What is the best way to sell domains that estibot prices between 250 and 1500? I have several I am looking to sell. For that matter where is the most efficient place to sell all domains. I have been using godaddy but not having a lot of success.

Also, I am open to using a good domain salesman if you know any.

I was selling a domain which had $x,xxx estibot value for $1 and no one was interested in buying it. Check around this forum or google what other people say about estibot value. I seen domains that were registered 3 months ago and their estibot value is measured in $x,xxx but the domain itself has no meaning at all that somebody would use for their company website.

Make a google search on how to value a domain.

Some of the things that you might consider looking at is:

Age
PR rating
Recent/Previous domain sales
Extensions Taken or Already established websites with same keywords

Again, you can find a lot of expiring domains with godaddy that were registered 15+ years ago, have $x,xxx estibot value, have PR1 or PR2 rating and no interested buyers for $12 so there is a lot of things you need too look at before buying a domain.

Esitbot value has no meaning at all.

Dont go with what automated valuation tools say about your domain.
Namepros Appraisal forum might be one place to get value for your domains.

And as above said follow the steps.

Best way to sell a premium domain... is to let the "domain name", do all the talking.

in other words, premium domains speak for themselves.

:)

imo....

Thanks for the suggestions guys..Assuming I have some premium names where should I list them? Are there any good brokers out there that find end users?

Thanks!

First, use the word 'premium' carefully. If you hand regged these domains any time within the last many years, they aren't premium. If you bought them cheaply at godaddy or sedo auctions etc, they aren't premium because other domainers will pay a high price to win premium domain auctions. Premium refers to a solid dictionary word or a multiple-worder, in dot.com, that is in common every day use. It also refers to ultra-fantastic words, in other extensions.

If your word is a true premium, estibot will appraise it in the tens or hundreds of thousands. Of course, as others above said, you can't go by automated appraisals; just saying, an auto appraisal will see strong enough metrics in a premium domain (with exceptions being very premium brandables, for example some fantastic LLLL that isn't a word) to give it a super high appraisal. Automated appraisals will give a 250 - 1500 appraisal easily to any old domain you hand reg.

As far as hiring a domain broker, they won't be interested unless your domains are clearly sellable to obvious end users. If they are inventive domains where you have to figure out how to sell them and how to interest a buyer, a broker won't touch them.

Brokers work on commission, so they need to work with domains that have clear value, clear sellability. Most brokers will not put hours or days of work into trying to sell your domain for $500, since they'll only get a small commission off that sale.

To find out what your domains may be worth, put 2 or 3 of them up in our appraisal section to see what we think of them. Then we can give you better tips on how to sell them. Until we know the quality of your names, we just can't advise. Because there are a lot of domainers who reg the worst names, names that will never sell and never be used, and hype them as 'premium'. We need to see what you got.

Good luck, welcome to the forum :)

Want to know if you have true 'premium' domain names? List them for sale here on NP for $5,000 Buy-It-Now. If they're still unsold a day later, you'll know if your name(s) is 'premium' or not.

If you TRULY had a premium domain you would not be asking this questions. The offers would be coming to you weekly if not daily.

Whenever I see a domain for sale and the subject line has the word "premium" in it?
I know it is a crap domain.

Any domain that would be premium?
Would not have to say it is, because people know premium.

And if the domain fideldies is any indication of your so called premium domains?
You really have nothing.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Who is better Sedo or Godaddy to sell domains?

The Fidel name was for fun and I do not consider it a premium domain.

The term premium refers to something of exceptional quality but that doesn't necessarily mean it has to sell for $1 million. Godaddy Premium Listings basically refer to any domain already registered with a price in excess of $99 .COM, .Net, .Org, .CO. I would list at both Godaddy and SEDO though keep in mind Godaddy Premium Listings charge 30% commission - steep but it has been a meaningful source of sales. I have not found Afternic or other marketplaces to be worthwhile. Note I have not tried DomainNameSales.com but many domainers with traffic portfolios have had good experiences with DNS.

Oh no? Then what would you say is premium then? Maybe that is where the difference lies.

.com
no hyphen
single word that describes a industry
only correct and most common spelling
max two words in the correct order thats very specific GroceryStore.com CarWash.com etc (I do not own these but own names within those lines exactly)

AND only someone who does not own plenty of tier 1 names thiinks that great names get emails daily, ITS bs, not true, even if you owned cars.com and it wasnt developed and you had a sales page on it / for sale sign you would still get few emails on it.

You guys really need to start learning the truth of whats going on here.

Good domains generally get inquiries on their own. Distribution channels can help Afternic/GoDaddy etc... as the more places it's listed the higher chance the right buyer will stumble across it.

Emailing end users can work but the success rate and ROI will be lower as it's the equivalent of door to door sales. The person wasn't looking for your domain so you have to convince them they need your domain and make the numbers align.

So in my opinion the best method is to actually...

1) buy domains that make business sense
2) get them listed in distribution channels Afternic/GoDaddy etc...
3) patience for the right buyer

Going door to door or email to email trying to sell something=cold calling

Someone that contacts you first=warm/hot lead as they have already showed the initiative to buy by contacting you just gotta make the numbers align

Equivalent of having a car lot with 500 rust buckets and nobody ever stops so you email people trying to sell them versus having a car lot with 500 shiny gems where people stop all the time. Someone that walks on the lot has the intention to buy so all that remains is price negotiation.

So arm your portfolio with shiny gems/distribution channels and let them come to you. If you never receive offers and your domains are distributed across multiple channels then possible you need to evaluate your definition of premium.

Good Luck :wave:

Well said, premium names dont need a broker or you running around trying to find a buyer, they will come to you

An experienced broker will only be the difference in how much you sell it for...

you cannot possibly own anything premium or you would know that getting emails with offers happens MAYBE once every 6 months or so and that is a HUGE maybe.

This is really wrong.

A domain doesn't need to be .com to be premium at all. What about casino.net, insurance.org, car.info, etc. Those are worth well over 10k. It also doesn't need to describe an industry, it just needs to be generic. Plus, it does not need to be 2 words or less either. What about carsforsale.com for example, that's worth at least 150k. Domains with a hyphen can be premium too: T-shirts.com, 2-2.com, used-cars.com, etc.
