How long has the site been up??How often do you receive order??I like the overall feel of the site.Just stumbled upon this sale (and site) which IMO is a great earned sale considering the development/promotion of the site.

I think Flippa is becoming too risky a place to list domains that have obvious worth.You get so little viewing and watchers for even liquid domains

Anywhere you list a domain name, especially at no-reserve, it becomes risky. The only thing you can do is market the living #$^& out of your auction and hope for the best. No matter which platform it's on.

The whole purpose is to drive traffic, views, and garner interest. Too many people expect a marketplace to do all the work for them. Anyways, this is the report sales thread, I won't go all "opinionated NP'er" on the thread.

But since I'm here...

D/i/S/S (in le com) for $15,534.77

Been working on that deal for a very long time and we finally agreed on a price. Closed, and now forwards to their other domain

Congrats on the sale!

With all due respect Ali, I think it is the market's job to drive traffic, views and garner interest. If I am supposed to market the living #$^& out of my auction, why sell it on the marketplace and waste 10% on Commissions?

Just my 2 cents.

Valid question for sure. I'll answer from my own opinion as briefly as possible (perhaps this would make for good topic on my next post).

Essentially, I am someone who enjoys running my domains at auction. That being said, and since I don't have my own marketplace, I choose from one of the industries options.

Now, most of these options have hundreds of thousands if not millions of visitors to their sites monthly. If I list my domain name on their platform, I "gain access" to not only those visitors and a whole slew of other features that I personally do not have. So I'm happy to pay a commission to the auction house. Because it would take me millions of dollars in development, marketing and maintenance... I rather they worry about that

So now to your question. I can list a domain name on a marketplace, and sit on my hands.. only to hope that every potential buyer on the platform is around, and can find my domain in a swarm of thousands of other domains. So why wouldn't I do marketing on my end too? The time I put into marketing, and the added competition it brings to auctions allows for higher sales prices. Why wouldn't I? I'm going to pay them 10% anyway, might as well make that 10%+ some out of my marketing efforts, no?

Plus, the more people that hear about the auction, the higher your chances of creating a bidding war. Right?

So then it really comes down to how much time you want to put into it. I've listed domains before with no marketing, and they still did alright. But I've also listed domains with some very extensive marketing (including end-user outreach and auction invitations) and they've always(almost) outperformed every other auction that I've ran without marketing.

Just the way it is brotha. At least from my experience with auctions and marketing them. It always helps.

Ali, Ali, Ali, you again? Congrats buddy.

Haha, thanks!
