Your Current Setup - Landers, Buy Now/Make Offer, Escrow Etc.

[JB Lions]

Just curious of your setup. I've seen in threads people might say, this or that company sucks, you're paying too much, what is the best lander, how much are you paying commission etc. Many times they don't respond with what they're using. I think we're all trying to find that right combo that makes us the most money, while being as smooth as possible for buyer and seller.

Not a thread for advertising parking companies, just want to know setup.

Just rough estimates

My current setup:
650 domains
4 are currently Lease to Own, not including random sales thru the year

90% of my landing pages are Buy Now/Lease To Own thru Afternic/GoDaddy
Some of those also have Make Offer enabled. I'm testing this out on about 5% of them. Had 1 sale doing this. Higher, shoot for the moon type of price with the make offer.

Eventually all will go to Buy Now/Lease to Own landing pages, that option is a requirement for me on landing pages because it simply gets more sales.

Now, domains in limbo. Hand regs and domains won at auction that I can't add to Afternic yet. I've been using Make Offer landers using:

Efty
Giant Panda
Bodis

All decent looking landing pages. Based on a thread today, will experiment to make sure emails go thru and not to junk mail. If 2/3 go to junk, I'll use the one that doesn't

So most sales will be Fast Transfer because of my setup.

For those where I handle myself, in the past I have used Paypal for small ones, Escrow for the rest.

Had a bad experience with Escrow.com last time that almost cost me my biggest sale ever, big travel company in Europe, did wire instead. Haven't used them since, the CEO I was dealing with trashed them.

I haven't tested all the other options out there yet as far as stuff like that. The different Escrows, all the bring your leads here options. So interested in what people are finding successful as far as that.

I bought a 4 letter domain at Namepros Auction for around $280. The bidds were around $220 when I used Buy It Now. If I was to list that same domain today for Auction on Namepros I woud get 0 bids because I am not a good ole boy. The game is fixed.

Just like anything, if you're good at it, you'll do better at it than those who aren't. Selling on NamePros is a skill that must be learned, especially if the domain being listed isn't that great.

However, you could list the domain on a different auction platform, such as Sedo's auction events, and it'll get the same visibility as other listings without you needing to do anything because Sedo will do everything for you in exchange for their commission.

What are your best domains and what are you pricing them at?

I'll try to respond but Namepros will probably delete my comment and say I'm trying to promote my domains in a section I am not allowed. Here is a list of of some of them.

Elmore.ai BIN $8,000 Min Offer $2,000
YRN.ai BIN $3,000 MIN $1,500
Chess.Talk BIn $5,000 Min $2,500

I think you need to change name servers to list any Domain on Sedo. I am not going to change Domain Servers for the third time in 3 months.

My point was that in my opinion auctions aren't fair on Namepros too. If people have certain names, others will bid or choose not to bid.

I wil be sending you a direct message because in a move to again deliberately sabotage me and cause damage to me Namepros apparently deleted my reply to you.

Generally, we don't allow anyone to post domains for sale with prices in discussion threads, but for the purposes of this discussion, an exception is being made to allow your post: https://www.namepros.com/threads/yo...ow-make-offer-escrow-etc.1367031/post-9493595

Some might call this favoritism and giving you an unfair advantage.

That's just how marketplaces work.

Sellers who are viewed as more knowledgeable or trustworthy are going to receive more bids on their auctions.

It's human nature, not a NamePros thing.

Elmore.ai BIN $8,000 Min Offer $2,000

QuidLink.com BIN $4,000 Min $1,000
AiLaw.talk BIN $4,000 Min $1,500
Fusion.Christmas BIN $500 Min $100

Personally, I wouldn't call any of these good domains.

Some of them might sell, but they'd be moonshot sales at this quality with these prices.

Good luck!

 

[Planet9]

I think it's a members thing not a Namepros thing as you said.

 

[JB Lions]

That's pretty damn good. I figured you had a bunch of over $50 Plus renewals. Hope you have continued success. I have better success buying scratch offs. It's my fault for playing this garbage.

Yeah, it's one of the benefits of being 100% .com. Besides being the #1 extension in the world, usually lowest renewal rates and when it comes to using tools to find domains, less time since I'm only checking out 1 extension. Step 1 - get good .coms. Step 2 - set them up on proper landing pages

 

[Hashim]

Yeah, as I suspected, those domains aren't great at all, only yrn.ai, quidlink.com, healthy.fast, saving.you, and cc1.org are close to being worth the price you've put them up for. If I were you I would put the rest up for auction and focus everything on trying to outbound these for the next few months. If you're not getting any serious interest, lower the prices. After you've sold those, go back to the drawing board and do some more research on what's actually selling and for what prices, and if in any doubt always stick to solid .coms as JB said.

I Keep hearing Autcion. Where does on put active domains on Auction? Goodaddy Auctions are for expired domains. Didn't say my domains were great but they're good enough to get offers on. I don't even get that. The domains you guys say are great auction cost big bucks in 2025. Nobody seems to understand that. You said that 1/2 of the domains I liste are close to the money I put them at and yet I still don't get offers. Thank you anyway

 

[Hashim]

No, I said you should try it and find out, but if you already have and that's not working, then follow the second half of the post:

If you're not getting any serious interest, lower the prices.

Or if you're absolutely convinced those domains are worth your prices, take the renewal fees on the chin for a few more years and keep outbounding. One sale is all you need to recover your costs.

I'm pretty sure GoDaddy has regular auctions for non-expiring domains but I wouldn't know because I stay away from everything they do, they've been caught in too many shady practices and the last straw for me was when they dropped the ball on a backorder only for it to be listed on Afternic months later. I migrated my domains and haven't looked back since.

I don't have much experience with them but Namepros has free auctions right here, click on Sell at the top of the page and put your trash domains on auction there to see what you can get for them.

Everyone here is a domainer and everyone understands all too well how costly the good domains can be, but that doesn't mean we get desperate and register trash, the only thing that's good for is losing money.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

The domains you guys say are great auction cost big bucks in 2025.

This is very true.

You said that 1/2 of the domains I liste are close to the money I put them at and yet I still don't get offers.

Your minimum offers are high.

Try putting them on our landers with no price to see how many inquiries they get.

This will give you a better pulse on their desirability.

I Keep hearing Autcion. Where does on put active domains on Auction? Goodaddy Auctions are for expired domains.

GoDaddy does a special quarterly auction event where domainers can auction their domains, but your domains most likely aren't good enough to qualify.

NamePros Auctions is the best free option with 0% commission and $0 fees.

DNWE.com just shut down.

NameJet/Snapnames stopped accepting inventory from domainers.

At Sedo, you can send any offer to auction, so you could allow all offers and send the first offer to auction. There's also this thread for that: https://www.namepros.com/threads/sedo-push-to-auction.1333181/

DNX has plans to offer auctions, I believe. Maybe @Josh R can confirm whether that's something we can get excited about.

Atom.com and Sedo both have auction events, but I don't think your domains will qualify for those, either.

I think that's about it for auctioning domains currently.

 

[Bravo Mod Team]

I think that's about it for auctioning domains currently.

The community needs a @NameGroove thread that tracks the options for auctioning domains.

 

[NameGroove]

The community needs a @NameGroove thread that tracks the options for auctioning domains.

It currently would be a very short list. Until we can apply the "Mega" moniker to it...

Sav, Dyna and PorkBun all have user auctions - but I'm pretty sure names must be regged there to participate. But even still, participation is low, so if you're expecting GoDaddy auction prices you'll likely be disappointed.

I'll probably try that for a couple of domains as an experiment. Thank you for your comments on the minimum domains. I will reduce that.

It says nothing about listing your domains for auction on Godaddy because you can't just how to put in a bid for a Godaddy expired domain on auction
