Few recent interesting domain sales

Hello and Assalamo Alaikum,

My last post about domain sales published earlier in January so I thought it’s the time to share some of the recent past sales which hopefully be encouraging and helpful in some way…

GreenPest.com – I bought this domain from a fellow domainer couple of years back in a package deal. This was sold via Afternic BIN at $3,888.

Younifi.com – Acquired this domain for $xx couple of months back and had BIN of $3,988 at both major platforms Sedo and Afternic. However, got direct inquiry and after I quoted price, got an offer of $2,000 for a quick deal to be done that day itself. I wasn’t tempted to sell it as that wasn’t an acceptable offer. I revised my asking and gave my final price of $3,500. Going back and forth for at least couple of times more and sticking with the same price of $3,500, buyer agreed and bought the name. All in all, it was really nice dealing with buyer. Great person to deal with.

CosmoChem.com – This was an interesting sale completed this month. Acquired the name less than two months back for $xxx, got direct inquiry via Uniregistry lander. Buyer was from Korea and if I remember correctly, I sold my first domain to a buyer from Korea. Funny thing in the entire deal was the buyer kept talking completely in Korean language which I needed to translate every time at Google Translate to understand what buyer says. After which I always responded back in English. It was good the buyer understood English language and I had no problem if he was responding back in Korean language 😀

Initially buyer asked for the price for which I quoted $7,888. Buyer offered with $3,700. I reduced to $7,250. And then there was silence for a week period… I usually don’t follow up unless I sense the seriousness from any potential buyer. In this case, I followed up and buyer improved the offer to $6,000.

I gave my final price of $7,000 and took the entire escrow fee at my end which in almost all my transactions, my buyers pay. Eventually $7,000 was accepted and deal completed through Escrow.com

TheNordic.com – Bought this domain several years back. Afternic broker (Will Black) contacted on behalf of their client with an offer of $5,888. It was having BIN for $6,888 both at Sedo and Afternic. He asked if I’ve any flexibility, would like to counter or accept. I responded to remain stick at $6,888. Few days later, got accepted and payment on the way! Many thanks Will as you’ve done good job in getting the buyer to accept $6,888. It’s been great doing business with you in past and this time as well! Hope to do many more deals with you in future 🙂

VELO.org – I’m sharing this particular sale because surprisingly this was my first .org sale and was sold for $5,888 through Afternic BIN.

Feel free to share your past and/or recent domain sales and if you like can give feedback on my sales.

Amazing sales, AbdulBasit!

Just one question: how aren’t you afraid to hold BIN on two platforms? What if you get sales on both…

The probability of that happening is so low that it isn’t worth worrying about it. If it does happen, it’s a good thing — you got it sold at your high BIN price regardless!

Eid Greetings!!!

It feels good to know about your recent sales, which are indeed interesting.

I would like to know approximately what percentage of your domain portfolio consists of keyword domains (with Google search volume) in .com, .net, .org and other Tlds? And how quickly they sell?

Have you ever sold a .biz and .info domain name?

Yesterday, I sold airline-tickets.net for $300 on Sedo. I had acquired it for $xx last year. The keyword “airline tickets” has a search volume of 550,000 according to keyword tools. In your opinion, was it sold for too less?

Very good read. One thing I notice is that you keep still at the pricing you have quoted without too much flexibility and you stick to that. How do you keep the BIN price is it comparing with the related sales or any other method you use for calculation.

They are all very good sale, to be honest. But mind to share, how do you decide the pricing for each of those domains? How are you so sure those would be sold at those prices in the first place? Honestly, if i owned all those names, below would be my pricing on Sedo, Afternic and/or other marketplaces GreenPest: same range like yours Younifi: $400-$800 only Cosmochem: $400-800 only TheNordic.com: $500-$1500 range Velo.org: $300-$800 range only despite it is 1 word, but it is not English word, and it is .org I dont think those names (except greenpest) would be… Read more »
