Undeveloped.com Experience

[JudgeMind]

Has anyone used undeveloped.com to sell domains? They claim to be able to increase a domainers sales by 54%.

Great.



Sounds good to me. I can't really fathom why anyone would object to the language "This domain is for sale" unless they think it shows weakness on their part, like: Please, please buy me domain?



Yup it already did. It took about 24 hours, so I'm all good with that now.

Regarding the wording, some sellers have the assumption if you say "Is for sale" instead of "May be for sale" that you take more risks of getting a UDRP.

Internally, we have seen zero UDRP's on domains parked with us in the past 3 years and I personally also don't think it influences a panel, but due to very high demand for that change, we implemented it. We'll further iterate this feature to make it more robust.

Thanks,

Reza

It seems there's a bug when you try to set the Buy Now and Starting Offer price at the same time.

The system tells you that the Starting Offer must be at or above the Buy Now, which doesn't make sense.

Hi Nat,

Nice catch! It seems the logic is indeed implemented the other way around. We'll fix this.

Meanwhile, if you want to change the starting bid of a domain try editing directly in the portfolio view.

Thanks again for notifying us,

Reza

Hi just wanted to report that I already had a good sale of about $1,500 through an Undeveloped lander. I moved 175 domains there two weeks ago -- previously I had none. After the sale, I added another 75 domains.

This is great news! Was your name listed elsewhere for a while with no bites or is this a new purchase that was listed at undeveloped?

I have all of my names set up there but havent switched the DNS yet on the ones I want to test yet.

Congrats!

Was it a BIN or make offer?

I like the concept of undevloped. 2 things I dont like the fact it says this domain May be for sale and the time it takes to actually see the bin or make offer icon appear.

They have, thankfully, changed the wording back to "The domain name xxx is for sale" for names with BIN.

I bought it in January and had it listed in Afternic with a Uniregistry BIN lander up until a couple weeks ago. I've been playing with my prices, so I'm not sure what I had it listed for prior to bringing it to Undeveloped.

Was it a BIN or make offer?

It was a BIN with the option to make offer and/or use a payment plan. But the buyer simply BIN'd it.

the time it takes to actually see the bin or make offer icon appear.

Yeah I'm glad you brought this up. The time lag can be significant. I think I've seen it take up to 5 or 6 seconds.

Thank you - great sale!!

Landers got changed it now says this domain is for sale. This is good!

We indeed changed back the copy and will later down the road implement a more elegant solution. Maybe even allowing the seller to edit the main title. We'll keep you posted .

Regarding the loading time, on most connections and machines the lander should load fast. We chose to implement asynchronous loading so your buyer as soon as possible loads the page and see's the name is for sale. Later the other elements are loaded.

Having said this, speed on parking is quite important to us. Two weeks ago we started working on improving the load time of the javascript that we use on the for sales pages. It won't take long until we implement the improvements which should accelerate your landers.

Take care,
Reza

Congrats Nat! On to your next sales!

I had another sale via an Undeveloped lander. I had it listed with a $995 BIN and $500 min. make offer.

Got an email from Undeveloped that there was a $600 offer on it and I decided to just accept it off the bat. The offer turned out to be legit and the transaction has completed. Name has been transferred and I've been paid my $510 from Undeveloped.

So, another good experience with Undeveloped.

This was a name I hand-regged at MyDomain for $1.59 a year ago.

Also: because I was having trouble forwarding my names to the Afternic landing page, I just decided to point almost all of my non-BB names to Undeveloped. So I've got 500 domains pointing to Undeveloped now.

 

[Stare-Media]

Recently started using Undeveloped with a few names, really easy to set-up and use the landing pages. Within a few weeks banked my first sale, and payment was received very quickly

Now I'm slowly moving all my domains across and hoping for the next sale!

Many Thanks

 

[Templr]

Why? Because our research showed 80% of all transactions go bust because buyers can't afford your names.

Goes to show that many domainers are striving too high!

@Undeveloped - I have a recommendation for your landers, but it is a very small one. I wonder if the mention of VAT to customers - in countries without one and it is not applicable - may be a little off-putting since some don't know what a VAT is. My thought is based off the seller's country and the buyer's IP you could easily display, or not display, the mention of VAT. (this applies to buy it now and make offer)

Also you may want to default the country in the billing information form based off of IP geolocation. I assume most of your buyers are outside of the Netherlands.

Just from my experience in the past things like mention of a VAT, and then a customer seeing Netherlands being the default - they may start wondering what a VAT is and how much it would be - before filling out the form. (without noticing the $0 Vat on the previous page.) The billing page mentions VAT again even if not applicable. There is just the slightest chance someone might close the form if it was an impulse buy that could walk away.

Otherwise I see a lot of nice improvements since I last used Undeveloped for my landers. I believe I will be moving them back in the coming days. The VAT thing was just a thought I had when looking.

For me to forward my names to a platform it has to add value beyond a nice lander.

I went to home page of undeveloped as a potential buyer and typed "fashion". After 20 minutes, it is still "loading". Retried few times.

Oddly - Other searches seem to be working that I tried, but you are right... "Fashion" hangs.

Seems there is a bug of some kind @Undeveloped

Tech.support has 2 buy it now prices ) I guess this is new way of implementing price discrimination )))
