SEDO vs Afternic vs....??

[estibot.com]

What is the current NPr opinion on the best&most effective marketplace to sell one's domains?

I have my domains listed @SEDO and Afternic. So far, for the same portfolio, I've received dozens of offers and also sold dozens of domains on SEDO, but have only ever received 1 lowball offer on one of my names at Afternic. Also I think the SEDO offer-counteroffer system is easier to understand than the Afternic system with the "asking price" stuff (granted, I haven't even tried to understand it...not enough offers).

So....SEDO 1, Afternic 0

Also, SEDO is free, Afternic is $19.95 per year.

Any other notable venues?

(I would have started a poll, but I don't know enough options to put in...been too busy developing I guess)

Absolutely.

1. Go to Afternic.com
2. Click on 'sell' on the top nav bar
3. On the sub nav bar, you will see 'Recent Sales'

Thank you for the reply and for the link.

Is there anyway to find the link from the hompage like before it used to be or not?

Cheers

marketshare is nice and all- but i have the same hundreds of names on sedo and on afternic, some in extended promotion with afternic- all my sales are thu sedo, none thru afternic.

so your numbers in print are nice, but my results come from sedo. not that i am fond of sedo, they are slower than anything- weeks to close a simple deal after payment has been made> jeez, no need for that. and they are biased, and that sucks. there is so much happening in all tlds and cctlds, but are not open to that.
but your expanded promotion is 20%, and if someone comes in afternics front door and buys it anyway, i owe 20% when i could have paid 10%.
afternic costs $50.00 for a featured listing, sedo is 10 bucks less, plus you have to pay afternic for membership.
buydomains is no great shakes to be in for the expanded because it to favors com- i did a search on the keywork in one of my .tv names, and you have to go thru pages upon pages of coms, some outright stupid- WeddingShoeAdvice.com > $3500.00 ????
WeddingThing.com > $23,000.00?? there are tons more... and i did this with many keywords- same old stuff

Also Afternic sales may be very distorted due to the fact that Afternic counts every escrow as a domain sale and then reports that to Dnj.

I found my name that I only used for a escrow thru Afternic, reported as sold by Afternic! Kind of makes me wonder about the Dnj sales reporting by Afternic to the journal.

Afternic did not sell the name they only provided the escrow so why is it reported as a sale by them? How many thousands of names that people use Afternic only for the escrow are grouped in the Afternic sold reporting?

Many long time members have reported in the forum at Afternic, (discussnames) that it seems thousands of names owned by Afternic, (name media) are getting first returned results when a search to buy a name is done. If so is that a fair playing field

you mean name media, not demand media right?

if this is true, and i guess mr. namemedia will pop in eventually, then that isnt too cool- not cool at all. maybe that is why the number he keep putting out is so high- and if thats the case, then that is misleading

 

[goodkarmaco]

Yes,

Name media, thks Smash.

Thats the way I see it, not cool. Hey its still a zoo around Afternic. One member posted that they found something like thousands of sex, and drug related and gambling names that namemedia owns for sale now in Afternic, yet it is against their tos for any member to have such names for sale in Afternic!

Since I've started at NameMedia, which was earlier this year, I've been the one personally reporting names to DNJ. Therefore, I see all the names that are reported to DNJ each and every week. It is our policy not to report any names to DNJ that are escrow-only.

Hi David,

well that is good to see that Afternic now is not reporting escrow only transactions. I looked at my records and it was almost a year ago, so glad to see the policy is changed.
