This one goes cheap. Sold LeapInc,com domain name for $1500.

$344 net profit, you paid to much in your bidding war, they bid you up, and dropped it on you at over $1K cost basis. Some of those bidders just never stop at DC, no matter what the cost.

I'm quite fond of INC, GROUP & CORP names. And probably why I didnt let it go during the bidding war. But, I definitely had quite a few endusers in mind while I was bidding on it and fortunately one of those endusers snapped it after some outbound efforts.

As long as one is profitable, (s)he is good and staying in business!

almost half a year. Picked it up from Dropcatch auctions for around $1k during an intense bidding war because I like INC domain names for some odd reason

All my names are on Make offer, however I had a minimum offer of $1000 on it and I did some outbound email marketing last month to few targeted buyers. The CTO of one of those targeted leads few days later made an offer of $1000 through undeveloped instead of responding to my email as I had directed them to the landing page for purchasing domain name for $2850.

Long story short, buyer negotiated with the undeveloped broker and came upto $1500 as his last best offer. I took it

It’s a good name, it was an aged drop, but you bring up a good point I think many of us are seeing in the aftermarkets even more so today. I know this is not the place to discuss this, but I feel it is relevant as domainers are paying the limit of end users as we saw recently with the fivenines.com purchase by a domainer for $36k, who outbid the end user at DC. Now this bidder domains420 has payment exclusivity at DC, unlike others who must submit payment within 4 days, as the last name they won jerryjackson.com has been unpaid since March 9th, and continues to remain unpaid.

For a CTO to open at $1k, that means that are they serious, but $1500 is kind of a sad negotiation, as DC made 3X more than you, and you put up 4 figures to acquire it, I would have liked to see this one go for at least $2500 so you could get a decent return.

I understand a return is a return, but if you buy to many 4 figure names to get $300 returns, your going to get stuck with enough dead inventory eventually, and burn out, but that is why you took this offer as you have to keep on moving.

It’s just a good example of how a decent name, when acquired at a higher level, doesn’t always return as it should when the cost factor is to high. Traditionally we have seen names like this close around $500-$600, but resellers are really stepping up, and end users sometimes are really not.

This is where you nailed it. Each and every sale is a learning curve!

We all make mistakes and I think I did too here by acquiring it over $1k. At the time of acquiring the domain name, I wasn't really prepared to go above $1k as the price was quite a stretch but than again went over because I knew I'd be able to profit "somewhat" if I am able to get it under $1k.

I should have held out for more, I'm well aware of that one.. but my current domain name selling situation is 100's of low ball, under $1000 offers but 0 sale over $1000 from last, almost half a year. I have had over 5 high four figures committed sales canceled in last 1 month and frustration is sky high. So i tried to get it through at whatever price over $1k to break that 6 month "jinx" streak, as well

i do own few io crypto names...but i try be very picky cause it adds up fast for io at 30$ a pop.. as for this one...well...coin and traders just isnt bad combo in crypto niche based on my researches and experience.. in the end our regs or buys will be just as good or as bad as our experience (time, research etc) in any domain niche under the sun...its that simple and that complex at same time imo. cheers

Sadly this is the reason I stay out of .IO expires. Every few days some really nice .IO domains expire but do I want to tie up a lot of money in .IO which I might end up dropping ?
