Big congrats

Out of the 400 .xyz u registered in 21/22 how many are u still holding now?

U1:
SOLD

Name: Use//Ember [COM]
Price: $399
Sale Venue: Spaceship
Type: Outbound/Inbound
Source: ED
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.


Name: oxy//gn [XYZ]
Price: $1,888
Sale Venue: Afternic
Type: Inbound
Source: ?
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.

Vikkoh:
Bossman what was the inspiration behind picking Use///Ember?

bizbro:
Atom 5.99 offer.

Oshiofe:
dem no allow me register again after registering one, I thought they said 3 per customer

U1:
I'd say the inspiration was probably gpexchange - who, by the way, was also a major inspiration for hiking some prices towards the end of last year. I had my first sales higher than $1,888 after that hike.

One of gpexchange's sales reported here was Get///Calico (or something like that). I found out from my readings that companies sometimes turn to alternatives like that if they can't get the main keyword - Calico, in this case. Some companies who even have the main keyword may also want variations of it.

I also found out that "use" and "go" were among words that were sometimes used, apart from "get."

I'd have priced the domain much higher but for the low-value comparable sales in Afternic records and the fact that the .co was forwarded to a coffee business. Plus, the domain was registered the previous year and dropped.

What has been your average portfolio size over the years you started domaining?

JamParkMe:
My first domain sale ever lol

Flipmoxie:
You are a star! Congratulations.

If you've been reading and studying domain business from that time, you'll definitely know what works by now.

Your investment is less than $100. You can now strategize. Don't overbuy. Get short domains like the one you just sold.
