news My First Sale at NamePros!!

[Miguel Ferreira]

I'd just like to make a disclaimer starting this thread: I'm in NO way shape or form a member of this forum that you probably know or even should know but I'm very interested in being in this industry and bringing as much value to it as I can, that's why I'm sharing this "win".

So I'd just like to announce that I've sold my first domain here. As you can see from my profile (if you want) I've only just recently become a part of the family, but thank you all for the warming welcome, much appreciated...

I'm at a point where my portfolio (of 5 domains now LOL) seemed to need a little extra something so I decided to get rid of my 5L Domain (dot com)...

I had picked it up (it was expired) thinking it could be a good investment a few months ago and I wanted to see what happened whit an auction here:

So I've listed this 5L (SPLKA) and I'm glad to announce that I've sold it for a whopping $1 - to its highest bidder!

While I'm obviously at a clear loss when it comes to money, I've learned that I should be careful when starting an auction with NO Reserve and that I should read the rules about the winning bid has to take the domain (if it's not stated otherwise it's within 72 hours, and obviously I didn't state otherwise LOL)...

So there you go guys: my first successful deal right here at NamePros has just been pushed. Hope the new owner enjoys it and that I can inspire you (or not ).

Keep making deals happen. My Best Regards to you all

I kind of think you got Hulka'ed on Splka. But no matter, you gotta start somewhere!

Don't sell yourself short. You will go far!

 

[Miguel Ferreira]

Congrats and Enjoy the great platform.

Thanks, You too

 

[Miguel Ferreira]

Congrats! One step at a time.

Thanks! It'll sound cheesy but "Rome wasn't built in one day", right?

I keep thinking 1 is better than 0. (Not just for the $$ but for every result) :D

 

[Miguel Ferreira]

You win some and you lose some... now get to winning!

True to that, that's my game plan :P

Probably it's not the last time I'll make mistakes but I'll be much more careful now, at least that

Thanks (there's a reference to remember )!!!

As you said, I need to start somewhere and I def. learned to value a bit more my portfolio and take care of it differently.

I won't. And I will try to go as far as possible, you can trust that! :D

Yes, In Auctions the start bid is reserve.

Thank you, you too!

To be honest, I wasn't worried about the reserve, I even "advertised" No reserve...

I just didn't know every bid was final in a 72 hour period after the final bid (if it isn't stated otherwise) and that I needed to end the auction even with just 1 Bid.... Totally my fault.

Plus, since it was a 5L dot com, I thought this was the right market to sell it to and never expected there was only going to be one bid.

You live and learn

Thanks . I'm refining my strategy and hopefully, with everything, I'll learn here I'll be able to be "more lucky" than have more losses

I just wanted to sell that domain and I know that domain is worthless (it is a typo)
so I posted here as a start 0$ and increment 1$..
and it went for 0...:D

Get the beers in.

Thanks, @Paul123. Believe it or not, I thought the domain was quite valuable like in the mid hundreds at least.

I was under the impression that my domain was a "killer" one and that I got lucky to have picked it up when it expired, especially because it was a 5L... LOL

I still have a long way to go I guess LOOL

Best Regards
