Please I've been reading and learning.. Yet to buy a domain yet.


I saw a really nice domain. geo(pop =200k+) + keyword. but it's more than 30 days since dropped. I'm skeptical because I was thinking maybe if it's good top domainers would have taken it

there are a lot of end users for the domain..

You think it's good buy

30 days? A bit long and normally supposed to have been taken if it's that hot. However confirm the potential end users popularity and keywords competition. Both, the higher the better. That's all that matters.

1. GoValue to Appraise and give you idea of pricing by comparing with previous similar sales.
2. Estibot to give you an overview of Search history, rankings etc.
3. Whois.Domaintools to have an idea of no. of years it has been registered.
4. Search engines to give you details of no. of end users available.
This list isn't exhaustive, Google and do some more research.

It may not be seen by those who knows the good ones; or that likes geo domains, if the domain is destined for you by Baba God. Mind you! If you have considered factors that makes good domains and see that it is a good one just reg it and try your best to sell it.

From my experience, the length of "expiry days" doesn't really count. If it's a good domain it will sell. My very first sale came from a domain I registered after 20+ days of dropping. Sold it after 2 weeks @ $400. If the name is good, it will sell come what may. But always do your due diligence before taking a decision. All the best

I tried listing my domain at afternic, but immediately i filled in my BIN price, the page reloaded. Since then, if I try to list it again, I get a response that the domain has already been listed. But then, it's not in my portfolio.

Please gurus, how can I resolve this?

former owner listed it. Simply notify afternic support that you're now the current owner and they should place it in your account. Send a mail to support@afternic.com

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.

39th like damn! people are no reading this thread.... keep the testimony coming ooo

Hello everybody in house.

Kindly help with this question.

I have five domains which I rigorously searched with the help of this thread from page 1-333. I checked all the five on appraisal website and the least is $1109. I want to know if I can place a BIN price of $1999.

I don’t want to be greedy, please advise.

its your game, if you like play 7 and if you like play 11. You might be lucky it would be picked by an enduser that recognize a gem. I made a mistake in 2014 when I sold agays.com unknown to me, the owner of both the .net and .org extension was the one pricing my domain he made offer of $230 and I sign the sale without checking the whois. It was after some days that I checked it and I was lamenting. Although I made a lot of profit $1.19 to $230 is use but I can still make more milk from the deal. lesson learnt.
