I’ll just say you should actually prepare and avoid generic answers. Your answers need to be tailored to you.

They asked the normal questions that have been shared here. But be careful, they might ask the questions in different ways so you have to be very careful.

Why uk, how does your course relate to your experience or previous study, your modules, why the school, accommodation, what will your dependants be doing in the uk, what’s your favorite animal, describe an interesting journey you’ve been on, how will you handle unexpected expenses, after studies what next? I can’t remember the rest.

Thank you very much.

Thanks be to God for this!

I got the idea to register this domain along with some others while researching how I could circumvent HugeDomains bots' attention when bidding for expired domains around October. An idea that I saw in one NamePros post led me to further research, since I still had access to UD's $5 .com pricing then and so I could experiment.

This was among 2 or 3 highest-priced domains in the set. I couldn't tell why I was a bit bullish about the name, except maybe I go back to my records. I don't usually price domains I am experimenting with high in the first year.

Good luck and blessed week ahead for everyone.

Yes, and I just passed my precas interview.

Congrats chief. I am applying to York St John also, september intake. How was the precas interview?

edoman2016:
Do not make complaint on Twitter to Grey App or any other Fintech App. Scammers are cloning their handles to scam customer's money.

Yesterday was the saddest day of my life. A scammer defrauded me of $2,697 by sending me link through DM as if it's Grey App to resolve my Grey card issue not accepting payments on domain registrars to buy domains for some time now.

I foolishly entered my log in details into the link that mirror Grey App perfectly and he had access to my Grey App, stole $2,697 by converting it to USDC on Grey and move it out before Grey was able to block my account after I emailed them ASAP.

It's when I saw the debit alerts I noticed I had just been scammed.

Please be very careful both on Twitter and nairaland.

If Grey cards had been working to buy domains recently, I wouldn't have been in this situation. I wouldn't have tagged them on Twitter to complaint and a scammer wouldn't have disguise as Grey to DM me.

Sorry about your loss, chief

Price: $399
Sale Venue: Spaceship

HT: ~10 months

I had this priced for $599 on Afternic, where it was parked ($554 on Spaceship). Comparable sales via Afternic made me price it lower than I intended. Reached out last year to a coffee company that forwarded the .co version to their website but no response.

The buyer came with a $250 offer and back-and-forth counters brought it to the final price, making sure I split the fee with them. It occurred to me to check the number of taken TLDs AFTER the buyer accepted my final counter-offer. I was surprised to find it had gone from 2 to 6!

Later, two Afternic brokers reached out to me separately regarding enquiries because I had removed the BIN price there while the negotiation was ongoing on Spaceship. Found out offers were first made there about eight minutes before I got the Spaceship offer, but I was only informed about four and half hours later.

Price: $1,888
Sale Venue: Afternic

HT: ~4 years (4 renewals)

I can't remember whether I found this on ED or generated it.

I was so bullish about this domain that I priced it for $2,688 in the first year - the highest for any of the more than 400 XYZ domains I registered between 2021 and 2022.

By 2024, I reduced the price first to $1488 then $988. I increased it to $1,250 last year. It was after I decided to renew a dozen of the remaining XYZ domains till 2027 and release the rest than I increased the price to $1,888.

All thanks be to God! More sales for everyone of us.

You are on a roll! Congrats chief

Price: $1,000 (5-month LTO)

This sold back in December. I received the final instalment today.

I was first notified of a $500 offer on 1k BIN last May despite blocking offers on almost all domains priced less than 2488, including this one, as part of an "experiment." Asked broker to push to at least 750, but the lead wouldn't go beyond 700.

If the sale had not come before planned renewal January this year, I had set the price at renewal to 3,888!

All thanks be to God for His blessings. More sales for everyone.

Then today, MyFirstResume/com sold : BIN for $1,444!
A big thanks to Unstoppable for their promotional 50% transfer offset they ran last year (1-year duration). Without that deal, I wouldn't have renewed Myfirstresume/com — the one that just sold. Before these two sales, I had been in a dry spell for 10 months. The struggle!

100 Registrations, 5 Sales
It's been a long time coming, so I was really looking out for my next clue on a particular sale of mine until I found my way back to my past archives, then I rememise and appreciate the little details I shared... I couldn't have figured it out if not that I documented a few sales.

Appreciate everyone keeping this thread alive. I believe there's always something for everyone willing to do what it takes to get it done.

The journey was never smooth and indeed every good thing requires tons of hard work... no short cut... You wanted it, go for it

I have seen best of best domain never got sold worse case, sold cheap and I've seen worse name in quote sells for high figures.

I have send out 100s of email with fine templates/ sales script without a single reply and I've send out emails with just a subject line ( no body) that got sold immediately.

I've hurriedly accepted low ball offers that never converted and later sold high when I least expected.

I've worked and placed all my bet on that champion domain that never ever yield only for the one I neglected abandoned and given hope on sold at it 11 hour.

I've gone a whole year streaks without Sales just at the brim of giving up, was shower with multiple blessing of sales...

It got me wondering, Big world! Something are just placed in a perfect way to be a coincidence. I took a break to go figure out life squarely.

It was them I realize life is a scattered piece 🧩 of puzzles (every tiny pieces matters never ignore be conscious), everyone has a unique story to tell.

Until your beliefs, your values, your goals, your desires, your daily actions and your habits to become who you have always dreamt off all align together as one, your effort/hardwork is just as good as the goals and purpose you've set in the right direction to achieve the vision to become who you've always envision and dreamt off... no more, no less... every other thing outside this spectrum is external noise.

My advice: Never take another man's advice given to you, it's just about their reality of roadmap. infact most advices are inherently selfish. Best advice is the one you give your self in the darkest moment. Only if the person is where u want to be in life take it.

Never ever cap your dream... if your dream is to buy food and have just enough to pay housing rent buy commercial okada ... everything would work out only for that purpose. Dream wild and big.

Never envy want you want but don't have... How can you attract what you hate. Rejoice with the rich and those making sales... Every Egyptian Pyramids has treasure and Gold inside it... search inside of you... There lies your unique strategy.

Never ever dwell on the past, focus only on future... Don't dwell on seeing problems always... let your brain think of solutions always regardless of your reality and circumstances.

A eagle and a snake can prey and catch a rabbit... But eagle never uses snake strategy likewise Snake would never copy eagle style... Everything I've said think about it and Create your style.

Don't be the snake in the eagle's Shadow.

Alright! So I got my first domain sale today, exactly 11months after restarting domaining! (quoted post for backstory) I rolled on the floor when I got the email, why? Just last month, I promised myself to pause and not buy any more names until I make a sale, cuz I've spent a lot on domains without making anything yet. I am at 340+ domains as at this morning, the most expensive one costed me $300 to acquire (just last month).

This sale is so important to me, not because of the price, but because it gives me big hope and shows that I am on the right path, most especially when I was already tiring out. Even if it gets cancelled after 1 payment only, it has already given me the motivation I need to keep going. To ensure I wasn't spending more on domains, I started reviving my Youtube channel and was even editing some new videos when the email from Afternic dropped lol, now I can start working on both equally.

Now, to the name, I bought this name in June 2025, so that's like 9 months hold time, I wasn't expecting this to be my first sale cuz I feel like I have even better names than this one, some with the same keyword+HQ, some are even 4L.com, etc The name was priced $5k+ like many of my names but I was testing a pricing method some months ago and I forgot to update it again. Well, sorry to bore you with stories, here are the main details -

The story

I reached out to a few end-users last year when I priced this for 999. No show. So, I hiked the price to 3k when I reviewed some listing prices upwards towards the end of last year.

I received a message from an Afternic broker about a 1.1k offer last month, stating this was an improvement from an earlier 750 offer. This was just a month and a day after the domain would have expired if I hadn't renewed it.

I asked the broker to try and push to about 1.5k. I probably would have accepted that 1.1k if not that I forgot it wasn't the first offer but the first that I was informed about. I always try to counter first offers ever since I got that tip 2-3 years ago - coupled with personal experiences.

After that, the lead disappeared from my dashboard. I thought the deal fell through. I had to use Grok day(s) later for a second opinion on whether I priced the domain too high and got a confirmation that it was fair pricing, so I planned to continue renewing it.

I was informed five days after the initial contact that the buyer agreed to do a maximum of 1.5k. Thanks be to God!

Good luck to everyone.

Congrats boss and thanks for sharing
