Every month we have great prices on a wide selection of domains, and you can find a full list of our sales here:

I am really concerned about Deadbeat bidders on dyandot over 50% of the auctions I have participated in, are getting relisted based on non payment. Dynadot collects 5% fee from deadbeat, then options the second highest bidder to pay full price, even though high bidders bids should be invalidated. I don't usually say anything, but the % of defaults is becoming concerning. This is outside of the RIck situation, this is just own my own personal experiences in the past 60 days. Seems like as bidders we are suspectable to getting shilled, by bidders who lack the resources to follow thru with their bids. This is not finger pointing, but just more so discussion on how we can create a more fair, and open system where we can feel like we are getting a fair bidding platform. I don't want anyone to go off course, but maybe ideas how we can make this better.

Hey Dynadot, where’s the Black Friday discount for new .com hand regs? So far I only see discounts on .shit extensions., what's going on?

 

[Future Sensors]

Hear you loud and clear on the Black Friday sales, I talked to my team and it looks like we'll be adding some Renewal and Transfer discounts! We should have them finalized on the lander and ready for Black Friday next week.

I see they've been busy in other areas though - this is very handy for International customers:

Well, about seller brokerage, @Dynadot @Caleb Tweed :

In your comprehensive introduction of these brokerage services, when referring to outbound, you relate it to domains worth 10k or more. However, when following the specific link, we are invited to submit domains worth 200k or more.

I totally understand this is referred to, on NamePros, as standard for seller brokerage services, that they wouldn't bother for less. Still, I would appreciate your clarification about the difference between those figures.

I wish the entire domain name industry, as a whole, would adopt what is called "earnest payment" like what is done in physical real estate (at least it is in the USA, not sure if it exists elsewhere?).

It would go a long way toward showing that the buyer is serious and willing to demonstrate an earnest of good faith about wanting to complete the transaction.

The earnest payment should go to the seller, not the house, however. IMO.

Am interested to read that but will do so when Dynadot comes back up.

UPDATE: Back up again. Seems like an interesting offering.

Hey, thanks for the catch. Not sure why it said that tbh, that's been updated to $200k.

Just so we're all on the same page, outbound brokerage service is for domains valued either at or over $200k.

I'm seeing if I can get one added for Black Friday this week, but honestly we might not have one for a bit due to how successful the October sale was.

Yeah I can see how that would have been successful. I'll keep my list poised!

Is it still happening? Just checked mine and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

I logged out as soon as I realized it wasn't on my end...give me a few and I'll log in again.

It did not do it on all pages...the appraisal page was okay...the font size jumped to 40 or so.
