For me Afternic was 1st, DAN 2nd, and Sedo 3rd. All domains were pointing to DAN landing pages.

From sales report on Name bio I see Sedo has done more sales than Afternic.
Any opinion?

Afternic is not reporting sales. Sedo does.

Afternic is not reporting sales. Sedo does.
But I see Afternic sales data there as well. May be they are not reporting all the sales but only selective sales?

Maybe the seller reported the sale to namebio and thats why it says afternic
because thats where they sold it

Apparently within Afternic there are more buyers than Sedo even if Afternic offers fewer domains than Sedo

I think Afternic has more domains because Sedo requires most of the times a TXT and It's time consuming

Afternic usually gonna get ya more eyeballs due to GoDaddy being in their MLS network. With that said I actually prefer Sedo as a company.

Domain Listings= I add to Sedo and done no problems. Afternic I add them and randomly domains that are already listed and fine fall into pending review for months for no reason unless ya email them.

Payments= Afternic domain sells and I just wait till they pay me. Sedo I have quite a few where as soon as I push the domain the ACH payment hits my bank the next day.

Support= I get quicker responses to support inquiries from Sedo, guessing buyers do as well.

Interface= Sedo may look dated but it works. Afternic not so smooth. It's like Afternic bought Dan to figure out what a clean lander is and they bought Uniregistry to figure out what a killer messaging system is that allowed successful self brokering.

I think Afternic should have redirected Afternic and Uniregistry to Dan and made Dan the new Afternic as it's clean with all the options ya need.

When I get a MLS sold email I prefer when it's Sedo as I know quicker transaction and payment. Afternic I feel same old thing the 800 lb gorilla in the room with unlimited money that just buys people out cause they have horrible coding skills so let's buy everybody over fixing simple improvements in their site that seems to take them forever to fix.

If eyeballs were equal I'd delete my Afternic account. But due to GoDaddy being in their MLS I use both MLS networks.

I've never sold anything at Sedo. My highest sell to date, out of all marketplaces, is at Afternic. :xf.smile:

Hi

i had more sales on sedo in 2022, simply because more names are pointed there.
had one sale on afternic last year, but it was pointed to sedo.

also did a LTO in Dec. 2022 @ Dan, but the name was pointed to unireg.

imo...

For those of you getting sales on Sedo... are these names priced? Or are they "Make offer"? Or a mix?

Afternic:

im a handregger since january 1999 back into Godaddy (phone/support key) and had listed those $10 regzs for $25,000 each on Afternic. You never know how much someone else might offer for some they value more than you could appraise

domain aftermarket sales about unprofessional IMO to ask the domain owner to make the first bid ala. $xx,xxx or x,xxx ??

,,so got email from afternic broker saying he negotiated with one for me below 25k two years ago to accept at 16k: dot nft . com

in others words i didn't do it

get lucky

Mixed, last one was make offer and buyer offered $2500, I never take a first offer but this was a domain I didn't really care about and had ya asked me for a price I probably would have dumped it for 1-1.5k so since he came in at 2.5k I said first time for everything and accepted his initial offer.

Pricing is always better on Sedo or Afternic as it enables the extended reach of the MLS networks. I've only ever been 10-20% priced listings but slowly I intend to bring this up to 40-50%.
