Domain Auctions are dead

Bido: Down for month. Now up again, but not really running.
Sedo: Cuts 60 Euro Auctions.
TRAFFIC Auctions: Amsterdam was a nightmare … They sold uebernachtung.de for 1k, was resold later for 8k
Domainvermarkter Auction: Total disaster for seller

This list could go on and on … How come that domain auctions are doing so bad?

The answer is simple. But this time i have to delay my opinion. This time i will SHOW you my answer. Hope to code it within the next weeks. Stay tuned!

Cheers,

Namewise

    Sorry I ever got in the domain business. I think it’s a bunch of bull! If you had one .com you make money. DN Journal hypes it up to be so great. But there are millions of good domains that don’t sell. By the way I have excellent two word generics. I KNOW the domain biz. Not like I’m a newbie. So much “auction competition now forget it! Lets finally be honest about this business. You might hit a jackpot once in awhile by selling a domain for one or two thousand. Rarity. If you disagree with this then by all means tell me where you have good luck selling domains.

    I agree with Len. All these auction places sell names for thousands of dollars and the names are crap. Sedo.com for example charges $40 to list a domain that does not get any offers. And, if you ever check the site, you will see domains that are awful that sell for thousands of dollars(ex. obxbyowner.com sold for $1,250, Zoost.com for $25,500, performanceChips.com $40,000, WellThen.com for $13,000,
    yummymummy for over $3,000 and so on. Check out DNjournal.com and you can see for yourself.
