Looks like the domain has been re-listed with a $150k BIN

Yes it was bought by a domain investor I knew that he looking for big money.

Congrats. I saw it on DAN and remembered our conversation. Did it still have the same amount of traffic as it did initially?

It has maintained all stats

My first sale with SH
Handreg + one renewal
Sale price $2499 ($1749 after commission)
The buyer offered $1800 but eventually hit BIN
Show attachment 165335

Congratulations! I'm hoping to strike my first sale via SH also.

 

[ivey]

Oh Man. Congrats.
Did a quick search and looks like a very thoughtful hand reg. Good Job

I doubt if it would have sold for a $20 bin on Namepros.

That's why you can't really value a name based on how it's received on namepros.
Take what's good and do your own research and follow your guts.

Thanks buddy... luckily for me this was not a typo in price..... obviously nobody today expect to sell an info handreg for this kind of money despite many quality info expiring...but sometimes unexpected sales do happen in domaining ..it's just that usually they are dot-com... cheers

This morning I had a "feel good" sale. Bought the domain last July here on NP for $55. This morning, I received a direct offer email from a very polite gentleman for $250.

I thought about it for a minute and was just about to email back a counter when I thought, it's a .org. I deleted my email countering his offer and instead typed "I accept". My thought was that the gentleman was so nice, could be a good cause.

I emailed him the link to the Make Offer page at Afternic and told him to submit his offer that way and that I would accept. He immediately did and I accepted. Within an hour, I saw that he paid and received an email from Afternic saying they were verifying funds. Minutes later, they confirmed the funds and instructed me to push the domain to their holding account at NameSilo. Done.

I had no personal pressure to sell it, but somehow I felt good. I made a small profit and perhaps helped a good cause. It might end up back up for sale, but at $250 for a 4L .org, it wouldn't matter to me.

org sales always make me happy. Also I think people default search for cvcv.org in the expired stream because I got a couple nice LLLL few weeks back.

Reporting my first .co & .me sales..

I registered about 50 .me dictionary domains in October last year during a promo. A few plurals, a few past tense and I tried many which could be a phrase..

In July, I received an unexpected inbound £100 offer for G/L/A/Z/E/D.me via DAN which I accepted without negotiation because I was happy to have my first .me sale. I think the promo was £0.20 for each..

I also have been of dictionary and name .co domains. I received a £100 offer for M/A/H/M/O/U/D.co last week via DAN. I held for 9 months and a bit..

I countered £777 but the buyer was not going much higher than their offer & we settled for £133. It was expiring soon and I considered others in my portfolio which I wanted to renew, so I’ll use this for renewal fees. Also wanted to sell my first .co domain. I paid about £3 for it during a promo..

Domain: Basilisk(.)net
Price: $1k
Venue: Dan.com Make offer
Acquisition cost: $10 closeout+2 renewals
Investment reasoning:

Basilisk: In European bestiaries and legends, a basilisk (/ˈbæsɪlɪsk/ or /ˈbæzɪlɪsk/) is a legendary reptile reputed to be a serpent king, who can cause death with a single glance.

.COM developed with same page for years...doesn't look like it's going anywhere. .NET is a historically strong and also underrated alternative for short one word domains.

Please don't post the domain with . only with (.). No further details. Thanks.

$500 via Dan make offer

Hold time: 8 months (drop)

I actually discussed with the buyer in April, but he said to wait until things clear up with the pandemic (original quote was 1K). Now we negotiated (cash tight he said) and I let it go for $500 with no hard feelings.

The // Catskills // dot // com
I inquired about this domain a few times, seller didn't want to sell then lets it expire and go to auction where I later had to send screenshots of receipts because registrar claimed it was stolen. Will miss this one as I called it home for so many years, don't see myself moving back/developing since my daughter is here in Florida and I have yet to revive catskills.us The new owner has been calling me for years, even tried trading me 1-800 numbers lol
sold: 1,600 inbound
bought at snapnames for 500 in 2012

Venue: Afternic
November 2019 hand reg

Name was pending sale for a few days but went back to being listed. I thought the buyer's no longer interested! Very surprised and happy that it sold.

Sold D/R/A/T/A in King on SH for $6,899 Acquired a few years ago
I really needed that sale as my sales the past 20 months were so soft because of 1 very silly mistake I had. I used to renew my names around 2-3 weeks prior to expiry and I just learnt that that would put them out of the Afternic Fast Transfer network. With that in place, I realized that literally almost all my 1,800 names out of the fast transfer network for almost 2 years!
My sales were really soft. I didn't give this much attention as I was very focused on my full time job.
i learnt a very big lesson here. I renewed all my names upfront now and I believe now that 90% of my names are in the network and more to come.

I put a lot of names on SH and also finalizing my own brandable marketplace (Brandzo.com), which should be up within a few weeks. Would appreciate feedback for that one. I would use it as a test for a few months with some SEO for my other names that aren't on SH.

I have tried all brandable marketplaces and I believe that SH is doing a relatively strong effort to satisfy its partners and customers. Have my own reservations on the count of names but overall i am bullish that they will continue to succeed.

Again, very happy to have a decent sale at the last few days of a dry summer sales season

Enjoy!

So putting all names on afternic bin network is so big and important that it makes all the difference between making it or breaking it? I wonder for how many domainers this is true...
