Testimony time. Alert just entered. Jesus thank you!

3 word USA geo domain (real estate industry)

Bought at Netsol for $1 on Dec. 23 2018 and set BIN $2,300 on Undeveloped

Outbounded on 26th night to more than 20 end users (Facebook and direct email)

Woke up around 3am on Dec. 27th to see an offer of $1,500

I immediately countered $2,000

Buyer countered $1,500 again and said (Unfortunately that's as high as I can go. Thank you for the consideration.)

I come think am. Sleep no gree come again. I say weda to use delay tactics. My church mind tell me say I dey greedy. $1500!!!

I accept fasssssttttt!!!Dec 27th

The waiting game don start be that.

I took the liberty to search the buyer on Facebook. Saw her and noticed she is a very big realtor in that particular real estate subniche I targeted. (Meanwhile name was gotten from Expireddomains)

I added her as a friend and introduced myself. (Reason for this was to get her to know I am real ..... probably worked)

She was on vacation so communication was hell. But I kept communicating. Answering her many questions about her being skeptical about Undeveloped as a trustworthy company, transfer process, how she will get the domain etc.

This went on till Dec 31st when the buyer sent me a mail from Undeveloped that almost gave me heart attack LOL.

Undeveloped in their payment reminder to her spelt the domain name (the name of the city) wrongly TWICE in the same mail. Chai.

She said her trust don vanish that professionals cannot make such a mistake. Wahala. My brain went into overdrive.

I had to allay her fears by letting her understand that Undeveloped being a European country may sometimes get foreign names wrong. I agreed with her that it was unprofessional and that I will contact Undeveloped to correct the mistake.

She was happy.

I contacted Undeveloped and apologies were poured out with promises to rectify the issue.

I purposely didn't bombard buyer with mails so that she will not feel too pressured and back off, but I remember asking her when she intended to pay, cos with the landing page showing "Domain Sold", I may lose other prospects.

She totally understood my concerns and said she was on vacation and cannot do much until she gets back home. That if I want to back off from the deal she will understand...WHAAAATTT!!! Back off wetin!!! God forbid. I told her I will wait ooo.

Undeveloped sent second payment reminder to her on Jan 3.

Buyer assumed that she will pay extra VAT and started developing cold feet.

Those current with Namepros will remember the thread where Undeveloped explained thoroughly their VAT methods.

I smiled and explained the much I can to her that since she is from outside Europe, she won't have to pay any VAT. I also told her that I will tell Undeveloped to explain this to her. Undeveloped did and everyone was happy. LOL

Friday Jan 4th buyer paid. Praise God!

Undeveloped contacted me for domain transfer. Which I completed later in the day. But it was until Monday 7th that Undeveloped acknowledged it (they don't communicated weekends from my experience).

However, it was only on last Wednesday Jan. 9th that they sent the money ($1,365) to my dom account. They said ordinarily they ought to have sent it out within 1 business day from the time buyer paid, but because it was my first transaction, they had to make sure of certain things. They also rejected my request for Bitcoin payout because of the same reason. I can however request for Bitcoin payout from my second transaction.

Wire transfer takes 3-5 business days to hit your account.

Today is the 3rd day. Alert received around 1pm.

I had to write this long epistle not just our of joy, but to chronicle what it looks like dealing with Undeveloped.

Some sales may go smoother than mine, but this goes to show that if I never thought of searching this buyer on Facebook, probability of losing this sale would be high.

I registered 12 names with the $1 promo. Praying and hoping few more in same real estate subniche (sorry - won't reveal it for now) will sell.

As a newbie, and still learning. Try and target cities with population above 100,000

If you are searching your keyword on Google for endusers, if you see adverts appearing at the top of the serach engine results, that's a good sign that people want that keyword. So an enduser may like to have an EMD as his/her domain name.

Another tip. If you are setting your filters on Expireddomains, under Additional tab, at the bottom, tick the box that says Facebook Taken

It will show you domains that have Facebook Pages with the same names. For instance, if it lists lagosvetservices .com, it means you MAY see a Facebook Page with the handle @lagosvetservices

It doesn't always work but when it does, it is a plus. Just check if the FB Page is active. If the business has a website. Even if it has a website that goes by another/similar name, the business MAY want to own a name that matches their FB Page.

$1 promo give us a lot of room to lower our risks.

Meanwhile my alert says $1,345 instead of $1,365. I guess $20 has gone towards unexplained bank charges. Different story with different companies. When I sold some names on Namejet last year, I got the exact amount in my dom account.

Nothing spoil. To God be the Glory. More sales to us all!

PS: any typo? Pardon. Too happy to proofread. LOL.

Congratulations on your sale

but the school public school, both Christians, Muslim, and traditionalist taxes were used to built the school

You have been misguided. Mission schools were built by missionaries who MO brought Christianity to this part of the world. The inability of christians to uphold and maintain it necessitated Government taking over to sponsoring them.

Sale type : outbound

It was purchased by the former owner who had it for the past 10 years but mistakenly dropped from his hand.
Wanted to get more from him but was not yielding as he is from UK and those UK guys don't really value .com like thier .co.uk which he already owns.

Congrats for your latest domain sales. I hope to share mine here very soon

ebymy:
I just sold a domain name after a very long time and special thanks to the masters in the house and my mentors Iykepromotions and Haykay for guiding me through the process. The domain name is Pango.io, I got the domain November 2017 at $32 and had it listed on both SEDO and Afternic. I put the price at SEDO for $1599 with make offer. I got a mail last week from Afternic that someone inquired about the domain and that I should include a Buy Now Price and a Floor Price. I quickly made the buy now price $1599, same amount on SEDO and made the Floor Price $1299.

The very next day, I got a mail from SEDO that a buyer offered $800 for the domain and with the comment that it is the last and best price he can offer. I immediately contacted my mentors and they say I can accept the offer and delete the listing on Afternic. Six days after accepting the offer, the buyer has not made payment and SEDO was still sending reminder for him to make payment. That was when Afternic sent a mail that a buyer has offered to buy the domain at $1295 and they have the money already but they noticed that I deleted my listing with them.

I spoke to my mentors and immediately followed their advice and re-listed it with Afternic, sent the Authorization code and sent a mail to SEDO explaining situation that I am no longer willing to sale since the buyer had refused to make payment after 6 days. Fortunately for me, SEDO on their own today decided to cancel the transaction as the buyer has failed to make payment asking me to sue the buyer for breach of contract. Meanwhile, domain is already with the Afternic buyer. Na Baba God do am oooo

Congrats Bro. Many more sales for us

IDEALCASH:

Congrats Bro for your sale. I hope to also share my testimony here too

Good morning guys, has anyone sold domains on lysted before and how frequent does they sell their domains?

Hardheolar:
Yes, you need to pay

Thank you

expertix:
The procedure for you to transfer your domain are as follows:

1. Get your authorization code (Auth code) from the old registrar; where your domain is presently, In case of Godaddy and several registrars they will send the aucthcode to your email but in others you pick it yourself, by clicking on the domain and find the authcode
2. Login to your account at new Registrar where you want the name to go,
3. Find the transfer interface at new registrar,
4. Enter the domain in the interface box,
5. Enter the domain's Authcode in the second box
6. Click on the button for transfer the domain
8. You will be lead to payment interface,
9. Make the payment
and you are good to go

Then you wait for email for authorization of the transfer, however, this varies from registrar to registrar
Followup with the transfer/ monitor it and to see the end .
Cheers.

Thank you expertix for your time. You have saved me from posting lots of question.

Gooday guys and the big bosses here, I need a small clarification and this is it. Do i need to pay if I want to transfer my domain from one registrar to another?

Thank you

Farouksenior:
Can you see potential buyers that your domain name will help?

Not really boss, the other websites using the word always refers to WHO because that was where it was coined.

Two (health industry) worded name about to be registered. 600 monthly searches on estibot and 35,400 on google. Can i register this domain. I need your honest appraisal. (The word is been used by the World health Organization)

Cc expertix, jamil, iykepromotions, and co

Good morning guys, hope you all had a nice sleep. I need help from boses, I placed an auction on godaddy and it was accepted, however I was limited to only two bids because I dont have a verified paypal account. Pls what can I do to remove this barrier. I will appreciate responses pls. Thank you

Treasure28:
It means if your domain sells, the transfer will be done without your involvement. All that concerns you is your cool cash.

Thank you treasure. Should I go for fast domains and do you think there is extra charge attached to it

Good morning to everyone here and hope you had a great night. I recently registered a domain name and placed it on sale in afternic. After logging into my account this morning, i was greeted with a message from afternice that my domain qualified for a fast transfter and that I can transfer the domain to some underlisted registrar, I dont fully understand this. Pls my bosses in domain, kindly explain the pros and cons of this offer. I will be greatful. Thank you all

This is not entirely true, on Saturday I requested for an Auth Code from Network Solutions for one of the domains I bought with the 1$ promo, the buyers had already paid and requested a transfer to GoDaddy so after requesting for the Auth Code I called Network Solution and told them that I can't wait for 3days because I have sold the domain. The guy created the Auth while we were talking on the phone and I received the code in less than 30mins (instead of waiting for 3days).
In summary; the 60 days lock isn't activated for the 1$ domains and if you need the code urgently, call them, you don't have to wait for 3 days .

Which bank ATM card did you use to buy from network solutions and did you use a Nigeria profile to make the purchase

EGUNSOLA14:
why don't you take it? The guy that owns it is a nigerian rich musician, and a philanthropist too. That is my reason for buying it.

I don't think he owns it because he wouldn't have allowed it expire. I might be wrong though

EGUNSOLA14:
Got this today www.emoneymusic.com

I saw this domain on expireddomain.net yesternight

ExplicitConect:
firstly, I do not know what's happening here the headline of the thread attracted me to the thread. Why not tell me what all this GoDaddy and whatnot is all about before we talk about price.

Lemme help you small... Go to page 1 of this thread and start reading till you reach this current page.
NB: Read slowly and don't rush. Nobody has the time to give you concised info

biuti:
Thanks, I just used this too.

Can you please explain how you set up your payment system
