Don’t forget, these lists update at 12 am Arizona time. Anyone on an opposite time schedule is screwed immediately. This platform is good if you buy junk domains.An interesting idea. I think I like it. Very new indeed, and makes some sense. Not to say that it is 100% perfect (no system is perfect, even ICANN is not perfect) but not dealing with hugedomains in either gd expiring auctions as competitors, or at dropcatch as a "house" - this alone is a fresh air.
Customers are happy to bid up to what they feel domains are worth to them. GoDaddy has the auction process about perfected. Let people bid and if nobody bids, offer a low bin.
In my case you sold a domain for $75 that I would’ve easily paid $10,000 for, probably double if need be. Oh well.
So there was a domain you were willing to bid supposedly 10K on and now it’s a good place to go for junk domains—which is it?
If you like to overpay there are plenty of other places for you to do so. Sounds like you are furious someone beat you to it is the real issue. You can always go offer the new owner that 10K.
Yes the domains are 99% junk, go look. The problem with their system is when you want the 1% that have value but you have no way to bid.So there was a domain you were willing to bid supposedly 10K on and now it’s a good place to go for junk domains—which is it?

And here’s another thing. Because I was a new customer I had to pre-fund my account, despite having a verified debit card on file. So if Namesilo listed the domain with a max bid of $20k, a customer who was allowed to buy with their CC had an automatic advantage.
It would be good to know the domains guys.
Not according to the namesilo rep that emailed me. And I won’t disclose the domain because I’m going to try to buy it in a month.AFAIK, everyone has to pre-fund their accounts. If domain has a max bid of $20k and you want to buy it for $20k, you must have $20k in your NameSilo account.

They’ll get it because the current owner vanished. My GoDaddy rep was trying to buy it on my behalf. There was also a buy service request ahead of mine and that rep never got a response either. I offered $5600 to start which should’ve got their attention if they were available.Okay, Thanks. Are you sure the person who bid $75 and won the auction did get the domain? Because most of my NameSilo auction purchases got renewed, it was a huge waste of time and I stopped checking their marketplace since then.
I was stunned after seeing that domain go for $75. But I have a feeling it could get renewed.Customers are happy to bid up to what they feel domains are worth to them. GoDaddy has the auction process about perfected. Let people bid and if nobody bids, offer a low bin.

When I turn the adblocker off, the LP loads fine.
As an alternate, perhaps the page can also be reconfigured to allow the page to load even if GA does not load. My guess would be that the page elements written in such a way that they need the _ga object to be available to trigger events to GA but since GA is blocked, this object is unavailable and hence does not allow the page elements to get rendered.So, if indeed it is GA that causes namesilo pages not lo load - then Name Silo might consider activating alternate 3rd party counters as an option, uncluding but not limited to statcounter. Being paid solutions, they may have aff. programs generating extra revenue for NameSilo, I for example would be happy to renew my existing statcounter subscription using your aff links
We made the post above in early November 2016. At that time (about 8 months ago), we were very happy to see momentum starting to build for our Marketplace. As noted, at the time of that post, we had generated a total of $145,000 of domain sales in the first full year of our Marketplace. I am very pleased to report some more recent results....
In the first half of 2016, we have generated over $450,000 of sales, with our largest 2 months of Marketplace revenue happening in the last 2 months in a row.... June 2017 alone saw $116,190 in sales!
Many of the ratios listed from our November 2016 post above are still holding regarding the ratio of sale types (auction versus offer/counter offer). A few other pieces of data from just the first half of 2017:
Note that Offer/Counter-offer sale means a pure BIN sale in many cases
- $450,967.35 in total sales revenue
- $399,453.20 sold via Offer/Counter-offer sale
- $51,514.15 sold via Auction sale
We are very encouraged by this growth with our Marketplace and we would like to thank many NP members on this thread and others for their very helpful and well-thought out ideas for improvement. We remain committed to offering a good option for your domain sales and continuing to enhance our offering.

It is one of the most amazing things in the report. Such a low % of chargebacks in "buyer-not-present" online ecommerce transactions...2 Buyer charge backs

Well buddy, I missed buying it too. It's expired CryptoFund.com which sold for $75 recently.
Someone else was faster. Although there is still some time left for renewal, I think the owner is not aware of it.
Oh wow CryptoFund.com for $75 that is really an incredible buy.
