NameLiquidate.com Liquidation Platform (Official Thread)

[DanSanchez]

NameLiquidate.com is a liquidation platform for domainers, registrars, and wholesale buyers of domains. The market was carefully crafted from an idea on Dec. 3rd 2019 - Completed within 30 days, and has been a work-in-progress since.

You can read the origins of this idea and the subsequent discussions that took place between December 3 2019 to March 8 2020.

We hope to further develop this liquidation market to help domain investors recover precious capital for other renewals or reinvestments. Our intention is to capitalize on the underutilized and often ignored, expiry stream. Those domains which eventually end up in the hands of big domain houses for resale, with no compensation to the previous registrant/owner.

You will see regular updates and notifications on this thread.

Personal note from @DanSanchez: My original intent was to help expiring domains become more liquid and to pass on the capital back to the original registrant at Epik. Since it's inception, NameLiquidate has evolved into a full liquidation platform for new, expiring, and aged domains. I hope to see participation here, questions and doubts will also be welcomed.

My future goal is to invite more registrars to send their expiry stream through NameLiquidate, compensate their previous registrants, and to foster a cooperative attitude for long-term relationships. ​

Please contact support here, by DM, or via our support chat at Epik.

[Golan]

@DanSanchez Any news about .co.uk integration?

@DanSanchez you liked my post but didnt answer...

 

[Samer]

Dan can we Pl get rid of crazy high reserves(?)

This why DC/SN bidders ignore private sellers, focus only the expired at DropCatch Snap IMO

Really a good idea to have $500 reserves?
Ruining for me, Dan, cap that reserve at $100, counterproductive and will ruin Nameliquidate

@DanSanchez @Rob Monster

On the plus side, love watching this baby grow

 

[ArielT]

Where can I find the transfer code for names registered at epik?

Or is it not required if the domain is registered at epik?

I agree reserves and liquidate don’t go well together, reserves will only frustrate users to not returning. Name liquidate should be a last resort liquidation option, and that is what will bring users. If users keep getting stopped by reserves they will simply tune out the service.

Not required. Just select the domain, click the hamburger button > Marketplace > Liquidate. Choose reserve and you're done.

Yes, for domains at Epik, you just go to domain portfolio page and select the domain -> Marketplace -> Name liquidate as shown below and enter your desired Reserve price and send button (No need of authcode for Internal domains)

Thanks,
Sumeeth

Just noticed...

New.Truth is listed at NameLiquidate.

And per an earlier comment from Rob, .TRUTH appears to be an "Alt-TLD"

https://www.epik.com/tld/truth [https://archive.li/k7pRT]

For calibration, the first TLD to deploy it was .TRUTH.

As for the folks who bought them, we'll allow a full refund for anyone who did not grasp their function because they don't know how to distinguish a gTLD, a ccTLD and an Alt-TLD.

The catalog is here:

https://registrar.epik.com/prices/registration/alt

Though, I don't see any notice about new.truth being an Alt-TLD, so I'm a little confused...

[https://archive.li/pjPnL]

///

Having to checkmark ICANN policy at checkout leads me to wonder if these are an ICANN regulated domain names.

///

However, as .TRUTH is listed in epik's alt registration catalog, my assumption is New.Truth would be an Alt-domain name, offered by epik and has something to do with toki/anonymize?

Not sure if anyone else agree's, but perhaps there should be better disclaimers as to what we're bidding on at NameLiquidate? It's already hard enough to keep track with the 1,000+ ICANN new gTLDs, yet alone adding (without disclaiming) Alt-TLDs, some of which (I think) are duplicate Alt-TLDs extensions such as .geek/.o.

Thanks Grilled. We are working on that actually, the lack of info has definitely caused some friction.

Glad to hear the word get out. More eyeballs = better inventory and higher sales!

Indeed, I am on the Epik Board but everything I said was 100% true. I was certainly not trying to impress anyone by explaining how I sold a bunch of names at a loss. I was simply sharing my experience using Name Liquidate. And frankly, I’m happy with the results. I ended up with some hundreds of dollars that I would not have had if I had just let those names expire. I found the automated listing process to be much easier than listing my names on NameJet. Not to mention that I paid less commission on Name Liquidate.

 

[NamesMax]

I have sold a few names on Name Liquidate, mainly on the low end, but this week I had one purchased for $163. Not bad for a name on my potential drop list.

Can anyone tell me, for Domains I'm selling, are current bids below the reserve indicated under the 'Current Bid' column (as well as bids over the reserve)? I can't tell from my current list...
Thanks

I thought they did away with showing bid amounts? I don't have a column marked Current Bid. I just have the Purchase column showing what the current BIN price is.
@DanSanchez will be able to give you the definitive answer.

Thanks @Bob Hawkes, I think he is asking about bids below the reserve. Any bid below the seller-provided reserve is blocked. So no bids would show below your reserve.

BIG update coming this week, as most of you notice the new logo, it is one small portion of the update.

I am talking about the 'Domains I'm Selling' page in the NameLiquidate section of my Epik account. I see these headings:

Under the 'Current Bid' column, would I see any bids placed which are under my reserve, or will I only see a bid when it hits the reserve?...
