… or how I sold a domain to an end user less than a month after an investor passed on a $xx each 20-domain package due to him refusing to budge an extra $5 per domain. He saw the list on DadDomains.com and emailed me (deals@daddomains.com in this case) to negotiate further.
Not judging, I respect the hustle.
However, had he just bought instead, he would have recouped his entire investment plus profit (!) after less than a month by selling just this one domain and still be left with the remaining 19.
The sale came through just as I was asked to enter the doctor’s office for an appointment (regular checkup, no biggie), so the timing is also as random as it gets.
Afternic has many flaws but still: collecting the payment, finalizing the transfer and receiving said payment the same day is a privilege we oftentimes take for granted.
Well, I guess we are paying for it after all through their double-digit commission.
And I still maintain that boost still doesn’t boost enough 🙂
The lesson, I guess, is this: expect randomness in this industry. Sometimes, it can be a good thing, sometimes frustrating/bad. Today it was the former, so here’s to many more such days in 2025!
I stopped trying to predict the domain game years ago. It’s an enigma far beyond my meagre brain power. Here’s to many more random sales!
Same to you!
