[lknights1987]

Who's signed up for the domain discount club since the self-brokerage has become available on Afternic?

If you are buying names from auctions/closeouts then it’s worth it as you’ll save more than it costs.

Is there a number of purchases where it becomes viable? I'm guessing 20 a year wouldn't be worth it?

As soon as those multi-colored monkeys start flying out of my arse, I will sign up.

I wonder what white shirt came up with this idea of tying self brokerage to DDC...add to it the lack of lease to own option being available and I'm not wasting my time going to the site any longer. Maybe a new CEO will shake things up and get it back to what it used to be.

When you buy a GD auction or closeout name you pay a renewal at GD. Discount club turns it roughly from $20 to $10.

So if DC costs $300/y then 30 names a year means you break even (30*$10=$300) and everything else is profit.

If you keep your names at GD this compounds every year. I don’t, but I buy more than enough names to make It worth it just in the initial purchases.

Plus you get all the other DC stuff like training, tools, and self brokerage.

Are you saying you can’t use lease to own with self brokering? If so that makes no sense. All a buyer needs to do is click the button. Thanks

I find it difficult to understand why the fee rate for self-brokerage is not more favorable than for sales with brokers. Under these circumstances, I will continue to use brokers for the time being. Afternic buyers are used to brokers, we don't know how many intentions to buy will expire if a nobody (us) appears.

Linking self-brokerage to DDC does not bother me.
Take an unbiased look at the tools. There is some interesting stuff for domainers. For example, the Go-Value valuation tool gives me confidence, knowing that many Namepros can do it much better themselves ...

Ask your GD contact if they will give you a coupon code for the first year membership fee.

Hi

Thanks for explaining.

i only bought a couple of names from GD in last 5 years, so really not worth it.

if i have to pay to self broker, that means more work for me and on top of that, still have to pay the same commission fee?
i can self broker now at sedo for 10%
so it seems like some sucker mc to me


first boost, now this,
what's next...an increase in ddc fee?


imo....

As sure as the sun will rise in the morning.

back to normal registration fee!!

Your math is off there. Your cost with buying just 30 names would be $600.

...which is horrible.

without couting purchase price!!
The problem is you cant convince a sensible person that normal registration is a deal!!

He was referring to expired auction purchases. When you win an expired auction at GD you pay the winning bid plus a years renewal (20 bucks) and some other non descript "fees and taxes" (making a 25 dollar auction win around 50 dollars). In this scenario you have no choice but to pay the inflated price as you can't choose where a domain expires.

For new registrations you would indeed be insane to use GD at their mad prices (although cheap compared to NS).

why you will buy a mediocre name from auctions, auctions meant for high quality domains that you will not care about small difference cost!!

Domain discount now means you pay 200 plus bucks a year to pay more than the price at other registries. oh you get to buy auctions or closeouts and pay 12 instead of 20, Godaddy closeouts suck and now every other registry has them too and there less watched so GD can FO, oh we get domain academy FREEEEEE WEEEEEEEE WOWWWWWWW Alert ASK chat.com they will give you all the tools you want ,tell them you want a tool for this or that they will give you many options Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee godaddy

You should always care about saving money regardless.

I'm not sure what you're saying with the rest of your post. Are you saying don't buy domains as cheap as possible?

So don't buy a profitable name because its with GD?

the best domains at gd auctions have to be sniped when they come on the board so ill pay 60 instead of 50 total nbd when they get down to 5 or 11 you may as well go to expired domains and scan the hell out of the pages
