Massive congratulations on your sales, did one of the prospect you contact reach out to you after 2yrs or you outbound the name recently? more massive sales to us all

Yes.. Inbound after two yrs.. Not sure if he ever opened the message, but this time around he needed it to harmonize another branch being opened.

Congratulations to me 🤣🤣😭.. And my gratitude to the creator of the universe. I say thank you Elohim.

HT:2yr 9m.

i managed to outbound to about 4 or 5 end users in 2024. But none bite, including the new owner.. I just rest and started renewing and moved the price to S^2599

( mastertechautorepair in king)
Today makes it the 5th day of silence game and quite frankly I was beginning to think he has gone cold for good. But immediately I accepted his offer to test the waters and hopefully close the sale, He paid in less than 15 minutes. I am glad all the same.. He rescued me from complete bankruptcy a bit.. Thank you all for the encouragement and support. We will celebrate u soon as well..

Nice move...! I equally have only two names;
. Reactivation .si
Voiceful. si ( funny enough the .com extension is listed for $145k).

What do you think should be the ideal price to list these two names?

The .com and possibly.ai use strengthens .si

If they happen to be on the aftermarket. The listing price should be around 4999 , otherwise u could moonshot to low-end 5 figures if its major ext are developed..

Mine are crossexam.si / and brainswarm/ .. The one I'm defaulty on is extras/

We can only hope at this point

I knew the time this guy was shouting about investing on dot SI domains. About 3 months ago or so. I didn't take him much seriously then.

Though I later invested in few.

When you hear about trends, run your research on it and invest early if you're convinced.

And researching is one big way to get convinced or not.

Time to invest on dot SI is now. But don't go for a buying spree

Wow, such a sweet name! Finding it hard to take this advice, o. 😂

I’m broke like this, and honestly, my names aren’t even that outstanding. I just spent my last ₦1m on .si domains. Out of the roughly 80 names I have, the only outstanding ones are the three I won at auction and maybe five others I researched.

There’s even one I won at auction but have decided to default on payment because I genuinely can’t afford it. I won two: one at $160 and the other at $325. The $160 name is more valuable, so I decided to pay for that one.

I just hope the penalty from Atom won’t be crazy. The following day, I won another one at $110 and paid for it.

And officially, I have declared bankruptcy. 😂😭

It’s now a waiting-and-praying game.

Inbound... Great name.

Brandconsultany:
Just so you know you are not the only one who missed out on the .SI trend take a look at the image, it's my X (Twitter) chat I had where someone offered those names to me for $120 each which I could have offered $100 or even $90 and the person would had gladly accepted because he urgently needed money at the moment.

U must have used beer to sleep in the wake of si.. I surely would have. We move..

Brandconsultany:
I get it bro but if you ask me there still some good names available and also two word names.

I get your point, and yes, there are still good two-word names out there. I found a few myself today. But that's not quite the point I'm making. Two word names don't rank with one-word names; they're a step down, and far more speculative. The one word .si names were there for the taking not long ago, and many of us, me included, held back out of doubt and skepticism. Now they're gone. It's the same mistake early domainers made with .com in the early days of the web, and we repeated it. Good luck to us, we will definitely need it

It kinda hurts to have been blind to si. In hindsight it kinda makes sense to have at least been open or even dwell on the thought. But, no; it's always following the crowd mentality that limits other perspectives.. The risk taker deserves his pay.

From Elon Musk. Not late to dive into dot SI domains or keyword + SI. I've bought some including nuw.si and still buying. Get some if you can. Buy and hold for now.

Nuw... Like it

.. I got exer. , decid. Acqui.

It's was what could lay my hands on.. Including authent. Plus many other low value 2 words.. I also delve into the risky "Super" prefixe.. Like superkillswitch. com superguardrails. com and few others

I took BestVoiceAi. Doesn't look trademarked to me. Fingers crossed.

No this doesn't. Good thinking. Good luck with it

I'm quoting my recent comment, where I mentioned a domain that's getting attention lately due to the SI hype. Yeah, that's the name that just sold. I kinda have mixed feelings about this sale. Why? There are lots of things going on with the name. So here is the whole gist!

I remember I have posted on this thread several times whenever DreamHost have FREE domains up for grab (.pro/.tech/.cloud, etc.), and I have encouraged people several times to give it a shot since it's free. Well, I always practice what I preach; that's why this sale happened. This month last year, DreamHost was doing their .io FREE domain grab, so I activated my research and hunt mode. After a few hours, I found a few hidden gems. Since I could only get one for free, I settled for this name, and I hand-registered it for $0 Thanks to DreamHost, I love those guys; I still have some FREE gems I got from them.

Fast forward to last month, I had lots of domain renewals for September and October, so I started reviewing the ones I'd renew and drop (I usually renew most of my names, cuz they seem to have potential). Unfortunately, this domain was among the ones I felt I wasn't going to renew, but at some point, my domaining instinct kicked in. I usually mark/color-code the names that I'd renew with green and the ones I'm dropping with red, but I didn't mark this domain cuz I wanted to think more about it. During this period, I dropped the price to $1499 since it was expiring in about a month anyways. Well, about 2 weeks later, Donald Trump came out with his Super Intelligence cho cho cho, so people started talking about SI, and this domain started getting LOTS of views. At that point, it was no longer negotiable; I knew I was going to renew it for sure!!!

I started the renewal process earlier this week, but for some reason, it's taking a long time, so I thought maybe it's because it's a .io domain. I even reached out to DreamHost about it yesterday afternoon. I was waiting for the transfer to complete before INCREASING the price back to where it should be; that was the mistake I made. I shouldn't have waited... While waiting, someone pulled the trigger on the name and got it for $1499. Although I got it for FREE, I know it's worth way more than that, especially with the present Super Intelligence hype.

Well, there you have it: from FREE >>> $1499 in 12 months. My major focus is still and always /.Com/ (98% of my portfolio), but I try to grab other TLDs when I can, especially when it's FREE... Nothing beats FREE

Sales details below -

Onto the next one!

Congratulations.. Regrets may very well be on the table seeing incredible news of .si sales especially if what anyone could secure are leftovers.

aywhy93:
Congratulations! What a relief to offload such a trademarky name at that good price. The hold time is short as well.

Just glad.. Drop mindset activated from the moment I got it and submitted it to ai to review

Hallahujah.. BestBuyAi/com


I left it on Dynadot and listed it on their marketplace. I priced it low because I found out I was in trademark territory, and the .ai version was priced too cheaply.

I'm only just seeing the sale now. First sale on the platform.

Up
Congrats. Was it picked from ED?

Yes. ED. Thanks

bizbro:
I think I'll have to start from page one. I don't understand the rationale behind the name 😫

Be like I understand small now.. Inbound right?

Nothing extraordinary, just was based on research. The same reason for ur improved knowledge of US states and cities names: Majority of us now know the names because of geo domaining.


Steel off-road, create a vivid picture in anyone's mind who know off-road vehicles


Yes, Inbound.

God be Praised!





HT: 1yr, 11 months.

I will never understand some buyers.
Paying small small, yet opted for the costlier option

Thank you all for the collective encouragement.

Oshiofe:
try whoisfreaks//com but, the problem with them is the recent checked Dns they publicise

The page isn't seamless at all. Doesn't show when the name was dropped or deregistered..

AllLovingGod:
Whois is still active. I used it recently

Who's doesn't show the history unless it hasn't been dropped or expired before.

Guys, any free dns checking tools

How are u guys going over the hurdles of paid service for DNS look up.. Not been able to see any websites offering free service, since completedns went full subscription base.

bizbro:
Can someone do what you do with startup capital of $600? @U1 @gpexchange @humblemax

Of course, even with 80 to 150.. What is more important than the capital is the market knowledge and thick skin of patience. Our pioneer mentor , also the creator of this thread luckily is more than willing and available, running training for anyone with interest for very little small change. Do well to reach him because committing to anything. It's not a get rich quick business. It can crumble anyone without the right knowledge or even luck.

AllLovingGod:
Congrats bro.
Thank God.

What's your portfolio size? Was it ED picked?
And finally, was this an outbound sale?

Well done 👍 bro

Thanks..

Thank you Heavenly Father!!!

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.
