Afternic experience of March 2024

Hi everyone,

Since January 2020 I’ve been using an Afternic lander which has been giving some very good results. Going onwards further, I’ll be using “experience” instead of “experiment” in the post title as one of my friends, Aamir from DotCorner suggested to me to change it, which is a wise advice.

With the February 2024 sales going very strong, it was quite an opposite last month. Although the number of sales remained in the similar range, but the amount of sales was way down.

Humagic.com – Hold time 4 years and it sold for $2,988 via BIN.

StepLogic.com – Acquired via SnapNames for low 3 figures in 2018 and sold it for $1,988 BIN.

AccessContent.com – Hold time 4 years and this was also a $1,988 BIN.

SimpleSolutions.net – Good two word combinations do sell in .net but I will warn you guys that they’re pretty slow to sell and you’ve to price it pretty low as compared to .com. This one sold for $1,988 via BIN.

ICanCare.com – This domain received an offer of $2,414 but I remained firm on my BIN of $4,888 and eventually it sold for the BIN. Hold time 3 years.

FinaCredit.com – Another BIN sale for $3,988 and hold time 3 years.

Ecumen.com – The biggest sale of last month and this domain sold for $19,888 after holding it for 7 years.

ArgoCap.com – Acquired via SnapNames in 2021 and this one sold last month for $4,888 via BIN.

Purifeye.com – Another BIN sale of $1,988 and hold time was 5 years. I think I could’ve fetched more on this brandable domain but I’ve to keep sacrificing to have a sustainable business model.

SandraOrtiz.com – I always like to invest in 1-2 word person names and usually I avoid buying female names because they tend to sell slower than male names. This one sold for $1,988 via BIN and the hold time was 4 years.

CameronInvestments.com – A GoDaddy closeout domain acquired 2 years back and sold for $1,988.

DontDieBroke.com – Another GoDaddy closeout domain acquired 2 years back and this one too sold it for $1,988.

CogentLaw.com – This domain was acquired almost 7 years back and the sale price was $4,888.

RkMarine.com – Two letter + strong keywords are always a good investment. This one sold for $2,988 via BIN.

There were a total of 14 sales and half of them were $1,988 each. This is no surprise because 31% of my portfolio is priced at $1,988 so that justifies it.

The number of inquiries for March was slightly above 1,550 which is less than the previous month and the total number of domains at the end of March 2024 were a little more than 9,290.

Total acquisition + holding costs was around $3,000 and the total amount of sales was $58,432.

I wanted to thank my Afternic rep Adam Ramsdell and the brokers who were involved in making the deals smoothly and professionally.

Feel free to share your sales and give your feedback on mine if you like to. It doesn’t matter how good or good the feedback is 😉

Thanks

I will like to learn about the efforts you make to make these sales happen…. I think much of the effort is related to acquisition of these names?

I am curious to know what thing motivates you to keep the name for more than 7 years… I think you are too confident to each of the name in your portfolio.. so how do you build the confidence?

.And, how is your life in Malaysia. I know you shifted from Pakistan to Malaysia… I’m from India.

Thanks

Thank you for sharing. After reading your successes I have decided to give Afternic a try again after many, many years, and I’ve got 18 different inquiries so far. No sales yet but its only been 20 days so I remain hopeful that sooner than later a sale will happen. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you for sharing!
Your information is very useful for the domain community.
I have a question to ask you.
What presentence of your sales is coming from Afternic, Sedo, DAN?

Also, considering how many data you have, have you ever try to analyze your sales per week day, month day and month?

I m throwing you the idea for your next post 🙂

Personally I have detect that my sales peak on Wednesdays and Thursdays, as also between 15-20 of each month!
