six figure months as an affiliate starting age 24 (39 now). Had many ups and downs.

Thank you, for posting what I clearly did not want to. Let them do their own homework.
No problem. It is public information.

It's a great domain though. You don't see a LLLL.com word come up too often.
I would have expected it to sell for more.

There was no negotiation, he wa a very nice guy and I was going to ask 100 but I decided to ask for 50. He’s a good dude stik.

For those who don’t know, stik donates a majority of his proceeds and still lives with commoners in community housing. The man can literally paint six figure works in an hour yet does not sell out.

He’s not one to hit with an astronomical price.

Thanks, excellent quote, the hard part is hearing no but if you expect it and learn how to not get upset at the answer “no” then asking becomes easier and easier. For example most would not have asked for the extra art but I figured why not?

It will be posted about on short names and here I’m sure, not posting it because I likely have it sold already, not trying to be rude.

Thanks
How did you sell it already if you just won the auction today at SnapNames?

Congratulations. Very good name. Very good outcome. 4L is my most favorite niche which brings me amazing & consistent results regularly. Pronounceable and/or meaningful 4L will appreciate over time.
