I can finally reveal the name involved in this deal.

AiReviews .com

Now listen close.

Most domainers would’ve flipped it for a quick thousand. I don’t play that game.

It’s not about the domain.
It’s not about the price.
It’s about the DEAL you create.

If you’re happy flipping mobile homes, have at it.

But if you want real wealth, you slow down and think!

MyVehicle .com Sold for $105,000 via @Escrow_com

Every journey has milestones that leave a lasting impression on our hearts. For me, MyVehicle .com will always hold a special place in my entrepreneurial story — not just for its value, but for the journey, faith, and patience it demanded.

I’m happy to share that MyVehicle .com has officially been sold for $105,000 via @Escrow_com , concluding a 60-month lease-to-own deal that began with a heartfelt negotiation and just wrapped up successfully. The negotiation took about 6 months, but the full payout and relationship spanned over 5 years.

We always remember our first range-breaker — that defining deal which resets what we once thought was possible. The automotive sector has played a huge role in my life. In fact, ElectricCar .com, which I sold for $180,000, was my first single-payment six-figure deal. But MyVehicle .com holds the title for my first agreed six-figure deal, structured over a long-term plan — and now completed in full.

The Backstory

I acquired MyVehicle .com back in 2018 via a NameJet auction. Around that time, I already owned ElectricCar .com, and my vision was clear: collect premium automotive assets that could define the future, especially as EV (Electric Vehicle) interest was just starting to surge.

MyVehicle .com stood out to me as a powerful umbrella term — versatile and broad, applicable across multiple facets of the auto industry. Over the years, I consistently received serious inquiries. In 2019, one interested party started with a $5,000 offer, which through discussion reached $25,000 — a fantastic ROI considering I had only held it for under a year. But I politely declined while keeping the door open, as I had long-term conviction that the name would eventually break the six-figure mark, even if some found that laughable back then.

The Deal That Tested Patience and Character

In February 2020, just as COVID fears were beginning to spread, our daughter came down with a flu. My wife and I soon followed with similar symptoms. Doctors told us to rest — back then, no COVID testing was available, and we had no way of knowing what it really was.

Amidst that, I received an unexpected email — the same person who had offered $25,000 six months prior was back. I immediately recognized his name and revisited our past conversation. We got on a phone call, speaking for over an hour. I walked him through facts, market trends, and data — highlighting that even at the time, the highest known public sale with the keyword “Vehicle” was VehicleHistoryReport .com for $31,000.

The buyer appreciated the insight, but had budget constraints. I remembered wise advice once shared by @BradenPollock : "Always try your best to help your customer find a solution." So, instead of walking away, I offered a structured plan.

Initially, I asked for $15,000–$20,000 as down payment, with the balance in monthly installments. Since the buyer preferred using a credit card for his initial payments, I knew I couldn’t expect more than $5,000 per month due to processing limitations.

So, we worked out a custom plan:

Down Payment Schedule (First 4 Months)

Month 1: $4,735 ($2,300 + $2,434.50 escrow fees)

Month 2: $4,750

Month 3: $4,750

Month 4: $4,750

Installment Structure

Months 5–15: $1,580 per month

Months 16–27: $1,000 per month(adjusted due to COVID-related constraints)

Months 28–60: $1,790 per month

A Lesson in Patience and Faith

As the deal unfolded, there were numerous delays and inconsistencies in payments — some of which are clearly visible in our transaction screenshots. The buyer often reached out asking for understanding due to market uncertainty.

Many times, I could have enforced my rights. Per Escrow rules, I could have emailed them, and if no payment was made in 7 days, I could have reclaimed the asset and kept all payments made up to that point. But I chose not to.

Why?

Because I believe in God, ethics, morality, and trust — even when tested. God gave me several such tests during this period. I saw each moment as a choice to stand by my values rather than chase short-term gain. I believe in positive vibe deal. Hence I always supported all of his requests.

And I’m glad I did.

With God’s blessings, the buyer fully paid off the domain last month, marking the completion of my first-ever agreed six-figure lease-to-own deal.

A Bittersweet Twist

Just 5 months after this deal began, Vehicle .com hit the market. I had recently completed my ElectricCar .com sale and had fresh capital to reinvest. Naturally, I wanted to grab Vehicle .com to round off my portfolio. I offered $75,000, but it eventually sold to another investor for $120,000. I was genuinely happy for the buyer. I believe in celebrating others after they’ve executed.

Reflecting on the Journey

Today, six-figure deals are a regular part of my business, with God’s grace. I’m now averaging six figures in domain sales monthly, with a consistent five-figure income stream from active lease-to-own agreements.

Beyond domains, I’ve been receiving great returns in other investments as well — from real estate, crypto, stocks, mutual funds, gold, and bonds — all showing exceptional CAGR.

Each of these has a story, and I may share more from those experiences another time.

Final Thoughts

Warren Buffett once said, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket,” while @elonmusk Elon Musk countered, “You can put all your eggs in one basket — just watch that basket closely.” I admire both, and I try to find a balanced path across various sectors.

Life will always bring challenges. What matters is how we respond — how we show up for the tests life throws at us. Those are the exams we must pass to graduate to the next level.

This was more than a domain sale. It was a story of patience, conviction, ethical conduct, and divine timing.

Thank you again to God, my family, and all friends who’ve supported me on this path.

🙏🙏🙏

Ever notice how when CEOs and Founders proudly announce a newly acquired domain name, it’s almost always a .com?

You don’t tend to see the same level of excitement for alternative extensions.

Not surprising!

Don’t think I’ve seen this from GoDaddy before.

If the name is good then surely they’d prefer the expiry revenue?
