$2 Domains

[VURG]

I've thought about this idea quite a bit.

In Nampros you have a section for high priced domains. How about a section for the worst domains. Domainers who have domains coming close to renewal date and cant afford reg fee always have difficulties knowing what to do with their domains.

Also there are many people who like to buy cheap .info domains and other very cheap extensions (e.g. .be) and then don't know what to do with them.

There is a third group of people who register average domains that they regret purchasing and need sone money quick.

If you had a section where the selling price was fixed to only $2, then those who want to buy names at very cheap prices will always be visiting that section and those who want to quickly offload their domains have a place to offload their domains.

If you don't fix the selling price then people will list names that they don't want to sell cheap and it won't be effective.

Alternatives to $2 Domains could be:
Domains: $5 or less
Domains: $2-$5
Domains: $5
Domains: $10 or less
Domains: $2-$10
100 $NP Domains

It could be useful to have categories similar to the following:
Low Priced Domains: $10 or less
Medium Priced Domains: $10 - $1000
High Priced Domains: $1000+

I personally think that a fixed $2 domain section would be most effective as a cheap domain name section as there would be minimised negotiating and people can just list the domains and expiring date and offload their domains to the first people that say sold.

I've attached a survey to get a better impression of what people would want in a low priced domain section.

If there were a low-priced domain forum (not saying there will be), I'd assume it to be priced at less than reg fee. "Low Priced" is not the best term though, its too relative. Clearance or blowout maybe. I voted for the $2-5 range since it's the closest.

I think $2-$10 or $2-$20 could work if you were to add a cheap section.

I don't think we need any more forums - I think if you are looking to sell a domain for under $5 then you should just post it in the NP $ forum, and convert the NP $ into PayPal if you so wish...

I've change my mind. I now like the idea of Clearance:$2-$10

I guess I'm of the opinion that the cheap names could fetch higher selling prices in some sort of clearance forum.

I understand that the current set up is great the way it is. It might be something which could be considered if namepros grows a bit and the Fixed Price forum gets to busy. In terms of generating revenue for namepros, the Fixed Price forum sells the most sticky threads and it is very frustrating for sellers trying to get exposure in it when there are over 5 sticky threads. Recently a large percentage of the sticky threads in the Fixed Price forum have been the $2-$10 priced threads. I expect that your paying customers would get better exposure for domains under and over $10 if the fixed price forum was split and the competition for exposure was reduced.

I voted $2-5, but I think the section should be called Clearance Domains $5 and under. Then again we do have a domain auction section where you can start your bad domains out at any price and of course the NP$ section which can be used as an auction.

$2 -$10 i think. That be good.
