Hi everyone,
It’s been a fantastic year for myself and I would call it one of the best year overall in terms of domaining.
Hope the post title doesn’t confuse any one as I want to clarify this at first. The price of $2,888 was quoted to inquirer A and $4,400 was quoted to inquirer B and finally the buyer who acquired the domain is different from them. Also the timings of all 3 price quotes differ very much from each other.
First, I would like to admit my mistake that I by mistake set the price of $2,888 for Digital-Identity.com after acquiring the domain around 3 years back. So when the first few inquiries came in, I quoted $2,888 without realizing too much of the set price. The domain didn’t got sold for $2,888 as the buyer wasn’t interested at that price.
In 2018, I received inquiry via DomainAgents where the buyer initially offered $3,321 to which I quoted $4,400. Buyer came back with $3,321 again without moving a little so I gave my final offer of $4,000. Eventually the domain wasn’t sold.
I was suppose to do repricing of domains which was long due and did the repricing around some time in 2018 during which I finally set the price of $15,888 for Digital-Identity.com. The new price was quoted to several inquirers including one interested buyer coming via Uniregistry broker with an offer of $5,000 which I happily declined. This inquiry came in mid 2018.
Fast forward to 25th December 2019, I received an email from Afternic saying the domain Digital-Identity.com sold for $15,888 at BIN.
So yes, I openly admit my mistake of setting the price very low in past and it can happen with any one. At least, I realized and changed to what I think was the right price to set for Digital-Identity.com and I’m very happy to sell this domain for what it sold for. Also this is my highest hyphenated domain sale.
Feel free to share your domain sales if you want and/or give your feedback on the above domain sale.

You made me laugh a lot.
Congrats!
It didn’t sell for $2,888 coz $15,888 was waiting for you.. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Niz!
That’s the beauty of domaining yeah.
Oh my…..what a way to round up the year (assuming no other sale is made), especially for an hyphenated domain and a good one. Congrats on the sale!!!
Thank you Kay!
December is the best month of this year for me in terms of sales.
Best wishes!
Congratulations
Thank you Najeb!
I am not surprised another good sale came from you again.The right name that draws the big sale that leaves most wondering.
Its been a great year and thank you for the details as always.
Your feedback is appreciated 🙂
I’ll keep sharing in detail in future as well.
Wish you all the best 🙂
Congrats, Abdul sir 🙂 🔥
Thank you Sanjeev bhai 🙂
Must be the roti canai and durian you are eating in Malaysia…
Maybe you should get a Malaysian citizenship
Hahaha. Like your sense of humor.
Wish I could get Malaysian citizenship but unfortunately they don’t give.
Wonderful as always. Keep up the sales. 2019 was one of the worst years for me with domain names. Happy for you.
Thanks for sharing your experience of 2019. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
Wish you all the best with 2020!
Congratulations on the sale.
Congrats on the sale.
Thanks Charlie!
Congrats on the great sale Abdul 🙂
I just checked the domain is just parked and I’ve seen many times after buying the domain in high figures the buyer doesn’t make use of it for years.
Thank you Brian!
I totally agree. I wonder why they pay such high amounts and then do simply nothing even though the domain isn’t acquired for brand protection.
what is your buying price and when you buy it
I rarely disclose buying price but it was in 3 figs.
About buying time, you may want to read the post again as it’s clearly mentioned.
Thanks!
congrats. Do you have BIN price on you domains at Uniregistry?
Daniel
Thank you Daniel 🙂
Less than 10 domains set for BIN at Uniregistry. That too because of too much spamming on those domains so I set up BIN to avoid any inquiries which goes nowhere.
MashaAllah. Learning so much from your posts. Congrats and Keep going brother.
Shukria Owais bhai. That’s what keeps me sharing more.
I’m sure you’ll have better next year. Just keep on going and don’t stop.
Best wishes! 🙂
Well done my friend. Nice sale to finish off 2019. All the very best to you for 2020.
Thank you so much Paul!
Wish you all the best for 2020 🙂
Hiya Abdul, congratulations on the sales of these domain names.
Happy New Year 2020!
Hope you have had a great start to the New Year.
How did you celebrate New Years Eve Abdul?
Well done once again!
Thank you Matt for commenting and your kind words. Much appreciated 🙂 I really don’t celebrate such occasions and every day is usually a great day for me here in Malaysia. Starting last New Year’s Eve, I didn’t even went to see fireworks as I stopped myself to be involved in any way which is causing damage to environment. I know there are many other ways in which I may be causing damage but I’m trying my best to avoid more of such things in future. Thank you once again and hope you’ll find more good out of the blog… Read more »
Do you see any value in DigiIdentity.com?
Not much.
why? Maybe because when you write it in Dotdb, you see no results??
Not really because DotDB is just one factor to valuate domains for myself. There should always be many different factors to consider before buying, valuating and pricing domains.
thank you for your evaluation.
This is what happens when the right buyer shows up. Never would have priced that much for an hyphen domain name. Congrats Abdul.
We should always keep learning and that’s what I did all the way since buying this domain.
Thank you!
Congrats abdul. But i have trouble understanding how come a hyphenated domain sold for that much 😅 was this previously a brand of some sort ?
Thank you Joe!
The easiest way I can make you understand is to Google search “digital identity” and check Google News for the same.
Let me know if you get to understand something out of it.
Hmm I see okay so it’s a trending topic, making digital-identity.com valuable, and I’m assuming digitalidentity.com (no hyphen) even more valuable ?
Yes. And the value of this domain will increase as the time goes by.
Definitely the non-hyphenated version has a lot more value.
Abdul, I like this sale because hyphenated domains are very hard to sell. Don’t you think there’s a killer trick to this sale. The buy now made the magic. It’s always good to evaluate and price domains with boldness. There’s a whole lot of pros when it comes to buy now, given a few I love so much; 1.Buyers respects/values prices on product as quality & bold decision by seller. 2.More exposure/fast marketing strategy. 3.Most aftermarket systems/multiple listing service and registrars help with fast transfer of domain name. 4.Buy now has up to 70% sales rate(instant purchasing without negotiation). 5.Buy… Read more »
Glad you like it and thanks for your detailed comment which add some valuable points. I’m sure this will help the readers who’re in the middle of deciding whether to have make offer or BIN option only.
