discuss Sent FoxyTrip.com to auction. Bad or good idea?

so, do you own this name????

I don't believe in sending to auction when an offer is made.

Just beef up your negotiation skills and handle it from there.

Congrats! Enjoy your trip, hehe

Yeah yeah I know !

So you got an insanely crazy ass offer of $3500 for FoxyTrip.com that expired last month? Someone's trippin'

I've got some "foxy" names if that's your thing. I can offer foxyhoes.com - I thought that this would be good for small country gardens where horses would be too large. There seems to be a problem sabout training the foxes thought. So I picked up FoxyTalk.com so that I could just talk about it instead of doing it.

Actually I probably shouldn't say I can offer them, as I'm not really interested in selling them, but they seemed apposite to the thread.

so do you @Avtar629 actually own the name?

well yea. it's on it's way to transfer to LCN. wasn't my fault. they put the offer in after I had already started transfer. why?

cmon man! you think I'd sell something that wasn't mine? I got a rep you know? rep is everything. selling domains and scamming is one way to ruin your domaining biz forever.

word goes around quick.

why? are you the buyer?

it's ok. I'm not a**hole. all are welcome here so long as it's "foxy" or even "trip" for that matter.

strangest thing. when I googled "Foxy Trip" it references some kind of hallucinogenic drug? lol

@Avtar629 - would you be so kind as to update, showing the auction ended - what was the result? And if you would share your original cost that would be super too.

At minimum you sold for 3500 minus fees, congrats on the sale : smile :

yes it sold Usernamex. lol thanks for the heads up.

ummm but here's the glitch. The buyer is not paying YET. Sedo says they have tried to ask Buyer to make payment.

See this is exactly what I hate about auction settings.

I bet you since this auction ended with only them bidding? They are probably thinking hmmmmm maybe this domain isn't all it's cracked up to be?

Mind you $3500 was their first offer right off the bat. They didn't work their way up to it.

maybe also they didn't like that I push their $3500 offer to auction? so that's bad to them.

and then no one else bid except them?

that's double bad.

I wonder how many Sedo or any auction buyer feels like this when they have won an auction on Sedo or wherever?

especially when they are the only ones who won?

The bidder was someone from France. not to Stereotype. but the French are picky bunch aren't they? lol they probably reading this thread right now. lol

It's ok Frenchy! it's a good domain. just pay up already.

Don't punk out! fair is fair. You wanted it and now you got it.

so yea there's your update. bidder did not pay up yet.

and it's been a few days already. kinda worried but not really.

Don't know what Sedo will do though. I can't recover the money I spend to feature the domain over at Namebio.

which by the way did not net the kind of action I expected.

Always thought this was the "Template" the big boys do.

Do an auction. Pay to feature. and then all these bidders would come and boom. Fat check.

This domaining thing is not what I expected. I have to admit.

or maybe FoxyTrip.com just sucks?

Anyone ever wonder if this domaining thing is just a money pit? lol you see people making $x,xxx sales. and then you see namebio sold prices.

and then when you try to sell on these marketplaces via auction.

NOTHING!

like WTF???

Starting to think the key to success is really to just to post all domains on all the marketplaces and creating your own marketplace like Efty.

Another thing too. I'm realizing now

I think I need to create my own Efty marketplace like say for DNPremium.com and then create my own email address at my new domain YorDaddy.com lol like

[email protected] and then use that for all the domains I own as my whois info.

what do you all think?

if you came looking at my domains and saw the whois as my name and the email is

[email protected] would you go check out YorDaddy.com for the hell of it? because it's funny? lol


then if they visit YorDaddy redirects to DNPremium.com where my marketplace is.

Is this a tactic some slick domainers do to get people to go see their marketplace?

I think domainers really overlook the power of the "space" on the whois.

glad I realized this finally.

The people checking whois are people who are into domains. I've seen tons of whois info myself and many will say "This Website is For Sale". and found myself check out the domain of the whois email address.

how is that even possible to put on the whois data? doesn't registrars not allow this?

so many tactics. some are just basic. duh! lol

so if you have hundreds or thousands of domains and they all have an email address with the domain of the marketplace. it just makes sense that you will get people visiting the website of the domain of the email in the whois.

who has ever done this? and visited the website of the domain of the email in the whois?

Curiosity is too powerful.


so yea waiting for the bidder to pay up!

so your name is: Ar--------s S-----la

yup! why? lol cmon man. no gov's we don't do that here. can you edit that please? although it is public. still lol

i was just wondering because i saw it on GD expiring auction last week

see if SEDO can provide their info if they become a non buyer. need to call these people out

ahhh!! yea! there you go! yea see that? I transferred it out just in the nick of time. now the buyer has to wait like 60 days to transfer. or I can push to my LCN account where foxytrip is at now.

so that's where you see my stuff at. damn I wonder if that's how someone got my 420Sugar.com damn that really pissed me off losing that one.

LCN is screwing up but CheapDomain Godaddy reseller really is pissing me off by preventing LCN from seeing the whois info.

soon as domain hits expiration. they put up the default whois where your whois info is GONE and only thing there is a link that leads you to some captcha page.

so the receiving registrar has to manually do the captcha just to check the whois.

WTF?!?!?! and when you ask CheapDomain?? They just say "Oh all you gotta do is just request the authorization codes and that should switch the whois info back to it's originally."

ummmmm NOPE?!?!

that doesn't happen. so yea lost a bunch of domains to it. some luckily realizing eehhh wasn't all that create but others had to pay redemption fees on. and now working to get credit with LCN for them in the form of transfer credits.

What a hassle!?!?!

so yea. you did see it at auction. lucky for me no one bid as I was transferring.

do you recall when it started showing up on Godaddy expired? can you link me to the Godaddy expired section? never knew.

Thanks!

lol. I know right? I doubt it. won't happen. eehhh. we'll see. anyways got another one going on now. CoinBunker.com ! $1000!

wooo hoo! lol lemme stop. this is chump change compared to all you pros on here. 100 more of these and I'll have a good year.

shouldn't sedo provide the information for you to go after them?

it would be good to do a reverse look up on their email address

Well barnacles, I am sorry your buyer is stalling on payment @Avtar629 that sucks. Only because I have had so many buyers back out, now do my best mentally and emotionally to not count the sale as complete until I have the money actually in my possession and the domain is completely transferred.

Personally, I would rethink your push to auction strategy, it gives the buyer too much time to allow buyers remorse to take over. Even though it is supposed to be a binding offer, if they are new to sedo and they wouldn't care about the loss of their account privileges, a week to wait is too much time.

I'm slowly starting to believe this now. that plus seems like even if you try to go the auctio route in the hopes you will get eyes on it. and hopefully those "eyes" will make a bid.

but they never do mostly. it's sad.

captain obvious would say "you just have sucky domains"

but history shows use that "sucky domains" do get sold for high prices.

I just don't get what those people who sold those domains did to get more bids?

sometimes I feel like it's all fixed. that somehow you go thru all these paid features to get eyes on your auctions but somehow the traffic gets redirected someplace else.

anyone ever get this feeling?

I remember one sale on DN.Properties which is an auction site created by one of our fellow NP'ers.

It had a $xx,xxx sale for a domain.

I think such a sale was made because the only domain sold on it was that domain. so no "distractions"

Yea true you get tons of people checking out Sedo and Godaddy but that also means they have so many choices.

Creating your own auction site guarantees only your domains are being shown to all visitors.

And all your efforts to feature your domain auctions will also promote your domain for that auction website.

I'm starting to think if you really have to do auction route. it's best to keep things in house.

that plus you save yourself 15-20%
