Sorry about this, one of the domaining lessons.

I don't have the full details involved but in my opinion, you should have attempted to reach out directly to the seller yourself before replying, you may be able to get it off the seller way cheaper and make some instant profits with it, who knows.

I tried. Through registrant form. No reply. And the fact that he even paid without listing anywhere is even surprising.

I had deliberately avoided reply or acknowledging the offer for more than 10 days until a snr broker had to reach out. I actually or was hoping to just go silent , delete my listing on afternic of 18999 which the buyer had seen to make the offfer and patiently wait it out for the next 5 to 6 months if the name would silently return to the open market. I realized I was internalizing the worst possible scenarios as far as the name and owner are concern. It just didn't seat well . Where is our guy, Khalifa by the way, anyone have any information of him. It's uncanny to see an active member on the thread go to a drastic silence like that. It weighs on me sometimes.

Pain do come like a wrecking disappointment. When u second guess on a name and delay because of over analysis and choosing doubt over ur initial jubilation of winning. Auction was won at 485 dollar.. Chai.

BOOKWORMLUX:
You don't need to ask anyone to know if boost is on
Just check under your settings
Seems you activated it without even knowing

always thought is for some specific domains you want and not your entire portfolio.

You are right.

bizbro:
Congrats, what inspired you to list at that price?

Thanks. The endusers validated it when I researched it before hoping I would catch it when it dropped.
I just felt it was an asset. I own many other kitchen and bath that I let them expire or list within 450 to 750 yet just there.

BOOKWORMLUX:
No way they'll charge 20% if boost isn't turned on
Better go and confirm your settings

They gave vague response. I have just ask a direct question if boost is on

Calling her a "pretty lady" while reporting her bad take is the actual problem. Beauty isn't a credential — and prettiness doesn't make foolishness more palatable.

..

Kanz95:
That means boost is on...congrats anyway

..that's just bullcock.. I have never put that feature On for any of my domains. I have read somewhere it's an empty feature besides this domain name is a geo name. I am just happy for the win. It's all that count at this point even though that's not fare. Do you think I should raise a ticket?

Oshiofe:
congratulations. you didn't use afternic lander on the name ?

I wonder O.. I did O.. A whole 20 percent

James39:
Congratulations ooo
This is huge

Was it outbound?

No. Inbound.

Outbound for such names are usually around 350 to 750 dollars

Undeserving.. Pls Help Thank Baba God on my behalf.
Much needed sale.

HT: 11 Months
Inbound

aywhy93:
That's not too bad in my opinion, though, it depends on the STR of those premium names. How many are they if I may ask?

380... I have had to move about 200 to Space for visibility ( Lander)


Most aren't Premium but service related like 70%

aywhy93:
I have some Premium and Sapphire Domains on ATOM, 70+ altogether. But I have been feeling pessimistic towards Atom lately, it just seems like they are never gonna sell any of these names, lots of datapoints but no real exposure/value to me, I've gotten a few offers but no success on the platform.

Does anyone feel the same way about them? I am thinking of moving all my premium domains to Afternic instead i.e. pointing the NS to afternic but will still be listed on Atom as Plus/Standard domains. Is that a better strategy..? Also, doesn't seem like most domainers here find success on Atom, most of the reported sales here are Afternic/Spaceship. General issue eh?

I often ask this question under my breath. I hope this year is different.. Sold one 2024, blank 2025 and one just last month..

How much per

U1:
Given the options, I am more likely to pick the "supply" one. Just saying, not to make you feel bad.

I am good.. Didn't regret it. I have similar good names in my estimation but don't know what to do with them. End user unresponsiveness is golden

Nathansmith:
Kitchenandbathsupply was a solid one. Should have held regardless.

Agreed, sometimes renewal vs new registrations requires one choice.. Anyways, maybe it's because I also own the ...studio.com version as against the supply that dropped

U1:
Congrats on your sale! I'm happy for you.

In fact, that your power washing name dey give me one kind inspiration. I have a somewhat similar name (similar niche) that I have let expire after one renewal. It's like I might still be able to renew it - will check later.

.

I wonder why it took long to sell, it's like they could do with alternative names for much lower.. This one probably bought because of the 6 months lto... I had kitchenandbathsupply that I let expire after some few attempted outbounds. They have picked it up and running a biz on it like this.

Sold KingsPowerWashing.com for $750 — two weeks ago.
Then today, MyFirstResume/com sold : BIN for $1,444!
A big thanks to Unstoppable for their promotional 50% transfer offset they ran last year (1-year duration). Without that deal, I wouldn't have renewed Myfirstresume/com — the one that just sold. Before these two sales, I had been in a dry spell for 10 months. The struggle!
God Be Praised.

What did your guy get out of this deception.

Ablesam171:
Lol, this gender can manipulate the devil!!!
While dating my then gf, her friend called to plan how to make her new bf (who another friend of theirs hooked her up with) to propose fast because she found out that the guy has 4 houses in choice locations in Lagos, Asaba and Benin, which means the guy is doing well so to her, the guy is a great catch.
The guy is a young man that's her age mate (late twenties) and a IJGB who couldn't return back to Europe because of COVID-19 lockdown.


The plan was to get a well to do guy to be chatting and calling her propose marriage.

My gf asked me to help her friend so i gave her the contact of one of my yeye guy we like woman well well and i know sey the yeye guy go do am because him go dey think sey him go fit try him luck to collect puna.
This my friend fits the profile she wants because the guy is a tik tok guy that owns 3 furniture showrooms and guyman dey sell furniture well well.

Now each she's chatting the guy (my friend), she makes sure that her bf always sees the chat by leaving her phone carelessly around and when he calls she makes sure it's in the presence of her bf every time the guy (my friend) calls, he's always talking about how she's a wife material and that he wants to come and see her family to discuss marriage.
Omo the plan worked oooo. For like 5 weeks the guy kept calling and disturbing her.

Now remember, this IJGB is stocked in Nigeria because of COVID-19 lockdown.

All of a sudden the guy proposed, did an elaborate engagement party after lockdown then travelled back abroad.
6 months after guyman is back to Nigeria for civil, traditional and church marriage.
1 year into the marriage the lady is already in Europe.
Guess what she told my girl? My life went exactly how I planned it.

Now for the man mind he's in charge not knowing he's being manipulated.
This is the life most men live without knowing.

The worst part of it is that the lady was in a relationship before she met the IJGB, na one time she leave the guy calling him a bricklayer (he's actually a struggling building technology graduate).

I no dey pity women when men outsmart them because them dey always try to manipulate everybody.
She even told the guy that they never dated.

aywhy93:
It was resolving to the website, even during the auction, i guess that's the motivation behind the heavy bids to start with.

How is that possible. Even closeout don't.

Learner47:
That was fast. How did the owner know about auctions..na wao. Omor mehn!

Guy man now knows what digital real estate is. If u loose guard....

Learner47:
this is funny mehn! It's quite funny. Domainers have money. Na for namecheap, the two bidders just dey pressure themselves.

I think these guys are bored, and use this to catch fun! Like a payback or something..Like it's not about the name. Them just wan cast each other.

must have been the owner.. It's landing on the business. Now a website.. Money dea

Nice one.. Even our girls are lowkey turning TikTok to onlyfans.. Worrying, there is quite a lot of them. And you know what they say about seemingly majority.

Senkasa:
I need 2 solutions guys..

1. I sent a mail and 2 or 3 people clicked the link.. what convincing email can i send these 2 that will make them go buy my name?

2. What can i reply someone that said "No thanks" so they will change their mind?

"Ok. Thanks. "

edoman2016:
If you make sale of a domain within your first free transfer year, you will pay $11.05 to get authorization code for the domain.

It is still a fair deal.

Fair doesn't describe it. It is by far a sweet deal.

Bea1234:
Please can you help me transfer some names?

Up to 50 names! Free Transfer is mind boggling. Simply unbelievable and a huge relief for me. That's literally like a 500 dollars sales notif. Thanks to @Rankett for this info

Reggzy:
ok,

for free ? Buh why am I seeing half the price.. Around 5dollars?

marksburg:
I thought of it tbh. I just considered it to be unethical and besides it might not change anything at that point

marksburg:
Like they say, they are the neccessary evil. Hopefully others become very competitive at some point.

Did you not consider changing the nameservers during the negotiations? Or would it have led to some infractions by afternic?

marksburg:
No, I did not.

Chaiii.. Afternic with their cutlass. It's essential still 2500. They remain a force in the industry. All good.

That is domaining for you, expect the unexpected. Massive Congratulations. Back with a bang!

tranxo:
Only USD account number.changed

Ok. Thanks. I use their GBP
