question DAN vs. Afternic, which is better?

[OhYeah]

Hi there, I'm considering listing my names at Dan or Afternic. Just was wondering which got you more sales, Afternic or Dan?

Thank you in advance!

Such a question with regards to sales is more a case of: What did a certain buyer want at a certain time, and which platform did it happen to be on for the sale to be facilitated, than which one is better. Its a question of the timing / situational aspect, and just where it happened to be in that moment, a lot of the time, than being better. IMO

Just so you know, you can list/point your domain to the Dan lander AND list it on Afternic. Best of both worlds.

In my opinion, DAN and Afternic are great platforms. I list my names on both, set DAN landers and sell names through the two platforms, but the majority of my sales come from Afternic. There is some room for improvement and changes I would like to see on Afternic, but that’s a different story.

 

[OhYeah]

Got it. Thanks for the information, I didn't know that! I appreciate the tips!

Afternic sold more domains for me.

Looking at past/recent xyz sales. It looks like afternic is ringing the cash register more often.
List everywhere.

I'm curious if you used their estimated value for pricing. This is an interesting feature available only on Afternic, not DAN.

Dan gives the most offers.

Yes,it's an interesting function, but I use it just as a reference.

Dan looks better, but doesn't work (parking), because they don't want it to work. Not sure about Afternic (for parking). Dan needs parking, and with failed parking it is dead, except for sales to domainers, agents, lowballers. Afternic doesn't need parking.

What happens if you list on both, and two people try and buy at the same time? could that happen?

You only add a bin on one platform. The one with name servers you use. Make offer on the other.

DAN accepts and payouts in crypto if wanted and has payment plans. Thus far Afternic has neither.

If I have domains listed on Dan and Afternic, plus others, is it better to have all the domains set to Dan landers? I have a mix at the moment but would change them all to DAN if it helps.

Despite all efforts, including lowering prices, I have never had a sale on Dan. If you get 4 sales, think its 4, you get the trusted seller icon which can only help.

@LaszloSchenk posted the below back in Feb 2020....

"The trusted seller mark is granted upon your 5th closed sale."

Don't know if it has changed since then?

That's great that you have the listings on both forums. There appears to be a benefit using the Dan landers, including being able to provide descriptions and having your own Google analytics. However, like you, I've never had a sale with Dan, and even had a sale at a much higher price using Afternic. Perhaps the lack of a trusted icon does impede sales for someone starting out on their marketplace.

For afternic I use NS5 and 6 lander , bin and can talk to an afternic broker, for dan I have tried all sorts, currently bin with option to spread the cost. Until recently I also had make offer as well but it was pointed out previously that it could be giving the buyer too many options and weakens the bin option.
