question Your FASTEST domain sale?

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

Hey nP members,



what was your fastest domain sale?
I mean the time between registering or buying a domain and the final sale of it?

Of course the 'speed of a sale' (negotiations) depends on the desired sale price - but, also apart from this fact, it's an interesting question I think - which means your answers are the real interesting part of it.

So, share your 'fastest sale' experience here!

Bought a name off a flippa auction for $26 bucks and sold it a few days later for $3000. Guess they were late to the bidding party

Nice thread. Really cool fast-sale stories

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

About more than a year ago I was registering a new TLD domain at the 7th day of EAP (means 1 day before GA).
A few minutes later I got an offer.
I didn't sold it but it gives me the feeling that it was the right decision to pay an extra fee to get it bevor GA.
If I would have been accept his offer it would have been my fastest sale ever.

My second sale was within 100 minutes of registring a domain

My fastest sale was within a day.

Ukrainian keyword.
Originally this enduser is from Riga (Latvia), but is doing business in Ukraine also...
Bought it just for redirect to his .info-website.

I spent $10 on ebay , flipped for $3500 on another auction platform ~7 days

10 years of doing this and I can only wish I had a story that came close to the ones you guys have.

I don't think I've done better than double or triple my money for a flip that took under a week or two.

My fastest in the past couple of years was from a .red hack. Got it from a prereg as soon as it was available and it was sold within a day for $500. The buyer owned the .com of the one word.

The really top 'fastest domain sales' are made by registries through binding preregistrations by customers - they are 'already sold before they even exist'

 

[Chris Wilcox]

My fastest was about 3 or 4 weeks.
May not sound impressive, but consider:
1. Passive sale, no effort on my part. Didn't list it anywhere.
2. Huge return - 800 x initial investment.

So if it was a passive sale, how in fact did the sale come about? Did a buyer seek you out or was there anything you did on your part to hasten the sale?

A couple of years ago hand reg'd BrandSurveillance and sold it within a couple of days for $890 as Sedo BIN. Many others but those have been outbound flips for smaller ROIs.

That's fast

 

[FusionSpy]

Fastest was ~4 hours, last year (after that it took a few days for seller to complete payment to Sedo, etc... ) - hand registered a dropping .info (not only that I used coupon code for 0.99$ reg :D ), listed it on Sedo @ BIN 499 USD and imagine my surprise when I checked my email that day

 

[dragtastic]

Fastest was under 24 hours. Bought an expired .com with a coupon code for .99 - contacted about a dozen end users in the travel industry.
One replied - sold it for $1,249 through a godaddy premium listing. God I wish I can replicate that again

So if it was a passive sale, how in fact did the sale come about? Did a buyer seek you out or was there anything you did on your part to hasten the sale?

Passive sale = NO EFFORT on my part...
You should look into whois.

 

[deez007]

Wow looks like there are some really nice quick sales here...

Some of you have managed both a quick flip and good profit.

My quickest was like 2 months...lol ( profit was about $1800)
