Around $50 on Flippa.

I could see this going for low $xxx if you get lucky; or low $xx if you get unlucky. Flippa LLL.io sales can be kind of random.

 

[kuntuzangpo]

Thank you Mr. Dent!

Any other thoughts?

 

[kuntuzangpo]

I just sold it for 705 on Flippa yesterday.

I think it is worth x,xxx minimum. Good deal for everyone.

 

[mdent]

Very nice sale! Congrats

Here ya go! https://flippa.com/8195969-mkt-io

 

[kuntuzangpo]

It's a huge domain, I would pay much more as an end user.

 

[Pierre Barnard]

Well, I was proven wrong. I guestimated $50 based on my own experience selling MANY 3L .io domains on Flippa and elsewhere. Anyway, well played.

 

[deez007]

Honestly really doesnt make sense to me at all... I've seen good 3L.io sell for like $xx on Flippa.. some didn;t even sell..

Well done on this sale dude...

mkt simply means the android os version which most Chinese use on there mobile instead of the normal snapdragon so i guess the name goes well with the the tech field which .io represent..IMO

 

[Pierre Barnard]

Thanks @domainwest thats seems plausible.

I think you reffering to the processor not the OS

Android is the OS

Snapdragon and MediaTek are the processors used on most android based smartphones.

To the best of my knowledge MTK is the abbreviation for Media Tek and not MKT.

To me, it looks more like a short form for "Market" but who knows...

Because anything is possible, i am learning that there is not really any roules about who likes some weird domain name out there. Anything can be something good for soneone to buy.

I actually listed it twice, the first time it got something like $50 usd in bids in 30 days. It had a reserve so it didn't sell.

I listed it again "when the energy felt right" and I could see the watchers compounded towards the second listing. Each unsuccessful listing seems to build the number of watchers significantly.

I spent $135 to acquire it.

Good luck men! : D Hope that helps.

 

[Pierre Barnard]

Thanks, appreciate the tips. Second-time no reserve? And also 30 days?

 

[AndyM]

Well done on the sale

 

[kuntuzangpo]

Thanks, appreciate the tips. Second-time no reserve? And also 30 days?

Second time $30 start, $50 reserve. That way I guaranteed at least 2 bids to get things moving early and visible in the most active page.

Thanks again, last question (hopefully), did you advertise anywhere special? Any outbound?
My normal routine is post here on NP, Post on Twitter (once or twice daily), Facebook Groups (although Im not sure its effective). I also found the Flippa upgrades too expensive and not worth it.

 

[kuntuzangpo]

Thanks again, last question (hopefully), did you advertise anywhere special? Any outbound?

I listed for 30 days last time. All I did was this post here on Namepros and 7 outbound emails that none got replies... I found leads on GitHub search.
