Do yourself a favor and move on. You didn't sell the domain. You just got a ridiculous offer, and that happens all the time. Because you're a new domainer, you're thinking- this is a once in a life time opportunity! There's a contract! I need to...
OK, let me be a little friendlier instead of blasting you, and explain why Sentenc is worthless. Your main goal as an investor is to buy domains that can make sense commercially. A company name, a product name, a service name etc. Would you call...
Sentenc.com is worthless and you'll learn it in a year when you drop it unless you'll be foolish enough to renew it. This is one of the domains I was referring to when I said that all valuable words that are missing a letter are taken and the...
The answer is a resounding NO. There are 0 domains that you can handregister for $10 that can make actual money in an auction, unless you happen to hit the jackpot with a specific future trend early and then later when the trend matures into...
@vikingrinn A squatter is "a person who unlawfully occupies an uninhabited building or unused land". In this case, a digital version of land. The person who has it now bought it at auction after it expired. So there's nothing unlawful about it...
First of all, using the word 'squatter' in a domain forum isn't a smart move when you're trying to consult with domainers. Domainers are being accused of being squatters all the time, and most people who use the word don't understand what it...
The problem with sending people to the auction page is simple: most people who want to buy an aftermarket domain just want to search the inventory. They don't want to participate in an auction so sending them to a page that says auctions and is...
Afternic, despite its flaws, has been much more effective for me than Sedo. I suspect quite a few people would choose Afternic over Sedo, if they could only choose one distribution network. Regardless, I agree that for the 15% commission, or 25%...
@Jannes Afternic is a distribution network. We're paying the commission in order to be listed not only at Godaddy but also at a lot of other registrars. The fact that Godaddy's main search is currently horrible, doesn't allow proper filtering and...
100% agree. I think domainers are annoyed by the Afternic search box disappearing, but that's only because we use Afternic daily. Only 1% of sales originated from Afternic according to @GoDaddy (mostly sales to domainers would be my guess)...
@bmugford As I replied to you on Twitter/X- the general public doesn't know @Afternic. It's a listing and distribution service for domainers, not an actual marketplace. @GoDaddy should integrate the Afternic advanced search into its main search...
I sure hope so. I randomly checked a few of my domains now and they appeared as they should. But if it's a known issue from the past, people should check and see if their listings are indeed appearing as they should.
@Sperry8 Godaddy does suggest some purchase options from the aftermarket below, but they're totally random. A mix of random extensions and random words. It's a mess. Visitors can search the inventory properly if they head over to...
@Sperry8 I think that's exactly the problem. The afternic inventory isn't easily findable on Godaddy. At least not in a straightforward way.
Head over to Godaddy.com and imagine that you're a buyer who wants a domain that starts with the word...
