Toor. It depends on your risk tolerance. I just made my first 5 figure sale this morning. Domain is just 3 days old. The most shocking part is that I don go do strong head go buy on SAV again. I am just praying they don't cancel it. I will share details about the name in 57 days time if everything goes well.
Domains on SAV are cheap but risky.

Omo, how do you do this thing! shocked

Congrats!

Hope u know most of her XYZ that she sold were already taken in 150+ extensions...she sells those ones for around 15k+usd...

She also has another category of XYZ sales taken in 53+ extensions....which she sells for around 2 to 5k usd.

Now d question is, ur one-word XYZ that u have; have u check how many extensions have they been registered?

Her sales aren't magic.... it's simple quantitative metrics.

I see ppl rushing to reg XYZ without due diligence.

Yeah, I very much knew that names sold by Swetha were taken in that many extensions. I researched about six of her xyz sales months ago.

I never made any reference to pricing my own .xyz domains like her; hence the use of "except" in the post you quoted. I just felt $1xx for a one-worder was low.

These sales aren't always about the number of extensions. The lqdty name (in xyz) that someone here sold for around 700+, if I remember correctly, was taken in just about 1-2 other extensions.

I was only asking for tips on how to price.

tldes.com

Could someone please give me tips on how to price .xyz domains? I have been doing it somewhat haphazardly.

What percentage of the estimated .com value (by GoDaddy) should one use? The sales reports on Namebio aren't encouraging, except for Swetha's sales.

Investor prices , most possibly that’s the winning bid in a sav auction.

You're right. I thought about the auction part, but I wondered who sells a one-worder for less than 200 bucks? huh

priceactionx:
I think Sav has the cheapest or close to cheapest (88 cent) xyz registration and renewal (8.47). So expect lots of domainers to buy in bucks. $300 can give you up to 330 names. So it's easy to sell up to 5 at low ball price within a year especially good names.

Those people probably got in early and were able to get many one-word domains and could afford to just let some go. It's hard to come by such domains for hand-regs.

If I have the kinds of names that I saw being sold for 1xx, I go lock up for better money o. I don't mind renewing for the same amount as "king" domains.

Business › Re: What To Do To Make Money Online? by U1(m): 11:28am On Jun 04, 2022

I have observed overtime that most "low-ball," single-word .xyz domain name sales reported on Namebio take place on Sav. I think you could even find some selling for less than $200.

Does anyone here have an idea why this is so?

All my mails since last week have been going to spam.

Only for me to resume today and the mail is still going to spam. ☹️☹️

I'm thinking an email warming tool might help to address this spam issue to an extent. I can't be definite about this yet until when I started using the email address that I recently decided to warm again.

You may test or read about the tool by GMass.

Stupid bank.
No wonder I can't buy domain yesterday.
Expect all banks to follow soon.

Some wey Alat (maybe Wema as a whole) done do already "codedly." Was trying to make a $13.90 payment the past week and the transaction was declined.

Support informed me when I contacted that the bank had barred international transactions on their Naira cards, without informing me (and maybe other customers as well).

76 domain sales.

Sold number 67 two times. In 2021 for 350 domain dropped..sold it again to another end user for 300 in 2022. Port size geo: around 120. Brandables: 300+.

Man, you are killing it! Omo, you are doing very well. I envy people like you o.

The domain you sold twice reminded me of one that I sold early last year or late 2020 that I saw as being available for registration this past week.

I made a mistake today. I was taking a nap when I checked my phone. I got an offer of $500 on DAN for a domain I listed for $3988. I wanted to counter with $2500. I never knew I was accepting the offer. The guy paid immediately. The thing pain me but I just have to allow the domain go in the spirit of fairness.

Congrats again on this sale, although I wonder if that's what you'd like to hear given the situation.

I was wondering if you could give an idea or tips on how you price your domains.

I know someone might suggest using GoDaddy tool, Namebio, etc. I do all that but I have never managed to price a domain higher than 2,999 (and I think it's just one or two).

What do you consider before opting for those 3,000+ price tags? Thanks in anticipation.

Yeah, they are enough to receive funds. Just fill bank name, account name, and account number. Payoneer will verify the details. And you are not receiving money from abroad. A merchant (Located in Nigeria) will credit your account. The merchants are in partnership with Payoneer.

You're the man! Thanks.

The interesting thing here is that I spent more than an hour on live chat yesterday for idea on how to do this. The agent simply concluded in the end that it's not possible.

Omo, you are God-sent o. I wasn't even going to consider the option of getting my money at the preposterous official rate, even after being told that withdrawing to a domiciliary account was impossible.

Guys, anyone with experience selling Ophthalmologist name? Or ever seen any of such sale. Do those guys buy names at all? Lol.

Never say never! The fact that sales are hardly seen in some niches doesn't mean there can never be any there.

Na God dey decide these things. I saw a "cleaningservices" Geo sale of like $400 recently, but I didn't sell any of the ones I registered in the past.

But make I talk true, I no dey look anything "opto," "optic," "eyecare," or "visioncare" twice these days o. cheesy

I think an ophthalmologist name would fall in that group as well.

Yeah. Withdrew one today. GTB domiciliary.

Thanks, bruh. How did you do it?

There were only three fields for bank account (bank name, account name, and account number). Are those enough to receive payments to a domiciliary account, bearing in mind that you usually need to indicate the intermediary bank (abroad) as well? That's what I found to be confusing.

Anyone that has received wire transfer before should have an idea of what I was trying to describe.

Thank God. It's seems they have settled their long time misunderstanding.
Who knows, The consistent sales of .xyz which is mostly on sav could prompt this.

So this is a thing? The two .xyz domains that God has helped me to sell were registered there - almost sold another weeks ago.

Interestingly, the only two brandables sold were also registered there!

7.5% commission
Net proceeds $69+
Venue: SH
According to SH, I am not suppose to receive anything from the sale of this name, because the Commission was $300 which was not up to the price the name sold for, but they had to remove re-target marketings after talking to their support.

Hold time 6 months+
Price $500

Re-target marketings on this name is caused the of the high Commission. Although it was my fault. I activated it.

These sales were all outbound.
We move...

More sales to us all

Congrats and more, bigger sales.

Omo, na SH enjoy these ones pass o. So their re-targeting was more important than the outbound marketing that you did? Maybe I didn't get it. huh

That's the official rate (or thereabouts) for all banks, I guess. I think it's been over 2-3 years since I got Payoneer exchanged at the official rate because of its ridiculousness.

Don't you have a domiciliary account to receive the payment or does Payoneer not send withdrawals to such an account? Thanks.
