Bosses in the house, what do you think? Was they a better way I could have played this ?

One potential buyer (P.B) has been using my head to play Mario.

To make matter worse, me sef kon dey act desperate to clinch the deal.

P.B said he was interested and would love to get it.

Sent him a Buy It Now link eve though the link was in the first sales email.

D P.B just dey read am.. He no talk anything...

Sent him a couple of messages if he saw my email (cos some buyers dey complain say dem no dey c my mail and I would have to use another account to send the mail to them)

He read, no reply.

After a while, I sent him a follow up message, acknowledging the fact that he was busy and if there was any way I could assist him in getting the domain or if he has any questions that needs answering.

The P.B told me that he's out of town (on Monday) and would be back on Wednesday.

So, I wished him a safe journey.

On Wednesday evening, I greeted him and stylishly ask if he had gotten back home.

No replies. No purchase.

On Thursday, I told him to take $75 off the domain (a 24-hour offer) and he replied almost immediately that he's interested and how does he go about it.

I replied an hour later about how he could go about it.

He viewed it but didn't reply and made no purchase.

Sent him a follow-up email a few hours to 12 am (American Time) asking him to make his purchase before the offer expires.

Yet, the P.B kept viewing it but no replies.

I even tried to use Epik escrow service thinking he was unable to pay via DAN... Yet, nothing.

Sent him a last offer tonight and I've decided not to contact him any longer if he continues to be playing mind game or whatever it is he is doing (I've removed his email from my list sef).

I should have played it cool and wait things out IMO but having seen some P.B grow cold feet after a while of showing interest, I thought mounting on the pressure could work in my favor since it has in the past.

Since you had followed up two or three times and all of his replies were showing interest; that meant something is delaying him, just be patient, do not let him take you for cheap, mounting pressure on him could only make him aware that you are eager and that could give him edge, it can take you for granted and cheat you. According to the tune of his replies; it shows he is coming back, just be patient.

Cheers.

..I finally decided to buy small coin (5coins) on SH, but I can't seem to submit my unregistered domain names in bulk.
"Invalid extension"

..I have tried with and without the dotcom. ...
...I hv searched tireless online for a solution without any result.

..pls gurus in the house, i need ya help ooo

1. how do I submitt my unregistered names in bulk on SH.
2. How many names can I have on a single bulk submission.
...thanks in adv.

Login to your account and navigate to bulk domain submission at your marketplace listing. Just click on the arrowhead in front of "Upload names in Bulk" and under it, you will see four (4) icons that you can use, then click on which one that is appropriate for you.

However, you will have to create CSV file for your uploading before going for submission and then click on the appropriate one and click on the cloud space there, and that will direct you to chose your readily prepared CSV file on your system and you are good to go.

Cheers

Since last year you strong o! I've already deleted my conversations with 2 guys that are just frustrating me with delay. Just 1 month old domains Sha. Patience isn't just my thing.

In that case you better quite or learn patience. If you can not be patient ; domaining is not your business.

Domaining is sometime you sell fast, sometimes you sales tarries

From GTB

I do not know why people exercise unnecessary fear when nothing is happening !
And that is one of major reasons I dislike coming here often, because many of you pass wrong information

Many of you broadcasts what is not happening and that could not even happen.

Don't you know your proceeds are paid into your account?

I still collected money from my Dom account this last week.

Namejet is not coming up here. The web is not coming up. I don't know if anybody having the same issue I 'm having here

Namejet is not coming up here. The web is not coming up. I don't know if anybody having the same issue I 'm having here

Apart form GTB mastercard, what other cards can I use in buying domains

you can also use ecobank but you have to tell them you want to be using it online

Please for those that are familiar with Godaddy auction

If I pay for Godaddy auction

Can I list a domain that is not with them or must it be with only GoDaddy names.

Coz am thinking of paying

Yes you can list your domains from other registrars but you will need to verify them

Channel5:


For me is long

And buyer has another choice

I hate being at the mercy of buyers

Where maybe I own singular and plural is available

And lately I am sticking to juts 2 sentences .com

City/service.com

Or match business name in .com where there must be an already existing extension that is run by a company.

You mean two word domains?

Channel5:
I just secured another .com with porkbun making it 3 accounts now GoDaddy 2 accounts

Is it advisable I push all domain to one account?

better push all to one account

Update

Bet9ja.com now redirects to bet9ja2.com

That meant they have come into compromised. Chikenna! Money have moved from hand to hand.

Simpsonrocket:
$1 for com at hostpapa.com unlimited

Modified: just found out that they don't accept Nigeria

Nice one but there is no Nigeria on their website but one can use foreign address which I have confirmed via their chart

ufotty2001:
Bet9ja one of Nigeria’s leading bet companies had its online business hit rock bottom on Tuesday when its domain reportedly got expired.

A smart web designer who is reported to have found the domain for sale on GoDaddy purchased it instantly and this led to a shutdown on the highly visited website.

A Facebook user Mikhael Nice however posted on his timeline screenshots of what has been the landing page of the website with caption “Bet9ja expired and they didn’t know. Domain went straight to the market, the dude purchased it and instead bet9ja went and registered bet9ja2.”

“To cut the long story short, they have now repurchased the domain from the dude, redirecting it to bet9ja2.”

“The dude is now a millionaire and the management may be sacked”.


However, at the time of filing this report, the website is still down, with a GoDaddy ads on its landing page. News Bet9ja official website is now bet9ja2.com


https://hotfrom9ja.com/bet9ja-loses-website/

Presently, the domain will be expired on 2024-04-17. What must have happened is that the domain must have expired since since 2019-04-17 and it takes 45days before any domain can be free for another person to take the possession.

Hence the domain expired on 17th April 2019, that meant it would be available for another person to take over the domain around June 4th and we are now in November 27th 2019.

What must have happened is that the company might try to shortchange the webmaster by not paying him his bill. But presently the bet9ja have changed their domain name to bet9ja2.com and did not forward to any other domain name until now.

It is not possible for any one to pick a domain when exppired but can only pick domain when dropped. The website owner will know as soon as the domain expired because the web will no longer show again as soon as expired. But until 45th days before someone else can take over the domain.

Mcquine:
Imagine

bet9ja2 will also soon expire and they will open bet9ja3. careless set of people.

Sales alert!

domain: the//insulation// company/// in king.
Hold time: 17 months
sales price: $1350 (my minimum offer)
sales type: Inbound offer


The history of this name is quite long. Like how I got it and decided to keep it.

Just when I decided not to renew names - an offer came for this name.

I got an offer this week for this name (my minimum offer) and I thought countering it for $2500.

Reasons:
1. I am the only one the king. Almost all extensions are gone.
2. I've held it for more than 12 months.

But the buyer declined and added that; he will look for another name . So, I let it go.

Domain flipping is trickery. Sometimes, when you decide to partially let go; sales come in to motivate you to keep strong.

Then again, I've noticed and I think someone has pointed this out that in domain flipping business, you will also get your investment back. Well, kinda true for me.

P.S: I also got a job this month after I kinda lost my previous job back in Feb, this year. Double alert month end.


BTW: I have like 20 geo names expired and in grace period I think I can renew (I've got them during NetSol's promo)

Congrats Ibironke
Yes! You can renew them. If you so wish you can even transfer the domains out of Netsol if you have collected the authcode before. That is why it is good to collect your authcode in advanced; sales or no sales; I do collect my authcode few days after registrations

micynute94:
Good evening bosses.

I need your advice on this.

Got a domain that will be expiring shortly (tomorrow) and got an interested buyer for it.

The issue is I don't plan on renewing it since the cost of renewal is high. (@Network Solution) and the selling price is pretty low.

What's the best way to go about this?.

Thanks.

BTW, congratulations to the latest sellers.

Quickly request for the authcode for transfer of the name and try to conclude with the buyer and let him or her know that the domain is expiring tomorrow. So that he can arrange on how to transfer the name with your authcode.

You can still transfer domains within expiration period

But however, the best for you is to renew the domain and have time for better negotiation with the interested buyer.
Good luck

cdor777:


Although, it is good to take advantage of Promo period for registering domain name. However, you have to consider some factors like cost of renewal when registering domain name with any registrer in case the name doesn't sell in its first year.

That being said you can register just one name with Gandi.net promo at $1, but you should know that cost of renewal is $15.5.

Since domain is an investment, I will advise you to go for Domain Registrar that gives you best value for money which is Epik.com

You can register your .com name at Epik.com for $7.49 and renew at $8.49

Remember, all domains registered at Epik include:
- Free WHOIS privacy
- Free SSL parking landers
- Free forwarding
- Free basic Wordpress site
- Free listing in Epik marketplace for selling/leasing

Feel free to contact me if you need any guidance.
I will be happy to advise.

Best Regards,

Epik

No ! You can transfer to another registrar if their price is too high for you for renewal. Meaning you can send your name/s to another registrar at cheap price.

Cheers

simonydurny:
Please don't mind my ignorance. Answer me this : How do you list in several marketplaces at same time without going to registrar to change name server to marketplace? Every marketplace I try to list demands that I changed the name server to theirs. Anticipating your kind reply. Thanks.

Just list it everywhere you know and change name server on only one marketplace you like most. That is all.
Cheers and good luck

Who has successfully sold and transferred a Domain from directnic.com. How long does it take

It takes normal 5 days to transfer from directnic as usual like every other registrars.

warrenweste:



pls have u been able to add yur card on Dropcatch.com or make any payment there before? GTB told me they use a different payment terminal and it doesnt work with theirs

Sorry for this late reply. Yes you can add your card or paypal and you are good to go.
You can try other bank like ecobank Mastercard.

You know you operates your Dropcatch.com account via namebright.com ?

Cheers

My gurus in the house, please i received a mail from godaddy that they verified the funds for my domain which I didn't even list on godaddy, registered at dynadot. I countered the initial offer because i had nothing to loose as the domain was still under transfer lock period. Now the buyer accepted the offer, mu question is, will the deal still pull through since I didn't register for the godaddy marketplace/auction?

If you listed the domain at Afternic; yes Godaddy can do that; because Godaddy is the owner of Afternic and some other 7 registrars as their agencies.
If you did not list it with them; surely someone must have listed it with one of these registrars.

Hello my Ogas in the house
how much can i list this domain Berbecue.com

This is a typo of barbecue and not b"e"rbecue
Well fortune may smile on you but the actual price should be as good as the reg fee or if you take it as Brandable you can submit it at brandbucket or brandpa or nameerific if any of them accept it it could yield you a good money of say low $xxxx.
Good luck that is domaining for you

legendary4luv:
Question in the house please. Is plumber domain sellable?

Because I just bought plumberscom dot com. I'm yet to create a landing page for this domain on namesilo

Plumbers names are good but I do not know of this because of the repeated com.com
See how much these domains sold textecom.com - 100 USD, tvtelecom.com 177 USD, wavetelecom.com - 120 USD, datacom.net 221 USD, idtelecom.com 130 USD, htelecom.com 156 USD etc

They all sold cheap. Look for highly sold replica and register them.

Cheers

[quote author=Gabson91 post=77650604]mehn they'll burn ur ass. Learnt a bitter lesson with directnic when i recently sold a domain [ /] What happened with them? I have sold domain registered there and sold at flippa but there was no problem with my transfer.
Let us know the issue here, so that there will be no any misleading of people, because information matters and it flies like bees.

KubwaBoy:
Please how do I list my domains for sale on Namepros. I know this question must have been answered on this thread but i can't figure where the answer is on the thread.

Selling domains at namepros are always cheap

Just look at the top bar under the heading click on "Sell Domains" at the next window click on "Domain Auctions" at the right corner of the next page; click on "Create new Thread" then create your domain name auction. But you have to read on there instructions before creating the auction.

Cheers and good luck

Guys help.
How do I contact netsol??
I want to cancel monthly autorenewals.
I already sent mail
Open a ticket.
They haven't replied.

Go to your account, click on the manage in front of each name and find where to off the auto renewals of your domains one after the other

Hennyola:


None of my submitted domains got any bids on Namejet

It happens like that, it is a normal thing and more so one has a marketplace that could be favorable for every individual. Your domains may sell well in this market and may not sell well somewhere else.
