Kword.com acquired more than 5 years back. GoDragonfly.com acquired almost 2 years ago. EastEight.com also almost 2 years back and U-6.com more than 5 years before. Altogether acquisition cost for these 4 domains was under $500.

All above sales happened via Afternic last month.

Domain name: FearOfMissingOut / com
Sale venue: Afternic
Sale type: BIN

Asking price: $8,337
Sale price: $8,337

Purchase price: $150
Purchased: Namepros
Hold time: 16 months

Really excited about this one. And not just because it was long 4 WORD domain. The more interesting part is that I purchased this name from a NP member a little over a year ago.

This sale is proof that you CAN find great deals here on the forum if you know how to find them. This isn’t the only domain I’ve made a healthy ROI from a NP purchase but definitely the highest yet.

No further details

Simplifire.com – Acquired last year and total cost was in $xx. Had put up BIN like I’ve set up on over 95% of my domains. Sold via Afternic BIN for $4,888 so nothing much to share in detail. But what I can is the ROI was fantastic. I love to buy such type of brandable domains.

Claira.com – Received inquiry via Uniregistry lander and I quoted $2,988. Got an offer of $1500. I responded with $2,800 as the minimum to be accepted. Buyer immediately accepted. I set up escrow at Sedo to use their service and see how it goes. Everything went smooth but the only issue with Sedo escrow is they don’t let you set up escrow by yourself. I need to submit the required detail and Sedo initiates transaction during business timings. That’s where they lack and need to give the right to any one to start transaction and they can look after once it’s started. Acquired this domain in 2014.

RedAccess.com – Another BIN sale via Afternic for $2888. Acquired this domain in 2014. With BIN sales, there isn’t much to share but in my opinion, any sale is something to learn from.

ChapterSix.com – Coincidentally this domain was also acquired in 2014. It looks like I’m making some sales for the domains I acquired in 2014
This domain originally had an asking price of $1,988. Got counter of $1,000. I countered with $1800 for a quick deal and was accepted.

Used Uniregistry checkout system and it worked great! They’ve improved their checkout system as in past sellers were forced to pay the PayPal/Credit Card fee of 3.88% and no option to select buyer to pay that fee. Now it shows both option for seller to opt who’ll pay the fee. Although the Service Fee of Uniregistry is paid by seller which is touch higher but with smooth and small deals I would prefer to use them instead of Escrow.com who asks you lot of stuff to verify your account. During that time, there are chances of buyers getting disappear.

BioFidelity.com – Received inquiry via Uniregistry lander and quoted $6,888. The buyer offered $2,000. After going back and forth with buyer several times, we settled for $2,200. I rarely go that low but since I needed to invest in other and better domains, I went ahead and took it. Deal was completed via Uniregistry checkout.

JhMiller.com – Acquired this domain last year with total cost in low 3 figs. Received inquiry via Uniregistry lander on behalf of their client along with an offer of $113 by mentioning “https://www.freevaluator.com/ and did a quick check for jhmiller.com and it returned $113.62.” While researching about their client, I found they own JhMiller.CO. Anyhow, I quoted the same listing price of $1,988.

It was real fun dealing with this buyer as he gave an offer of $113. In his next response, he revised offer on the automated valuation of another crappy site Estibot.com which according to him gave $1,200. But he was giving an additional $150 above that appraisal.

My excerpts from the next message “We don’t believe in any automated appraisals as none of them is trustworthy. I’m sure you’re aware of the biggest registrar in the world GoDaddy.com which appraises the domain for $1,781 – https://www.godaddy.com/domain-valu...eckAvail=1&tmskey=&domainToCheck=jhmiller.com

Even if it appraises double than that, it won’t affect our asking price as we don’t set our prices based on automated appraisals.

You may want to check weekly reported domain sales – http://www.dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm to get an idea about current domain market.

Since you operate designing company, I’m sure you understands very well about the value of quality domains.”

And there goes the most common silence we domainers face

After around a week later, I countered with $1,850 and gave 48 hours to accept. The buyer got back saying his client is willing to pay $1,750 which is final offer. I took it and deal completed via Uniregistry checkout.

On Feb 20, 2023 I sold the following name inbound BIN via Afternic FT.

The lander had been pointed at BrandPa, so this ended up my first sale with 25% Afternic commission. The name had been priced as suggested by BrandPa. I had tried a few price points, BIN and MO, and several different landers over the years.

Name was created by someone in 2017, but I acquired it a few years ago at NL auction. I have always liked it, and had it registered years in advance as a definite holder, but this was first query or price request over years I have held it.

I had thought of name as assistive living, home-based assistance, vehicle or home care, daycare, etc., but it seems from redirection use buyer is in legal sector, where name also works.

No further information, please.

Venue : Afternic ( sedo lander )
Price : 5.999 USD
Hold time: 2 years
Hand regged


This sale has a story behind it that is worth considering and is the main reason for reporting it.

Sedo notified me of the sale of the domain on January 13th, but I do not check the email registered with Sedo very often
It took me about a week to find out !
*Make sure your email address is the same across all platforms.

However, after paying the amount, the buyer retracted and asked for a refund from Sedo, and the sale was canceled.

It was my strong suspicion that the buyer's refund had nothing to do with the delay, as Sedo said!

The domain expires on February 2nd, so I thought that was the real reason.
The buyer thought why not register it at the lowest price if the domain drops?

So I renewed it and waited for a few days, so the buyer came back and bought it through Afternic.

*In the past, AbdulBasit Makrani advised . I think here on Namepros that domain registration for several years is very useful to motivate the buyer.
At that time, I agreed with AbdulBasit in his opinion, but I did not take it (stingy )

Please accept my apologies for the length of this post, but I wanted to clarify some points*.

Thanks

Buyer came in at $1 above the minimum which I accepted. Sedo Best Offer landers don't allow for counteroffers. This sale marks my first ever Sedo sale. My sales mostly come from Afternic and Dan.

I am still selling a few names every month, but haven't been able to update here. Will try to share more

Sold this last month

Got this in September 2021

Sold Via Afternic Lander

Had a BIN of 10K, and AN broker negotiated it and closed at 6K which I was happy to take.

2023 is slower than I anticipated, but 2022 was also slow and It was when I realized that this was an unpredictable business and made some changes in my approach.

I did around 150K in gross sales till June in 2022
This year, I have crossed 300K YTD, so I can't say i am not happy with the result.

My little side hustle is starting to pay off

I am hoping the rest of the year will be better for all of us..

Good luck to us all!!
