It took me 2 years but I got my first 5 figure sale :xf.grin: This was my 2017 goal. Better late than never.

Veralign in dot com

Sale price: $10,000
Purchased: Here on Namepros last year for around $35
Platform: Approached by Afternic Broker service on the behalf of the buyer. Initial offer was $1000.
Profit: $8955 after 10% commission and one renewal

Note: This domain was a BrandBucket reject, thankfully (y)

** I am sure it will turn out that I left a wad of money on the table, but hey, it is about hitting goals :) ***
Congrats, How did you get afternic to 10%?

AfterNic commission structure.

Sale price of domain >>> Commission fees
$0-$5,000 >>> 20% ($15 minimum)
$5,000-$25,000 >>> $1,000 +15% of amount over $5k
$25,000+ >>> $4,000 + 10% of amount over $25k

Maybe it's different when buyer uses Afternic Broker service.

Godaddy buy service would be 0%, as the buyer pays all.

hmmm... so if you don't have your domain listed and the Godaddy buy service people call you you pay 0 commission, but if you have it listed at bin , but the buyer makes an offer (not bin) through a Godaddy rep you pay the commission? just for clarification.

That's right.
When someone type your domain on GoDaddy search bar, if you don't list it, so they just see " This domain is taken". And if they want to try to buy it, they can use GD broker services, which cost them fee. And you - as a seller won't pay any fees for it.
But if you list your name on GD auctions or Afternic, when someone type your name, they can see it is for sale with the fixed-price. They just kick it and pay money, so you must pay commission fee, because it marks that you used their listing services to reach the offer.
I've sold my names in 2 ways like this, so 100% sure :xf.rolleyes:.

The afternic agent told me that the buyer and the seller both pay 10% commission. This is for the broker service.

I did have to pay any fees.

What's the use and purpose of sharing just the niche of sale when you can't disclose the domain name?

I sold a 5 figure name just this way last year in September. Zero commission. Either new winds are blowing are they selectively screwed you over.

Thanks :smug:. I have sold more Domains that i bought on Auctions than Hand-reg Domains.
There is no secret here. Just research very carefully before you decide to buy/hand-reg a name. That's it.
So sorry that i can't reveal all my completed offers here due to some factors.

COngrats on the sale

Domain industry: Waste
Sale venue: End User
Seller: Me
Asking price: $300
Sale price: $300
Purchase price: Reg Fee

Hi all, been a while since I closed a deal. Paypal very smooth transaction. Been a difficult couple months, lost my mom to lung cancer unexpectedly. I would always call her and tell her when I sold a domain. She couldnt believe that I could sell domains for hundreds or thousands of dollars. Everybody love your mom! So, trying to get back in the swing of things.
