.US domains.US domains
HR//ADVANTAGE dot COM

Bought it from NJ at 725 USD in 08/2017
Sold for 2,500 USD (inbound) using Escrow.com service in 01/2018

Very good price for buyer IMO. I almost don't post my sales on NP, I am still lacking many skills about domain business and need to learn a lot from other NP users here.

@Sinh

As you intimated in your comment above, your return on investment was not risk-adjusted enough for the $725 you spent here.

$725 is a lot of money to have tied up in one domain name.

When we pay that much for a domain name at wholesale price, we generally expect to receive at least a 10x markup at retail when we sell it to an end user.

We would not have priced this nor sold it for less than $7,500 to adjust for the risk taken on the $725.

It's clearly a domain name that is perfect for a corporate-oriented end user. Many buyers out there for it.

We would have put the name out there using BIN pricing at $7,500 and waited for the one buyer most interested in that brand name for their new or existing HR company to come along and happily pay that price for it.

In short, great buy; you could have done better with your ROI by pricing it higher.

He's one of greatest domainer in our region, @MediaCode.
For us, when we bought a name for 700$, we wanted to flip it at least 10x retail price.
But it's a different story with him. He knows when he has to release a name with a profitable price to re-invest in another greater names. In this case, he get $1775 in profit, then he can re-invest in at least 3 greater names.
One of the biggest headache for domainers is the number of inventory. Due to our expecting profit for a name, we have to wait for the right end-user, sometimes we ignore profitable offers. So the number of inventory is increasing by years.
With this man, he try to get more profitable as he could, then flip those profit into greater assets. Despite his low-number of domains, he is making more profit than other guys - who has hundreds or thoudsands names. That's the flexible strategy i'm learning from him.
The time you bought a name for 700$ then waiting for 7000$ offers, he can flips and re-invest at least 3-4 names, then flip them for at least 1k8 profit for each name. So totally, he earn 3x 1k8 = 5400 profit, once you still waiting for a 7000$ offer.
One of his stunning quote: "If you bought a great name, it would be sold".

CHAIN/FLY dot king sold for $1,995

Sold through Afternic, instant buy.

It was a hand reg about 2 years ago I think.

One of my favorite hand regs I must say, just has a nice ring to it and def a techie sounding name.

Me too....I think $3500 would have been fair for this name. Minimum acceptable offer would be $800. You sold it but, if the next one is in a similar format and in .com, don't go lower than high $xxx for the sale price...there will be many word+token icos in the near future.

via inbound inquiry to a domain flipping company
paid $17.17 at GD closeout earlier this month

Obviously they're gonna turn around and sell it for more, but I'm brand new, that was my first purchase and this is my first sale, and I needed/am grateful for the money :)

Maybe they sold it to an end user and the domain hasn't completely transferred yet. It's possible that HD sold it to the end user for $2000-$3000.

Interesting! It just looks like a cleaner, if unfinished, version of what was there before it expired. I'm definitely curious. Either way, it was all very fast. I grabbed it from closeouts on 3/3, was contacted on 3/8, and escrow just closed on the 26th.
