I appreciate the heads up and I will check those threads. However, if you didn't want to answer the question, you could have just skipped over it. This is the beginners section and there could be great perspectives that weren't displayed in previous post.

You will find that very few people will respond to the same questions over and over again.

I agree with @NYJimbo and attitude like you're will not go too far. What @NYJimbo is right - a lot of threads with this exact same question, several with very good answers and also member fatigue in answering this same question ad-nauseum!

That said, read this thread - https://www.namepros.com/threads/5-steps-to-successful-sales-for-a-newbie.1097669/#post-6870552
This is very good information and provides good ideas!

What people are saying is, you must do your homework first, and if you don't find an answer or still have questions after, then members will be happy to help. The question has been asked a million times.
Actually, it doesn't matter. If you have good names, end users will find you and come straight to you with inquiries and unsolicited offers. Regardless of where you park or list them. Of course, exposure does not hurt. But the exposure is unimportant is your names are not good, and nobody wants them. They will be drowned among millions of others.

I understand what everyone is saying and have gone back through. Being new to this site, I hadn't really thought to look back. It was the tone of some of the responses that rubbed me the wrong way, when I just started into all of this and am just seeking a little advice. I understand the etiquette now and will do my due diligence before I ask again. Thanks for all of the advice that was/ will be given.

As others have said, @Halldomains86, there are a fair amount of related content on NPs but I do remember how in the early days it was complex to find what I was looking for, so I will take a little while to answer your question. Welcome to NPs by the way!

Re where, I agree with the advice to list as many places as possible (do read the TOS to make sure no exclusive listing requirement (the brandables have that). Also read carefully the commission along with any minimum amount. The biggest places are Sedo and the Afternic Network (check if your extensions, registrars and BIN etc. qualify you for their fast transfer premium network in particular) and GoDaddy/GoDaddy Auctions.

If your domains are expected to sell for a price that the $60 minimum comm at Afternic would be a big chunk, you may want to look at other possibilities including the registrar marketplaces.

I would definitely consider Undeveloped. They are very responsive, growing, have reasonable commissions, and have great landers.

You may want to consider selling domains, either at fixed price or in auction, here at NPs.

Flippa is another option that I have not used myself, but that have both auction and classified sections.

When listing multiple places be sure to use BIN only one place, with others Make Offer, to be sure you can't sell twice simultaneously. When you get an offer, take off the BIN before negotiating, it if is a different venue.

As well as listing in marketplaces, make sure your domain is set up so that if someone enters it in a browser they will go to a page that shows that the domain name is available. This is probably the most important single thing to do.

Remember that in general you can't move a domain to a new owner in first 60 days except through push at the registrar. During this period the registrar marketplaces make a lot of sense.

The very best wishes for success in domain investing!

Thank you for your understanding and taking the time to help!

Welcome, Halldomains86. I'm new to NP also and I agree that there's a lot of information to absorb at first.
Here are some things that have been helpful to me: 1) Read through the Popular Beginner Discussions in the Domain Beginners section. 2) Read through the NP Blog section. I've gone back through the last year or two, and that helps give an overview of the industry. 3) Take a look at some of the related domaining sites such as DNA Academy and Domain Name Wire. This will also help you learn more about the business of domain investing.
As far as places to sell domains, what I've done is chosen three sites to list on. I think the best way to learn is to just try different things and see what works best for you.
Good luck!

@J Sokol thanks so much!

before you think about places to sell....

think first ---
about the names you are about to buy, or have already purchased.

cuz, the quality of the domains you acquire, is what will make them easier to sell.

imo…..

@biggie thanks!

you're welcome!

most newbies read about the domain sales, and that's all they focus on.

rarely do they get the insights on buying the right names, first.

just saying....


imo….

@biggie I just want to soak up ad much info as I can
