Happy to report my first sale ever. I bought a bunch of domains as I got into domaining but then got lazy and didn't list them anywhere. I only listed most of them on Afternic like a month back, and got a sale within a week of listing them.

The sold domain was:

personalinjuryattorneydallas in king.

It was sold through Afternic fast transfer for $275, and after Afternic commission, I received $220. Apparently, a reseller bought it.

The price might seem too low but I paid less than $15 for it and didn't think it will sell. It's important to note that although the ROI might still seem great on it as I only held it for about 6 months or so, but I'm still well in the red given my overall portfolio cost.

Not a reseller. resellers have many many options under $25 for geo domains. Your priced is right however for a certain sale.

Congratulations on your start of journey.

Outbound, Landing Pages or Marketplace?

A chilled cocktail of the 3 key marketplaces I like to use: Sedo, Afternic & Undeveloped.

More proof that hyphenated domains can sell for nice money.

More proof that hyphenated domains can sell for nice money.

Common misconception it’s a numbers game, along with keyword experience. 99% of others who play in such a market would constantly lose.

A few more of my very recent "hand-registered/dropped domains" (inbound/passive) sales:

techsell.co.uk - £300
daaz.org - €200
homeselection.co.uk - £500
brandsgroup.co.uk - £199
heartclinic.net - $250
aqua-style.de - €450
callforce.co.uk - £300
e-parking.co.uk - £850
kitchensupplies.net (pending sale).

All Sold via Sedo/Undeveloped landing pages.

They all count and add up fast - especially when the acquisition costs remain reasonably low. Key is quantity and at least "average" quality.

You need to have both for the model to work.

BINs or Make Offers?

 

[NYJimbo]

Perhaps the other 99% would fail, but it still shows hyphens can work.

You have to understand this seller is one of a kind, and very skilled at his trade going back. As well a numbers game, not just a 500 domain portfolio.

 

[Federer]

Most of those sales (as with 90% of my sales listings) had BINs with a "make offer" link.

With that type of model/sales page, you can capture the vast majority of the types of end buyers (buyers with little time/patience, buyers with budgets that meet your BIN, buyers with lower budgets, buyers that know little about domain prices/value etc.).

Having a "make offer" link, included with clearly-indicated BIN prices on attractive pages with no ads will move more inventory than any other method under the sun. If you need a rep @ Sedo to remove the ads on your parked pages (ex.www.e-Chat.co.uk), send me a PM and I'll message you the rep.

It goes without saying that you should leave the top-tier names (minority of the domains of most portfolios) with "make offer" for more-than-obvious reasons.

i believe anyone can link directly to a sedo for sale page like so:

https://sedo.com/search/details/?domain={DOMAIN_NAME}&tracked=&partnerid=&language=us

replace {domain_name} with your name

however keep in mind that sedo is setup in such a way that if u keep both bin and makeoffer like Federer suggests.. buyer cannot click buynow to purchase instantly, but rather he can just enter the bin price amount equivalent.. which is then still submitted for your consideration

More proof that hyphenated domains can sell for nice money.

this is not true. and it is a mix of experience, team work, and large portofolio for him.

99% of domainers will not achieve similar sale results as he does, neither in hyphen domains nor in non hyphen domains.

If you have a BIN listed on the domain, a buyer can click on that BIN button and checkout - even with the "make offer" option next to the BIN (activated from within your account settings).

Ok, but if I thought of "e-parking" and he thought of "e-parking", it would not work for me but it will for him ? I'm not picking on him or questioning his skills, but if you reg'd that domain and put it on sedo/afternic/undeveloped it would not matter who you are. Unless you are doing clever outbound or crafty landing pages, a domain is a domain, no matter who registers it.

hmmm.. I am in north america.. and can assure you that it is not so here.. however, if you are in europe.. maybe it works differently. I do know bin+makeoffer on same page is a beta thing they told me.. did not have it before..
and I know for fact that here, if I setup domain with both bin and makeoffer.. there is no bin button anywhere.. all buyer can do is enter bin price.. to let you know he is willing to pay it.. then you still can decline or accept.. which of course defies purpose of a bin.. if you still get option to decline or ask for more.

wouldn't be the first stupid thing sedo does.. especially of late.
