aywhy93: Thanks a lot bro! I don't really consider views. I mostly reduce the price when I want some actions. I usually keep myself engaged (domain-wise) by buying names and building my portfolio, but when I'm not buying domains (e.g. spent whatever budget I have), I get bored, so I just reduce prices on some of the names. That way, I can get busy buying names again if anyone sells.
On this particular name, tbh, I wasn't keeping an eye on it until the offer came in. It's not in my top 50 most viewed domains, but during the offer/negotiations stage, the views increased a lot. Many thanks for sharing your insight. May more sales come our way. |
aywhy93: Another Bangerrrrrr!!! PS: I typed this sale report a few days before the actual sale happened because I was so confident it was gonna happen 
In my last sale report, I mentioned that I get sales whenever I reduce the prices on my domains. Well, that's still the case here. This domain is also one of those domains that I slashed the price on. It was initially listed for a high XXXX, but I reduced it to $4999. About one week ago, the buyer reached out via an Afternic Broker with a $3750 offer. Well, before responding, I started digging deep to find out who the buyer is, so I was able to narrow my guess down to 2 possible buyers (I'm very convinced I know the exact buyer sha )... One of them is a new company, and I noticed they are presently spending some money; they recently acquired a new office in downtown Vancouver (One of the most expensive cities in North America - Not cheap!). They are also hiring new employees (Some of their job listings are over $100k/yr), so I figured they are not small inside this world . The other potential buyer also looks capable; both of them are on the other registered TLDs.
After gathering enough information, I countered their offer with $ 4,750, but set the floor at $ 4,500. They didn't even stress me too much; they just accepted the $4500 straight up. Funny enough, if the domain was still priced at high XXXX, I have a feeling they would still buy it, but the price reduction just made the purchase happen sooner. Well, there you have it, my biggest sale so far in this game. My first sale only happened in March, and it's the 4th one already, all for XXXX.... I'm thrilled and grateful! At the moment, the goal is to have a minimum of one sale every month, and I'm actively working towards that. On to the next one!!!
