Sale report

Name: AC/Repair/Riverside (in king)
SP: $179
Venue: Afternic
HT: 11+ months

This is probably my closest sale to expiration! It's supposed to expire this month and I have taken my mind off it completely, like several others that I have discounted to the last.

The landing page at Dan was showing $299. I just put that price when I couldn't sell even for $100. Not even one indication of interest, if I remember correctly. I forgot the price at Afternic was still showing one that I used for a discounted offer.

Thank God for this unexpected sale! More sales for us all.

Bro do you use spamzilla while looking at metrics for expired domains? Is it free from your end? Cos they are asking for subscription. Any other way to get around it?

I don't use the tool because I currently don't bother much about the metrics.

I used the limited Majestic functionality on ED years ago but I didn't get any meaningful results back then. The full tool also needed a subscription and I didn't have the money required to spare.

I mostly rely on ED info and Keywords Everywhere (for keyword domain names), plus spam score check, for expired domain registrations.

MrPADDY:
Users have challenges linking the new USD account issued by Grey to Payoneer accounts. Moreso, the USD account doesn't accept ACH transfer, only Wire/SWIFT transfer. It's better to link the GBP account.

Withdrawing from Payoneer directly to local bank account will result in loss of hard earned funds. The current exchange rate favors dollar currency. Therefore converting funds to dollar at Grey to withdraw at black market rate to your local bank account is additional advantage as attested by other members in the preceding comments.

I see where you're coming from. But the bold isn't necessarily correct if the local bank account you're withdrawing to is a domiciliary account. Or what do you think?

donsharwama:
Good Morning..

Please I want to ask a question.

When using ED and in the Dmoz column, there's a YES there, what does it mean?

I've tried to readup and I'm still not clear about what it means or d effect it has on a domain name.

I'll be glad if sm1 can explain.

Thanks

It simply means that such a domain name is listed in the DMOZ directory, I think. This used to mean a lot for SEO years back, maybe even now.

MrPADDY:
Better to link Grey GBP account on Payoneer account for withdrawal. Then at Grey, convert from pound to dollar and withdraw to local bank account.

See this guy's video

If one would still convert to dollar on Grey before withdrawing to local bank, wouldn't it be better to simply withdraw dollar from Payoneer to local bank account? Just thinking.

Luckily, I earn daily. I work as a content writer and get paid daily. Anywhere from 3k to 10k per day...sometimes as high as 30k per day. Once alert comes in for the day, I will remove either 1k or 2k for savings....i no dey chop pass 2k each day as a bachelor. Once month ends, I still have a minimum of 50k savings wey i no dey touch plus excess of like 30k, bills paid too....sha its good to work remotely o but it affects my social life

Forget social life. Abeg, show me how you do it.

I can relate with some are "lucky and doing great." But still, don't give up. Be strong.

Life is a mystery. Many of us have our secret challenges. We just have to keep moving and doing the little we can while leaving everything to God to cap with His favour and blessings.

It will get better. Be hopeful.

Just imagine!

Congrats on your sales, Vikkoh and Heyzee5. More of them.

If I were you, Vikkoh, I'd research and register at least 10 more XYZ domain names from this sale. That's especially if I don't currently have up to that, as in your case.

I hope I remember this story; The Cable just lost some rep because of this. Not that I rated it highly before now, though.

How about someone who makes $15/hr working 40hrs a week freelancing and has a potential to double the income in a year by getting more certifications. Is migration still a good idea?

Please could you give a hint of the area you freelance in? Thanks.

BOOKWORMLUX:
No
Can only see the mails I sent using the main Gmail app
But all those I sent using boomerang have disappeared

That's strange. The emails I sent during the brief period I used that app always reflected in my default inbox, including drafts.

Sorry, can't help on this.

One of the things we don't yet know regarding this Dan-GoDaddy merger is whether DAN would still continue to maintain push accounts at other registrars.

BOOKWORMLUX:
You didn't answer me
Have you changed device and didn't lose your messages?

I'm trying to know the cause of my losing all my mails

It's a painful thing and I don't even know where to start from

I don't get what you meant by losing all your emails. Were also unable to view all sent emails using the main Gmail app?

The new Dan/GoDaddy lander!

Let's hope this changes the narrative for the better for all of us!

I've got about 20 views on one of my domains(geo) on Dan.it was 18 yesterday, could it be one of the endusers is interested in the name?

Cc crazeworld rankett U1

I see that you have been answered already. Those views count for little or nothing.

My latest .xyz sale had just 3 views the previous month and 2 in the sale month. Meanwhile, I have several others doing about 10 times or more than that still unsold.

There's also this "footcare" domain that I have. It's monthly views since registrations have mostly, if not always, been in three digits. Yet, it remains unsold after outbound. The leads are very few, however.

JohnnA1:
By clicking the apply button... it seems you have to add the name first, and then, click the optimise button for the option.

Select the domain name(s) in your portfolio that want to add and then click the "Promote Domains" drop-down to see the option to submit for the auctions.

Abeg, who fit help me call an attorney in the U.S., please?

Fear dey catch me small for this one. Besides, I haven't had awesome results from calling potential buyers.

JohnnA1:
You sure this is on? I tried to apply, na my domains he dey go, with no instructions on what to do or form to fill?

It's what I saw on the site.

If I may ask, how did you try to apply?

I thought this may interest those who might not be aware and are open to selling any eligible new gTLD domain names in their portfolio via auctions .

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Picked from Ed?

Bigman02:
Boss picked from ED?

Not really. I "generated" the name, but it appeared to have dropped before then and so was available at the time. Can't remember clearly right now.

Glory to God for the sale!

This one is a reminder that GoDaddy's acquisition of Dan is a bitter-sweet one - increased trust and possibly higher commissions. Afternic/GoDaddy basically got 60 bucks off this just for using them as an escrow!

Well, na still profit sha.

Lyion1:
Thanks boss � though I'm a beginner apart from expireddomains dot net where again can I see expired domain

You don't need anywhere else. That is enough for most of us.

If you have more money to play around, you can try GoDaddy Auctions/Closeouts. Google is your friend.

Lyion1:
Hello, sorry can I receive money from afternic with Payoneer account or Skrill account

You can receive payment with Payoneer using the provided US bank account. But you'd need to contact support to have the option enabled for you.

It may help to be diplomatic or courteous when asking. Don't ask as if it's your right.

gentlewind:
Congrats bro! which tool(s) do you use to check the spam score

There are several out there, but I mostly use dapachecker dot org. As the name suggests, this tool (and some others) also shows DA and PA.

ElonMosque, I see you! It's been a while.

therealMcCain:
Congrats!! This is huge

For our learning, how did you determine that the domain had high worth.

I ask because if you didn't know, you probably won't have been able to negotiate from 400 to this sale price.

You would have yielded to the 400 or mid way

Bless you for that question! That's just what I was about asking AwesomeDuru. I hope he answers.

I have several names I am thinking of holding for years. But somehow, I don't think I have a single domain name that I priced up to $3k.

symbuul:
Ed?

Yes.

Babalakin:
congrats bro. If I may ask, pls what made u register this name. I see it's an inbound sale, did you at least do 1 or 2 outbounds .

Thanks, boss.

Let me give you three reasons why I registered the name:

1. The keyword "capital"
2. Google search(es) showed that some companies include the full keyword in their names.
3. As a bonus, I found that Arda has a nice meaning in Turkish (sceptre).

I might have held out for a higher amount, but the spam score was a little high for me. By the way, I only started checking this metric just like 3-4 months ago.
