question Have any of you made any sales at sedo,Uniregistry,Undeveloped etc even with own landing page?

[peace800]

Have you had any sales at sedo,undeveloped or Uniregistry etc by listing your domains in their marketplaces despite using your own landing page without pointing to those marketplaces?

Or do you have to use their nameservers to get exposure as nobody really performs a search on their marketplaces?

 

[Pierre Barnard]

Not yet, always had inquiries/sales from the where-ever the domain is parked.

 

[mpls]

0 sales in 2 years with these markets.
And my domains are all listed on them.
Everyday I'm happy to have a good job that permits me to live.
If I had to wait money from these marketplaces/domains I'd be living under the bridges like an homeless.

I always use my own sales pages and list with Sedo, Afternic, Uniregistry etc... but the only market to produce significant sales without pointing the domains there is Afternic due to... https://www.afternic.com/domain-reseller-network

Would always suggest doing your own pages on your own hosting or using a third party that doesn't hide buyer info so your in a stronger negotiation stance and don't have to pay any commissions on sales. Can easily route to https://escrow.payoneer.com etc... and they allow payment plans as well.

When a service says you'll get the best results by pointing your domains to us that translates to our marketplace has no traffic so all of your domain traffic will fill our database with end user leads and then we'll still take 9%-30% of each of your sales. So your domain traffic is building them into a company instead of building you into a company. This is how Sedo, Afternic became monsters as domainers were trading away their leads for high parking income. Now that parking income is a fraction of what it used to be makes no sense to lose those valuable leads.

#1 Your own sales pages on your own hosting, whether that's a php script, wordpress plugin, html. Total control, one time fee, then just monthly hosting costs.

https://codecanyon.net
https://www.codester.com
etc....
#2 Monthly subscription service where ya pay a monthly fee instead of commission on each sale. Good control, will need to request things ya don't see and hope the service adds the features.

#3 Parking Pages without ads. Least control since not a profitable item for them less motivation to add new features.

Most sales happen from the landing page so pointing your domains to someone that hides who the buyer is leaving you in blind negotiations and takes a cut of all of your sales is insanity. You can host your own pages for dollars a month or pay a subscription service dollars a month and retain name, email, phone, ip address etc... on all of your leads and pay zero in commissions or escrow fees.

I do my own thing on my own hosting. When I've tested subscription services 2 things I look for...

1) Don't hide buyer info.
2) Don't try to process payments for me. Be a landing page service. No need to get involved in the financials or add fees for you getting involved in the financials. Handful of licensed escrow services around with payment plan options so stay out of it.

I tried landing pages of my own then I realized it will not work. I sold domains at sedo, namesilo, bido and probably a few more. I liked namesilo most. They offer too many payment-payout methods including bitcoin and namesilo fee is only 7.5% (no minimum) when a domain is sold.

Yes, at Afternic though.

 

[DomainVP]

I list on aftermarkets and I use my own landing pages with simple contact information.

In most cases an interested party will eMail me, and we will discuss. These parties will use VPN and a garbage eMail to hide who they are for the most part, it does not change the price.

As far as marketplaces go, I've only worked with Godaddy Buy Service when someone was interested in a domain. Most inquiries from the platforms you mentioned go no where and are from other domainers looking to low ball.

Listed on afternic and sedo parked on undeveloped.all have given me couple of low 3 fig sales.

 

[DanBingham]

One Afternic sale early this year for mid $$$. I also list at Sedo - nothing from them for a while. The majority of our sales this year have come via my porfolio through my own landers.

Why?

Did you complete a sale originating from GD Buy Service?

 

[nomen]

Some. 1 @ Sedo, a couple @ Afternic, a couple @ Flippa. In 6 years or so. The domains in question had been pointed elsewhere. As of my understanding, all of those domains sold to domainers.

 

[Fancy.domains]

I use my own landing pages, but have had good success with Afternic (and to some extent with Sedo and Undeveloped).

 

[loredan]

The only places where you may get sales without pointing your domains are Afternic and Sedo.

All other marketplaces (Uniregistry, Undeveloped, BB, etc...) 90% rely on your traffic to get leads and convert them in sales... sad thing that sometimes a lead lands on your page, from there goes searching the marketplace and end up buying someone elses domain. that's why imo is very important to have your own website or use some landing pages (ex Bodis, Namesilo) not tied up with any marketplace so a potential lead would only have the option to buy your own name(s).

Please note that I'm not talking about auction sites here such as Namejet, Flippa, GoDaddy Auctions, etc ... just about BIN / Make Offer

Hope this helps a bit...

Why?

It doesn't worth my time. Paying 7.5% commission is reasonable for me to sell a domain while I sleep. Namesilo offers more things than I can offer to a buyer. In the end, nothing is free. I am always against to pay 20% commission, even 15% is too much. That's why I tried to host my landing pages.
