My name is Gordon, and I am a domain hoarder...

GordonL · 17-11-2010, 12:34:04 AM

I've only ever had a couple offers on Sedo and frankly they were a bit stupid. Couldn't get them to budge off of $60 even though that would have only left me with $10 after Sedo took there cut!

Is there any marketplace which is better that anyone knows of?

Oh sedo is crappy at times..

Sometimes its best to send out a pile of emails to companies who are relative to the domain..

Namedrive.com gets a few good bids, so ive seen at times..

Moniker used to be good back in say 2008.. now you have to transfer your actual domains to their snapnames account if you want to sell them through them.. as if..! that bloody doubles your registration costs doing that for all your domains unless they are your original registrar!

I wish there was a good single winner of an auction site.. if you have a really premium domain you could try 'latonas dot com' but ive not fancied trying it tbh..

godaddy works for some, but you have to pay to open an auction account or something!

damn it all!

If you wouldnt mind.. would you give some insight on where you would start off when trying to sell domains..?

If your names are good enough, e-mailing prospective buyers or sending them a letter is worth trying.

In general it's just good marketing ... domains don't sell themselves.

Welcome Gordon,

What gems have you let drop without realising they were gems or would become a gem?

There has been a few. The one that comes to mind straight away is cccf.co.uk. According to the old Estibot that's now worth over $700.

There have been others too, so many others...

I don't think that's a big loss fortunately (estibot is normally way off). Weird that those are my brothers initials.

cccf.co.uk - looks painful to me and If somebody can justify that, best they don't speak.

Don't forget estibot and .co.uk are a perfect match - you can put your Irish building plot on it

welcome Gordon
