@Mazizitonene i withdraw my comments i declare my solemn remorse boss...much respect boss

no wahala boss...we dey together

iCauseTrouble:
I just lost 2 sales now and I feel like sharing.
The first one expired last year, I didn't renew because I felt it is not worth it. The domain dropped day before yesterday. And I received an offer of $1250 from the domain yesterday but there is nothing I can do again because I don't own the domain any more.

The second domain also has expired. But I still have it listed at Afternic for $499. I received the mail from Afternic that it has sold for that price. I checked the name on whois and I saw it has expired since December but I can still redeem it.
The domain was registered with SAV and I have read how difficult it is to reach their customer support.
I sent a mail to them and I also opened a ticket asking them to help me redeem it even though I knew I was going to pay more. Their reply didn't come on time. I also sent a mail to them on Namepros but I was asked to go through their website. Eventually they replied yesterday's evening and told me the redemption of the domain will cost $80 and it will take 2 days. I expected it to be immediate because I was in similar situation last year with Epik. Rob asked me to pay $80 also and the domain was restored immediately.
To cut the whole story short, Afternic cancelled the sale now and I am sincerely disappointed with SAV for this.

Sorry for this miscalculation. I do strategic investing when it comes to domaining because it can be so painful when you start leaving money on the table.

Always understand that virtually every domain is valuable with age especially if you have the uncanny ability to pick good ones. The older the palm wine, the better for the elders.

person call me asshole yesterday

LOL!!! You should have replied with "Yes I agree but an asshole with a satisfying taste! Do you care?"

Good morning people, please if a domain is tagged registry premium domain on a registrar,will it be the same for all registrar?
It's a .co domain and I was hoping to register it with dynadot .co promo

From my experience "YES"

But the premium prices will be different across registrars

Thanks for the answer.

The real lesson here is that sav should be avoided by all serious domainers. Avoid sav like the plague, avoid it like covid19. A word is enough for the wise!

iCauseTrouble:
The $1250 own no even pain me. Na that SAV own pain me pass because the loss is avoidable if I had registered the domain with another registrar.

Painful !!
So sorry Bro.
But did you put a call across regarding the urgency. If you did and this still happened then ALL domainers will soon dump SAV

10 follow-ups? Congrats!
How many times did you change price?
And now many end users did you reach?

10 times. All the possible end users via manual outbound. Exactly 126. Many would fail to deliver..some may enter spam etc.

Sometimes end users don't matter...my fastest and best sales occur with names with small end users like 30 to 50. Depending on how strong the domain is. Like two word geo.

I've also sold names with 1 end users, 5, 10, 15 etc. But don't do this if you don't know what u r doing.

Meanwhile, names with 200 to 300 to 500 to 600 end users end most times for me end up not being sold. I've outbounded names with more than 600 users nd not sold...nd all manually.

Though, this yr my ass is already paining me! So I'm more tactical...with regging since I can't play d number game as I'm d only one outbounding...so names I reg undergo thorough scrutiny. Portfolio size now around 70 as many drop.

1. Any 2019 to 2021 name I don't reg possibility that my fellow domainer has outbounded it before is almost 98%. U can check if a domain has just being outbounded last year by checking it's DNS footprint.....many services on the web to do so. if u see Dan, Epik for DNS history.. torr run for ur life na our fellow 9ja guy or Indian guy outbound am nd eno sell.

Although, u ft reg cause even junk names and non-virgin names(outbounded recently) too dey sell...many factors including grace...all boils down to ur choice. I only reg a name that has been outbounded before if it's a very strong one. E.g. NewyorkAttorney/king. I'd jst keep it...for keeps sake and outbound after severalmonths.

2. I don't reg names that already another domainer has the similar version...many ways to check using Whois..... U see name with city+lawyer. I check whether attorney, attorneys, lawyers is active for sale by another fellow domainer. Also check d reverse... Lawyer+city too to see too. Although I've never sold the reverse version of name before that is service+city.

And few other test I run b4 regging ... 3500naira no be small money to dey reg junks..except u dey play d number game...every domainer with their strategies...may God help all of us.

Last month I sold 4 names and made 800usd. And most of my sales happens during d first outbound.

You legit

Learner47 I admire your thought process and techniques. Can you list the few go-to tools you use in domain analysis before reg?

Fine tips

halogate:
Wonderful..u are indeed not a learner. You are absolutely right..there is no room to waste funds.

I also use this strategy with someone additional conditions.

1. I usually start from 2018/2017 and move downwards. Reason being.. in that space of 3/4yrs..new businesses may have sprug up and the last outbound would have been 3/4years ago..when last did u read ur mail from 2018

2. I always check hosterstats to see where and when it was last hosted.
If it was last hosted on a markplace like DAN, I'll check for the name on DAN. I "may" decide to shortlist or reg it..if and only if the previous owner has more than 5000names listed on DAN..most times I just avoid it.
"When" must tally with that of domaintools.. plus maximum of 2drops.

3. I prefer to watchlist the ones with ACR..so I check if the domain was last listed for sale or a was a functioning site. I prefer the one that was previously a functioning site Obviously nobody owned it afterwards.

4. The bigger the city..the better, I only reg unpopular cities only if the service is hot, its 2 words and I'm still seeing the city name when I get to page 5 on Google.

5. I usually watchlist first..then streamline to 2-3 for regging. I don't have power for "s" matter , so I avoid plurals altogether.

Boss Khalifah has explained how check for variations to help streamline your choice..find it if u need it.

PS: Tis is strictly my own strategy, it by no means guarantees any sale. Just wanted to add to what @Learn has already stated.
PSS: other factors like SV, CPC, etc are also very important.
