Painful to Watch

[Grrilla]

Just ran across this auction at eBay. This is a tough one to watch. The guy has 28 .coms - say he spent $200 on regs. Than paid to have a special Category/ Premium Gallery listing and at 30min left _:

Oh. I'm not saying they are good names, but, at least at one point, he thought they were and by paying for an exclusive listing, he must have had still seen some promise for them.

The auction price is pretty low right now.

 

[Grrilla]

I agree. I hope that it heats up for the seller's sake.

Wow that actually is painful to see...I almost feel bad watching.

Ouch. Just over $1 each.

Oww! The dark side of domaining. But who know, maybe the guy kept the cream of the crop and was just trying to break even on the others. It doesn't always work out to be a sunshiny day and a run to the bank to make a deposit w/ domain name sales.

How much did the Premium Gallery listing set him back?

$19.99 for a Fetured Plus Listing
$0.50 for the subtitle
$0.35 Insertion Fee
$1.48 Final Value Fee

-------
$22.48 Final Ebay Cost + Plus any potential PayPal Fees

so less than $9 income for the seller...ouch!!

You missed $3 for the border and $5 for highlighting plus $1 for bold. Looks like he broke dead even w/ ebay, so his only loss was for the fees on 28- .com registrations. Man, it's tough out there, at times.
