Is it worth paying for a Featured listing / Category Showcase at Sedo?

I have this seriously high priced domain which I feel is falling short in terms price in the forums...
So i decided to list it in Sedo....
I believe after some research, i found that sedo provides two type of promotion for their listed domains

• 
  [*]Featured Listing - $39
  [*]Category Showcase - $9

Now my question is, as follows:

• Is it worth going an extra mile promoting this domain listing.
  
  
• I mean has anyone ever sold a domain through these promotion. Ideally speaking, a situation where appraisers may rate a domain high, but
  
  in the domain webmaster forum that same domain has a few turnups. Could it be possible that the same domain may sell as per my price plan, if
  
  i promoted my listed domain through Sedo Premium listing / Category Showcase ?
  
  
• If the above two questions may rate as 'YES' then my third question is, which one amongst the below are preferrable in terms of selling a
  
  domain successfully (Success rate) ?
  
  
  • 
    [*]Featured Listing
    [*]Category Showcase
  
  
• If the first two question may rate as 'NO', then consider this as my third question....
  If not sedo, then which place (portal/forum/etc) would you prefer to sell a domain with some kind of surety.?
  

Kindly Note:

• I am a considerate beginner in this domain industry, so the response in this thread may decide my future investment plans. Hence kindly
  
  consider my BEGINNER situation.

Thanks,

Featured listings have worked well for me, but they work best only if you have a lot of domains in your portfoilio...

That way, you can link your entire portfolio to the featured listing... I've gotten more sales and views this way, all my domains have tons of views which have led to some nice sales......I also make sure that I use a half decent domain to promote with the featured listing....

Hey buddy,


As you have said, it does bring in sale when you promote your listing....

but what kind of listing do you prefer.....

• Featured listing $39
• ShowCase Listing $9

Consider my situation being a BEGINNER.....how much time does it take to bring in decent offers ?

Thanks,

I have purchased many category showcases and a couple of Featured listings in the past year and I have yet to sell one domain.

I have some really good domains and I do get about 500 views with the category showcases but no sales yet.

I hope you get a sale, good luck.
