Afternic is godaddyGoDaddy
I've also wondered the same thing. Just a few related questions about afternic.
1. Have you had sales via make offer at afternic or do you really have to use buy it now to have success at afternic?
2. Is it worth putting your best domains on afternic as make offer and do these still get seen across the network? Or again it's only worth it if you use buy it now?
3. How do you get paid at afternic? Do they use escrow and do you get an invoice after a sale?
4. Do you have the option to keep your sales private or do they report everything?
Thanks
I always leave my floor price emptyI've just tried listing some domains on afternic as make offer.
I notice that you have to add a floor price as a minimum that an agent can accept without your permission. Just read about the floor price thing here on afternic for make offer domains and how much confusion that it can cause and potentially mean that domains are sold without the buyers knowledge due to the floor price thing.
Because of that i'm going to stay away from afternic.
Most of my sales come direct as that's where the domains point. Afternic would be the strongest third party aftermarket due to their distribution network which allows you to make sales without even pointing your domains to them. So the best of both worlds, I continue doing most sales direct with no commissions or escrow fees and occasionally I make an Afternic sale as well.
Fine with paying a cut when their distribution network achieved the sale. Not fine with pointing domains to markets that take your inbound leads, hide buyer info, charge a cut when your own traffic brought them the lead to begin with. Great deal for them, people wanna lose 9%-30% for nothing hell I'd build ya a sales lander to take 9%-30% and rob ya too. Do your own sales pages or use efty, domainmarketpro, bodis etc... and you'll save a lot of cash while building your own end user database instead of giving away valuable leads to someone that did nothing to promote your domain. Most leads come from the landing page so don't point them to people that will hide buyer info and grab a percentage of each of your sales.
That's great Jay. Really very helpful.
Please suggest the best landing page to use? I don't know how to create my own and I'm currently using Undeveloped for the last ten days. Whilst the team at Undeveloped are great and the interface is nice I really could do with a bit more traffic info like I got at Efty with Google analytics.
What do you suggest Jay? I know nothing about Bodis.
Really banging my head about this.
