good job
jc was it auction or bin on np?

Must have been requests thread. Auctions never reach such prices on NP.

 

[rentmynames]

$800 for shooting.net is dirt cheap.

 

[BuyBrandWeb.com]

$800 for shooting.net is dirt cheap.

I was negotiating with seller for almost 3 months and initial asking price was 2k. I have offered an instant paypal payment. Might be risky to send 800 usd directly but worth of it!

**** I stand corrected. After reviewing some info, I now realize that the name was a hand reg and not a buy here on NP.

Domain: aboat.me hand reg from godaddy in Oct . 2017 for 3.6$
Venue: domainagents.com
Price: $310 (inbound make offer)
Net after commissions: $290
Owned the domain for approx. 9 months

The story: domainagents.com is a platform I'd never heard of until I got their email, saying a buyer wanted to buy my domain. Then I signed up their site and signed in, finding that an initial offer of 200$ had been there made. Then I countered 2200$,then a day later, the buyer canceled the negotiation, saying the price was too steep and that he was a student starting a side project. Then I opened the negotiation again starting with 310$, then a week after, buyer accepted it. The trade was processed via escrow.com, buyer paid the fee. But the wire transfer to my bank cost 20$.

In hindsight: I think there is some money left on the table. I should've have made a new offer of 1K or sth. Then maybe the buyer would counter 0.5K or higher. Rich students are everywhere. Anyway, being my first inbound make offer sale, some negotiation skills or experience may be wanted there. And I should've been more patient. However, given the fact that the buyer first paid a 19.9$ to get a domainagents credit to start negotiation and the escrow fee was on his side and the nice surprise I received when the first email came in , I should be "more or less" satisfied. After all, 290$ is still something.

saying the price was too steep and that he was a student starting a side project. .

never ever someone will tell you
they want to earn money with the domain
most are students or father buying for a little girls school project

those information are a lie
or at least irrelevant
as it has nothing to do with the value of a domain

As some of us will refer to "other" non existing offer, when we want to push a prospect

Exactly. Or "I discussed it with my partner"

Finally got around to posting this one. It's from a while back but is my biggest so far and a few lessons learnt. Was worried about disclosing but realise now with a little more expeirince that it didn't matter.

Domain name: S.E.C.D.O. com

Sale venue: GoDaddy Domain Buy Service : Inbound

Asking price: $20,000
Sale price: $9,500
Purchase venue: Hand Reg
Purchase price: $4 (With GD discount coupon)

So a few things;

Registered the domain back in 2015 along with a handful of other short, prouncable brandables. Got an inital email of interest from the CTO of a company of the same name in June 2015, 3 months after purchase.

Being very new to domaining and a member of NP I tried to figure out what to do, decided on hiring a broker because I felt with their experience I would recieve a better outcome finincially even when brokerage fees were taken into account.

I emailed Adam Dicker, remember this was mid 2015! Put intouch with his lead broker who after a back and forth decided that the bottom price should be $4000 and to start negotiations at $7500.

After about 2 weeks I had received no contact from the broker, was not CC'd into any of the emails. The CTO contacted me personally once again and explained that she was not responding to his emails either. From this point I would deal with negotations myself. He stated it was a small startup and and felt they could stretch to $1500.

Negotiations went back and forward over a few months, the maximum from their end seemed to be $2500 but eventually I succumbed and mentioned that to stop wasting each others time then the minimum I would be interested in selling would be $10,000. I wanted to gauge their reaction. They agreed to the $10,000 and asked to proceed!

I came back that I had other offers and that the final price had to be closer to $18,000. Pure greed on my part after I realised I had shown my hand amd left money on the table. I should have been happy with the ROI and proceeded but heard nothing back from them for over a year after that email.

Eventually a broker from GD contacted me, initial offer $2500, I countered with $20,000 believing that they were the original interested party and that eventually the $10,000 figure or thereabouts would be reached. It took about 3 weeks and money in the bank December 2016.

Just 3 days after I agreed the final figure I googled them again and found that in the morning they had received a round of funding in the +$5,000,000 range

Sorry for the long post, should have made it a blog! I just thought it would be interesting for others to analyse a little background and try to learn from my mistakes.

@mjamescork And as of April 2018 they have been acquired by Palo Alto Networks and their crappy brand name will likely be retired. Likewise, the domain name will likely be abandoned and dropped within two years. You'll be able to catch it and sell it somebody else again!

Yeah, I've always kept one eye on them out of curiosity, interesting seeing how your former domains develop over time.

Out of interest to anyone that cares, their original domain was S/E/C . D/O ...which is still active, they obviously believed in the benefit of owning the king.

But yeah, I'll wait till it drops and sell it to another end-user...won't take me 2 years next time!
