Please, this is vague to me. How will they know this? How will they know I already started negotiations? I mean, if I already started negotiation with a prospective buyer and we eventually settled at my BIN price, all the buyer then does is go to the landing page and click that BIN. This will still be the same with someone who just walked by on his own, saw the domain, and clicked BIN. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Lol... It is natural for people to offer a very low amount when asked to make an offer. But that really depends on who you're dealing with, last week a Realtor offered $300 for a domain I listed for $399 (she didn't even know the BIN). So if your buyer makes 'peanuts' from his/her business, they will offer you peanuts. I got an offer of $25 yesterday from a (STATE in the US)+drone/com, if na yeye name I for counter with $100 but I'm definitely keeping that domain for a long time. So if you get a $50 offer, weigh the domain and counter with $200 or $150, my counter for this kind offer usually go like MAKE IT $150 AND WE HAVE A DEAL, if the person is really interested, he will offer around $100.


In another news, I woke up to a $200 offer which I accepted. Bought with Network Solutions $1 promo 2days ago, I did Facebook outbound yesterday, no positive response but one of them went ahead to make the offer without contacting me.
Note to newbies, don't sit and wait for $500+ sales, don't be greedy and don't counter offers unnecessarily, if the offer is good enough, accept and move to the next domain. Sales (no matter the amount) will boost your morale and keep you going in this business, domains expire everyday, target at least 1 domain registration daily.

Chibenze:

PRAISE THE LORD
Brethren The LORD Is Good.

I just received my alert for last week sale today.

And the LORD Gave me another sale of $50 today.
Undeveloped just alerted me of the received payment.
The domain was registered for $1, and bought by the only end user available for it...

Will reveal the name once payment has been sent to me

So FAR AS MY GOD LIVES, AND HEAVEN IS ALIVE
I Shall report more sales
AMEN

golamike:
From my experience, the length of "expiry days" doesn't really count. If it's a good domain it will sell. My very first sale came from a domain I registered after 20+ days of dropping. Sold it after 2 weeks @ $400. If the name is good, it will sell come what may. But always do your due diligence before taking a decision. All the best

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.

otoboson:
Congrats, I see that you also applied THE TRICK I use after a potential buyer reads my mail/message and ignore. Lol, 'WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE US AN OFFER?' works every time, although many will say NO but at least you will know for sure that they're not interested. Also, you will get a low offer most times if they say yes, but at least you can sell (IF THE OFFER IS ACCEPTABLE FOR THE VALUE OF THE DOMAIN) and move to the next.

So I got my beastly A3 yesterday, buh had to umiexplore very lately
The very first thing that got my attention was how crisp and responsive the screen was, the last time I actually got to type this fast was on a phone with a physical keyboard, you hardly select the wrong letter too..
The screen resolution is so very good for an HD+ device, my expectations were actually way lower than this.the screen also carries a high nit of light emission, as I was even able to view the screen under direct sunlight,not like on ma previous device where especially I always have to squint my eyes to see while outdoor,in addition the emission from the screen is soft on the eyes while indoors..
The device came 80% charged, and the charger is a really quick one too, tho I don't know exact time it took to top up, I just plugged the charger and went in to have a change and back and the beast was all ready sitting at 100% waiting for me...
The sound quality too is dope, the phone as well records a very good sound too, cos I made a call to my friend and after we finished talking he asked if I was using a blackberry, I had a to ask why and he said the sound quality at his end is "really clean" , never knew blackberry has that reputation..
And the camera "lit" , picture samples coming in later....
