sales Sold AutonomousRetail .com for $25000 a 2 years hand reg

[Joseph CA]

The domain was dropped in 2019 and I had it registered within hours.

Was contacted by a Godaddy broker.
I did a little research and found that the .tech and .org version was recently registered by MarkMonitor on behalf of Amazon

I offered the domain for $75k
Buyer offered $15k
A little back and forth…
We agreed on $25,000
Transaction completed.

Buyer is Amazon.

I thought buyers such as Amazon, Google, & FB never counter your asking price but pay whatever you requested. ))

Lol. Few years ago I sold a domain name for 5k after weeks of negotiation with an agent only to find out months later that the buyer was Google. I learned from that.

Automated- stuff getting popular, because either we will become robots, or we won't be needed.
Aliens coming for vacation, and some cleaning had to be done.

Nice job! Most people would have taken the $15k without countering. Nice to see some fundamentals lol. Nice sale.

I would take $ 15000 for a two year hand reg. Maybe you are rich and don't need the money. I do. Couldn't give a rat's arse who the buyer is. Money is money.

What did you learn?

I usually got Godaddy broker came in with smaller amount of offer, after I countered with my price, they rejected and it's getting silent. ...

All depends what you need the money for and how urgent it is. If you need to buy a $ 10000 work delivery truck and somebody offers you $ 10000 for your domain then you sell the domain name and buy the truck. I think most people on the forum need the money but a few are rich and can wait for " the right offer " whatever that is.

Turnover is always important even for moral.

Congratulations! great sale for two year old hand reg. Btw, if the buyer is that bezos company, they could have easily blinked $75k but still superb sale...
Besides,
Thanks a lot for sharing all the knowledge and writing about your other domains.
All the best for your Autonomous projects/domains

They don't come directly to you.They use middlemen most times to buy domains because they know the effect it will have on the prices if you find out that it's them buying the domain name.

I went down to 50k but buyer sticked at 15k
Buy stated that 15k was there maximum.
Broker suggest to take the 15K since the buyer is ‘growing a cold feet’ and may back out. I reply to the broker with a condition to the buyer: $25k final and if the transaction is not completed with 48 hours, to please close the inquiry to save everyone the time.
The broker came back with good news… lol

May I ask your commission costs?

 

[Joseph CA]

May I ask your commission costs?

I’m allergic to commissions so generally I self negotiate and make the buyers pay for the commission/fees.

 

[Joseph CA]

Also I prefer Uniregistry because you can always get back to your buyer and if self negotiate you pay no commission. Unlike Sedo which I have stopped using because you can’t get detailed info about the buyer plus commission is high with a minimum of 15%

Great flip @Joseph CA
