those are some good sales. I hit a dryspell in late 09′ and haven’t made a sale since. maybe you can coach me lol.
cheers,
Nice sales Eric . where did you sell most of them ? direct inquiries ? Afternic ? sedo ?
Around 90% are direct inquiries, the other 10% are through sedo and afternic.
I I especially like findrates.com,…A great lead generation site,…
Congrats on your sales. Curious if negotiation drove the final sales price, or if you just provided a BIN and the buyer accepted that. Thanks.
I almost always let the buyer make an offer first. Almost all of the buyers don’t see my nameshopping.com site, so they don’t know my asking price.
Eric, you mentioned that the buyers didn’t look at NameShopping.com so were the prices offered above what you were expecting? If so can you care to mention the margin or the difference between what you were expecting and got?
Also, I like to know the sort of domain purchase strategy that you use.
No, I don’t think I have ever had anybody offer higher than my asking price. But, it can’t hurt to keep trying. Most offers are in the range of $100 – $500, which is usually only 10%-20% of my asking price. For buying domains, I usually buy them at auctions. When I deal with a private seller, I usually make a very low offer, since I am not looking to buy domains unless they are very cheap deals.
I woulda given you $1K for NYUstudents.com.. oh wellz
The domain I sold was NYCStudent.com, for $250, not NYUstudents.com.
