discussion Have you ever sold the same domain twice?

This happened to me with a two-word SEO-related domain. About 12 years ago, I sold it for a couple of thousand dollars. I watched that a company created a business on it and it ran for several years. Then, around 5 years later, I noticed it had dropped because I had it on a monitoring list. I was able to hand-register it again.
The first time, it was also hand registered too.
Last year, I sold it for $5,000.
I don't understand why it wasn't caught on a drop auction, since obviously it has some value.

The new company looks solid for now, but I’m keeping it on my monitor—who knows what might happen!

I've done it a few times.

One of the best tips from Adam Dicker back in the day.

That’s an amazing story! Selling the same domain twice is rare, especially with such a value jump. Keeping it on your monitoring list is smart—who knows, it might come full circle again!

This is such an interesting experience! The situation you mentioned is indeed not uncommon in the domain name market. Sometimes, although a domain name has a certain value, it does not always appear in auctions or price reduction auctions. It may be because of the way the original owner or registrar managed the domain name, or they did not realize its market potential.
