Sold my second domain today after leaving Brandbucket. Now I can fully confirm that the profit I took from Afternic in 3.5 weeks is equal to the profit I took from Brandbucket in the last 3 months if not more.

Other advantages so far :
1) 2 Hot leads with 2 other names using my landers. If any of them sells, I will have profit equal to 6 months on BB!
2) Daily parking of $5 or around that
3) collecting smaller leads and able to cross sell my own names to prospects ( I am brokering the names myself rather than leaving it to DNS brokers).

Another beautiful thing, the name was sold when I was asleep, transferred and everything as it was on the premium network for Afternic! I just confirmed I want paypal and will get the money in 1-2 business days. Thats in average 10 days faster than the BB manual process.

Note : What I am listing here is my own personal experience. This doesnt mean its a best practice for everyone. Dont come whining to me you didnt get similar stats off BB.

What makes me happy today if that I got confirmed I did the right decision! I think time will only prove me right more and more as we move on!

Now I made my sales quota until mid february, so no stress if nothing sold for the coming 3 weeks! I am traelling to Mexico then Vegas then Texas right now. This sales was a great start for my trip. I will buy myself a cool gadget from the US this time

Good Luck everyone .. You will always need it!

I don't like the new image of the home page.
But my 4L is showing in the Premium section of front page so that's nice

It looks like you can't see all the Sellers anymore:

The new layout is great!

The search bar is now the first thing visitors see! This will change things... before you had to scroll up to find the search bar. Now people will know immediately to search. Could lead to more sales!

Other changes: Now there is 3 different categories on the front page!: 1)Featured Names, 2)Premium Names, 3) Recently Added Names. Looks like the term 'Staff Picks' is now Featured Names. Premium names are determined by price. And 'recently added' is self describing. This is the biggest game changer IMO. Before only 'staff picks' were on the front page by default, visitors had to navigate to the 'menu' to change the view. This change will also guarantee EVERY name graces the front page.

Also like that the 'categories' 'sort by' and 'price range' filters are now front and center. Before you had to click on the 'menu' to see these options. Awesome!

The sites UI is a lot more user friendly IMO.

If anyone happens to spot a 'bug' don't be shy! Post it so it can get fixed ASAP

Happy Domaining!

I think the cloud gave instant ideas to browse by if someone didn't have a specific keyword in mind, now it'll take effort to find it, although little effort, no effort is always better. But dunno yet, they know how users navigate so. We'll see.

Maybe a cloud should appear '4L, 5L, 6L, 7L+' when someone clicks on 'INVENTED' or the category drop-down should automatically appear once a section is clicked on.

Congrats on the sale!! One short question: have these sales come strictly from type in and similar or are you doing some marketing/outbound actions to attract users?

It's a great result, enjoy your decission!

I'm sorry the cloud has gone, it seemed quite dreamy and I think invited one in to see what was inside. As you say, they must know what they're doing, but it seems a shame to remove that small amount of whimsy in the process of change.

I thought it was maybe a close-up picture of Jupiter.

I've got the email from Khalan yesterday sold another one.

Also, I really like the new design.

not type ins. Its strictly someone buying from afternic directly or one of its 75 partners!
Im setting the Nameservers to DomainNameSales, so I am the one collecting the type in leads! This is where I have 2 hot leads as i mentioned before.

I had a month where I sold 6 names with BB, this was March last year, then followed by the dry seasons I wish the ones selling here right now dont face that same dry season
