GreatDomains.com - Please Post Accepted and Denied Names

[RegFee]

One of my names, PinotGrigiot.us, was recently accepted by GreatDomains.com after having several names denied. I had a small thread going about this before, but I'd like to start a larger thread where everyone can post which names they've submitted to Great Domains and the outcome. This may help us get a better understanding of how they select names.

I'll update this list as people post their names.

I've had 3 letter domains denied (In .org and .net) but had codes.cc and 411.cc and other .cc's accepted.... Somewhat bass-ackwards.

How much does GreatDomains.com charge as a selling fee, the usual 10% including escrow?

www.finejewelry.us ....... declined. Not sure why, because I sure will not part with it for small bucks.

 

[MissFlora]

iblogs.net accepted but I did not list it up in the end. There seems to be no consistency as to what domains will GreatDomains accept or deny.

Hello,

Im not quite sure that Greatdomains.com is about. How long has it been in business?

It's cool to have a real professional company check out my name and accept it for quality.

What's the catch?

They charge just 10% flat rate of the final sale..That is their escrow fee.

What's the catch?

They have been in business since 1996, back when their parent company Verisign/Network Solutions (NetSol) was two seperate companies and NetSol had exclusive registration control of all .com's/.net's./.org's. For years, they were considered the best in the world at selling premium names (they still hold many of the sales records, albeit, places like Sedo and Afternic are changing that slowly). They are still considered very good at judging the end potential value of very good premium names, but their methods for doing so are somewhat a mystery. Like many of the members here have said, trying to figure-out why they like some names and not others is like a toss of a coin sometimes. You can even resubmit a domain months after it is rejected, just to have it accepted the next time. It almost doesn't seem logical Many names sit there forever, and never sale...BUT, when they do sell, it is for the money we all would like to make for our names :hehe: --- So, it is worth atleast trying to get them listed there. Big corporations know about GreatDomains and its reputation, and go there when they are looking for that "niche" domain that fits their business. I have had many domains rejected, that I thought would be accepted, and still can't figure-out why they were turned down. And, I've even had the opposite. Two names I currently have listed there (buymusic.tv & migraines.tv) I thought would be turned down, but I tried for the heck-of-it, just to end-up with them accepted. GreatDomains is truelly a mystery on that one. While the names may never sale, why not list them anyway (what have I got to loose...free ). I've had many rejected that I thought would make me the big $, and they were turned down. Others I submitted cuase I was bored and figured maybe they were drunk that day, and those were accepted (GreatDomains staff drinking on the job? If so, it was to my benifit, and I'm not complaining :hehe: ).

You asked, what's the catch? There isn't one, other than you never know what they will or will not accept and at what price (they list nothing they don't think is worth atleast $5,000). They take a flat 10%, but so do the other services. I'll give them 10% if the right buyer pays $xx,xxx for a domain found through them. The one BIG advantage over the others: If it is listed there, its a nice name (most of the time..lol). Names don't get lost in million-name databases like they do at Sedo, Afternic, or other services. It is more of an "exclusive" club, and having your name there gives it more exposure becuase it isn't a premium name just lost in the crowd of worthless ones.

Just wondering but didnt want to start a new thread. I know they ask for a phone #. Do they actually call you and also do you guys think there would be any problems if you are under 18? Could any problems arise with the age factor? Accepting payment, etc.


Thanks
Spy

maximum, nice post, rep added.

Spy, I never received a phone call from them. You do have to be able to sign and fax a contract that says "registrant is 18 years of age or older and is competent to assume legally binding obligations..."

I'll go through and add the names people have posted tonight. The thread is going better than I ever planned. Thanks everyone!
