iCauseTrouble:
Toor. It depends on your risk tolerance. I just made my first 5 figure sale this morning. Domain is just 3 days old. The most shocking part is that I don go do strong head go buy on SAV again. I am just praying they don't cancel it. I will share details about the name in 57 days time if everything goes well.
Domains on SAV are cheap but risky.

congrats man... keep going..

AkProsper:
I know about them. Just that some bank rate are cheaper. Sterling for example as at last week was 480/$.

yes cheaper with limits or cap at $20-50?

iCauseTrouble:
On behalf of our leader Peter Obi and The Peter Obi Fc, I congratulate you H.E Atiku Abubakar. But that doesn't mean you will win the 2023 election

He does not need to win bro... He just need to shift the direction of future elections.

ollybode:
@legalwealth should have been the best exchanger for this kind of transactions, tested and trusted. He even has physical office and he has a good reputation.

That man was the person I used to receive my domain sales at the early stage.

AkProsper:
Hello, which bank card is still working for online purchases even with the $20 limitations.
I know of Sterling. Use it this week @ 480/$

I went to access, was told their's is no longer working except the dollar card l.

But we have been talking about Barter card since or are you not aware of the virtual card company?

iCauseTrouble:
Replied. Sorry, I have not checked that mail for some days

no wahala baba. Thanks. I have read your reply and will do the needful as suggested.

Crazeworld:
There was a guy here that invested 400k+ loan he got from the Federal Government into domaining.

I can't remember your moniker but if you're still here, can you please come and update us on how you fared.

Any lessons or tips you might want to share with others thinking of going in that direction?

400k as what? as a newbie or as an experienced person?

iCauseTrouble:
GEJ na fvckup man. How would you accept the offer of a party that has destroyed your name for over 8 year? what will make you dine with the devil?

I sent you an email.

Most of the country's former Presidents are selfish

You are naive. You forgot that this man and his Northern military brothers are the ones who created that useless constitution.

The South just know how to acquire degrees but lack political sense.

rolams:
I know if it is Northern part of the country, you won't be liking him by now!

I don't know what you guys gain in all these. Leave the religion for those who practice it, you won't. Your religion is to you while my religion is to me.

Let's embrace peace, we have nothing to gain in violence. There are so many things in the country that we need to be worried about.

Enough is enough!

South West may start having killings in their hand.. oya, go and kill him so that you will look like those in the North...

Kingozymandias:
Pls just go for a Samsung, new or Uak used and have rest of mind. Or there are some good Nokia androids you can get or maybe UK used iphone..

Just stay away from those Tecno,Infinix or Itel fun far from them

Gbam... Any phone brand that cant be found in the UK or US should be avoided...

therealMcCain:
Please For learning purposes, how are these names not brandable?

I know names can fall in more than one category

Because they are tied to a particular field or industry. They are category-defining terms. The only one that may be considered as brandable is wrap but I know the extension-wise, .com would be much preferable... most companies buying .xyz are crypto start up.

beckplanet:
Yeah agreed. Although I equally share similar views to @2sexycom regarding the names not being termed brandables.
Nontherless Meta/verse//xyz massively undersold considering it sold under a year and the industryhave not yet picked up yet. I saw somewhere on squadhelp reported sales that the name sold for $4,999. Maybe it sold twice I guess.


Peace

I think Swether was the owner...

iCauseTrouble:
That will be nice

Done and waiting for his response...

Crazeworld:
I think experience plays a great role in pricing. Some people have really nice names but just doesn't know how much they're worth so they price low to sell. Most of those in this category actually got those names for reg fee so they figured x100, x150, etc. is a steal.

Some on the other hand have some really nice names and they know the worth so they won't sell for cheap. They set the bar high up and don't mind waiting.
Meta//Payments dot co sold for £38,888 under two weeks while Meta//Avatars dot net sold for €38,000 under 4months. It will interest you to know that both of them were handregs sold by the same person in October 2021.

Another important factor to pricing is the amount of cash you've got in the bank. People ask more when they have more than enough to spend. They are not under pressure to sell.
Metaverse//xyz sold for $9,888.
Sportsbet//xyz sold for $104k.
Wrap//xyz for $110k.

The three names were sold by the same person. The first sold early 2021 while last two sold recently. While they are all great names, the first one is undoubtedly worth more than the other two. While we can argue that metaverse hasn't blown up back then, the reason why it sold low was because she didn't ask much for it.

Going through Swetha's sales reports on Namepros, her average selling price late 2020 / early '21 was mid four figures. Fast forward to 2022, she frequently sells mid five figures. What happened you might ask? She clearly increased her prices because obviously, she has more than enough money in the bank.

A guy on Twitter sold a one word .us extension for over $420k from an initial offer of $500. His first counter offer was 10btc and despite receiving 75k, 200k, 350k, he kept turning them all down till his demand was met. How was he able to pull that off? Yes the domain might be great but he obviously has a shitload of money in his bank account.

You are mixing two things as ONE...and you might make mistake if not addressed.

The names here are not brandable category:

Metaverse//xyz sold for $9,888.
Sportsbet//xyz sold for $104k.
Wrap//xyz for $110k.


These are trend domain names or category domain names. Wrap is a dictionary term.

The .US domain name was a cryto related domain name and because of that, he had the confidence to ask for that amount because he is very much aware that SO MUCH crazy money is in the crypto space.

At the end of the day, data and available information is a determining factor in these things...

How do you get the data and information? RESEARCH and keep tap on past records or sales it will guide your future decisions. I still go back to reported domain sales thread on namepros as often as I can... as I am typing, have the thread open. Never understimate what you can learn by re-reading some stuff, even though you have some considerable knowledge. I still reach out to new guys around here for clarity. iCauseTrouble helped me with clarity few days ago after I lost an opportunity to register a nice brandable that someone that looks like an end user registered.

A site will probable be launched on it soon cos I saw SSL certificate installed already.

iCauseTrouble:
@ikhalyfah, I guess the antispam bot deleted your post. Hope you were not banned? Thank God I quoted you before it happened

let me reach out to Seun to have him unbanned.

Bar1941:
They should go and sit down, even Peter Obi himself knows he is paper weight in PDP, he is just trying every means to stay relevant.

They are matching for Obi in Abuja, Lagos, Calabar, Ph etc, how come we have not seen them doing same in Abia, Imo, Ebonyi, Enugu or Anambra his State of Origin? Afterall charity they say begins at home. If he can't restore peace in South East, how will he do that for a project as big as Nigeria?

They matched for 20 states... and all those states you mentioned were missing participated. Just say that you didnt follow the update...

FirstSon01:
Most of all these people talking don't even have a PVC.

Stale...

iCauseTrouble:
Thanks boss

you are welcome bro.. omo, that domain wey I lost still pain me o. But thanks for the clarification... it was very helpful.

SaintBeehot:
Reserve that isn't making a dime yet, besides the world is drifting towards greener energy.

iCauseTrouble:
I made a mistake today. I was taking a nap when I checked my phone. I got an offer of $500 on DAN for a domain I listed for $3988. I wanted to counter with $2500. I never knew I was accepting the offer. The guy paid immediately. The thing pain me but I just have to allow the domain go in the spirit of fairness.

ah sorry about that bro. congrats nonetheless.

SaintBeehot:
Same why Igbo are trying to hijacked[b] Niger delta oil in the name of Biafra.[/b] I believe the law stipulates that, if an individual resides in a particular location for 10year he/she has the right to contests and win election in that area. After all they're Nigerians contesting and winning election in America and other western countries, without their citizens complaining of marginalization.

Go to google and you will find out that Imo and Anambra have the largest gas reserve in Nigeria... Some oil works were chased out of exploration field in Imo 2 weeks ago... I am not responsible for your ignorance...

SaintBeehot:
omo Igbo indi developer!! Can you contest for local government chairman in Lagos

Why should I? I am not from Lagos state neither do I care about such things... Why are people who held elective positions in Lagos now trying to contest in Ogun state election? Doesn't this confirm what I said earlier that the owners of Lagos state, I mean the indigenes have been relegated to the back while others in the name of "we are Yorubas" have hijacked the state?

This yeye CBN policies, instead of strengthen naira, naira just got weak the more. Which kain country be dis.....

Omo, we are paying the price of electing a wicked soul...

Promxy94:
Please sir good evening and hope you are having a good day today.

Please this barter card maintenance is taking long, is there another Alternative.

Please let me know if there is an alternative payment method like bartar cards.

Thanks.

sorry for the late reply. It is back now. Yeah, the worries are valid and I was beginning to feel CBN had attacked them.

But thankfully, it is back on now.

symbuul:
Is there any means to check how many extensions a domain has been taken in?

dotdb.com

Lothaire:
Why are Igbo people doing their Biafra nonsense in Rivers State? Why can't they do it in Abia, Imo, Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi where they belong why are they dragging Rivers people into their nonsense.

the op should be the one to be first arrested so that he can explain how he got the video...

AfricanColumbus:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoisU59x8zc

A new unknown gunmen group announces its birthing yesterday in a video that has now gone viral. From a quick lookover, the group is likely based in Rivers State. They announced that their aim is to clear the land of Islamic radicals. They also acknowledged other known armed groups like the Motherland Warriors, The Ekumeku Warriors, The Niger Delta Volunteer Force etc. And called for the release of Maazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The moment you added Kanu, you gave away your aim...

With what is happening in this country, people like you should be picked up for sharing things like this online as starting point to curb this nonsense.

You will have to explain how you got this video before you even say "sorry"

Promxy94:
Who can help me buy a domain name, will pay 6k for the purchase.


Epik only please.

have you been able to resolve this bro? if not, let me know.

Promxy94:
@2sexycom Please Sir barter card is not working on epik or any other registerar is there a limit on it.

It works. I even used it to pay for a domain name 2 nights ago on Godaddy closeout. The issue with Epik is that they upgraded their system to detect virtual cards and to avoid stolen card, it will want you to show proof that you own the card.

Contact branduche to whitelist it for you. That is what I did.
