Sold first-last name domain for over US$5000

At the end of last year I sold first-last name domain to an end-user for US$5,165. The domain name was listed in DnJournal as well. Thanks to Ron Jackson for listing the domain.

I contacted the end-user and his initial email wasn’t so impressive. It seemed he wasn’t very much interested but asked for the price. I asked £3,200 equivalent to US$5,165 and told him that I have some flexibility so if he is really interested can contact me. Soon I received an email that he is not interested in negotiation and is willing to pay what I asked for!

It was really exciting and most importantly shocking that an end-user is not in the mood of negotiating the price and willing to pay what I wanted. The deal was completed very quickly and all was done in good manner.

I wish the buyer best of luck with the shorter domain they bought. Currently they operate with EmilyJanesFoods ((dot)) com

In my next post I will try to explain in detail whether you should invest in these first-last name domain because the possibilities are very limited as compare to selling product/service related domains.

In the meantime if you care to share any first-last name domain you have sold to date and how was your experience with it?

One of my domain got accepted with JointVentures.com program

As everyone knows about JointVentures.com which is operated by Rick Schwartz and Danny Welsh. It’s the domain leasing and domain partnership program where you can submit your top quality domains for submissions. If you get accepted will receive an email from Rick and his team. I submitted only a few domains I thought can be selected for the program and got one accepted. The domain is ArtMagazine ((dot)) com.

I would like to say thanks to Rick and Danny for approving my domain and giving me the opportunity to work with the best in the industry. It’s really exciting and hoping to see positive response in very near future for my domain as well as for others too.

There is very little time left in submitting your domain and hurry up and send your best domain for approval and see what happens next. Make sure to follow the guidelines mentioned in Rick’s blog:

1. Must be a dot com.
2. Must clearly state & define the product or service being sold.
3. Must be easy to pronounce & therefore pass the radio test.
4. Must not be longer than necessary, the shorter the better.
5. Must be about a product or service that is in demand & being searched for.
6. Must be easy to remember, in fact it must be a no brainer to remember.
7. Must be a domain a business could be built on.
