Sometimes deals are right in front of your face

[Spade]

I was scanning through domain sales (I like to do that) when I noticed the other day, someone took advantage of some deals on Afternic. I've listed them below:

The following list of domains were purchased for $99 each on Afternic:

lwhy.com
sc0.com
qa0.com
roqq.com
lu0.com
gb0.com
madk.com
uour.com
fi0.com
hiph.com

Several of these names are CCC.com's with values well over $250 and these LLLL.com's are clearly worth more than that as well. I definetly wish I coulve jumped on the uour.com and hiph.com (not to mention the ccc.coms).

Moral of the story? Sometimes it pays to dig around some of the larger auction houses....

i picked up cheatcodes.co.in for $3 here at NP. In 5 years, won't that be worth a pretty penny!

I agree that they're out there, IMHO ... one (among a good few for me in 2007) case in point; from NameClerk's available lists I picked up CareerHosting.com for Reg. fee (note to self, send some additional NP$'s to NameClerk!), and just recently completed a nice private transaction for a smooth, healthy $Xxx - and the folks I dealt with were super super nice! And, they've since set up their new site! :gl: :talk:

Deals and potential deals are out there, friends ... you just have to have a keen eye and be, as always, selective IMHO.
Thanks for the post, Justin! :music:

omg, those ccc.coms were a real steal. i don't understand why people sell 2x below the market value???

I have gone through Afternic lists many times, but all names I chose had incredibly high reserves

Sometimes its all about digging around and waiting till the right time. Congrats to the buyer on those domains, he did well!

They get desperate for cash.
I like desperate sellers

It's not just at these Domain Sales monoliths that bargains are right in front of your face. I don't normally register many domain names from scratch. I usually buy them in the aftermarket. However, I think I've had a rich vein of new registrations in the last couple of months. Some nice looking names. I've been inspired by reading threads here on NP and elsewhere. Just the other day I was reading the thread about domaining using credit cards. I thought hmm.... I wonder if that domain was available. When I checked, the singular was taken but the plural was free. The plural was better imho. Regged it. It's getting approx 11 visitors a day, 1 or 2 clicks a day at $2.50 a pop. Nice, since it only cost me $5.99 at Name.com

I have had a bit of luck on tdnam picking up two 4L .coms for $10 each (two mos ago). Both were great deals imo, one is a vvcc and the other a semi premium pronounceable. I agree there are some deals to be found even here on np with good timing and lots of digging.

I purchased several VCVC.com domains on TDNAM in the $5 BIN section about 6-7 months back - so far, seem like solid investments =)

fi0 sc0 and aq0 is mine now...(and 3char other bought by my friend )
Before buying i contacted the seller to make private sale, but he answered that he was under contract with afternic and could not sell the name out of afternic..(imagine he received 99-60 usd after escrow fee)

 

[sibaong]

$99.00 + 3.96 (tx fee) = $102.96 :red:

is this price mistake on seller's part?

Could be, or didnt update with the market....

 

[h3rm4w4n]

seller know the market, other similar domain for sale at current/more higher than market value. something happens about business deal, as I said that seller could only can sell with afternic..

 

[GreenGambler]

Good find Spade. Wow, those are some steals on the buyers part. Nice.

Thanks for posting that, Rep added

I think this should teach us all to keep a better eye on the aftermarkets and forum sales threads..

Justin - I think what this guy is saying is that the domains didn't really sell for that much - but only "sold" at afternic for that much to lower the commission? At least that was my best guess... although then why not through a pure "whois" sale?

Hard to believe the previous owner (At least one a domainer from a quick search) didn't know the value of the names...
