services BrandBucket's Michael Krell Resigns

Seems like there are all sorts of conflicts of interest on many sites in domaining, including bidders (shill), registrars (front running) and even website managers/owners (monitoring domains for profit). As an industry there should be a way to clear all of this up ...

Why experienced domainers say they don't handreg?

Experienced domainers already know about trademarks. Its just now getting to the point where the slim chance that a hand reg is going to be worth a lot isn't worth the time. Much better to find value in the secondary market - buy a name for $5K, sell it a year or two later for $10K. That...

The Domaining Dictionary

@Nezam Uddin - this is my take on backorders ... if anybody wants to modify or add, please do so: If you search for a domain name that’s already registered, you may see the option to place a backorder on the domain. If the current owner decides not to renew the domain once its registration has...

Domain Marketplace 3% commission?

Hard to get a domain marketplace off the ground - we tried. With only a $2 listing fee (per domain) and 5% commission - which includes an escrow-type support, we got some listing, made some sales, but it was a lot of work for not much success. We also offered Facebook, Twitter and Instagram...

GoDaddy vs Flippa, for selling domain ?

Aaaaah - now that's the question, isn't it? Depends on the domain name as well. My advice is whenever you register a domain name, you should first think about how that name could be used for an online business. You want to do keyword searches to find how valuable your prospective domain name...

Thanks @Isac - maybe @rathish can give me a positive review on this sale since I started pushing the domains to him within 5 minutes of his making payment ... then I will give him a positive review as well.

Pay Then Push

Wow @rathish - you are really something. You wait 6 days - I put this thread up to get NP community input into this situation - you finally pay, and then while I am pushing the domains, only 5 minutes after you paid, you reply saying you didn't receive the domains? Nobody should do business...

4L domain

@Kunal lakhwani - If you bought a random 4L with no meaning, let's say for $175 - you would end up sitting on it for quite some time before you could see a profit. There are no indications that the market is going to increase any time soon based on Chinese investments - which is what made the...

4L domain

Through ShortNames and NameBio you can see recent sales. You can also track 4L prices by watching auctions on NameJet - there seems to be a ceiling right now on 4L .coms, random letters with X, Z or J (the lowest priced 4L's) where they aren't selling for more than $175. If you are interested...

I had one domain buyer who did not want to use Paypal and we came up with a plan to list the domain on GoDaddy Auctions Premium for the price + 20% - the buyer agreed, domain was listed, then sold in less than an hour. However, I didn't get my money from GoDaddy for about two weeks ... but the...

Hi Scot- Your site loaded for me no problem. Looks like you're doing everything right so far ... and not a bad collection of names to start with - I've seen a lot worse! It looks like these were all newly registered? So now it just takes time. Few get lucky by getting an immediate sale...

tips How to find domain names that actually sell ?

Yes - look at keywords, and think like an end user starting a business - would I want to start my business with an online domain like MoneyAlmighty.com? Try not to pick up domain names unless you see a possible real use for the name. Good luck!

discuss Can I say, Just Dropdown or Expired domain have worth?

Expired domains can be one way to go ... but just because it is expired does not make it good - just means, most likely, someone did not see it worth being re-registered. I think you should look at what market you want to work in with domain names and find unregistered, dropped or expired...

Domain Marketplace 3% commission?

Yet everyone complains about the 15%-20% commissions on the big marketplaces. If a domain auction site can have a slimmer margin with a lower overhead, with only a 5% commission with a small listing fee (to keep it from getting flooded with poor names), don't you think domainers would like this...

Domain Marketplace 3% commission?

We set up Domain Burn about 6 months ago - tried a small listing fee (was only $2 per domain to list for the first 3 months) and a 5% commission on sales - including acting as agent (kind of like an escrow) to assist with the domain name transfer and payments. We had about 5 users list domains...

Look at shortnames.com/llll - this will show you what is currently for sale, as well as recent sales. If you click on the Price Charts link you will see what a "Quad Premium" is and a "Chinese Premium" - this will (somewhat) help you with the alphabet letters.- although it's only a rough guide...
