I lost this name(business-forum.com) expired domain in a matter of few minute to another lucky smart person today. The name is worth $437 with other nice qualities. Very very painful!! But still, Live goes on cheers.

Where did you got that price worth? You mean someone registered the name before you? Or how did you lost it?

M2dX:
I want to register a name on namesilo and this came out =(Sorry, you can only order account funds when paying with Bitcoin. You can then use those account funds to complete your transaction. You can use the other payment methods on this page for immediate purchase) pls, what those that maen? I want to use btc wallet and this is my 1st..

All you need to do is to first add the payment from your wallet to your dynadot account and after then to make use of the money for purchase.

Cheers

God is still involved in my case o
Sold my first domain

Absolute No Report!!!!

brudiga:
Hi gurus,

I need an advice on what to expect on a situation i just noticed on thursday night. A United states company CIO, Chief Information officer, sent me a mail on thursday night.

The subject of the message is the name of the company and the content is just TEST. The mail was sent using the firstname.lastname@company.com .

I then decide to search for the name on the company website and i found out he is the third in rank of the company and happens to be Vice-president/cio.

The interesting part is that i own a two word phrase domain name in which the first word is the same first word as theirs. Now, My question is

As a Guru in this industry and From your experience, do you think they are interested in buying my name or the CIO is just playing around with my Email? Or what do you think, generally in this kind of situation?

Personally, I m suspecting its another type of scam that i might not yet be aware of, which is why i m putting it to experience gurus to help me burst if its a scam...

The comapany is in SOUTH_DAKOTA

Cc: haykay, Mr iyke, 2sexy, expertix and other gurus. Thanks as i expect your response

Replying to the mail doesn't arise at all. But I wish to know the domain, you can post it here or strike it like this do/ma/inm/ from there I will know what to say further.

iykepromotions:
congrats on your sale. Next Line of action will be sent to you. you on.t have anything to worry about.

Congrats

tok2ig:
Up to a month plus now.... GoDaddy has bug issues with add payment method.... Up till now I can't add payment method in order to register a domain.... Pls any alternative to register my new searched domain name?

If you have a Nigeria paypal you can add it on Godaddy or if you so like, you can use your mastercard or Visacard directly on Godaddy.
That is not supposed to be any problem!

jamih:
it is at name. com

Don't worry about the transfer now when it is time they will ask you for the transfer code when the buyer must have paid into the Godaddy's escrow.
Congrats.

jamih:
about to record my first sale on godaddy.
received a transfer request from godaddy, later
received an email that it sold for 250. please
am I suppose to transfer the domain to my godaddy account first or wait for them to request for the auth code cos the steps they sent was confusing.

@ak, expert, josh ,2se

Where is the domain name presently?

Treasure28:
How is this man killing it?

By foresight and patience. As tough as that!

Royal155:
I have not sold any domain on namejet. They I must have up to 15 domain before I can list for auction.

Sorry I was trying to refer to Haykay2005.

Ratals:
Hi pros in the house please kindly help me figure out this stuff.

Bought Solar/Home/Builders.com early this month, followed all the pro tips as advised, did outbounds. But unfortunately, upon all my efforts, nothing seems to work out.

So far I've contacted about 60 peeps, yet no show.

Is the domain that bad or is there where am getting it wrong?

just keep trying. But in my opinion; the name looks awkward, though it has some searching on Google but it looks some how.

Royal155:
Baba I Commot cap for you walahi! $600+ profit in one week? Kai! Show me way sir

Remember you sold 3 names at namejet? So you have to deduct the $30 for transfer fee to enom.com

tranxo:
Tried creating an account on enom but I got a message that my IP is not allowed.

You guys in Nigeria how did you create your enom accounts?

haykay2005

Go and use a broadband connection, either Swift, or the other one you can easily get through.
Cheers.

However, crypto is the most trending domain niche in the market for now but the above does not mean crypto will continue at the same direction, but presently crypto related domains are still good for buying and selling and not for keeping IMHO. If you have hand regged crypto domains that make sense, you can sell them at namejet auction.

If you don't have namejet account; you can apply for it for free.

I brought this article here from Namepros.com for everyone in case you have not seen it before. Posted by @stub sine 2015
You either read it here or visit namepros via https://www.namepros.com/threads/strategy-for-expiring-deleting-domains.878648/

Here is a comprehensive strategy for buying domains at Expiring/Deleting Domain Auctions, as of Sept 2015. This process describes how the process of capturing .COM/.NET domains work.
[url]https://www.namepros.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.icann.org%2Fen%2Fregistrars%2Fgtld-lifecycle.jpg&hash=705a3a80aac7172ec09e4a94ff37a746[/url]
PRE-RELEASE DOMAIN AUCTIONS

A Pre-Release Domain Auction is an Auction for a domain which has Expired but which can still be renewed or transferred out (restrictions apply.. see below) by the current Registrant.

This is the first stage of the domain dropping process. From 0-45 days after expiry. (The Auto-Renew Grace Period, in ICANN speak). All Pre-Release Auctions end whilst the Registrar still has control of the domain before Day 45 after expiry. On day 46 the domain is given back by the Registrar to the Registry and it will definitely be deleted. There are only very rare exceptions. Renewal (the renewal price plus the Registrar's penalty) by the original Registrant is the most common.

Usually these Auctions begin at most Registrars or Drop Catchers at around 35 days after expiry (varies with Auctioneer) and the domain has still not been renewed by the current Registrant.

The main venues for these auctions are either at a Registrar which has an Auction System, like GoDaddy, or at Snapnames/NameJet which have entered into agreements with some Registrars to be the sole Auctioneer for their Expiring Domain Names.

Usually the current Owner of these domains still has the right to renew the domain. But sometimes Registrars who have agreements with Snapnames/Namejet restrict these rights. GoDaddy is the most generous. Allowing transfer out (or renewal at Godaddy with a penalty) up to 42 days after expiry. You need to read each individual Registrars ToS to know the time they give you to renew the domain or then lose your ownership rights. ICANN says it should be at 45 days. But no significant Registrar follows ICANN rules, here.

GoDaddy is the biggest Pre-Release Auction Market on the planet by way of the fact they are by far the biggest Registrar. SnapNames/Namejet are 2nd and 3rd to GoDaddy, respectively. Everyone else are bit players in this Market. They have a small Market Share. How much? difficult to say, but probably less than 10% for all of them combined. No facts to substantiate this.

It is highly recommended that if you see a domain in a Pre-Release Auction Market you want, you should bid on it at that Auction and not anywhere else. ie: If it is at SnapNames then only bid on it at SnapNames because they control the domain. It is your first and best chance of obtaining the domain.

The biggest downsides are, 1) The existing registrant can still renew the domain, and will be motivated to do so if they see it has value. 2) It is a Public Auction, so you can be outbid by anyone joining the Auction.

The biggest upsides are, 1) You sidestep the Pending Delete Auction which is open to everyone (including Dropcatch/HugeDomains. More on them later) 2) You retain the original registration date (which I like personally. YMMV)


PENDING DELETE DOMAIN AUCTIONS

A Pending Delete Auction is an Auction for a domain which has entered the Pending Delete stage of it's current registration. Almost dead and dropped.

Domains enter Pending Delete stage 75 days after expiry (46-75 days is the Redemption Grace Period, in ICANN speak). There is no coming back from Pending Delete. The domain will delete 5 days after it enters Pending Delete and will be available for re-registration the next day (day 6 after entering Pending Delete or 81 days after expiry).

These Auctions begin when the Domain hits Pending Delete status. It is a free-for-all when a domain drops. The company with the best drop catching system usually wins most drop-caches. This is DropCatch with over 500 registrars knocking on the Registry's door.

The main venues for these Auctions are DropCatch, SnapNames, NameJet. There are a miriad of other competitors, but they are only bit-players. Bit players ocassionally get lucky and capture Pending Delete domains. Usually (not always) the domains nobody else wants.

There are no official statistics, but DropCatch probably captures at least 50% of all drop-caught domains. It could be a lot more. they are the Goliath of Pending Delete Auctions. The reason for this is mainly because their sister company, HugeDomains, wants to snap up all dropping domains which have any value, and to place them on their own Domain Marketplace for sale. Partnering with Dropcatch has, to date, been a very successful strategy for them. But we cannot see if this is profitable or not for them.

The previous Goliaths were SnapNames/NameJet, who held the position now held by DropCatch.

It goes without saying. If you are serious at wanting a domain, you should be backordering it at all 3 of these companies. backorders are free. You only pay if you win the domain. If you are the only backorderer at the capturing company, you win the domain outright.

Now this is where it become interesting because of the different policies of DropCatch to SnapNames/NameJet relating to more than one backorderer.

For SnapNames/Namejet, if there is more than backorder placed at their venue and they capture the domain, then the domain goes into a three day Private Auction. Highest bid wins the domain.

For DropCatch, if there is more than one backorder placed on a domain at their venue, and they capture the domain, then the domain goes into a 3 day Public Auction. Where anybody can bid on the domain.

Because everyone is used to the old system at SnapNames/NameJet where a domain goes to a Private Auction, they reel at the though that anybody can bid on a drop-catch with multiple bidders, if it is caught by Dropcatch. they feel cheated. But it is only the marketplace at work. Of course a Private Auction is preferred because the domain has fewer bidders, not everyone. But with DropCatch capturing the lions share of all drop-caught domains, they have chosen to hold Public Auctions, where prices are naturally bid higher than at Private Auctions. Some say too high. But in general, it is only being bid up to a price where another Domainer can still sell the domain and make a profit, in their opinion. Of course opinions between domainers vary about the price.

There is a twist to this DropCatch dropcatching. As as sop to other domainers, they have stated that HugeDomains would not be permitted to participate in any Dropcatch Auction. This of course is fine, until they are being bid up by other domainers What is not so good, is they recently introduced a Discount Club, where HugeDomains have priority over any backorder. this is not good at all, as users of this service see most of their backorders being captured by HugeDomains. IMHO, you should never use their Discount Club and only participate in their full price backordering, which cuts out HugeDomains access to the domain. You still need to participate in the Public Auction if there was more than one backorder at DropCatch, if you want to capture the domain. The exception only would be if you are placed at the highest bidder and nobody else bid on the domain, which is quite rare.

Personally, I see DropCatch's method of doing business as a paradigm shift. It's not going away. Either embrace it or hate it. It will make flips harder because of the higher pricing, and will usher in longer hold times for domains. I actually like the fact I can poke my finger in the eye of HugeDomains (our biggest single competitor) by placing a full price backorder on DropCatch. Even if I don't bid on any auction, and I just take the captures where I was the only backorderer. It's peanuts in the big scale of things, but it gives me satisfaction

For domains which are not worth the $59 dropcatch fee. I usually backorder at Pheenix. They capture some but not all. With their recently added 100 drop-catch Registrars, they should become more competitive. But they have announced the same policy of as DropCatch of Public Auctions on domains with more than 1 backorder placed on their system, from Sept 19th 2015. This won't suit everybody. But I believe it is the wave of the future. Some day, all dropcatchers will operate like this. IMHO.

CONCLUSION

For Pre-Release domains I only bid at the Auction House which has the domain up for Auction. Nowhere else works. GoDaddy, or SnapNames, or NameJet, or if the domain is registered at a Registrar which runs it's own Auction House, eg Dynadot.

For Pending Delete domains which have value and desirability, I backorder at all three major players DropCatch, SnapNames, NameJet. For domains which I think won't get picked up by any of these three, I use the cheaper drop-catcher, Pheenix. The hundred registrars they just added will make them very competitive in this section. I might even add them to my top three and see how many they catch

Happy reding

Mr Iyke
What happenned to the other thread and it seems your account has been blocked
too with this new moniker your are using.

Blocked ke? Is that so? But why? It could be because he is tired of reporting those people that spamed his thread.
But if that is the case this thread may have K legs OOOo!!!

OK please respond if you are still with us!

Frankicent:
bro pls pm me your email wanna ask some question concerning my hand reg domains.

You are not new in domaining now what question do you have ok I will pm you, I have left this thread for sometime now but I will always come back here now for up dating and in furtherance of domaining in Nigeria but It may be different from that of the iykepromotion because I will be talking on sales from place to place and also about crypto trends

legalwealth:
Thanks for the mention... its .NG is also available.

I knew you've gotten .ng of your site

jefy:
just want to knw,is it possible to link your naira account to paypal? Plus,i was asked to enter my bank acct details on godaddy.does this mean,sold domains proceeds will be wired to my account?

@jefy, You can link your naira mastercard account with paypal, especially, that of GTB, but you can only spend from Nigeria paypal account; you can not receive money with your Nigeria paypal account. However, you can use only exchanger's paypal account to collect your money. Just have to explain to them and they will give you their paypal email address for collection.
You can also link your dom account with Godaddy and not your Naira account.

tranxo:
Thanks bro. I appreciate all the answers.

Last one. The extra expenses is, if your domains are with another registrar; you must transfer them to your enom account where namejet can takeover the names. But if your domains are with enom.com and up to 10 months to expiration date; you will not need to transfer or renew the name/s.
Cheers.

cyriletifit:
Please can you give me a reliable PayPal exchanger that you use. If possible the person number.

meet legalwealth his whatsapp is +234 8091833866 or visit ijamexchange.com. Good luck.
I have transacted with him many times.

cyriletifit:
I need idea how how to get my money from Godaddy.com after the sell of my first domain..

submit your dom account info and you get your money. or give them exchanger's paypal.

tranxo:
Thanks. How much is the charge for a bank wire to seller's Dom account.

No extra charges apart from their own commission

tranxo:
If for example a name's reserve wasn't met and the name didn't sell, will it be related for auction? If yes, how soon? Automatically, or on seller's request/resubmission?

You can relist after two weeks and the price will go back to one backorder - $69, even if you had 100 backorered in the previous auctions

tranxo:
Thanks bro. Yea I have gotten the sort code. So Namejet only uses bank wire for payments? I wonder why they are not exploring other options.

It is ok with the wire you get your money in dollars and no other charges than their percentage cut. about $15 from $100 and you get the rest $85 I think it is even better than these paypal of a thing that you still use someone's account for collection.

Raph01:
no oo. jes 2 months in it

And you were saying such a thing as if you knew what you were talking. Such statements can cofuse another new commers. I have said my own mind and with experience. You can buy today and sell with 4 or more fgures in the second day but such domains are very rear, but you can still find pearls in the ocean with had work. Expired domains are also not easy these days, they can be very difficult to catch. Good luck.

Raph01:
Iykepromotion et Expertix

Well in this business every domain differs in value and nature; they are like women which you can not see two equals, so you can not compare one to another. W e have seen a fresh new reg domain sold for good cash on b the second day of the acquisition and we have also seen old domains that does not worth any kobo. So you must make sure all the domains you want to acquire are of valuable in nature and wait on the Lord for His goodness.

Awoofawo:
Hello I am back with an issue....while trying to list my domain on Sedo for auction.....everything went smoothly until I got to verification stage....they asked to change one of the nameserver address to their own....there also lot jargon that are above me (got confused). Will appreciate if anyone here could be kind enough to put me through the process.

Thanks

@Aoofawo I had already written sedo's NS above for you to park your domain name. These are the NS you are going to write input in your registrar account. Find the DNS at your registrar place and add the two NS I wrote above and that is all. NO hassle.
After some time the name will then appear in your account.

Cheers.

Awoofawo:
Thanks replying, how do one list at the other site and already park domain...can I un-park and move it to another site for packing too?

The site is on namesilo....I am real confuse about the interface........

Parking means when you use the DNS of a particular registrar or marketplace; for example you want to park at sedo marketplace - you are to use NS1.SEDOPARKING.com and NS2.SEDOPARKING.com etc. Then after that you can just submit at other marketplaces and wait on the Lord for His goodness. Also if you so wish, you can change from one parking place to another at randoms
