Sold My First Domain
Sunday, September 21st, 2008I am so excited! I sold my first domain.
I hand registered a .org domain based on a news story I heard. I had to get the .org because the .net was taken while I was trying to decide which I should get. The next day, both my .org and the .net someone else got while I snoozed had bids on them for purchase. Mine was for $100 and the .net was for $500. So, I guess I know now which one I should have regged, or else I should have just grabbed both.
Due to the activity, I sent it to auction at Sedo. I got one more bid which was high enough to cover Sedo’s 10% charge for handling the transaction. I was surprised at the amount of time Sedo held the money after I had pushed the domain to them (1 week), but it makes sense that they hold it for a bit to make sure the money clears that they were paid.
Sedo then paid the money to me without a hitch. Overall it was a very good experience.
