Branduche..... The Senior Master .....It's quite long we have seen you here. It's good to have you here again.

Sapiosexuality:
The domain must be unlocked from where it is and you must have their authorization code. But first, hope you know you have to pay for that. More like renewal fee.

SanThiago:
Ahhh.. Pay again.. No probs, just give me d details of how its done let me see if i can afford it.

Sapiosexuality:
Is the name still in 60 days lock to begin with?

I'll be doing a top pick of 10 names from some of my names that has sold over the years (3 years range) and are now a developed and fully working website.
It gladens my heart when a name I sold in time past is properly developed and put to good use. Hence I'll be do this review of my top 10 picks from my sold names that sold over the period of 3 years - to date, as the year comes to an end.
Coming soon.

Review

Like I mentioned yesterday about doing a top 10 review of some of my sold names that were sold in the last 3 years and fully developed as an active website. The reason for this review is to share my insight and probably hope it's beneficial to someone.

Not all domain names we sale develops to be used as fully functional websites overtime, some are developed to an active website right away after it sold, some takes a couple of weeks, months or even years to be built into an active website bar the users choices and preference, others never get to become any websites at all as buyer or current name owner may opt to redirect name to their current website or might get confused on what exactly to do with name or might not fully achieve the purpose/project in mind while purchasing name, some names might just be laying there as a parking page most of the time, some might be dropped after some time due to failed project planning or other issues, hence it is a good to see a name u sold finally becoming something useful and achieving some sort of purpose as it brings some satisfaction with it for u as the seller. Thus whether a name becomes something after being sold or not it doesn't really matter that much as about 65 - 70% domains sold end up as parking pages or dropped after the first year of purchase all these happens for various reasons.

Caveat : I'm more into Brandable Names so this review is brandable Names based and I hope that someone might want to do for Geo names someday to benefit the geo peeps but generally anyone can gain a little insight from here too.

Some of these names were sold across 2018, 2019 and 2020 hence I'll mention that as I review each name. There are some names I would have loved to mention but when I checked on them the website is either not working properly or no longer existing hence I decided to stick with those I sold that are have been functioning over time as websites till date.

1. Innotera//dot//com

I hand registered this name in 2020, this hand registration was inspired by the sale of the name innoterra//dot//com (with a double "rr" on Squadhelp marketplace, "Terra" which means "Earth" seems to be the better used term to "Tera" which seems to be the more inferior and less used term. Hence when I registered Innotera//dot//com I wasn't very confident about the name. I initially submitted it to squadhelp and it was rejected back then, so afterwards I decided to list it as basic premium in squadhelp (Basic premium feature is currently scrapped by SH) and paid for the basic premium logo fee... After a couple of months at squadhelp I decided to upgrade name to SH premium listing at and this time it was accepted for as premium listing and it sold 2 months later for $1799, took close to 8 months to achieve a sale on this name. It's currently developed website and the company is an Ad management and e-commerce focused Start-up Accelerator.

2. SwiftRestore//dot//com

Name was registered in early 2019, picked from the expireddomains drop. Well this name was a wierd one cause i can't really single out any reason I regged name back then except for the fact it has Swift in it and kind of relays a good synergy when you pronounce it. Listed it on Afternic and it sold within a month for $750. I felt this was a lucky sale cos I wouldn't know what I would have done with name if it didn't sale. It was after the sale I realised it has more meaning to it as name was bought by a swift restoration and cleaning company. Who specializes on restoring, reviving or cleaning up old houses, properties or areas that need cleaning and proper arrangement.

3. BlockAura//dot//com

Registered name in 2018, at the peak of the crypto craze, it was a hand registration inspired from the "Block" keyword which refers as a Blockchain acronym back then. Now I had to hold this name for 1year plus and renewed it at some point but after the crypto vibe fizzled it seemed like the name was never going to sale so i slashed the listed price to around $150 and it sold on Afternic many months later. Little did I know I had sold it for cheap until it was developed into a fully functional website, it was bought by a Blockchain Company that majors on smart contracts and security tokens asset.

4. MetricLion//dot//com

Registered name in 2019 from expireddomains, really liked this name, cos it has has different applicability to it and a universal appeal, hence I first listed it on Dan for $1,250. Recieved an offer of $350 which I countered with $750. Never heard from the buyer again. After a while I Regretted not accepting the initial offer, but decided to hold on name for long, so increased the bin to $1795 on Dan and afternic. It later sold after many months on Afternic at BIN price. Name is currently used by a technology company that specializes in software development, Fintech and app/web development services.

5. Kanibi//dot//com

Hand registered name in 2018, off the back of a Cannabis/Cbd wave, regged name after the sale of kanabi dot com at Sedo then which sold for $10k and Kaniba dot com which sold on Brandbucket for $1895 was inspired by both of these sales, listed name on brandpa and it sold there many months later for $1699 this remains my one and only sale on brandpa till date. Name is currently being used as a cannabis products online store and CBD nutrition education centre.

N/B : Had to use the quote method strategy to post this review cos its long and to avoid another bot ban.

Number 6 - 10 names review to be updated soon.



Peace

Review of sold domains that have been developed into websites

SanThiago:
Not sure how to check that..

Sapiosexuality:
How old are the names? And besides you can check the number of days left before renewal. Substract it from 365.

SanThiago:
Ok.. I think the one i just bought is old enough. I saw something like 2013 before i bought from the WBY section of deleted domains.

Sapiosexuality:
No, actually it starts counting from when you bought it. What registrar are you using?

SanThiago:


Using namesilo. Just bought it this week

Sapiosexuality:
Then relax. To see that on Namesilo click on Manage my domains. You'd see the domains and number of days left to expire. Hope you've joined Namepros?

Heroclitus:
Bro,I mailed you,please reply my mail

ElonMosque:
Resend mail. Thanks

ollybode:
I did a little research before I reg couple of .realty I have in my portfolio. So I already know the end users to pitch before I registered them.
I sent the first batch of mails to all of them, fortunately the owner of homerunrealty.com showed interest by offering $125, I countered the offer to $350, he remains silence then I send him a follow up, to up his offer, he later offer $245 which I accepted.

I got good open rate on others but none signify interest, I just sent them a follow up promo emails a few minutes ago, hope something good will come out of it.
All in all, with that single sale I have more than 100% roi on my collections of .realty and I hope I will be able to sell one or two before renewal.
.realty renewal is so costly am not thinking of renewing them hence I will let them go cheap.

ablemanzy:
Good morning house and happy New year in advance. Please the person that asked me to DM him as regards to the blog journey I want to embark. What's your email address sir.

SanThiago:
I'm using epik for the first time. I just registered a domain name, the amount has been deducted from my bank balance but the domain is not appearing in my dashboard. The amount deducted from my acct is showing under "in store credit balances" in my dashboard.

I don't really understand this, should i be worried?

Sapiosexuality:
I don't know. I'm yet to buy from Epik. But you can always ask their customer care. They have an answer for everything.
