The art of determining which assets are worthy of holding long term is part of the learning experience as a domain investor.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the sale took place on Afternic, where the domain was presented to the buyer due to being listed on <a href=\"http:\/\/Dan.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Dan.com<\/strong><\/a> with a BIN price. I am not a big fan of how GoDaddy forces this type of relationship between Dan.com and Afternic and less than 5% of my domains are listed with a BIN price, as I prefer to negotiate my sales.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6407\" src=\"https:\/\/acro.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dan-com-lander.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acro.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dan-com-lander.png 1200w, https:\/\/acro.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dan-com-lander-300x115.png 300w, https:\/\/acro.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dan-com-lander-1024x393.png 1024w, https:\/\/acro.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/dan-com-lander-768x294.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Due to the originating platform being Dan.com, I was informed of the extra steps in handling the transaction. The Dan bot took over and managed the domain&#8217;s push at the holding account. The manual process of coordinating the exchange took place extremely fast. Dan.com employs some great people, who are well-trained to interface with their counterparts at Afternic fast and efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>The funds were in my bank account the very following day and the buyer has already set up a temporary gaming web site.<\/p>\n<p>It might be worth mentioning that two years ago I declined an offer at half the current selling price, doubling the price at the time out of spite. The buyer, however, is not the same company, which is a lesson in itself: If you truly want to acquire a domain name, nickel-and-diming your approach might cost you the domain.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m thankful to the great people at Dan.com for being detail-oriented and expedient with their work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I completed my first domain sale in October, for a domain I acquired for a few hundred dollars almost 15 years ago.
