Which nameservers you used?

 

[Fuadiansyah]

Seller: Me
Asking price: $495
Sale price: $495 - $20 (Escrow Fee) = $475
Purchase venue: Hand Reg (July 2017)
Purchase price: $8.89
Details: Buyer initiate Escrow.com transaction via Bodis landing page.

I just realized that I leave so much money on the table.
Current Whois Info showed that the current owner is Bouygues Telecom, a French company with 1.1 B yearly revenue (Source: Zoominfo). It should've sold for mid $x,xxx or low $xx,xxx or more.

And apparently, they just registered the .net a week before the sale.
If only there is a tool to monitor & give notification of other extension registration of our domains, like I ask in this thread before, that would be a killer app for any domainers. At least I could have increase the price after knowing who were registered the another extension.

NB: They're using a french IP (Intelectual Property) Expertise company (showed on the escrow transaction) as broker, so I don't really know the real buyer after the whois changed.

A/t/m/o/s/p/h/e/r/e [.] tv
Sold for $5000 on Undeveloped
Listed for $15,000, buyer offered $3000, agreed on $5000 after some back and forth
Handreg (or maybe bought on NP for cheap) in 2010, I think
About $4300 net after renewals, etc

Interestingly, I just ran it through Namejet auctions last month without a nibble. Lucky for me

Are you open to reporting this to DN Journal?

How did you transferred to another registrar (to new owner - buyer) after 25th May GDPR? How escrow service checked and accepted it?

Registrar confirms it.
Buyer confirms it.

How to receive an approval email?

 

[rathish]

How to receive an approval email?

from 25th there is no approval mail . Once transfer is initiated , then you will get the transfer confirmation mail from your current registrar(not from gaining registrar) . Once you confirm or approve the transfer , your domain name gets transferred within next 5 days .

If you have already initiated the transfer before 24 and waiting for confirmation mail then cancel the transfer and re-initiate the transfer again as you will not receive any confirmation mail after 24th ...

I had the same issue , so i cancelled and re-initiated the transfer and now everything is fine

Hope that helps

hi, since you did the outbound, what is the company/niche this is going to?

things can get beyond confusing with the letters... i vs l
your domain is myvi as per bb page it goes to, from what I saw. correct?

You can ignore the ROI on the individual sales above because it's misleading. I've been running a .CO hand-regs portfolio on the side for about a year now. I'm still spending circa $1.5k/month on expiring/deletes and it's making 2.5x that on average. My time investment is around 1 to 2 hours per day. The sell-through rate on the portfolio averages around 2% of inventory.

I'll try to write up a summary of the experiment in more detail within the coming weeks. I'm not advocating for it to be replicated as a formula, but just as something to learn from. There is no magic or secret sauce - just trial and error... plus a tiny bit of brute force with the numbers.
