I can see a number of these getting picked up - there a few others I'm surprised they accepted the high reserve and can't see selling because of it. What do you think?

I have multiple bids out on platforms for 10k on .ca's and I'm not even being answered.

I start the bids at 5k, if I hear nothing I move to 10k, if I still hear nothing I cancel the negotiation. If they don't even want to entertain the notion of starting a negotiation then so be it. I just move on to the next and hopefully they are willing to take my 5-20k.

Right now I have set 20k to be my max opening bid but for the correct domain I could be convinced to go higher. Problem is all the people sitting on their thumbs, you cannot sell if you don't at least start a conversation.

I don't know about you guys bit I will return an email to anyone offering 5k on a secured platform. Least I could do is respond and say... thank you but I'm looking closer to 75k for that one. At least that tells me where we stand.

Honestly.... I get more responses when I bid 5k on a .com, most of those guys at least get back to me.

I prefer to get a response saying whatever to a dead silence. When that happens I just put the domain on my dead list and move on. Right now there are 92 domains on my dead list with no response to an offer.

Mind you to be fair, some of those are sweet domains but all they had to do was initiate a conversation to say.... hey good start... lets focus on xxxxx to start.

This is interesting.. Thank you for sharing. I suspect it's a matter of pure negligence on the part of these domain owners. Maybe they haven't received any offers over years of ownership and rarely check the associated e-mails.

It's so markedly strange that there would be no correspondence whatsoever.. I think anyone would be more than happy to entertain a genuine opening offer of 5k, 10k, 20k, etc., irrespective of the domain's quality.

Again, extremely interesting to hear the feedback.

MapleDots · Mar 21, 2018

I am actually accustomed to it because a lot of these domainers want 75-100k plus for the.ca and a few lucky ones might even get it but most won't even get anywhere near.

I do well when I find someone tired of waiting and in need of some quick cash. That is a numbers game where I have to make multiple offers for each hit. The problem is there are only so many good domains to be had so its a pretty slow process.

dancarlson · Mar 21, 2018

I just moved my domains from Domain Brothers and going to try efty out, I didn't even get my domains all set up and i had an offer ( albeit a low ball offer but... I have there name and email, found them on linked in etc so that is my data that i can see, where as Domain Brothers keeps all data until a sale is made )

also i was awaiting there new landing pages, as the ones they currently use for non buy it now domains, has adsense on them that you aren't receiving any compensation for, and they are promoting one of there social media programs right beside your domain name.

I will see how efty works out.

I just listed some domains with Domainbrothers but no on answers the phone - is it truly just a 2 man show?

MapleDots · Mar 21, 2018

Efty is a much better choice and I looked at your site dan.... I still love the RedTagDomain.ca handle

You need to correct the phone number and put some dashes in there, it looks like a european number the way you have it set up.

One of the things that bugs me on Efty is the infinite scrolling. If I want to get to the contact info at the bottom of the page while searching it just keeps scrolling and scrolling. I much prefer a next page button.

Thanx Mapledots

I still have a lot of work ahead of me, I just uploaded over 600 names, and had to individually add bin prices and pick category and specific brand of landing page for each name so, tomorrow i will look at the over all look and feel of it including images, and look towards getting some logo's made of some of my better names. I will defiantly look at the number thing as well. I just finished my names on there earlier today and already had one offer like i said and another inquiry just came in so.. so far so good lol.

I find the efty pages index incredibly well on google so I expect you will probably sell more than on domain brothers. I don't know but I just don't feel like handing those two guys too many sales.

I have nothing against domain brothers, it just wasn't a fit at this time, it might in the future time will tell. I wish them well and there clients as well.

I just had a look at your Efty based marketplace @dancarlson ! Really nice clean professional look! And a very nice portfolio! The entry photo is fantastic!

I was wondering if there was a reason why you did not activate the secure marketplace setting? Just wondered.

Yeah they have a nice clean look, I was going to go with them but the branded favicon and small logos did not work for me. So I took some of the design cues and designed my own lander freehand and I'm using google sheets to import my domains. My spreadsheet automatically takes those 3 columns and imports them to the site every time I make a change. It's all pretty well automatic and free.

I'll bet you bottom dollar you're staying after all that work

It could be, or something similar. Thou shan't get defensive, but it would be childish to assume anything but the bests from MapleDots. In any case, however, these acquisitions fascinate me. It's a vicarious experience for all of us!

In other Canadian news - shoo snow, I woke up snowed in this morning! I wish I'd spent some interest free qash and flown elsewhere - ideally tropical and warm to open the pores while snacking on some yellowfin served on planks.

Now, that would make me happi!

Move to Vancouver!! We have record snow on the mountains but the daffodils and crocus’s are out in town!!!

I ended up not buying any this drop, but a few I had admired I see you got! Some really nice names! CraftShop, BeautyPalace,CityVet, EthicalFashion, UrbanFoods, Fitco and others seem very much in tune with times. Even though longish, BusinessNavigators and DigitalEngagement both have a very nice ring and I can see you doing well with them. Best wishes for success with them all!

Is there a way to see how much was paid for a domain in the TBR drop aside from actually being in the auction yourself?

yes.. a lot of spraying businesses aorund.. homes.. lawns.. or industrial types.. that wasn't abotu skunk spraying .. that';s not really a money maker..

ourtown is nice too..

always chck plurals if taken.. for fun of it.. this one is taken.

I had some success selling weed keyword + foryou.ca
so I took cryptoforyou for that reason mostly.

the rest is intereating too.

this is fun for $3usd a piece.. it stops being fun at regular prices though.. except maybe for couple of dn on that list.

cheers

Guys,

I just noticed one of the domains I sold last year was dropped...

Should I register it and try to sell it to them a second time? Or, is that just way too evil...? xD

It's a business, if you think the person is still using the domain, or there are other potential buyers then yes. It's hard to really say not knowing the name.

good luck
