discuss What's it feel like to sell a domain name?

[platey]

bought a few domain names and allowed a few to expire and renewed z few domain names too but never actually sold a domain name either and not in any hurry to sell cheap either but as i haven't sold a domain name etc what does it feel like to sell a domain name? Lol

It makes you see everything in a bright light and how great domaining is and all

Then, after a week with no sales or inquiries you start wondering if domaining is dead

It depends on the amount. $$$$ is more exciting than $$$.

It feels reassuring, knowing that you're doing it right. But more than anything else, it opens your mind to the possibilities the industry has to offer. It's also a means of motivation to continue in the trade.

To anyone who hasn't yet sold a domain name after twelve months of purchasing their first, I'd suggest that you hand-register a few at $1.00 / $2.00 and sell as low as you can - just for motivation.

Holding long-term should be for the really nice gems, the rest should be flipped asap in order to grow capital to reinvest in the gems.

JMO.

I remember my first domain name sale over 10 years ago. Same day I received the check for high XXXX I cashed it and went straight to Costco and bought the biggest screen TV i can find for my parents, gave them and siblings some money, used some for renewals and lived like a king for a couple weeks

P.s. I've had nice sales since then, but I'm not a motivated seller, I'd rather develope than sell cheaply. I view the best domain for a business as priceless and they are lucky for the opportunity to purchase it. Imo The term "domainers" is to broad, at the bottom you have the flippers and at the top those that develope them into full fledged businesses.

...what does it feel like to sell a domain name? Lol

It's like wiggling your toes in thick, soft grass while sipping on a frosty frozen Margarita and having your head gently massaged all while watching a beautiful sunset.

Hope you get a chance to experience the feeling soon!

Good Luck

They teach you that feeling around 6th-8th grade in health class.

Feels good, unless it is in the x,xxx range and above, then it feels like a little piece of heaven for about 24 - 48hours

It's always exciting when you make that first sale. I was when I sold my first domain for $250.00 after buying it for $7.00 then another feeling after selling a second name in one hour after hand regging for $100.00 after buying it for $7.00 years agoooo.

It was confusing and exciting as I did not know how to transfer it? Sold it here and the member was in the same country so he rang me and talked me through it, money in the bank was the most exciting part!!

that's the perfect sale in as much as the buyer wants the name but also realises that the seller is a newbie etc and hasn't transferred a name etc with the buyer using their experience to make sure the transaction goes through smoothly for both parties especially the buyer i'd have thought

Try it, you'll like it

Follow advice from @Aspiring Billionaire and try selling a lower cost domain, build from there.

its great hearing peoples domain name successes because its effectively like swimming eg you can't swim unless you get in the water and the byproduct of swimming? We get wet lol

Feels great, I concentrated on brandables, in first year had
three marketplace sales 2 x xxxx 1 x xxx
One from a parking enquiry mid xxx
One from flippa offer xx only
Several here

Well well ahead

 

[WatchDogue]

Being a rather passive seller by choice, inbound offers / sales instead of aggressive outbound efforts, each sale is a vindication of my domain name choices, domain name prices and, sales approach.

OR

I think of 'em, buy 'em, price 'em, list 'em and feel great when someone finds and buys 'em!

1st time is nice, but 50th time is nicer Don't count on luck, learn and replay.

Also after each and every sale you get the "fudge, should I asked for more?" moment.

 

[Nsmith91]

No matter if it's xxx or x,xxx a sale always feels GREAT to me! It quietly confirms that I am making better choices in my domain investments and there's always a market for good names. A nice ROI is our goal and should always feel GOOD! Wise domain choices and patience is often the key! Good Luck!

I do not have much feelings about it..it is just a transaction - you give something, they give something

Are your domain names hand registered or do they have history?
