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.

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.

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?

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.

thanks for info
appreciate it

may I lastly ask how you'd rate yhour .co sales % from sedo vs afternic roughly?

No worries - it's 6 sales on Sedo for every 1 sale on Afternic so far, but I don't have fast-transfer at the moment.

It might also be to do with pricing. I've been pricing a lot of the handregs at $3k to $5k (asking price). I think I'd do a lot better in the registration path (Afternic) if I priced more of them as sub-$3k.

I unfortunately don't speak spanish. I guess to us non-spanish-speaking people, it means something.

La is the in French and makes plenty of sense.

there are several websites with mylifechurch....com, net, .org, .co.uk, .us...etc. ie, competition for the name is high, I thought somebody will buy the name from me, as mylife.church is better than mylifechurch/com..net....co.uk...etc. (I believe).

I have approx 6000+ names now.

OMG ! It's really a big number , you must have more patience to handle it

I own only less than 100 domains in different registrar and some times i even forget to renew that and pay extra for renewal fees.

You are very professional IMO ...

Thank's for your reply @kerala & wish many more sales come to you.

thanks..

no hidden tricks or additional work to sell my names. I own 3500+ .xyz names. I changed dns of the names to undeveloped.com, also listed the names to afternic. Nowadays, most sales are from Afternic BIN.

You can always visit a members profile page and look at their postings. I love looking at @kerala 's page because the sales are so steady!
