Hello everyone,
This is the third post of the Afternic experiment series after I published January and February results which I’m hopeful that some of my readers find it interesting.
It was a bright start of March with 4 sales in first 15 days and the remaining 16 days went totally silent which was not very surprising because of the situation globally due to Covid pandemic.
Some of the highlights of March 2020 are as below:
There were once again very close to 550 inquiries which includes the inquiries on repeating domains as well. this time I just reached 3,700 domains right at the end of March.
As said earlier, I’d 4 sales and all that happened in the first half of March. 3 out of 4 sales happened via GoDaddy which includes Kword.com for $3,888, GoDragonfly.com for $3,988 and EastEight.com for $8,888. Only one happened via Afternic sales lander which was U-6.com sold for $1,888.
Kword.com acquired more than 5 years back. GoDragonfly.com acquired almost 2 years ago. EastEight.com also almost 2 years back and U-6.com more than 5 years before. Altogether acquisition cost for these 4 domains was under $500.
Considering the Covid pandamic haunting globally, I see the number of sales and total amount is decent.
Feel free to give your feedback and if you like to add your experience with Afternic, feel free to share. Also you may contact me directly if you like your results to be published in my next report post.

Great going Abdul. There’s a lot to learn from you for most of us.
It will be so nice of you if you can write a post about the following:
1. All the places that you list your domains on
2. Do you price all your domains?
3. How do you price your domains?
4. Any other tips, techniques and strategy we should follow?
Just a request if possible.
Thanks.
Thank you Rick!
That’s the main reason to share with you guys!
1) If you read my previous posts you’ll easily find out that tend to list all my domains at Uniregistry, Afternic and Sedo.
2) Yes, 99% of my domains are priced and that too having BIN.
3) This might answer your question – https://www.abdulbasit.com/domain-monetization/how-do-i-valuate-domains-and-set-an-asking-price
4) I try to share as much as possible on my blog but if you’ve any specific questions, feel free to let me know.
Thank you!
Thank you Abdul for taking time to answer my questions and sharing your experience.
I am finally done acquiring (don’t we all say that – lol) and now beginning to focus on selling/monetizing. This is my top goal now.
I now need to learn how to efficiently and as accurately as possible price my domains in bulk and then perhaps fine tune them as needed.
Thank you again!
I agree with you that we’re finally done with acquiring… But may be for hours or for few days only 😉
Recently you were definitely on buying spree and you own some good domains.
Wish you all the best!
Thanks buddy ?
I will be done acquiring after tomorrow ?
Nice sales Abdul. When you say 3 sales are from GoDaddy and onely one from 1 Afternic lander. How do you differentiate them?
Thank you Aamir bhai!
The report I receive from Afternic clearly shows the sale happened via which venue/platform.
Also GoDaddy means the sale happened via GoDaddy.com and Afternic lander means the buyer visited the domain itself in browser like for example AguaDulce.com and the lander which you see now was shown for buyer of U-6.com and he bought via that channel.
How do you manage so many domains with that obsolete hard to use afternic’s dashboard?
I still see there are some bugs win Afternic system which keeps annoying me but I never found their dashboard/interface difficult to use it.
If you hand tuned 3,000+ domains for pricing you deserve a medal for your time and effort. And then for the names to go thru the acceptance process.
I normally you get 3-4 duplicate emails for every name submitted. Have you ever received duplicate emails, is it just me?
Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you Paul! 🙂
It look some time to price those domains and I’ve done repricing couple of times on all domains to date as well. I’ve plan to do it once again this year after things will settle down globally.
Yes, I get duplicate emails every day on fixed time. That’s bit annoying but I delete it.
Awesome article bhaiya! 🙂 I love Kword.com it sounds like “keyword”
, Under 500$ for all the names is an amazing deal, that’s an amazing ROI that’s what matters in the end.
Thanks for your feedback Sanjeev bhai.
I totally agree with you on ROI as well as Kword sounds like Keyword which is what I thought in the process of acquiring.
Abdul you are an excellent domainer. Dont know how you do it, but keep it up. Great learning experience for all of us. congrats!
Thank you dear 🙂
As far as it’s somewhat helpful for others, I’ll always keep sharing. I just love it!
Abdul, nice to read something from you. I’m happy you’re making good sales in this covid pandemic. Under $500 for all 4 names are good deals and an impressive ROI. Good luck and more sales.
Thanks for your feedback. Glad you like it! 🙂
Likewise my friend 🙂

Nice Sales Abdul I’m happy to learn from your domaining experience. Please when you use dotdb, do you just download the entire list of expiring domains and filter the good ones with dotdb? or do you just filter on expireddomains with a set of your favorite keywords ?
Thanks Abdulmajid!
DotDB is one factor while evaluating any domain. Although I rely on it but not totally based on that.
I use expireddomains without entering any favorite keywords. I use filters as much as possible.
