Premium domain for a reseller price.
Flycity/com
Bought : $2k(11/2017)
Sold: $17,500 (01/2018)
Net: $15,500

This domain did not list anywhere, but was contacted by Jake (godaddy’s broker) . I really love this domain, not really excited when sold for $17,500, but I think it is better than to wait infinite time for deep pocket buyer.

That is a very healthy and fast end-user sale, not reseller.
You should be happy with the result, it's quite substantial for a brandable, congrats!

 

[rentmynames]

Oh yeah! I was told by Jake (godaddy's broker) that the buyer was the original owner of Flycity. He had accidently let it dropped while on trip.

Great sale, no brainer, attached or not, you just ask easily could have lost it in a single bidding war, you stepped up to purchase it, and as rare as this instance is you should be happy it happend to you. No commissions either to boot, saved yourself another $2K, basically $20K deal.

If you are heart broken I am willing to sell FlyLand in King, and Fly dot Land combo, but congrats well done

If you were contacted by GoDaddy, you should have received the full $17,500... The buyer pays commission in these scenarios...

I speak from numerous experiences, and have never once paid commission when contacted by a GoDaddy broker.

I researched it. That particular coin failed. That's why I sold it. If the coin makes a comeback, then the domain might be a big winner. The .org is taken and was used by the dev.

Sale Date : January 26th 2018 (154 days after purchase)
Venue : Afternic - Buy it Now
Sale Price : $295

That domain was on Namejet the week before for $69 and did not find a bidder.

My first (excluding 4L.com) sale of 2018. A small one but I got the amount I was asking for so that's great.

This was my post when I bought it:

They may have left a good bit of money on the table especially if buyer had to buy it back at whatever cost

Apologies for the lack of depth on negotiation details, am tight on time at the moment.
Overall, I've reduced price-aggression during negotiations and have adjusted expectations downwards on 75% of my inventory. The cash flow matters more to me than the margin alone, especially on the hand-regs.

The .CO hand-regs portfolio operates as a numbers game - something that I've been testing on the side. I'm spending about $1.5k/month on expiring/deletes and it's making 2.5x on average. Not quite retirement money, but it provides contribution towards portfolio renewals in exchange for a reasonable time investment (1 to 1.5 hours per day). Over a six month average, it's approx $2k profit per month (after Sedo/Afternic fees but before tax) for 40 hours of work each month.

I'll continue to tweak both the buying and pricing strategies, but unless it improves, I'm not sure I will keep it going beyond another few months.

Many thanks to @Nikul Sanghvi for sharing the sale and that’s what keep all of us going forward in one way or another.

Thanks for the shout out @AbdulBasit.com - and congrats on the awesome sales!

Thanks for the shout out @AbdulBasit.com - and congrats on the awesome sales!

thats some amazing co sales
good strategy
was about to ask you how many .co you own
then you said its numbers again

couple questions plz:

can I ask for how long you've been using this strategy with co?

I suppose your .co folio increase by around 100-200 .co domains each month correct?

why is everything sedo? is that only place you list the co?

is your strategy makeoffer only on co.. or some bin too?

ty

You got it right with the .Co names... I own just 1

 

[Nikul Sanghvi]

can I ask for how long you've been using this strategy with co?

A little over six months now with this particular method.

I suppose your .co folio increase by around 100-200 .co domains each month correct?

Correct, it increases 150 per month. It's up to around 900 in total for this particular sub-portolfio. I'll expect to retain less than 10% when it's time for renewals.

why is everything sedo? is that only place you list the co?

is your strategy makeoffer only on co.. or some bin too?

I've only been listing on Sedo (Make Offer with Asking Price) and Afternic (BIN and Make Offer). I should be listing in more places and testing Efty landers... I have no excuse other than being lazy.
