Was it make offer or BIN with installments if you don't mind me asking?

 

[synecdoche]

Name: (see above)
Sale Price: $1995
Sale Venue: SEDO
Cost Price: $15
Hold Time: ~30 days

This has an interesting story which deserves a post. Open to feedback on whether if there is a better way to handle this situation.

Domain was listed for BIN at $1995 at DAN and Afternic, and Make Offer on Sedo. Buyer contacted me on Sedo with initial offer for $1000. I countered with $1995 as he could have bought for same price on DAN and Afternic. Apparently, the Sedo offer made by me was "binding" for seven days and I was "obligated" to deliver the domain if buyer accepted the counter. So to be on the safer side, I switched DAN and Afternic to Make Offer. Same night, I received a $2500 opening offer on DAN. I immediately knew that I had under-priced this one. I tried contacting Sedo on email (they have no live chat) on whether it was binding on me to deliver this domain, and it was under offer at another marketplace. After 24 hours, I got a pretty vague response with no clear direction. I was too tired to figure it out further. I messaged the buyer on DAN asking him if he had placed an offer on SEDO, and asked him to just accept my counter there. Buyer obliged and saved himself some dollars.

I have since converted all my Sedo names to BIN as well. I had observed a good uptick in offers while they were on Make Offer, but this process is too complicated to manage. So, all BINs on SEDO for now.

And finally, buyer refused push to Godaddy, so additional 30 day wait for the domain get out of the 60-day lock and be transferred out.

Fun experience. Buyer got a great deal. I got a great ROI. Reinvest, and repeat.

Domain:XWANG(.)com
Venue: Ename broker inquiry/Escrow.com
Price:$3k

Special thanks to my good friend @AbdulBasit.com for advising me on how to deal with this type of inquiry.

What lander did u use? Did the offer come from them?

 

[DrJacoby]

Domain: Space // - // Capital .[com]
Sale price : $999
Sale venue: Afternic Fast Transfer network
Cost: $8.47 hand reg. + one renewal
Hold time: Almost two years

No outbound.

Even though it's hyphenated, I believe I undersold this domain name. Space industry is hot, and the financial sector is loaded with money. I guess I need to do a better job repricing my portfolio. Lesson learned, but still happy for the sale.

 

[DnFolk]

Hand regged in 2016 via golden fasthosts 1 pound promo (good old days)
Plus some transfers/renewals
Till it sold for 2495 in jan this year (2021) via brandbucket
Yes i was new and crazy enough to set reward of 200 for logo despite their 30% commission.

Dan Lander. They contacted me via email.

I sold burn / in .com for $10,000 USD via Sedo, I spent $500 USD to acquire this domain about 15 years ago and still don't know what it means (anyone can explain the real meaning of this word please?), thanks Namedroppers.com which made me decide to buy it in 2005 and dotDB lets me know how many potential end-users the keyword does have, this is very helpful for me on pricing accordingly.

Burn :- to damage or destroy something with fire.

It could be anything.
Burnin' = a shortened, informal "slang" way of saying "burning" (occasionally used in the titles of pop songs/reggae/country music).
There's a popular annual festival in the U.S. called Burning Man.
It appears to be the alternate name for a Japanese comic/manga character named Moe Kamiji.
I could see it functioning as a brand for a recreational smoking/smoking supplies brand.
Lastly, it's a typo of Burning, which is parked, and someone may have wanted it for that reason.

While some of the other suggestions have merit, my money (for the best meaning of 'burn // in') relates to burning in a computer. I've done it hundreds of times. Here's a decent definition from pcmag.com:
"To test a new electronic system by running it for some length of time. Although electronics can give out at any time, weak components often fail within the first few hours of use. For example, when a computer is built to order, it is often turned on and allowed to run for several hours before being released to the customer."

Essentially it's stress-testing a new build, and there are programs especially for it.
