Has anyone used undeveloped.com to sell domains? They claim to be able to increase a domainers sales by 54%.
@Undeveloped
I sold a domain yesterday at Undeveloped.com and i was looking forward to a swift transaction.
This was my first sale at Undeveloped and what i realized was, the experience at Undeveloped could be more user friendly and optimized, if you had a real-time chat option, where we could have all the details of escrow sorted out over a few mins of conversation, instead of the hours of waiting, for the escrow agent's response, that comes with the current experience.
Give it a week or two and you'll be surprised
On another lighter note, you should thank your lucky stars you didnt had a sale on any other marketplace where "the hours of waiting" are actually days and once you push or transfer the domain you'll wait weeks to get paid. All these for 20%-25% commission, not 9% as in UD's case.
The UD guys are a bunch of hard working people, not only they deal with the transfers but also chase the late-payers via email and phone trying to close deals when the buyers are unresponsive once they click the BIN button or accept the offer. This takes time and I reckon they're extremely busy. While every seller wants to close the deal fast and get paid asap, most people actually live in La-La Land and expect the UD guys to handle the transfer, verify the payment and issue the money in ten minutes and also to offer 24/7 support (via chat 'cause email is apparently too slow for some) to Mr Doe Domainer who can't wait till Monday to close his $299 sale on Sunday. Unrealistic imo...
As for weekends, we have to understand that UD just don't have the numbers to handle Sat & Sun support. I think they're just about 5-6 guys alltogether. It's still a startup and it will take time for them to grow at Sedo's or GD's levels. Plus in Europe, weekend is weekend, you know... no weekend support, no biggie imo... However if you'd be about to close a six or seven figures sale on a Saturday I'm sure Reza can change his schedule

lots of problems with GD...
afternic, not too bad.
With undev (200+ domains sold), i tried many pricing strategies but i have to continue to test... it seems that on GD or afternic i could sell higher.
Could you tell us @Undeveloped what you'll improve ?
with afternic, i always sell at bin, with undeveloped i rarely sell at bin if i let the make offer.there cant really be a logical connection btw sale lander type and final sale price..however..there could be illogical ones
You need to google, "on a lighter note". I never criticised nor complained against UD. I agree they are far better than the lot, in terms of everything. I was just replying to @Innoverge as he couldnt waited for some hours, so I was wondering how would he had reacted if he had to wait for a day. Like everyone else I love weekends and even with a seven figure sale of some PRO, UD staff shouldnt be ruining their weekend schedule.On another lighter note, you should thank your lucky stars you didnt had a sale on any other marketplace where "the hours of waiting" are actually days and once you push or transfer the domain you'll wait weeks to get paid.

you forgot sedo, where you could wait for months...You need to google, "on a lighter note". I never criticised nor complained against UD.

I'm also online everyday for working (sometimes a few minutes, sometimes a few hours).personally, I hate weekends
as I work every day
and have to wait for others to come back
its 2019 and we have internet 24/7
how can anybody afford to have weekend ??????
with afternic, i always sell at bin, with undeveloped i rarely sell at bin if i let the make offer.
And maybe the godaddy appraisal price near to the bin on afternic could help selling higher.
Thanks to Undeveloped chasing a buyer for me - I should have another deal closed this week , this time being four figures.
and the closest second .. whether sedo or gd or afternic is so far behind you can't even see them...
exactly
very well said
true
well.. we better stop praising undev so much or tomorrow the gd monopoly team department will make them a buy offer of 100 million lol
I think one sale already failed last minute .. with epik if I remember well..
Buyer paid today.Thanks to Undeveloped chasing a buyer for me - I should have another deal closed this week , this time being four figures.
