I listed a domain for appraisal help/thoughts and received a PM asking about the lowest I would take for it. I am not mad about the person that did it but I see no reason to just jump to me setting my lowest price. I would rather it sit on my roster for seven more years.

Was that for the recent 4-letter you had evaluated in professional appraisals or a different one?

It was the one that you gave me a very thorough and thought out, appraisal on. Thank you again for taking your time to do that. It is by no means what I consider my best domain but it is probably in the top 50% of what I consider my best domains.

Right on! Thanks for letting me know and congrats on the offer, even if it was a bit on the lower end of the spectrum - It at least lets you know there is some interest when someone reaches out like that trying get a wholesale price for it.

It also means you're on the right track...

I think np should find more enduser to come to np.

I vote for np authority to invest 100k not of our money into advertising toward endusers so we all sell here names for more money and it all go to our pocket. but we still will say thank u np authority

with that they would probably have to get limited on starting bids on 'our' crap names ...too much work

you complaining to get an offer through appraisal you posted or that 'we' are unable to see your 50%

I'd create market for np member myself... just cause I think it's great idea for all member here to lump and showcase whole folios in one searchable.place. bin makeoffer even auction.. but i cant code. plus my site would start with 0 member.

this is why I tell em do it here.

but of course its 2025. if they wanted do it itd be done long back.

oh well another top idea bite dust.

not knocking landers but dare I say such market would be more useful and beneficial to us and np.. than landers..

why.. cause we have 500 other lander options.

ans only couple markets.. none of which are for us.. good folk of np

plus it can make np sale fee money


like I said.. bite dust

I think buyer request threads should to limited by timeframe to prevent uncertainty and buyer must reveal the real transactions , probably not detailed deals, but lets say to inform other that he / she has bought a domain from bla bla bla, and show a little deal screenshot

its good when the buyer really want to keep the integrity of this NP forum and not to use this forum to break and waste other time.

Today, yes, but once we finish our roadmap, the landers will be 100X to 1000X more useful to domainers than another marketplace. (Clarification: What we're currently building is more important than a marketplace.)

That said, NamePros will likely offer a new marketplace (or partner with one) at some point in the future. That's been our plan since day one, but plans have evolved and priorities have shifted.

It's the most logical product for NamePros: NamePros Marketplace.

why.. cause we have 500 other lander options.

Yes, but none of them have what we're building.

We just had to finish the foundation and building blocks first.

Next, something the industry desperately needs.

I don't think you understand enduser or wholesale market at all. For lower names its 100X wholesale vs enduser for higher names its a lot less 10X and on high end even 2X. People sell names for $20 that sell later for 5K all the time. Thats the idea of wholesale. It's 3% STR rate for endusers . You will sell one name in 30 years on average. People decide to get liquidity instead.

 

[ksusha64]

The problem with this section is that people with 0 feedbacks always waste people's time. They post and never buy anything. Another issue is people never follow directions. You ask for one word dot com taken in 100 extensions plus and they send you 838jshsh-sh.biz name instead asking for 20K

I think u overstate things

do u sell often for 20 what sells later 5k? 99.9 cases it's impossible to know anyway.

no matter what u say it's obvious to most here that np wanted section isnt working. and as i said greedy cheap resellers selling or buying from same... just never can work. by nature of the beast.

u can call me stupid fock but no one can deny requests to buy here are a monumental failure.

let's hope we all figure out solution.

if not I will make site where u all come and list whole folios. and iwill call it the alcy market.

but all few 100s 1000s.np users will need to come.

this is why since we all here now it's best np make market.

do u have comment about np market section? versus stupid posts to sell buy. which is how cavemen did it. ty

You may want to rethink that suggestion. If NamePros were to pour a massive amount of money into attracting end users, all it would do is create yet another retail marketplace—basically another Atom—funded by our own wallets.
And once you shift NamePros from wholesale to retail, the entire dynamic breaks. Do you really think you’d still be picking up solid 4-letter .coms for under $200, or strong brandables for under $500? Of course not. Wholesale opportunities would disappear overnight.
If companies like GoDaddy, Atom, and other major marketplaces—with huge budgets and infrastructure—haven’t solved this for you, NamePros isn’t going to magically do it.
The value of NamePros is that it remains a wholesale ecosystem—a place where members can move domains quickly, get liquidity when they need it, and then reinvest when they’re ready. It’s a win-win system that keeps the community alive.
No reason to let the cat out of the bag and destroy one of the last true wholesale channels that actually works.

Yes most sales are 100 X $20-$2k $50-5K otherwise no way to be profitable. Most people sell atom names at 1% or less of selling price. Thats 100 X. Thats standard for namepros and wholesale market. The problem is that most names on namepros sold for $20-50 are worthless. They will never be sold even at 1% STR. The quality of domains on this platform went down in last 10 years by 10 X. The market place has 90% of worthless names not worth $1. Most serious domainers left the platform because its flooded with junk.

of course asking np to pay 100k from not our wallets was a joke. I'll try smiley face next time.

my point is current requests model isnt working and frustrated most. I think it's clear from comments.

I see zero issues with np market where we post whole folios or any names.. bins.. auctions offer..etc.. it will do much more than just eliminate half posts from forums. so forums can be what they meant to.. debate points. not sale posts.

a nice searchable market here... with options added as we go along.. from say 1 to 3% sale fee where np mods handle sale... changes nothing for most.

plus makes few bucks for np.

which ultimately can lead to site improving for all longterm.

if I was in charge I'd be creating market right now. or 10yrs ago.

It's just a separate section like landers really. now your eyes have to scan 100 sale posts of which 90% never go anywhere... everytime u press new posts button.

a disaster.

with an obvious market solution.

From Ksusha64.Yes most sales are 100 X $20-$2k $50-5K otherwise no way to be profitable. Most people sell atom names at 1% or less of selling price. Thats 100 X. Thats standard for namepros and wholesale market. The problem is that most names on namepros sold for $20-50 are worthless. They will never be sold even at 1% STR. The quality of domains on this platform went down in last 10 years by 10 X. The market place has 90% of worthless names not worth $1. Most serious domainers left the platform because its flooded with junk.
Most domain sales are $20–$2k for small names, $50–$5k for bigger ones. Selling at 1% of potential value is standard. The problem? Most $20–$50 domains are worthless—they’ll never sell. In the last decade, marketplace quality has dropped tenfold; 90% of names aren’t worth a dollar. That’s why serious domainers left.


responce from joe drake.I have a friend who flips garage sale finds. While everyone rushes out early, he shows up the day before. He knows exactly what will sell and at what price. Every month, he sets up at a $60 wholesale space, pulls $15k profit in a day, then marks down the rest to cost—or leaves it free. People swarm like pigeons on a beach.
The point: know value before you buy, and stop knocking a platform others ignore. Call it garbage if you want—others are quietly making a killing.

I made a Venn diagram that explains the problem...

 

[Simon SE]

On the buyer requests side - too much weighted in the buyers favor. What about..

- proof of funds
- stupid expectations
- giving you run around even when you've met every criteria point
- expecting ultra premium for $3 when title says $5000+ budget
- new accounts with no feedback
- transparency on whether they end up buying anything
- duplicate accounts that I can immediately identify who it is because of their very specific requests (they are not fooling anyone).

And yet every time I see floods of replies with "DM sent". These "buyers" are just wasting peoples time. I know often it's the other way around, but that gets called out all the time. The other side, not so much.
