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

You got confused as I did. Floor price different from reserve price.

On afternic you have
Buy now price.
Floor price (minimum that can be negotiated by brokers without your approval).
Reserve price (minimum you'll accept). Normally should be same as floor price.
Minimum offer price.

Example.
Buy now price 1000$.
Floor price 500$.
Reserve price 500$.
Minimum offer price 100$ (for the sake of countering).

@Federer If the buyer offers 600$ (above reserve), is it going to be accepted automatically?

 

[Federer]

No, the broker will do their best to sell the name as close to the BIN as possible. In worst-case, the domain will be sold at the offer received at/above reserve.

 

[treasure28]

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 ?

I contacted hand full of networking equipment liquidators.
What convinced them to buy? I guess because it perfectly suites their business activity
I got my leads from "contact us" page

That's right, but you can also set Floor, Reserve and Minimum Offer there for non-BIN domains. Hence was the question.

 

[cillx]

usell.eu - $450 (Afternic BIN)
mytransformation dot com - $3,500 (Afternic, negotiated)
softpower dot xyz - €110 (Undeveloped, negotiated)

That was my first .XYZ sale (purchased 2350 only yesterday at $0.99)

Congratulations on your sales. If you don't mind how many .com s you hold and what is the selling rate of .coms? thanks

 

[Federer]

Around 3,000. Selling rate is private.

Paid $114 on October 28, 2018 at DropCatch.
Sold for $5,000 on December 14, 2018 via Uniregistry Market broker.
Buyer upgrading from much longer domain name with 'technologies' at the end.
A great blockchain brandable name -- we most likely could have held it longer and sold it for 2x or 3x. But, "a bird in hand is worth two in the bush" with only 1.5 month hold time. Will use proceeds to invest in higher quality names.

 

[Federer]

Great sale. It had a "make offer" lander?

Great sale. It had a "make offer" lander?

It did, but they did not use it. They contacted the Uniregistry Market broker directly on November 5, 2018, only a few days after we bought it. They must have been watching it but didn't know about the drop or how to acquire it on the drop.

Domain : Calgary\Office\rentals dot com

Buyer is OK with not being able to transfer for 2 weeks? Namebright is a pain with the 60 day lock.

 

[Innoverge]

It did, but they did not use it. They contacted the Uniregistry Market broker directly on November 5, 2018, only a few days after we bought it. They must have been watching it but didn't know about the drop or how to acquire it on the drop.

Does that mean you didn't pay a Uniregistry broker commission, since it was the buyer who opted for it or did you have brokerage enabled for your a/c too?

You bought it or reg fee?

Hand reg in Apr 2015. I own around 200 "local" domains and another 450 "near me" names.

We did a push at NameBright, no problems.

 

[MediaCode]

Does that mean you didn't pay a Uniregistry broker commission, since it was the buyer who opted for it or did you have brokerage enabled for your a/c too?

We paid a Uni broker commission because the buyer contacted Uni directly, not us, even though we self broker on Uni for the most part.

 

[platey]

Uni would charge its 15% to seller and GD would charge buyer an extra fee of 20% on top of fixed $69.99 ($49.99 for Discount Club) to engage their brokers regardless of outcome.

Due to the quality of the domain name buyer got a bargain even if they had to pay 35% fees

It's a win win for all parties I'd have thought
