Value of Domain Hacks

[xman]

Here's my question..what is the value of domain hack? I've seen some good domain hack and i was wondering about the value of it. I myself own one and i'm not sure whether or not i should get more. I haven't seen any sale of domain hack. Why do we register domain hack? Is it because the domain looks cool or because there's a potential end user who's willing to buy such domain?

Watching a few of the items and have a bid on one at the moment, though I am now the under bidder on it.

As has been expressed before on this thread by others I too do not trust some extensions, their governments, etc. to invest in, but it seems others do as they have bids on them.

Well that sure was an exciting auction...the last 5 minutes of it that is. Since the first day was the one bid only, under my reserve. But then in the last 5 minutes that one bidder came back and bid up to hit exactly the reserve price. Very smart on his part to get it for not a penny more than had to!

Congratulations.

Which was your domain, if I may ask?

The one I was after I ended up the highest bidder but unfortunately still under the reserve. We will see what happens from here, I dropped the seller a message this morning in case this ended up being the situation.

Cru.sh ended up the highest sale at $2,050.

Thank you, am pleased it sold in the end as was thinking I should have put a lower reserve. Inju.red is the domain.

Yes cru.sh crushed it in this auction!

I can see that being used by an accident company (insurance / lawyers / assessors / etc.).

Good pun about 'cru.sh' as well.

Yes it is a good one for them and someone jumped on it. And he already paid in sedo's escrow account, so appears is going to be a fast transaction.

It's unfortunate though that only a third of the listings were bid on even though there were some good ones. Sedo maybe needed to have promoted it better. I guess a learning experience for all.

I agree overall it was. So many listings didn't get bid on and not many sold either. It was pure luck mine did as was stuck under the reserve the whole time and only sold because the one lone bidder wanted it but no more than my reserve, which wasn't high to begin with. It should have been set up and promoted better than it was. Maybe Sedo will try again and improve on it.

I have been hearing that 'Sedo will learn' for the past 12 years - and each time they have failed to.

What the domaining industry NEEDS is a sales venue where those with real and extensive active contacts to firms around the globe can market the domains that are listed. This would be a 'Marketing Department' - but to set such up means hunting out the right staff, paying them appropriate salaries, and the infrastructure which would support them placing domains in front of the right people. This though would be an expensive thing to set up, and as of yet NO sales venue company I have come across is willing to do this, they all say it is up to the domainer to get the leads to the sales thread. This is a ridiculous situation but truth be told there are so many domainers who accept it that it is our own fault.

Anyway to see the final bids on the domains that did not sell? And those who sold?

I think Sedo will publish the list of sold domains, when though I do not know.

I think you can access them individually if you have the link or know the listing numbers. I know I can get to mine when I'm not logged in.

Also, I thought this auction was advertised as a 15% commission but I got charged double. If they have a minimum charge on top that really hurts for those that were sold around $100.

The problem is, someone may say because "that auction was a flop" hacks have no value...

We sold meeti.ng for $1196 at the auction but agreed big flop, Sedo did a poor job promoting it. We're tying to get Park.io to open up their marketplace so we can list our hacks there.
