Has anyone used undeveloped.com to sell domains? They claim to be able to increase a domainers sales by 54%.
I am giving Undeveloped a try with some of my names. So far it's intuitive to use and simple in a good way.
Two of the names I tried to list were "already listed" and the system told me to reach out to them to clear this up. I sent an e-mail to their support and haven't heard back 18 hours later.
I think the language illustrated in this screen-cap could introduce doubt into a buyer's mind. The name is available to Buy Now, but elsewhere on the same page it says it "may" be for sale.

One last thing: the system seems to be slow, at best, to recognize once your uploaded names are using their nameservers. I uploaded my names first and then changed my nameservers. When I go into my settings, the system will not allow me to implement payment plans, because it says that at least 50% of my names must be using Undeveloped nameservers in order to implement payment plans. Well, 100% of my names in Undeveloped are using their nameservers and have been for the past 18 hours. It's unclear if the system will ever recognize that or if it's something you have to engage support to have them manually recognize it.

eliminate the 50% rule
Do I have to change the nameservers to Undeveloped?
Maybe I am misunderstanding the rules...way too mentally drained today but will take another look...as I understand it half of the names (or more) you have listed on their site have to be parked with them before you can offer the installment payment option. In a day or so I will have to revisit their site with a more rested brain than I am working with now!
50% or more parked = payment plan option = true

Your names will be added to your account.
we've already planned to make the copy smarter. For example when you have a buy-now set we'll still show "This domain is for sale".
Eventually, it'll automatically pick up which names are using our nameservers within 24 hours.
Great.
Sounds good to me. I can't really fathom why anyone would object to the language "This domain is for sale" unless they think it shows weakness on their part, like: Please, please buy me domain?
Yup it already did. It took about 24 hours, so I'm all good with that now.
It seems there's a bug when you try to set the Buy Now and Starting Offer price at the same time.
The system tells you that the Starting Offer must be at or above the Buy Now, which doesn't make sense.

Hi just wanted to report that I already had a good sale of about $1,500 through an Undeveloped lander. I moved 175 domains there two weeks ago -- previously I had none. After the sale, I added another 75 domains.

I like the concept of undevloped. 2 things I dont like the fact it says this domain May be for sale and the time it takes to actually see the bin or make offer icon appear.
Was your name listed elsewhere for a while with no bites or is this a new purchase that was listed at undeveloped?
Was it a BIN or make offer?
the time it takes to actually see the bin or make offer icon appear.
I bought it in January and had it listed in Afternic with a Uniregistry BIN lander up until a couple weeks ago. I've been playing with my prices, so I'm not sure what I had it listed for prior to bringing it to Undeveloped.
It was a BIN with the option to make offer and/or use a payment plan. But the buyer simply BIN'd it.
Yeah I'm glad you brought this up. The time lag can be significant. I think I've seen it take up to 5 or 6 seconds.
