discuss Shortest Timeline from Reg to Sold

[The Domainiac]

I wanted to start a discussion on the fastest timeline from reg to sold that you have ever seen on a domain. It doesn't necessarily have to be your personal sale, but someone else's that you've seen recently.

I won a dropped domain at auction for $4,000 and sold it a month and a half later for $20,000.

I, at complete random, thought of a name (diyapparel/com) back when markets like Teespring started to come around and reg'd with a GD .99 coupon.

A few hours later I had an email from someone cursing at me saying that I was working with GoDaddy and scamming people by buying names they looked up, essentially every frontrunning accusation you could make without him knowing frontrunning was a term.

About 20 back and forth emails and by the end of the same day I received $1800 direct sale by paypal

Haven't come close to replicating anything like this ever since, but the circumstances were quite unbelievable.

It also to a degree made me stop questioning all of the times this has happened to me, which is several now. But it has happened enough times that I still have a little bit of a tin-foil hat on about frontrunning sometimes.

Edit: Also, for all of the hissy fit he threw, complaining, and money spent, the site never resolved to anything and was never used.

I dropped a name then it sold and i re-registered it, so my fastest sale is like -4 hours.

Awesome profit!

My fastest time was 4 months, achieved in 2023.

Congratulations. Just backs up the statement you need money to make money. Good job!

That is #4. Of what I've learned on Namepros. How exactly does this process work? Where do you go to see where the expired domain was sold and how are you allowed to buy this back and at what price?.I'.m not questioning that you did this, I'd just like to know what the process is, if you have the time. Thank you.

Congratulations. What does the term outbound asking price mean? Is that the buy it now prce?

When you let a name expire there is a grace period before it is deleted and available for others to register. I paid dynadot $100 to get it back.

That I understad but you can still get it back after a person purchases it but it hasn't been transferred yet or after a person wins the auction but the domain hasn't been transferred? yet?

Can you elaborate by what you mean by inbound in the context you are using? Thanks.

They purchased via Afternic.

i meant that he listed the domain on afternic and waited for the sale to come not willing to contact any potential end users.

I'm still confused but thanks for trying to explain.

Another pointless thread. It can be under 60 days with less than 1% odds of selling or over 60 days with 99% odd of selling, if it sells at all.. It's impossible to predict when a sale happens, depends on various factors. You can sell a domain the next day after registration, but your next sale might come 6 months later.

Look how cool this guy is, everybody.

No one was asking what CAN happen. So you see a thread meant to be fun and decide to knock it because it isn't "hustle-bro" enough for you?

I thought it was a fun interesting thread. What was pointless about it?

No problem, if you like mental masturbation. You sell domains at retail prices, not ice cream in a heatwave.
