Is Dan.com better than Sedo?

[topdom]

I mean, in terms of number of sales, and volume (not in terms of commission).

Switching is a big deal, so I first ask.

 

[Dave]

Yes, without a doubt.

Transfers and payments at Dan are quite simply the smoothest I've come across from any marketplace ever.

in terms of number of sales

I don't see any difference.

Peach vs Nectarine
Sedo has a marketplace, Dan is basically just landing pages/transactions

Yes, in many ways. Only one way Sedo is better - convert a lead offer into an Auction. Apart from that, Dan is much better.

 

[wizard]

Yes dan is 100% better sedo is dated and slow

Ok you all say Dan is better on the average. So is this like, I was selling 1 domains at Sedo a month, but after swithcing to Dan I sell 3 names: is this what you mean?

A buyer lands at Sedo and decides to negotiate and buy.
Same thing happens at Dan.

What makes Dan work better in this case?

A few things that come to mind:

-Sedo shows seller's location, and each buyer hates some locations in the world, and
decides not to buy, or not pay much depending on seller location.

-Sedo doesn't give any useful info about buyer, so we don't know if we are negotiating with a flipper,
or a real enduser.

I feel I almost never sell to actual endusers at Sedo recently. Also half of buyers don't pay.

There is not much big difference between new Sedo landing page and Dan landing page.
Sedo should be as good as Dan now, if discrimination and IP/flipper issues are not important.
Maybe the only problem is that their mobile version is bad and noone is aware of it.
.......
Sedo transfers are easy and smooth. Gettng bids, and in case of "sale" , making buyers pay, are difficult at Sedo. There may be traitors inside Sedo working for other marketplaces. I would take such a possibility seriously if I were them.

Dan is lower cost and cost matters a lot.

 

[d-e-x]

For .COMs - DAN for everything else - Sedo

 

[NYJimbo]

Landers at DAN. Sell at DAN, Sedo and Afternic.

Why limit yourself ?

 

[tonyk2000]

I've dealt with customers who explicitly asked to process the sale using Sedo. At the same time, I've seen no requests to proceed through undeveloped / dan. Affected domains were not initially offered on either platform. It means that Sedo, possibly being a very old player, does have a loyal enduser customer base.

 

[Dream Domains]

Loyal enduser customer base? Highly doubtful.

 

[namemarket]

imo, there's really no comparison overall how much better DAN is with DAN light years ahead of sedo.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

For BIN domains I recommend Sedo, these domains also participate in their MLS...
MakeOffer domains you may sell where you like... even via blank page with your email address.

 

[Dream Domains]

How much is Sedo MLS? How much is Dan?

Please...

I would like to hear more on this as well.

 

[twiki]

The only accurate response is: Test and see for yourself.

The results vary wildly from one domainer to another, depending on their portfolio. To me, Dan brings many lowball offers while Sedo hasn't brought a single sale so far. And Afternic brings the bacon.

But that's different for others.

 

[enterscope]

DAN may be better but look at the latest sales on Namebio and many are from Sedo

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And Afternic brings the bacon.

GoDaddy brings it.
Afternic without GoDaddy is like any other marketplace in terms of results.
