Sales Report

Blip/Delivery
Ht: 1 month +
Cost : Ed Drop reg Spaceship
Sp: 10,000$ (12 installment but first 5 fig sale so that's nice )

Background
Wen I saw it all I remember was everyone on NL always saying Blip abi na bleep everything they don't want to say an insult.... So thought it was funny before I saw the business active. On the hyphen...
Obviously got it for those guys on the hyphen for their drone delivery thing they planning seems interesting.
I actually didn't even reg it the day it dropped.. na day after so coulda lost it sef .... Bought it oct 10 at 7am and it sold Dec 1 at 7am too lmao... Funny coincidence ... .. My LTO was set to 60 months tho. I set 24 months normally not sure wat happened .. but they still reduced to 12 months so that's nice..... even had make offer sef they still no touch...

Second sale

Abu/fed
Ht 9 months
Drop reg
Sp..400$.

Background.
Don't know what the f*** this even means .. guess I reg for the extension taken then which is a stupid reason to reg a name by the way .... Bin was 3500 lol lead came in last week and after a week moved form 250$ to 400$.. the broker didn't tell me anything by the way he just cancel the lead say buyer say too expensive... Na so I see stalled.. say no oh for ugly name like this ... I type message say collect tthat money asap ... Then the broker reactivated the lead and collect the 400$ lol na so person for miss this... Haven't had a 3 fig sale in 2 years so this is nice fr .... happened yesterday.....



Congrats to all the recent sellers and wishing us all more sales before year end...

Despite how much auction and closeout I been adding... Drop regs are still the only ones over performing ohhh.. wahala . ... So see its better to invest were your money reach no go overdo..

And Remember one thing the end users are more excited than you are wen they get their domain.. ignore all the bad things u see online a huge portion of them are glad we let them have it...

Nov was dry just dum offers that go nowhere

Portfolio now 1300++

Boost was on for both sale lmao.. na mistake oh I like to turn it on once every 3 weeks and off it 2 days after immediately... but sale go happen during one of my oning oh lmafao... Issoright sha

Drhay:
I have tried to put it up on atom, currently in review on Afternic.

Please i need assistance on
1. how to get more lead for enduser faster aside bing
3. Please help me on email content and do i need to create a new email

This is outbound related questions I can't really help with that since I don't rmemeber much either sorry .... And borrowing to domain is a bad idea oh since it either takes a long time to sell or not sell at all... if u want to domain u need to have cash you don't need ..

WorkTheTalk:


can I see a screenshot of one of your Afternic domain landers? I mean do you set BIN, MO and LTO all appearing on your sales page?

Picture below

Mhmm.....Sales Report Again...

Get/ Calico
Ht: 1 month plus

I think I just remembered I saw companies using the name...like calico labs, Go calico ,calico agency . Calico ai . And whatnots so yeah..


No be juju...no be grace am not with any religion...... not luck either I just check every day without failing u get to see what's going on when you do...u reduce probability when u do

Even I am as suprised as u all are cause no be recently I start domaining....

but I guess.... This is what happens when you learn to use Ed well and visit every single day(30 mins to 1 hr daily) .......... Plus I have been doing things online for long so how domain works wasn't that hard to figure out.....
My first and second year ..... Was hard..cause I didn't know wat I was regging..plus no money.... I only sold 3 names that was worth it and that was it ... Brokeness wan finish me... I even had to lend money ....

The one thing that helped the most is that I priced high... Tho I was scared it would fail since everyone is always saying to reduce price to let sale come.... Even in my 7 months draught I no do it was hard cause I was broke too so patience isn't what we need then but I tried.... and this is the only year it finally worked... And the whole looking at money in naira instead of in usd sure it's large in naira but don't be scared to price it how their money works isn't how ours work.

Even am suprised cause the names similar sales no dey pass 1k sale price .or gd appraisal of 100$..see their head..I just didn't want jare..... Rather than sell 50 names at 1k.. I'd rather do 10 names at 5k.. tho am sure am missing sales but no choice... And manage money .... I could only afford drops . So I stayed there no go do wetin pass u.....

The names are rarely quality but once u had strong reason why u reg each it will work out ...


And reduce ur stress changing name servers and price every week might work for someone but might not u.. u just dey give urself work.....but u can keep testing tho ... No one can tell you what to do na your name... but if it works for u..that's nice...

Portfolio is currently 1100.. haven't bought anything
much for a while cause of the sales draught of last 2 months

JAPAHTML:



See December don sure
Kill two Cow one for pepper soup the other for stew 😁

Loooooooooolll dey play

Rwshd:
Omo! @Gpexchange, congrats o!

Mhmm.....Sales Report Again...

Get/ Calico
Ht: 1 month plus

Cost: Drop reg from Ed 6.99$ porkbun

SP: 4000$ (Bin was 10k random as always)

Background

I said mhmm cause I have No idea why I regged this.. all I see on google is clothing material ...but that's not enough reason for me to reg a name... So it's something else but I can't figure it out.... No active business with the name either..... So idk tbh....first time I can't explain a name..

The offer came in the exact same time as Go/leasy did... Also starting at 3k..mind u all my minimum offer is 200$.... I loved this buyer cause he was really nice to the brokers and kept apologizing if he reply their email pass 5 minutes... He increase to 4k last week and accepted to pay ... But he say he dey travel so didn't pay till yesterday.... So it went on hold....

Didn't reg it the day I saw it cause was broke then thanks to auction... So wen kon/cile sale came the next few days I reg am...

Good thing the name 60 day lock is ending in 4 days else person go wait tire.....

Take domaining as u would a full time business and manage your funds well....no go broke oh ....
And u still don't need a large portfolio.. I was doing ok with less than 200... Just have to make sure u put effort to gently finding good names for cheap prices.. slowly ..cause we all don't have large money to enter...

while the 1k portfolio is nice cause even if sales draught dey u will still be receiving offers.....that's the only reason am still in nice profit cause I am not Regging anyhow each name has its own story of why it's regged.....

having small portfolio with nice names u pick well is better than Having large portfolio with bad names ... the profit would also be worth it...

Oh and one more thing... Since that last week I post now wen I receive offer afternic broker sends email immediately to notify you... Unlike before they wait until week 3 wen buyer don run....not sure what changes they made to their rules

FavourNation:

It finally worked.

Cool

FavourNation:


Yeah sure. I have 2 payment method, they asked me which one of them. And I told them my preferred one.

Oh ok then contact them they didnt do it well..

Bestjoy:
Gooday everyone, pls I got this strange tax ID notification on Afternic, and my location is not even US. Is anyone getting this?

Just ignore it......u are not working under a company.....

Favourdman:


Thanks brotherly, its been long o na you dey chop all the brandable money na

lmao no na .... Na u I dey wait for

FavourNation:


I can't find "Payment Country"

In your email they said they enabled it for an old payment method u have saved before... So just check the old ones u have saved before and edit ... One of them has it enabled....


Not adding new.... check the old one u saved before one has it enabled.....

AroFx:


Please how do you use GoDaddy Closeout

It's a column on Ed...
The lowest price there is 3 times the cost of drop reg tho so prob not a good idea if u don't have much funds...

Favourdman:
Sold

Congratulations...

FavourNation:


Got this email from them

MatthiasChin:


Same message I got but I'm still unable to do that following the procedure they enlisted

Your problems lies on the first page for the address. Look AT MY SCREENSHOT... There are 3 places for countries.. that middle one titled payment country the one I marked red put it as USA .. rest can be nigeria....... It's really that simple. If you can't find the payment country option it's either it's not enabled for u yet.. or you should check other payment details u added before to see which of them they opened it forrrr...

Thanks y'all ..

FavourNation:

I contacted them too but I got this response

Yeah you need to tell them you want international payee enabled for you like HIScraziness said not what I wrote before

sammyrollo:

. Now we can’t track traffic through analytics on Afternic. I’m hoping afternic will add that soon

yeah but I doubt it sha

AroFx:


Done.

Thank you.

Nice one

Sale Alert
Go/leasy
Sp: 8000$ (Bin was 50k$ of course random lol)
HT: 6 months

Cost 11$ closeout plus renewal total was 26$

Background

Omo I had no idea it was trademark on Europe until recently na only USA own I searched... So I already lost hope that they will do Udrp but as the name is reg older than their biz I also hoped they would think I was the previous owner and not do nonsense....can't even defend it cause which English word be leasy...

the name obviously makes no sense but I got it for the guys on .de set am at 15k$ cause I thought they owned the cars didn't know na just affiliate something might have priced lower if I did..anyways...Received an offer of 100$ from them a week after I got it on Dan
in may and they no reply me again... So I increase price to 50k$ for no reason .....

Fast forward last week they came with 3k offer I tell afternic broker abeg accept .. Because they have pursued the last 7 offers I got before ..them say ok... Before u know it I saw afternic kept pushing them to go higher and higher suddenly I see it move from 5k to 8k .. and sold lol .....

Turned on boost before the sale and quickly turned if off wen offer came in... Was only testing the boost thing only for the email feature that sends email to people on other extension or that have searched the name before .... ... Might have been it that reminded them might have not who knows....

Oh and one more thing... The name received visits of over 1000 monthly since April... I thought it was bots but when I checked Google analytics I saw it was German people who wanted to go the .de ... I did park it with bodis for a while but got nothing so I remove am jare.....

AroFx:


I contacted them and they said it has been enabled

And u can see 3 different places for country?

Put Nigerian for the address then in the payment country part select USA..

AroFx:


If i may ask , on the first page, am i filling my Nigerian address or grey us bank address.

Click and Read the below post

Gpexchange:
For the ones having issues adding usd account cause of tax form ........

You must first contact afternic before u add that u want to avoid tax form but still add USA bank as a Nigerian ohhhh... ..
.

Omini247:
Please for those that filled the AN payee with Grey USD did you get to the stage 4 of that form cuz that stage 3 is still showing me to fill tax form and I just want to stop at stage 2 and click save....

If afternic has activated that thing for you and u selected Nigeria ...... when you get to page 3 tax form just click the Non Us person option on the right and all you have to fill is name and address...

Tanjiro:
Please when adding US Grey account to Afternic, should I choose savings or checking account?

Checkings

CraigMorrison:


Is this also valid for Geegpay dollar account?

I would like to know if their dollar account is also hassle-free just like Grey's

Thanks

Yeah it's the same thing

HIScraziness:


They kept telling me it’s not possible to set up until I explained to them using your screenshots. They said I should’ve just requested an “international payee” but it’s all set up now. Thanks for this.

Chai afternic sha..let me update the post to include that.... Not sure why it's not the default settings to begin with....

golamike:


They just enabled this on my account and I've filled in my USD details. Maybe it's cos I earlier contacted them

Might be it...Nice tho ..

Alearna:


So with Grey's USD do you receive the exact amount Afternic sent?

For instant, would you receive the exact $85 in your Grey's account if you sold a name for $100?

I observed that with GBP, it's always about $6 short when I do the conversion.

Gbp fees = 5$+3% of total amount+Grey 1%....
Usd fees = 0.9$ + Grey 1% ..

So yes u would only lose 0.9$ with usd

For the ones having issues adding usd account cause of tax form ........

You must first contact afternic before u add that u want international payee enabled for you


Look at the email I sent to them explaining and their reply..... ( Or like HIScraziness said request for International payee)..

They will open an extra option during adding.. open eye and look very well at the payment screen below it's different from your own oh check am well well third screenshot it shows 3 different places for country .. main country... Payment country and country ... This won't open unless u first contact them oh ..... Then you won't have to fill tax form at all at all simple at abc....


And for next page Make sure it shows Ach/Direct Debit option else u go just lost your money don't go and click anything else ..

Learner47:


D kind thunder that will locate GoDaddy...fxckin capitalist. If it were DAN lander u for don close like additional 3 sales.

Yes oh chai

U1:

.

We dey wait u

sammyrollo:


Congrats bro, please which of the Us bank account are you using? I need to move out of grey Gbp too

Got a bit too busy last two months cause of offers that go nowhere...

August summary

Few offers one sale

The Sales Report

Koncile in com
Ht 7 months
Bin was 4988 but Sold price is 2500..
Cost 20$ closeout
Picked cause of the .ai was active he came in June but I rejected the offer then so he came back in August I accepted then he no pay till Dan cancel transaction then came back say he go vacation and paid immediately..see him head..

Offers wey no work

All drop reg
August

2k offer despite buyer yelling he did his research and won't pay higher he still no pay the 2k lol...
1k offer oga didn't even waste time he said he got another name na u know oh.
My first Udrp threat wey turn 500$ offer which I rejected obviously..cause he was just lying ni the name is different from their trademark... Cane through whois and was giving me court documents left and right .. their company has been active since the 90s...

September

Made the move to afternic

4500 offer came oh buyer very serious even went to reg net and org same day but afternic no tell me about the offer until week 3 wen buyer no interested again.. this people

Another name 2.5k offer they did same thing buyer
run

Same with 2k own..

And other offers but irrelevant since they are low

October

2k offer they are working on told them to accept oh if buyer no wan go higher haven't heard back..

So that's all for now .

While I don't like how afternic is handling offers will wait a bit longer make I first see first to know if I will run hopefully they bring that self negotiation thing quicker

Also decided to do that accounting yearly thing of how much total was spent and sold and whatever.. attached below .. people wey no fit see small words no vex I don't know wat else to do lol.... I kept delaying my post cause offers were coming and wanted to wait for one to sell but clearly not happening so I posted jare.

Portfolio now 1100

@U1 thanks for that ach afternic tip.... All I did was contact their support that am in Nigeria but want to receive with Grey USA bank and they just added an extra field for you to not have to fill tax form and to set country as Nigeria but receive in USA bank... Last screenshot below shows how it looks ..... Person just dey lose extra 120$ (3% of sale amount afternic charge to convert USD to gbp oh) each sale with greygbp....

Mkingz:
Congratulations ...do you use dan or Afternic nameservers and do you list separately?

trafficpools:

u go come live for under the bridge in oshodi with me be that...

Sales Report ... not transfered since it's still under 60 days lock but the story made me wanna report now.....July is turning to something else


Thyrd,eye,com
Sp 4988(all this 4988 sale sef are mainly for names I don't like much but I hate the 3500 I used to do so i decided on this as my minimum)
Hold time .. 10 days bruuuhhh 10 days oh ....

Hand regged not even drop reg at cosmos 7$...


Story ..


So I saw thrde,ye in closeout on June 28th u know how I always check other versions to see if they for sale .. I checked .. Thyr,dey,e and thir,deye to see if they for sale.. then I saw Thy,rde,ye dropped deleted in January and no one including me saw it ... So I didn't reg it oh I just put it in my email say later cause that means it's ugly then....so I left thr,deye and go sleep..... ... as no money to reg am I left it...... Then July 12 after that foundati,on far sale I use money reg am.. can you imagine I waited 14 days to decide lmao .. 10 more days and I woulda lost it......

I have always been someone that don't like handreg cause to dey think of names I no fit my brain fit bust...I prefer taking drops instead but this one was just cause I had extra money and say lemme just touch tho I don't believe in it.... ...and it's suprising tho... Cause wetin this person dey do wey he no reg am since January wen it dropped till now... Even last week he for Even get am sef.... This is what I say wen I tell you names are still in Ed deleted we all keep ignoring daily to fight over ones in dropcatch...I notice others too that are available but the end users get to them before I stumble upon it ..... This romain stayed in hold for 3 days I was beginning to think it's not going to work ....

Tho I wish they went through Dan now I gotta wait 50 days ..life sha ......

Anyways my Portfolio don enter 909 I really prefer small portfolios.... remember most are experiments that I will drop immediately next year.. tho am beginning to like em lol real portfolio is still like 350... .... I don't do auctions tho . But I do enter once in a while . and those once in a while get expensive it don make me broke again person no fit just enjoy sale in peace... The names just too fine . total auction this year is like 6.... Others are drops and closeout no handreg abeg.. unless like 3........


Side note:: remember the Flicke,rly LTO I said got cancelled after 1 payment.... The end user came back again the day afternic return the domain to me and started the LTO again? Is this.. ni,gga for real .. anyways afternic canceled it cause it's under 60 days lock and they don't want that for LTO... I say good ... Don't know what's wrong with that end user...

The transfer fee is all you will pay since its not registered at godaddy it will also be renewed automatically no added cost....

U1:
I looked at a closeout domain a while ago and I saw it would have a "one-time transfer fee" added to the cost instead of the standard GoDaddy renewal fee. I assumed the name was at another registrar.

Exactly....

U1:

But your efforts will not go in vain if you stay positive, make well-informed decisions (from constant learning)

Kanz95:




pls I have a question, does CPC or SG matter for brandable domains?

No
