As I said (now in other words):
A FSBO is no auction, hence there is no time limit for a potential buyer, and the reactions to any offer come by the seller.
Generally the buyer feels no pressue, and is not aware of any other buyers offers.
At FSBO the buyer likely will play the "I offer 10$" game just to see your reactions
For many Sedo users this might sound familliar
With a time limited acution you ashure, that the buyer will not have the chance to play the "low offer game" to see your reactions.
In fact the reactions come by other buyers.
A auction changes the players from YOU vs BUYER to BUYER vs BUYER.
E.g. at a auction for let's say 7 days duration the buyer(s) know that this likely the only chance to put hands on that domain.
After the acution the chance has gone maybe for ever.
IMO it makes absolutely no sense to set a name at FSBO and "make offer" when you additionaly contact potential buyers.
In the end this will eaven hurt your sales price if you do not sell it. A second approach to a potential buyer like "domain again/still on sale" cuts your sales price at half.
Only one thing is important if you wanna play the BUYER vs BUYER style game:
Make shure that there will be at least some players
And if you are afraid of not getting enough money at the auction, set a "reserve" price.
If the auction ends then with no sale you got at least a
very realistic appraisal.
I love this appraisal system, cause it gives you direct feedback of your own appraisals
