How many deals did you closed here recently ?

[ttdomain]

So it's been a little over a week since I'm back in here (and looked at the other forum) and I've noticed that not a lot of deals are been closed or even negotiated. I'm curious to find out what happened, do I miss something?

shoot your thoughts.....

It's your avatar! total distraction from buying domains hehe....Nah, All kidding aside we are going into the holiday season and as such it usually slows down quite a bit. Although this time of the year you can usually get some good deals as sellers offer deep discounts to get some liquidity. I believe this is very normal for this time of year once again.

Everyone is waiting for Black Friday at the end of this month But, if you are talking about domain sales on NP's that's because most of the domains on offer are crap. And this is a domainer dominated marketplace, so everyone is looking for good domains at bargain prices.

@Blake @stub thanks for the replies, I just remember 'the good old days' or should I say better ones on the forum in terms of business. I guess that it's changed now.

Here's anther question, how are your sales on sedo?

 

[Sukhvir Singh]

Seller are increasing day by day on namepros rather than buyers ratio!!

That is the main reason!!

Hope that clear your question...

Here's anther question, how are your sales on sedo?

I'll buy domains from forums but never look to sell them at forums. Sedo never been a strong seller for me always been my own site and recently since I switched quite a few to DomainNameSales sales landers and ditched parking income inquiries/sales are way up. I only have 400+ listed on sales landers but getting a handful of solid inquiries every week and a small handful of garbage inquiries as well but the solid inquiries
are outweighing the garbage ones and producing sales.

Immediately after shifting to sales landers= few year old $8 expired domain sold for $900=$860+ profit

This weekend=few year old $8 expired domain with a confirmed 10k offer
few year old $8 expired domain with a confirmed 5k offer

both end user buyers, debating if I'm taking down healthy profit or continuing to push

I almost never get any sales on Sedo. It's probably my worst marketplace. On average, I sell 1 domain a year there. I sell most of my domains on GoDaddy.

zero. Clowns in the Wanted section are sad clowns.

 

[hn]

zero. Have listed a couple for sale on the forum and there have been many inquiries but still no sales. Hope things pickup.

that means ur nameserver is set wit godaddy nameserver?

 

[Name Trader]

Nope. Mostly my domains are parked. I get sales at Sedo, Afternic, GoDaddy, MyOwnWebsite only from people browsing or searching the lists.

 

[Nattydomain]

Namepros is good for selling domains you dont want anymore. You maybe can pick up 1 or 2 here for your own portfolio but to do big dollar sales here is very far in between. Since Namepros attracts a lot of newbies it does not attract a lot of money.

do they track traffic figures when on sales lander rather than parking landers?

No don't show traffic stats like Sedo does but it's obvious it's for sale on DomainNameSales which brings more leads and never had an end user ask for traffic stats in 11 years. Since I switched 2 weeks ago 2 domains sold for...

$900
$10,000

which is basically $10,840 profit and still working on the 3rd 5k offer so worst case $10,840 profit in 2 weeks, best case I'll add another 5-7.5k to that total

parking companies can keep their parking income as domain sales have brought me the most income over the years and I'll never email end users, quality domains+nice sales page and they come to me with higher ROI, only reason I switched from my own sites sales pages to DomainNameSales is their sales landers were more noticeable than mine that the domain was for sale and so far off to a good start

I ask for traffic figures in order to know the traffic numbers for my domain names. I have been parking my domain names with DNS for quite sometime and love the offers I get on this platform.

Do you guys do your own negotiating, or have DNS do that?

I have been using DNS brokers, but with 10% success rate only since the offers were lowball. I am switching to self-broker to see better results Stub.

 

[Name Trader]

10% success rate with those kind of returns seems pretty good to me. I made a low (not-lowball) offer on 1 DNS Domain For Sale, and they were tenacious. Wouldn't let go for months. Which I appreciated because it gave me lots of time to think about whether I wanted the domain or not. But didn't want it at the prices they were quoting, even if I would have paid more than my original offer. We were on different planets, price-wise.

I think you were thinking from a reseller or domainers point of view when making that offer so umm the reason you think price points were way off, plus tenacious is way forward with your domain name portfolio being listed for sale!

I do my own as I like to do my own research on the buyer and although I'm sure they have some good brokers I've been negotiating domain sales consistently/successfully since 2002/2003 so don't really need the help and like to be in control of my own domains. Only time I could see myself letting someone else negotiate is if there was a language barrier as I only speak English and Spanglish
