Started Domaining Dec. 26th 2018 after crawling this thread countless number of times.
This was the second name I registered, picked from expired domains.
Purchase price: $1 Netsol
BIN: $100
Hold time: 2 Weeks
Type: Outbound-Facebook actually, after countless read mails without reply.
I pitched the name to him, no reply, about 4hrs later I asked "Would you like to make us an offer?" Said: "Yes, $50"
Countered $80, no reply, I sent him the link and changed BIN to $50, He paid immediately.

Thank you Iykepromotions for your superb mentorship (even though I didn't contact you on this one, ), 2sexycom, Haykay2005, Promxy94, expertix, Treasure28 and every other person for your positive contributions to this thread, they really motivated me.
..and to otoboson who mentioned to "not be greedy, in this business", I remembered that when I accepted the $50.

otoboson:

Congrats, I see that you also applied THE TRICK I use after a potential buyer reads my mail/message and ignore. Lol, 'WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE US AN OFFER?' works every time, although many will say NO but at least you will know for sure that they're not interested. Also, you will get a low offer most times if they say yes, but at least you can sell (IF THE OFFER IS ACCEPTABLE FOR THE VALUE OF THE DOMAIN) and move to the next.

Please!!! Domain veterans, You people should help me! I'm very very new in this domain biz, I just bought a domain last Friday and decide to do some outbound late last night, only to wake up this morning to see an offer of $... for my domain via email.

I had accepted the offer and the buyer has replied back with "That's a deal".

Now how will I know they've made a payment? Will undeveloped sent me a notification of payment? And how can I transfer or push the domain name to this buyer? Please, I have never done this before!

Did the offer, come in via undeveloped or did the buyer reply your private mail.

myseyf:

It came through private mail! The offer was via private mail.

Treasure28:

So, it's better you go set the "Buy it now" price to your
agreed price and send him the purchase link

Set the agreed price on undeveloped Bin
Reply him with the link to the domain name landing page with Bin showing.
So he can make payment.

Testimony time. Alert just entered. Jesus thank you!

3 word USA geo domain (real estate industry)

Bought at Netsol for $1 on Dec. 23 2018 and set BIN $2,300 on Undeveloped

Outbounded on 26th night to more than 20 end users (Facebook and direct email)

Woke up around 3am on Dec. 27th to see an offer of $1,500

I immediately countered $2,000

Buyer countered $1,500 again and said (Unfortunately that's as high as I can go. Thank you for the consideration.)

I come think am. Sleep no gree come again. I say weda to use delay tactics. My church mind tell me say I dey greedy. $1500!!!

I accept fasssssttttt!!!Dec 27th

The waiting game don start be that.

I took the liberty to search the buyer on Facebook. Saw her and noticed she is a very big realtor in that particular real estate subniche I targeted. (Meanwhile name was gotten from Expireddomains)

I added her as a friend and introduced myself. (Reason for this was to get her to know I am real ..... probably worked)

She was on vacation so communication was hell. But I kept communicating. Answering her many questions about her being skeptical about Undeveloped as a trustworthy company, transfer process, how she will get the domain etc.

This went on till Dec 31st when the buyer sent me a mail from Undeveloped that almost gave me heart attack LOL.

Undeveloped in their payment reminder to her spelt the domain name (the name of the city) wrongly TWICE in the same mail. Chai.

She said her trust don vanish that professionals cannot make such a mistake. Wahala. My brain went into overdrive.

I had to allay her fears by letting her understand that Undeveloped being a European country may sometimes get foreign names wrong. I agreed with her that it was unprofessional and that I will contact Undeveloped to correct the mistake.

She was happy.

I contacted Undeveloped and apologies were poured out with promises to rectify the issue.

I purposely didn't bombard buyer with mails so that she will not feel too pressured and back off, but I remember asking her when she intended to pay, cos with the landing page showing "Domain Sold", I may lose other prospects.

She totally understood my concerns and said she was on vacation and cannot do much until she gets back home. That if I want to back off from the deal she will understand...WHAAAATTT!!! Back off wetin!!! God forbid. I told her I will wait ooo.

Undeveloped sent second payment reminder to her on Jan 3.

Buyer assumed that she will pay extra VAT and started developing cold feet.

Those current with Namepros will remember the thread where Undeveloped explained thoroughly their VAT methods.

I smiled and explained the much I can to her that since she is from outside Europe, she won't have to pay any VAT. I also told her that I will tell Undeveloped to explain this to her. Undeveloped did and everyone was happy. LOL

Friday Jan 4th buyer paid. Praise God!

Undeveloped contacted me for domain transfer. Which I completed later in the day. But it was until Monday 7th that Undeveloped acknowledged it (they don't communicated weekends from my experience).

However, it was only on last Wednesday Jan. 9th that they sent the money ($1,365) to my dom account. They said ordinarily they ought to have sent it out within 1 business day from the time buyer paid, but because it was my first transaction, they had to make sure of certain things. They also rejected my request for Bitcoin payout because of the same reason. I can however request for Bitcoin payout from my second transaction.

Wire transfer takes 3-5 business days to hit your account.

Today is the 3rd day. Alert received around 1pm.

I had to write this long epistle not just our of joy, but to chronicle what it looks like dealing with Undeveloped.

Some sales may go smoother than mine, but this goes to show that if I never thought of searching this buyer on Facebook, probability of losing this sale would be high.

I registered 12 names with the $1 promo. Praying and hoping few more in same real estate subniche (sorry - won't reveal it for now) will sell.

As a newbie, and still learning. Try and target cities with population above 100,000

If you are searching your keyword on Google for endusers, if you see adverts appearing at the top of the serach engine results, that's a good sign that people want that keyword. So an enduser may like to have an EMD as his/her domain name.

Another tip. If you are setting your filters on Expireddomains, under Additional tab, at the bottom, tick the box that says Facebook Taken

It will show you domains that have Facebook Pages with the same names. For instance, if it lists lagosvetservices .com, it means you MAY see a Facebook Page with the handle @lagosvetservices

It doesn't always work but when it does, it is a plus. Just check if the FB Page is active. If the business has a website. Even if it has a website that goes by another/similar name, the business MAY want to own a name that matches their FB Page.

$1 promo give us a lot of room to lower our risks.

Meanwhile my alert says $1,345 instead of $1,365. I guess $20 has gone towards unexplained bank charges. Different story with different companies. When I sold some names on Namejet last year, I got the exact amount in my dom account.

Nothing spoil. To God be the Glory. More sales to us all!

PS: any typo? Pardon. Too happy to proofread. LOL.
