Good morning

[PatC]

Well hello, I'm Pat and I'm middle aged now. Bought my first domain in 1999 and still have it.
Wouldn't say I'm a domainer by trade but it's always nice to have one or two good ones for a rainy day. Talking of which, I have one up on DL now (nerdy.co.uk +uk) which I've held for 15 years.

Sold a few others along the way, the best one in 2009 for $22,500 to someone who is now a billionaire. Should have held out longer!

Nice domain and congrats on the sale. What was it, just interested?

Can't really say without giving away the buyer I'm afraid. Either way it wasn't plain sailing - Sedo took longer than their TOS stated to verify the buyer's account and the auction ended before they could bid, so I had a major legal headache afterwards (as there were other bidders).

Welcome . What other gems do you have stashed ?

Oh no. Did you sign a NDA?

I did not, but I still work with them on and off so value their privacy on that one!

Most of the good ones have gone!

The first I bought for a project in the late 90s when I was a student - studenthouse.net. Would probably part with it with the right offer.

Very humble of you to be brokering a potential half a million dollar domain, while being highly pleased about selling one for $100 that you couldnt sell here for £2 lol.

If I was brokering sizable sales, not sure id be bothered about making a few pence here and there.

Welcome Pat, same pat as before? Thingymajigs cousin etc?

That's my first time brokering domain. Accidentally got client from linkedin, i offer him one of my energy related domain. He one head of multinational company and want to open new company.

I have limited resource especially with english speaking and time. So i decided to share.

Yeah maybe my domain sale not high price just pricing $100 - $200 for end user. But with my limited resource i can sell a bunch of them since 2005. Not including sell in forum.

Just treat domain for business not investment. If i reg domain £1 and one hour later get offer £2 i take the offer. That's 100% profit, hahaha.

I'm new in UK domain maybe under 6 month first time i reg uk domain. With net investment £1.5. Sold here and there 2 on DL, couple on Flip (my country not list for register so i register with indonesian address and country india) hahaha. Until now book net profit over £600. Small for money, but if convert percentage that's massive gain for short period.

I think .co.uk and .uk domain looks promising. Because you know i'm not from UK and my english not good, but sell domain to UK people and people buy my domain.
