Hello,
Off and on I go on Expired domain auctions at godaddy and Dropcatch and Namejet just out of curiousity.
Is it just me or does looking at these lists get you depressed? or even worried?
Especially when you see Private Sellers on Dropcatch or Namejet or Godaddy (Expired and Closeouts) with "semi- decent" domains that you personally would have registered them had you thought of them?
Does it get you depressed seeing domains similar to yours in these "sections"?
Does the thought ever come in your mind "wow! this domain is just like mine. Same niche yet here it is $15 bid start. NO BIDS with 2 days to go. Why?"
I know most people would simply ignore this fact and think "wow! what a great domain! for only $15? That's a steal! I'll bid!"
I'm starting to realize how crazy this biz really is.
For someone to bid on a domain when it's been on everyone's radar and no one bids?
I guess one man's garbage is another man's treasure.
but still though. The fact that a domain similar to mine is here sitting in the relative "domainer's graveyard" with no bids.
That has to stick to your brain a bit and then you think. "maybe my domain sucks too?"
"If I put my domain for auction here, it won't get bids?"
sometimes the domain at expired or dropcatch or closeout auction actually looks and sounds better than your domain! that just makes things worse! doesn't it?
This is probably why I have never auctioned yet a domain and I am dreading the idea of proceeding with my plans to do so now.
So much negativity goes thru your brain especially when you frequent these "Graveyards".
Nothing is more lonely than a domainer (Private Seller) at Dropcatch auctions listing a domain that's like on page 3 because it has zero bids. It makes you not want to even bother listing domains at auction really.
So what about your domaining gets your depressed or worried or anxious?
The above is just an example. But you can share yours too.
