Hi house, is the 14%interest a one time thing or monthly thing if I opt for 364days option

U receive it only once

How will I know the rate my bank(fbn) bid on for 182 days in the primary auction, since I opt in to receive the profit after maturity?
I think fbn bid rate was 12.2℅ for 182days in the primary auction.

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

CuriousX:
@iyke and all please which registra is the cheapest for renewal? I have 4domains that will expire soon. I intend to transfer them to a registra that has cheap renewal. Please help. Thanks

Lcn.com....6.49$

AwesomeDuru:
This is interesting and I think you should respond to them. Tell them you're a domain reseller. Point out some of the processes of the domain reselling business and tell them about how safe and secure their funds are through reliable escrow until their domains get to them.

DON'T. MENTION. NIGERIA!! Leave the part of where you are located out entirely.

Tell them more about the market place your domain is listed and promise them they'd get their domain.

Quote your price to them. Not too low, else your domain starts seeming worthless, not too high, so you don't chase them away. Start from $550.

They seem like serious buyers but they are sceptical and haven't heard about domain reselling before. Hope this helps.

Regards.

Thanks baba'...will try this

2sexycom:

Registrar: networksolutions
Duration: 4days hold

The client didn't even bother negotiating, he just went ahead to click on BUYNOW

Thanks to iykepromotions for his motivations, though I have not began disturbing him much.

Congratulations

Renewed a name yesterday at nominalia for 34euro(14000+) cos it sold at GoDaddy for $199 twenty three days after expiry.
how funny domaining can be,
I had set the price for below $60 few Months ago.

2sexycom:
Yeah, tell him what he is buying... on basis of your conscience.

Sure, that is what I told him.

2sexycom:
My people.
These are the replies I got for one domain like that... the 3rd guy only said "Sure" so i am disregarding him as not a serious buyer.

do you feel the two below are serious? I have responded to them but they just kept mute since. price is just $399 o. not too big. what is your thought. i have done follow on the first one below after 2 days, no reply still. the second one will be followed up by Monday.


And

"Just following up to know your latest position as regard the domain name and move forward." I sent this and it Has worked for me before.

The second reply is too tasking, one has to do research and try to convince them to buy it.

All the best baba'

I also got this response recently:

"
What do I get if I buy it. I never heard of this business. $250 is pretty cheep too
"
I guess the buyer thought I was trying to sell him a business, how would u answer this?

I just bought a .com at lcn for $0.79...
https://www.lcn.com/domain-names?src=95pdomainfirstorder

Treasure28:
UsedSprayBooths.com
Purchase price : $1
Sold : $250
Sale type : outbound
Hold Time : 1 month

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.

Congratulations baba'

CaesarDon:
Ok its cool you're enthusiastic to better yourself,

I'd be explicit as possible, u need a laptop if u don't have one

The amount of time you devote to coding would determine how fast you'd get a job, cos experience counts alot so your devoted time is essential
Reply with your mail address I'd send you a book, and also detail how you'd go about writing your first code

You also may not need proprietary software as notepad in windows should suffice

I'd also be of help if you run into any hitches

Pls, I also need the material

Sorry about that man,

This reply you get from them is very discouraging oo..I have been doing outbound even up to 200/domain no ban, may I know ur sales letter format and the niche you are contacting, maybe a good amount of companies reported spam.
