I registered some nice domains at godaddy , but now I have to wait 60 days to sell in auction in other websites. Which site do you recommend me the best to auction my domains? As I see and reading on namepros, high % is getting succesfully sold at sedo and namejet before than godaddy. It seems godaddy is not good to sell in auctions. Any advices of sole pros please?

GoDaddy has the 7 day auction option, you should call customer service, they can walk you through the process. Commission is higher than most, but they handle escrow and transfer seemlessly.

For recently registered domains, I think you should consider Namepros as the main auction house :) This is because such domains tend to sell below $10. GoDaddy minimum auction success fee is $15, Sedo's is $59, and even Flippa charges $9 for every listing. So it is very unlikely that you sell there by auction and stay profitable. And it is totally unlikely that recently registered names will be auctioned by Namejet. If newly registered domains are relatively good, better not auction them, but price them at BIN / "Make offer" at all major marketplaces and wait.

I am newbie on this, but I have the feeling I will never sell domains on BIN. I don't see people looking for a domain and then aito purchase ny domain. I think st least in auction, my domain is displaying and some poeple could see. This is my opinion. For example. I just registered : Viagrasupply/viagrasupplies.com , I can't Image how one day one person look for that and purchase them. I bed more on display in auctions and pray some interes investor or chinesse or whatever will like it, I see more chances. And of course I have a problem on BIN. What price should I set up my domain even if i feel its good even If estibot vsluates for + xxxx$?
Don't know guys which is the best way yet to get finally my first sale. I was about to sell rentingbike.com via email all end users for just 250$ but finally it seems he doesn't want anymore. I starting to get down with the domain world, I know hard to sell, but I see people newbie like me selling no sense large letters/3-4 words domains .com and still gets their sales. ...

The algorithm is this:
1. Read, read, read this forum. Watch domain auctions and sale reports. Many weeks of reading and observing.
2. Buy good domains that end-users will want.
3. List them and wait for several years.
4. Profit.

If you have domains that end-users will never want, why do you think investors will want them? To keep in stock and never sell to end-users?

And please forget Estibot and other automatic evaluations.
