Congrats! you are killing!!

Are most of your sales through Efty?

Thank you. Yep, around 90% of sales through Efty.

Nice Sales. Efty seems to be working quite well for you. Did you have these on BIN or Make Offer?

Cheers. I have a price displayed, with MakeOffer and BIN both enabled... but every sale I've made on Efty has been negotiated via email (Make Offer) rather than using the Escrow BIN button.

Can you share if you do any marketing for your names to promote them? Social media etc?

At the moment, I don't do social promotion or outbound marketing. There are some very rare occasions where I'll try outbound, but it's surgical: I'll message one or two end-users where I know the domain is a solid fit.

congrats, i was looking out for your post.

I have a question. being that these names you have sold are made up words, how did you know they would sell? what metrics guided you and assured you that you made a right decision by investing in these names as well as others that you have sold? I ask because some domainers say "You make money on the buy"

Very nice sales, given the scope and the variation of the domains, and extensions you would have to own a massive portfolio to make such sales, how large is your portfolio if you don't mind me asking?

 

[TrueDN]

your portfolio size?

Around 400.

are these inbound BIN sales?

Inbound or outbound?

All inbound.
Thx.

Thank you. Don't want to take this thread off topic but you can find more info on the posts below:

My primary metric is number of TLDs registered:

I found this metric of ‘TLDs Reg’ to be a north-star metric. In the absence of any other data, it reflected the sale-potential better than any alternate metric. It fits in this context, because I was not focusing on any other specific aspects of the domain - such as keyword volumes, ppc competition or age. The filter simply looked for domains that were taken in many of the other most popular extensions.

Other things I look for in a .co domain:

An extended research process is also documented here:

Very nice sales, given the scope and the variation of the domains, and extensions you would have to own a massive portfolio to make such sales, how large is your portfolio if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you - it's around 1400 domains at the moment but will be below 1k in the next couple of months.

Just sold a few:
altamar.eu - €699 (CSC email, negotiated)
team-konzept.com - $1,750 (afternic, negotiated)
edge-consulting.de - €200 (inbound, via Undeveloped)
solar-heating.de - €100 (inbound, via Undeveloped)
yumi.co.uk - €400 (inbound, via Undeveloped)
techclub.co - pending $1,000 sale (afternic)
roomsforrent.co - €100 (inbound, via Undeveloped)

 

[Federer]

Team-Konzept.com - $2490

Thought this had sold for $1750 - but Broker managed to counter/get a final sales price of $2490. Funds received @ Afternic.
They really do have an excellent team of brokers; you just need to price them smartly with good floor prices as safety nets.

 

[tvanrijt]

Domain: BlockIT.io
Venue: Afternic
Asking price: $488
Sale price: $488
Aquisition cost: $25 (regged)
Net profit: $390 net from afternic - 25 = $365

I regged the donain on 22 nov and sold it through BIN on 2 dec. sale is completed today.

Good quick flip. No idea if the buyer saw Block IT or “Block it”.

Seems like a well researched and executed outbound sale.

What industry or group of professionals did you target ? Where did you find the leads ?
What convinced them to buy ?

[golan]

you just need to price them smartly with good floor prices as safety nets.

But do you have BIN's there, of make offer with floor?

Also, was this domain parked at Afternic?

Thank you

 

[Federer]

Yes, the domain was pointing to Afternic's sales landers. All my .COMs there have BIN prices and floor prices, mostly with min. $500 "make offer".
