Sold WarrenAndCompany/com
Purchase price $8
Sale price $500
Venue : Godaddy Premium listing
Hold time 14 months.

Story line.....
I bought this domain last year June and immediately reached out to the .net owner who was into real estate
I contacted the guy then and he replied immediately with how much which I replied $3000 which he then replied by saying the name is only worth $500 to him that he will buy it immediately if I send him godaddy purchase link
I could not send him godaddy purchase link because I had the name registered at namesilo
So, I had to wait for the lock period to be over so I can transfer the name to my godaddy and then list it on godaddy premium page so I can send him the purchase link
I did just that after 60days
An extra $15 cost plus additional one year of course
I got back to him with the link just for him to say he will pay only $50. What
I was disappointed.
So, I just left the name like that.
I even contacted Warren Buffet lol
No reply.
But just on Monday afternoon I got the good news from godaddy.
I don't know who the buyer is and I think it doesn't matter.

Sorry I don't understand what you meant

Farouksenior:
I said earlier on that i would chronicle my hustle

Many atimes we come in2 a business thinking, it's a fast way to make cash. Sadly domaining is not.

2015:

I was a green horn, eager to learn..i dey call 2sexy 3-4 hours on his phone sotey d guy phone go hot, infact i pester d guy so badly, him just gree my own come benin.. we begin relate face2face.

Challenges:

Finance
I was the defination of bro:ke infact if i manage reg one name, i fit rest for 2 weeks.
I quickly realized domaining fit put me in debts. Everything i did was not getting head, every month den 2sexy they announce sales..i was like Baba God pick my call na.

Cape of Good Hope:
O mehn in came the brandbucket hype .. brandables dey sell like fire. I sat down one day after analysing like 10 names, i regged them with the sole purpose of selling them as BB accepted names.... oluwa ooo.

I immediately turn supplier, they chop small small 20$ to 25$. I was not happy but contented.

Renewals:
I come dey try balance things but sadly, since i regged many crazy names back den, i had to let go. Infact even though it looked as if i was in money, i was actually broke.

2016:
I read through the two threads on nairaland, i realized my strengths was in brandables. But with brandables, so much uncertainty especially when you are buying handregs.

Brandbucket:

Quickly built a portfolio of about 14 names, but not a single sale, i stumbled across a guy here saying he sold Payarc .com, i strengthed my resolve.

Sadly 2016 my saving grace was doing quick flips for bb accepted names.

2017 :
I bought bolthost .com, na dis name wer mk 2sexy cum think say i don loose my head.

I emailed buyer...
Buyer answered me with 50$
I replied with 3000$
Buyer started abusing me..
> you steal names
> you sonofabitch
> you even stole my name so you can sell at a higher rate to me.

I was calm.

Buyer >>> ok, ok i will do $200 last

I said NOPE !! - $2000 looks beta

Buyer:
> you ungrateful asshole
> bloody squatter.

I lost my head and we engaged in over 15 email replies. Infact it was bloody he cussed me, i cussed him baq. Ended up sellin the name on NP for about 120$.

2018:

-January got a small contract to supply names
Made $1400

-March 1st sold my first brandbucket name like i earlier mentioned here : $2495.

I took 10% as a tithe and said God i want mk

Last bullet:
Be careful of who you share things with on Np, some of those guys will just rob you blind. Steal your ideas, steal your names if possible.

They are nice. Texas steel company is cool.
I can see number of end users.
Just do outbounding with price around $250-$350 and see what happens
Good luck.

City + keyword seems easier to sell than state + keyword as the former is more specific

1, My own question is why did the owner of a domain leave it domain expire? Wouldn't it be profitable for them to exstend contract and sell.

expertix:
Answer is when you no longer interested in the domain name, or lost of the login details to the cpanel of the registrar account where you register the domain and you no longer remember or lost of the email address for the account.
there are so many reasons behind it, including sickness and death.

God forbid.

ebymy:
I just sold a domain name at Afternic. Domain name is BMK and it is a dot io domain and was bought in march 2017 at $32.88 with renewal in march 2018 for about the same amount. Domain was sold at $800, which is my biggest sale to date.

Special thanks to all the Gurus in the house for keeping this thread alive and sharing domain tips with us.

jamih:
