Just sold InvestReit.com for $55,025.

It was a Handreg back in 9/26/17. So three years.

3 years of renewals about $24.


Reit means Real Estate Investment Trust.

This is officially the highest "Reit" domain sale. The highest one previously was only $24,000.

And the fourth highest "invest" domain sale.

The sale technically happened around Thanksgiving so I have a lot to thankful for.

Special thanks to @epik and @robmonster for facilitating the sale!

And yes I got permission from the buyer first before I posted this.

Best of luck to everyone!
Happy Holidays!

buyer got a steal congrats to all the winners

I thought that too but few things I considered.

1. He registered the exact match social media accounts. No one really talks about this but a domain with its matching social media accounts taken by others or the buyer ? Kind puts the seller in a pickle.

So here's a thought. Should domainers try to secure the exact match social media accounts for their domains to lock in value?

2. Coronavirus economy = you take what you can get.

3. Payment plans really are a Godsend.

4. The price was originally $50k but got bumped up to $55k to cover transaction expenses plus since it's in installments I needed to get some interest also. Epik was paid 9%. I can say this publicly because seller agrees to the terms.

I did this with a few of my domains, not easy to find social media names available (at least not on twitter and ig)

Note. I noticed I was getting emails from people who were registering free social media accounts that are exact matches for my domain names for $250 a pop.

Basically they somehow can get a list of domains registered that day and pick and choose which ones might be developed and then register the twitter Facebook and Instagram even LinkedIn.

Then sell each for $250 a pop.

I can see a domainers doing this.
Forget paying to hand register domains. Just wait and see what people register today and cherry pick the good ones.

Now that's genius and if you are broke? Great way to make money.

@WhoaDomain.com what's your sell through rate for your 15k domains, let say % of domains sold above $500 . Here everybody talks about 1 to 2% STR per year, but i see something like 0.5% only on my portfolio. whats your take on it. And congrats on new milestone sale :)

I think 1-2% is about right. Again I do have sales under tight NDA's. Those basically covered about 3 years of renewals with profit on the side.

Not really here to give up all my financials to just anyone who asks. You know?

Let's just keep things strictly about the magnitude of the sale.

And as far as me keeping a float and the "concern" relax.

I'm on a Boat!

Whoa!!!! Congrats WhoaDomains. Extremely Happy for you.
Who did the financing after all?


Not sure if it is luck he gets it right often enough :)
I think he has amazing insights and maybe great negotiation skills or something.
He sold BullionBlocks for 8K recently and CoinMena earlier. All Hand reg

Nobody else would think that name is worth 50 K or that someone would be willing to pay 50K for that name. He has a skill at picking up names in this case pearls nobody else notices so yes there is skilled hand regging going on.

But getting 50K for a domain that is 3 years old and would only matter to a select few (niche)in a very bad year is a lucky break. Its very hard to justify that price for better names or get someone to pay that amount in general. He is lucky his buyer had the amount he asked for. I am pretty sure less than 2% of sales come in at this range or above.
