Is it worth it selling domains on eBay?

[unknowngiver]

Hey
i bought thebatmanbegins.com thinking that it is a great name since the movie was just released...anyway it looks like hardly anyone likes it at namepros...so is it worth sleling at ebay? or any other site?

Well you can always give it a try at eBay. You can just end it if you don't get enough attention or bids. Just see if anyones offers but remember you never have to sell it unless your in a contract.
Hope this helps.

Well give eBay a try. Do a 3 day listing and maybe make your listing bold for like a $1.00 or something like that to get a few watchers.

Does a bold listing really attract more visitors?

No, but being bold and selling it for a 1.00 is !!!

Well for me it got me probably an extra 10 watchers, which is a fair amount. I know too when I go through the eBay listings the bold does get my attention.

I've never actually tried selling any domains on eBay, but I would rather not. I mean I would rather arrange some kind of deal with someone that I know from NamePros for example and etc.

Did you get an appraisal here from the members of NamePros yet? Maybe it can give you a rough estimate of it's worth as well as how much you could probably put it up for. :talk:

 

[unknowngiver]

i posted it..but only 1 person appraised it
wt do u think of it?

 

[RickyG]

Isnt this name on the edge of a trademark issue?

 

[unknowngiver]

no
This domain can only be used for batmanbegins {so its PORMOTING it}
just like u see website permoting domain names etc....

The thing is that on eBay so many people are on there that it is hard to sell domains. It is not a huge business right now but if you post your domain for sale on namepros where most if not everyone is here for domains then you will get alot more exposure and possibly even get more money.

Only way to sell a domain like yours on eBay is to start the bidding at $1.00 with no reserve and pray that two people get caught up in the heat of the auction

I recently put up 2 reasonably good domains on eBay with a start bid of $1 and no reserve and they got NO bids at all. I eventually sold both of them on NamePros and made a small profit on the reg. fee.

As for a valuation, personally I don't believe it's worth more than reg. fee undeveloped. The "the" prefix is poor and all type in traffic will go to batmanbegins.com or batmanbeginsmovie.com anyway. I don't see development potential in it as people looking for info about the movie will go to the official site, and there are better "batman" names available for fansites and forums, etc.

ebay doesnt seem to be as "popular" as it once was

are there other, better alternatives?

 

[AdoptableDomains]

Ebay is not bad for very high profile names where the listing, feature, bold, or other fees make them worthwhile. I sold domains there several years ago, but quit when the listing and sales fees started being not much less than the actual sales margins. It just wasn't worth the effort.

 

[vimkar]

seems to me that ebay isn't the right choice

try namepros , afternic bazaar :wave:

 

[unknowngiver]

wts afternic bazaar?
