Although you should have responded, but it is nice you took sometime. Suspense is part of this game. However to the pricing thing, it all depends on you. Since we don't know the domain name - is it .com? Is it a high-demand keyword? etc so, I can't advise so much, but

a. You can ask the person to make an offer
b. Find out how much such domains sold for
c. Find out how much such domains are listed for in marketplaces
d. Be nice and just sell at 50x or 100x your initial cost (if you bought at $2, sell at $200). But watch, don't let it be too ridiculous.

It's these secondary school students that go on to University and rub shoulders with the children of elites in the UK and US. When these folks graduate and go to work, start business, or explore opportunities, it's these networks that they tap. It is a sad fact that poor people in UK, US, or Nigeria don't have the connections to do the things that employ thousands of people. If you wanted to tap a network of investors for equity or loan, guess which Rolodex you're going to use?

Bill Gates is ONE kid that dropped out of college. There are millions of wealthy American elites/business leaders who did not drop out. The focus on Bill Gates is like saying "since one person won the lottery, you too don't have to study hard, or work or start a business. Just relax, and you too can win the lottery". Obviously not very useful advice, so why keep trotting it out?

Bill was able to assemble investment money, business contacts, legal advice, technical assistance, sales channels etc from people who didn't drop out. Even Bill went to expensive/privileged primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions.

If not for the fact that he had access to a computer in primary school (you had to be extremely privileged to see and use a computer in early 1970s), his fortunes might have been quite different.

You won't believe I don't do all those traffic, PR, ... stuff. The main thing I am concerned about is ensuring it is a sweet domain name, and that it has not been used in spamming etc. Maybe it is because we deal with strictly business names. Also I have a mind tuned to and use a set of rules to choose names.

That acnadian name to me is a bad name. I added it to illustrate a point.

I don't understand your point at Namecheap. I hope you aren't referring to their market. I only said to use namecheap to register .com domains at normal prices and not buying premium names there.

Why do you want to backorder? If it is not a domain name that will end up as thousands of dollars worth, I don't think backordering is a great idea. There are so many good names that you can get through other means.

I am confident when the problem is getting great domain names for your business/investing, when it comes to sales, I am not 'confident'. All I do is list the names on the various aftermarket platforms. But if you are a more aggressive domainer who pushes names on various forums and through emails then you can be sure you will do very well if you have the skill to choose the right names.
"Hand regged" isn't the problem, bad names are. Let me give you examples of these names. Tell me which are likely to do well or not.
DailyTradeSignals.com? StartFlirting.com? SecretAlarm.com? and Acnadiandrugs.com? All these names are dropped names.
Each of these names except one is worth at least $399. And each is sold for about $10. I will advise you take time to develop your own approach to choosing names and even the type of names you will be stocking.
On the $5 reg, Namecheap still sold at $5 yesterday but the sale is off now. Godaddy has coupons for .99, 2.99, and $5. You can only use these coupons once.

nnaa d tin tire me oo,as if am stil doing forex, binary and sportbetting

Chibenze:
this question is tough,
well this is my own story.

When i start domain i have nothing (low cash), so i hand reg domain to sell, with time i started buying from other domainers nd sell to make $2- $15, gradually i started buying from expired auction.
Currently 90% of my domain i bought via expired auction.

So if you have d cash (deep pocket), start from expired auction.

Note: just an advice (i maybe wrong because am still a newbie)

Nonsense..how much was spent on this project

- a piece of land
- less than 50,000 blocks, roof and windows and other fittings
- open plan design
- partition
- fountain plant
- gateman house
- fence
- 2 gensets X 250 KVA each
- hospital equipment from Republic of China

Total costs not exceeding N100mil., sure that the amount would hit N100bn in the books of the State. Nonsense i repeat nonsense

Find attached a world-class hospital in Cape Town, it was built with almost N100mil.....Akpabio sef
