What do you think about Afternic today?

I heard that it used to be a great marketplace, but now it is not as great as it used to be. I listed a few domains there before, but they didn't get any offers. Is to pay the promotion fee the only way on Afternic to get attention to the posted domains?

Anyway, according the recent report (May 13 -19, 2013) on http://www.dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm, a few domains got sold at Afternic with great prices!

GlobalOffice.com $32,500 Afternic
MargartitaMachine.com $19,000 Afternic
Noveltees.com $12,500 Afternic
LiveSense.com $11,000 Afternic

The bottom line is, if your domains are good enough you will get offers no matter where they are listed. If you're not getting offers, paying for a premium listing probably isn't going to make any difference.

If you're dealing in brandable domains you will need to wait until someone comes along who wants that exact term, that could be next week, next year or never!
