discuss Bizarre auction!!!

[Patri]

I got no bid for my domain Polandholiday.com (appraised fo $xxxx)

But the contradiction for me is
when I look in namebio I see people make a lot of money with no sense name.

What wrongs?
Maybe the system of auction not showing my name in the list

I may have missed this being said, but what auction site was the name at?
Sometimes relatively strong names don't get bids just because they slip under the radar and are not noticed.

I assume the auction venue is here on Namepros.

The fact that people didn't bid doesn't mean the domain is not shown in the auction feed. It just means they are NOT interested in the name or your starting bid is a turn-off.

To ensure better visibilities for your auctions or listings, you can bump the thread. Your Namepros member category allows you to bump your listing every 12 hours.

Did your auction have an unknown “reserve”?
I hate those and usually try avoiding them; especially since when i see how high are; & often unknown! It’s B.S.

Where did you list?
How long did you list? (Patience is key)
Why didnt you use BIN? A lot of these “inferior” names you cite are actually sold BIN on impulse

know Poland has influx of refugees? never saw a country open arms more; 4.4m and counting. Not sure the env- being close to combat entice any to vacation in Poland.

Finally, try to get all-encompassing names;
which would cover a broad swath of area.

Too narrow; EuropeanHoliday is better imo or AmericanHoliday (North/South) & so on.

Putting too many eggs in one basket.
Also, couldnt “Holiday” improve as well?
That’s too narrow. And could it be written:
Polish Holidays? Is it grammatically correct?

Thank you, SIR!!!
Always check fate of these so called “sales”
Many are not operational; after; (if at all) still in business; better sign.
Many new members often take “sales” as “God” They can also mistakes; even fraud! Never good sign, if dead… imo
Thanks again, @Lox! You’re the man.

I agree with this
