Hello and Assalamo Alaikum,
It’s been some time I published my last post but that was due to guests at my place and was on little tour of hilly areas in my country. It seems I am back in action now đ
Looking at the post title, one would definitely wonder that when I got starting offer of $23,000, why did I settle for 1K extra and sold it. Let me unfold the story for you…
The domain in question is 43Things.com which was nothing but a parking revenue generating from around 750,000 backlinks! It’s been making hundred of dollars every month for me and I had plan to sell this domain for at least 20K. I once listed in GoDaddy Auctions but didn’t meet the reserves and someone contacted me privately during that time and offered up to $10,000 which I happily declined.
Last month the buyer (current owner) of 43Things.com contacted and asked if this domain is up for sale and what I am looking for. As always, I asked the buyer to present his offer and it came out healthy one $23,000. I countered with $25,000 because I don’t usually quote high price when I get a decent opening offer and always price out what I actually would ask other buyers.
He countered with $24,000 which I accepted. This guy was really cool to deal with and he did wire the payment at Escrow.com within 24 hours of his first email of inquiry! Within 2 days the entire deal was completed except Escrow.com to verify transaction and release funds.
It was my 7th sale of the year and another 5 figure sale of 2016. Going great in terms of generating cash flow but number of sales are disappointing. Overall, it’s been fantastic year.
Feel free to give your feedback and share your recent sales.
