My name is Cadet David. I'm an Officer Cadet(arm of bar 4) in NDA. I'm also a multiple business owner(3 trucks trailers for haulages and logistics, poutry farm, carwash outlets, cooking gas filling shops(centres), etc) .

I run my businesses through proxies(people, monitored by my relatives), due to the limited chances of running them - the businesses - myself. No thanks to academic activities in NDA.

About 6months ago, I brainstormed and came up with a few domain names(4 domain names, to be precise). These names, hitherto, had not been registered at all by anybody. I hand registered them, and subsequently listed them for sale on major companies: Goddaddy, Sedo, Namepros, etc.

Few months back, I started getting offers for the sales of two out of the four domains names I registered.

I then pegged the asking price for the one on tourism at $8000 and the other on automobiles @ $10000, respectively.

Out of the 4 I hand registered. I observed rush for 2 that is why I pegged their asking prices to $8000, and $10000 respectively.

Some persons from different countries are currently bombarding and flooding my mail box with emails of different offers these 2, out of the 4 domains.

I gave it a thought, and decided to up the sales price from $8000 and $10000 to $20000, each. These foreigners are still hell-bent and willing to buy these two domain names at the set prices of $20000.

I am skeptical of selling it to any of the end user bidders, because I suspect that they are willing to pay because they know I'm not aware of the true worth of those domain names.

I felt that they wanted to snatch the domain names at prices that they consider cheap. Hence, I decided to contact my friend that introduced me to domaining business. He was amazed and told me that I was lucky, that if I had sold the two domains, that I could have been pure underpayments.

He advised that I should raise the amount to $40000 each, and I did. I noticed that a few of the guys dropped their interest, while the others were still steadfast in their interest to buy the domains.

Furthermore, on my own, I increased the prices further to $60000 for the tourism one, and $70000 for the auomobile related domain name, respectively.

To my surprise, 3 foriegn autocompanies are at loggerhead to buy the one with name related to automobiles and 4 international tourism oriented companies are dead serious to buy the other name attached to tourism..

My fears now:

How am I sure am not throwing away my domain names that could worth over a $100000 plus for peanut offer?

Is $60000 and $70000 okay for the tourism and automotive-related domain names, considering the rich search engine stats the 2 domains have, the last time I checked through Google Adwords?

If I should accept the offers, how do I receive my money here in Nigeria, because this is the first international transaction I'm engaging in?

Won't the Nigerian bank(GT bank) raise eyebrow when the money land in the new account which I opened with them once, considering its a young person that is involved, because the money will definitely run into millions in that account overnight?

Note: I do open new bank account for each business I have. So, I opened the GTb account solely for this business, and I don't want to be invited by any bank for interrogations. I hate that..


What mode of payment should I opt for, some are suggesting bankwire?

Pls domainers in the house. I need your advices. So as not to make a regrettable costly mistake.

Thank you in advance.

I advise you sell it now and stop speculating etc. Cash out while you can and let them send your money to your dormiciallry account if you have any. The banks won't bother you as long as it is a legitimate transaction. You can then withdraw your money or change it over the counter with traders like I do here most times.

Ok. Do so. You just need a $100 to open it. It's a form of current account.

I smell bad deeds here

But if you are genuine, ask yourself these:

How much did you use to get/register the domain

The pay they are offering, is it profitable


Why are you afraid to face questioning from the Bank if you are genuine

Don't be greedy to the extend of loosing the bidders/clients completely, if you do what will one person do with four domain names? Just asking

I think you can help yourself with these

God bless you

To be honest, I registered them on Goddaddy.com promotional era @ $0.99 each.

As for bank asking to see me, I don't want that. Why should I be invited and asked silly questions as though I'm a criminal?

Am not comfortable with such an invitation, for they should know that it is legitimate transaction.

Note: I have been disciplined; I can't soil my hand for anything. Before I gained admission in NDA, during high school era, I have been a hot cake in drawings(art works) I draw portraits for high profile individuals for a handsome cash reward, I engaged in virtual art painting designs for hotels in my area, and even traveled far for this business, martial artistry: I registered in kungfu challenge bouts and won a couple of medals in Ethiopia on African exhibition about 7 years ago, and it came with huge money price, etc. I was opportuned to learn Kunfu(Taijiquon) from my late father's friend, who travel extensively around Asia, and was resident in Beijin as an African Martial art ambassador, before he came back to Nigeria, and took me through the lessons of the '24 basic postures' of Kungfu, at age 8.
He equally taught me the great 18-arms(Eighteen arms) defense system.

Though I'm science inclined, I have natural ability in those fields I listed above. From those engagements, my parents saved up the money I invested in other businesses I have out there. Though my dad now late, my mum and my maternal uncles are the ppl managing my businesses for me, while I study and work hard to come out as a seasoned army officer.

Thank you.

Sell it fast and get your money.

Its scam bro! They will ask you to pay for domain appraisal certificate before they pay you. Ha ha...!
Moreso, its impossible to handreg a domain name that will sell for more than $1,000 in the marketplace.

Hmmm... Thank you for the idea. I will have to wait for a little while bfore any step.

It is definitely a scam. You bought something for .99cent and you think it's now worth70-$100000 hahahahaha. I thought you said your a businessman. When it's too good to be true, it definitely is a scam.

None have said anything related to appraisals. They want me to initiate payment process through Goddaddy.com. They are genuine. I emailed Goddaddy.com. They said the ball is in my court that once I decide to sell that they would handle the transaction(transfer of the domain) with the end user, ie, I transfer the domain to Goddaddy.com, and the hold it till the end user pays in the money into a neutral Goddaddy's account. From there, Goddaddy, wiil now take their 10% commission, and transfer the money to me through bankwire, or paypal.

Anyway, I appreciate you for alerting me of scam involved.

I was carried away when u stated ur investment thinking u are a correct business man.

If I hear 70,000$
Stop wasting ur time
It isn't real.

Okay, I have heard you. I'm not a full-time business guy, I run my businesses by proxies. I'm a career soldier(Officer Cadet).

I did not buy it. You can only buy domains that have been registered by other people, if those people are willing to sell.

Mine is hand registered, ie, never registered before. I only paid the list fee of $0.99 on Goddaddy.com, because they were on promo time then. Most of the registrations fees are pegged at $8.99 now on the average scale.

This amount is used for the safeguarding granting you ownership of the domain for a specific period of time, usually 1 to 10yrs @ $8.99 per year. If you wish to own it for like 5yrs, just multiply $8.99 by 5. The answer gives you the amount you have to pay for the listing and ownership for that period of 5yrs.

Thanks for your concern.
