Yeah i tend to just ignore the previous sales showing lower and just put price i think is better...

for the make offer i just leave it at dans default no strength to be doing minimum

Thanks!

Gpexchange:
yeah the thing dey surprising but they get money sha so make Dem spend....

I am still wondering about these your high-figure sales. I find them somewhat surprising in that if you checked NameBio for comparable-keyword sales you'd see more low-priced sales, often less than $200.

Abeg what's the amount you typically set for "make offer" for those who might want to make offer instead of buying at BIN? Thanks.

palinco:
I have 73 names now. I have done so for almost all my names. When Afternic says existing listing, I usually put the sever 3 verification code, and after few minutes, it will be resolved.

Now, that's a good idea right there. Just that I also use the nameserver 3 slot for Dan verification.

MichealOlajide:


wow congrats.
still surprises me how you guys sell names while I'm still finding it difficult to sell one even after endless outbound.
Congrats boss

If you can raise the money, try to continue registering new names. Make sure you continue to study what makes a good domain name and why certain domains sell.

It helps to have some percentage of your sales proceeds devoted to new acquisitions and/or renewals when you start selling.

Just see outbound marketing as a way of creating awareness. More of the sales I made since the beginning of 2023 were inbound - some might be by people I had contacted in the past who later bought months later.

If I may add, offering discounts doesn't seem to work much anymore based on my results over the same period. I sold only one domain via that means since the start of 2023 and I am still offering them - I intend stopping soon, except something exceptional happens this month. It's better to let them make an offer if your price is beyond an end-user's budget, based on my observation.

Good luck!

Gpexchange:
I honestly just give it any price I feel is right like based on the time I wasted finding it and wat kind of industry it might have...and similar sales I have seen people sell names like that for......

And wen none of that data is around I just price based on nothing I close eye and randomly decide.. cause the way I have noticed how alot of this end users waste money on domains they don't even need ehn... No pity..cause what do u mean u pay 50k for domain and drop it in 1 year cause u don't feel the startup idea anymore.....and since inbound is a waiting game sometimes I want the price to be worth the wait cause months is a really long time....

I try to ignore the whole sell Tru rate at 2% or .1% . cause the main point is as long one get sold for good profit u would be fine so despite needing money sometimes I don't price low... patience no go kill person..... let my suffering continue...and I don't change it at all till expiration date..... But if it's too high make offer is there for them..... of course some might not see it but if the end user really needs it them go find am tire......

And I remember when u use to say you couldnt price past 100$ was kinda glad when I noticed u increased them nowadays.......

Thanks for this. And this your style is working really good for you!

Be like me sef go find a few domains that I intend keeping for years and slam them with better price. If I get two or three of these your high-figure sales in a year, soup don done be that.

As for the bold portion, I find that thing strange to understand. How do you buy a domain name for thousands of dollars and let it expire after one or two years? Well, that's good news for domainers sha.

Sale/s Report

Aio / Platform not ai sale oh na aio
HT: 5 Months
Drop reg

Got it from deleted list on Ed...Had to Google it's meaning... Saw All in one so I thought All in One Platform sounds nice... Plus Allinoneplatform,com was regged too...so I said why not..

Tho I did get 2 offers on 2 other names in March and April..both under 30 days reg each....one after all the messages and his explanations I accept he run... ........the other is not yet near what I want so no idea...woulda been nice to get 2 high sales a month for once .... Still not sure about the years direction plus it's the first time I sell (non geos) ..in Jan, March and April lol...those months are always empty for me .....

Wishing more sales to us all...and Congrats to all the recent sellers whona dey do well

Congratulations! This is massive!

Abeg, how do you determine prices?

I don't have a single name priced above 3k, if I remember correctly, and never sold any higher than 1888. Chances are that I have one or two domains that I could price high.

I guess you're probably also the person that sold that "owl" name, which I found surprising as well.

CraigMorrison:


Regarding the second one, if you check Google there are a lot of Martinez that is into landscaping using a longer version of the domain

So it seems the buyer decides to stand out from the crowd by acquiring Martinezlandscaping //com

Yeah, you're right.

But this is landscaping and their services don't command a lot of money from what I see. I have yet to have any luck with landscape-related names, including those that seemed so promising.

Some of the so-called landscaping companies I had seen during lead generation are more or less lawn care services.

palinco:
I don't think this is true. I always list first in Dan with BIN before I list with Afternic. I have had no issues from both sites.

Maybe you haven't done this for dozens of names. At some point, you must experience that issue - maybe except Afternic has improved their system in the last year.

Until I paused direct listing on Afternic last April, I used to have that issue of "existing listing" that would require me to contact support. An Afternic support agent even informed me once that listing first on DAN as a cause of the problem.

Mkingz:
Second one might be backlinks, plus it has some exact matches on google

Good point.

If you meant the "landscaping" name, that price seems unbelievable! I mean landscaping isn't really one of the "money" niches. Plus, Martinez isn't an English name although popular.

Please does anyone understand what could be in the minds of these buyers?

I screenshot these several days ago, maybe even over a week.

I just saw that it's included under "Instructions" on the Appointment Slip, as seen in the attached screenshot.

And, please what does "NIN MUST be validated"? How's that done?

I got captured last week and they never asked for passport.

Oh, thanks!

Does that mean you used a photo produced with your phone for the online application, please?

Please one more thing. Must the two passport photographs be the same as the one required when applying online?

I'm thinking of using an image taken with my phone, even though I have clear, well-lit passport photographs with white background.

When I uploaded a captured copy of the passport photo, I got complaints of ICAO proper lighting issues. Yet, I do not think a passport photo can be brighter than the one I had.

Note that I snapped the physical passport using my phone (instead of scanning). My phone has sharp cameras. I even had to turn on flash light to see if that would make a difference but none. So I was thinking if I could just take a photograph with my phone.

Yes, someone can...

Please I wish to know if a guarantor is still needed for a passport renewal?

From my readings and research, I think I would need NIN, birth certificate/age declaration, and local government certificate. But I am not clear on the guarantor aspect yet.

Thanks in anticipation.

MrPADDY:


Congratulations.
You can still list your new domains first on Dan and then Afternic separately without issues. Very simple procedure. If you list on Dan first, don't set the BIN price. Just MO. After listing successfully on Afternic, you then set the Dan BIN price. With this, you wouldn't have "existing listing" issues on Afternic.

Thanks, boss. That's a good idea!

PUO001:
Please how can one send automated customized message using Gmail please?

Please respond to this ....urgent please

If it's still relevant, you need a Chrome or Google Docs add-on on a laptop to do that - to the best of my knowledge. I am assuming you want to send bulk, customised emails.

If that's the case, YAMM and MailMeteor are two of the ones that still offers 50 free sends per day (24 hours). Read their documentation for information on customisation tags.

Mkingz:
Massive Congratulations on your sales, boss. For the Afternic sales, did you use Afternic nameservers? And do you list separately?

Thanks, boss.

Yeah, I listed separately but DAN nameservers were used. I used to list new acquisitions separately until around last April/May when I stopped due to inconvenience on Afternic.

I usually listed on DAN first due to promptness and often run into "existing listing" issues on Afternic when listing there. If I reported the existing listings, it usually took them some days to get a response and that might even be them asking for proof of ownership and waiting even longer. In a few cases, listing first on DAN was the cause of the problem.

Remaining First-Quarter Sales (February to March)

Name: Net//Powr (in king)
Source: Generated
SP: $688 (BIN)
Type: Inbound
Venue: Afternic
HT: 23+ months

Name: Fairways//Capital (in king)
Source: Generated
SP: $897 (BIN)
Type: Inbound
Venue: Afternic
HT: 19 months

Name: ai//pproach (in king)
Source: Generated
SP: $1,888 (BIN)
Type: Inbound
Venue: DAN
HT: 10 months

Name: Davie//Garage//Doors (in king)
Source: ED
SP: $350 (BIN)
Type: Inbound
Venue: DAN (via Distribution Network)
HT: 3 days

The first name was part of the domains I discounted along with the "play//bettr" name that I reported for the fourth quarter of last year.

As for the Fairways sale, it came less than 24 hours after the sale of the first name. I had decided to do an experiment that involved discounting certain names for a limited period (about two weeks). The domain sold a week to the day I applied the discount. (Although I generated the name, I found out that it had been registered and dropped in the past).

The ai//pproach name was a punt inspired by a reported sale of a similar word form. Many of the names I checked then were available, but I registered only three partly because I hadn't made a sale for almost three months at the time. It didn't even occur to me to share in case some people might be interested here. Practically all the good ones seem gone now.

There's another $495 LTO sales not included here because I have only received the first installment. I am mentioning it simply because it appeared the previous owner was trying to sell it for like six years without success. But I took the punt because the name looked promising to me and God did the rest!

Glory to God! More sales for all of us in Jesus name.

MatthiasChin:
Can someone throw more light on this?

I think I have read similar post(s) by the fellow in the past on X. But I have yet to buy into it, especially being resident in Nigeria.

It's a piece of advice that you could consider if you don't have a Nigerian address in your WHOIS information. But that's even exclusively for outbound purposes, in my opinion.

004gist:

If not money what are u relocating selling everything for?

Let's stop pretending

A sense of security, at least - even if it is a false sense of security.

Do you think kidnappers, "bandits" and what not will have such free hand in the UK?

Paraman:
stop spreading propaganda. Nigeria exported more than what we imported last year.

See kettle calling the pot black!

If your claim is true, why is foreign currency scarce? Why are multinationals leaving the country?

You are probably one of those party agents. Otherwise, you'd provide supporting data when countering a point.

Paraman:
Why do you think so?

If I may help with that, the country is exporting almost nothing apart from fuel. Even the petroleum products are being stolen!

Let a serious government start by working on just two things, power and security, and the bulk of this mess would be resolved. Other amenities like good road networks may follow those two.

It's when people produce that they can "export" and bring in foreign currency. Nigerians are even still clamouring for food importation despite all that God has endowed us with in this country - in part due to poor security and below-par power supply.

It is unsustainable to keep on pumping foreign currency into the market without it being used for productive activities. The funds could still end up with the same hoarders or another set.

Try dynadot appraisal

Thanks for the info!

But it seems this tool strays on the high side. I checked two domain names and both were priced in excess of 5k each! GD appraises similar names between 1k and 2k.

300wayne:
be like Godaddy don monetize thier appraisal tool ........ Abeg any alternative?

Omo, na so me sef see am this morning o. They give three free checks.

The tool's useful, though. But if I hear say I pay that kain money for automated appraisals.

I was logged out from the unofficial Whatsapp this evening. I had to download normal Whatsapp. Gosh! It was so boring

Lucky you. Some were not so lucky to get in again. Outright ban!

Good morning.

Has anyone here managed to sell a domain name that has higher-than-usual monthly views? I know some of these views may just be from bots.

The typical highest monthly views on my most-viewed domains (on Dan) are in the range 20-60. It's, therefore, unusual (for me) when you see a domain name doing 100-300 views in a month. I have two of such currently.

The first domain name that I experienced something similar with didn't sell in three years! At a time, I pointed it to a platform that showed ads on landing pages; I didn't earn a dime! That domain was a Geo, but the current two are not.

Please can someone advise me on what best to do with these domains?

Angelfrost:


Well, a floated currency not propped by loans is meant to fluctuate depending on how demand and supply affect it.

The aim now should be increasing the demand for the Naira whilst diminishing the need for foreign currencies.

This can only happen if importation is largely reduced in favor of exports.

Local production and consumption remain the way forward.

You meant the Naira that's already everywhere chasing fewer products. Or how else would you describe getting significantly lesser value for the same amount of money?

If local production is ongoing and ramped up (at affordable costs), demand for imports could reduce - especially that for food.

But, when the government doesn't encourage that local production with necessary amenities and adequate security, what are we talking about?

Hello fam

Has anyone bought usdt lately on Binance P2P, I just checked and everywhere was blank.

Have they ban us

Nigeria

Same here, but na sell I wan do that time sha.

I think they have removed the NGN option.

Dem yeye dey smell. These ones sef wan form relevance. Who dem be to wan arrest the guy? Abi dem don dey think say dem be USA now? Abeg, clear!

Naira hadn't depreciated anywhere near this level when they went after AbokFX. And what?

These people will just leave the substance and be chasing shadows. There are illegal (often foreign) miners operating in this country, for instance, what notable step has the House taken to tackle them? I can go on and on!
