discuss Thoughts on partial sales reports

[AbdulBasit.com]

Hello everyone,

Just had my first big sale in my domaining journey! Wanted to share it with everyone here on NP

It was a domain I had purchased for $15 when I was waiting at the bar at some birthday party.
The funny part is that it was a typo... and I hadn't realized that until I clicked purchase and checked out on Godaddy. So I told the bartender to make my drink a double since I had just wasted $15 for a bad domain.

But... after further research, it turns out that multiple companies are using the exact same name (very minor variations) so I naturally got excited and listed it on Godaddy as make an offer.

Got my first offer for $20 and thought this is all it could be worth... but I decided to counter with $2000.

A couple of hours later, the $1000 offer comes in

And that's how I made my first $1000!

Thank you to everyone here on NP for the advice and the unlimited well of knowledge. I will keep learning from minds like you and hopefully make more sales $!

Though I love reading domain sales no matter what the amount is but this is yet another waste of time thread by not sharing the domain and wasting time of others. No doubts you didn't had sale but not sharing the name is useless to share any other detail IMO.

What are we supposed to discuss when you haven't disclosed the name?

Completely agree!

Another nonsensical thread. Waste of time.
There should be some rule in place to report the domain, else don't bother reporting. I would be interested to know from such people to give just one logical reason behind sharing the amount and niche which will be really helpful. Suppose if this OP says niche, then who doesn't know IOT? Is this something really no one was aware of?

This is not only waste of time but making people not to bother checking such sales thread in future if such trend keeps on going.

I request MODS/Admin(s) of NamePros to make some necessary changes to rules. Or at least start a poll to see what others are looking for.

What is there to discuss? He sold an IOT related domain name for $30,000. Good news all round. It also makes sense not to disclose the buyer on a public forum. Nothing wrong with that.

Perhaps there is a non-disclosure agreement. I could see this on such a large purchase.

While I somewhat agree with what abdul is saying, we shouldn't shun everyone who reports large sales. There would be much less reported acquisitions otherwise.

I feel the OP here has provided enough proof that the sale actually happened. Why badger him for reporting? Is someone butt-hurt?

And what are we discussing exactly when we don’t know the IOT name? He started a “discuss” thread with no info to discuss. If there is an NDA he shouldn’t be talking about it at all. These pat me on the back but I am not disclosing the name threads are occurring every other day here. No info? Keep it to yourself. It offers nothing to the community.

It's not about asking proof or no one is blaming the sale is fake. The thing is it just doesn't help anyone in any way IMO.

That's called nonsense and time waste of others.

I like these posts, disclosure or not. If it pisses you off so much, you could, you know, decide to ignore them.

That is what i do with threads that don't interest me. I just don't read them. It's kind of a crazy concept, but i just don't read them, and i don't complain about them.

You shouldn’t concern yourself with my opinion then. The majority of people here want info and actual sold names and not someone merely looking for pats on the back.

 

[Magicpig2]

Why is it that when someone posts an incredible sale (see Hatred.com) , there will be people on here who would rather complain than celebrate? I have a few IOT related domains and it benefits me to know what kind of prices they could fetch within this niche. It's the posters thread and he can add or withhold whichever information he chooses. Move on if you don't like it.

Then don't read the post... you think that your discourse is agreed by all, but it's not.

I understand the fact that you don't like these posts. I find some posts that i don't like as well.

Would you care to hazard a guess as to what i do when i encounter a post that i don't like?

Do i bitch and whine and declare that everyone should share my opinion?

No. I move on and find something else to read.

I don't ruin it for others. Kthanksbye

 

[wayne wooldridge]

Lol It's funny that you concern yourself so much with threads that you dislike.

Go away

 

[wayne wooldridge]

It's so fucking hard to say "congrats" bc you aren't doing as well.

We are reporting sales here, am i right?

It's nice to see reported sales, and the people getting butt-hurt and complaining about disclosure is funny.

Let's see you disclose every one of your sales.

 

[Golan]

I agree, totally useless thread.

9 letters? Maybe it was YOURIDIOT.com or PUSSYRIOT.com or something like that. Internet of Things in a way, why not.

Totally. But this thread is NOT a sale report.

 

[MapleDots]

The thing is it just doesn't help anyone in any way IMO.

I disagree with that

It provides inspiration and made my morning. I very much enjoyed reading about @HiSmart 's success.
I am truly happy for him and hope he ignores any negative remarks.

Would I have liked more proof?.... not really, he provided enough.

Would I have liked to know the domain?.... sure but again he provided enough information.

Share the love, bask in the glow, be happy for another domainer, one day it could be you

You sound like you're mad. You want to rain on his parade?

Why don't you know that you could just ignore it?

 

[BrandMart]

Meh.. another one..

Wonder when the staff will make a rule about including 'domain name' in sales report threads.

I respect your opinion.

Do you really think I'm not liking the sale happened or got jealous? Or didn't I believe the sale did not happened?

Well, that's not the point fellow domainers are talking about.

One should share it completely and make it at least somewhat helpful for others. Simply IOT niche doesn't help in any way.

Think the other way and you'll understand my point of view of critisizing the OP.
