Namepros Member Claims to have tapped into Afternic Sales Data – 9731.com $18,500

by

Namepros member GoWebNames.com posted a list of sales from Afternic on Namepros

I am posting Afternic sales from Aug/11 to Aug/18. Since Afternic doesn’t publish their sales data, how I got these is a secret so please don’t ask me. I just learnt about this from my own sale of BeautyTreatments.com there.

All these sales are verified, you can check the WHOIS. For some you will find dnescrow@afternic.com and for some you will see the updated date.

All these sales can also be searched on GoWebnames.com, almost all sales you will find there.

    I know this secret for over 18 months now. I hope Afternic doesn’t close this. It’s not considered a bug anyway.

    Thanks for the mention Reynold, I see you have spilt the beans already.

    However, I had rather prefer it be kept a secret to the NamePros forum. I could have been selfish and kept this data for myself but shared it for the benefit of domaining brothers at NamePros.com. The data is absolutely verified, one can call around and verify. Some sellers may like to verify, they are under no obligation to keep their Afternic sales secret.

    Though I can’t guarantee the availability if Afternic works to curtail my source.

    Also, I would like to request Afternic/GoDaddy to discontinue the practice of hiding domain sales data. Perhaps they may be ashamed of charging a 20% commission while the industry leader Sedo charges 10% and may be wanting to hide from public how much unethical money they make off domain investors (2x the industry leader) doing absolutely nothing except providing a normal sales platform. If they can fall back to the 10% for normal and 15% for special network sales, it had be still alright. Greed is one of top factors that sink a company very fast.

    For now, you can enjoy the fruits of my labor.

    thx

      I’m not sure how you are going to keep it a secret by posting it on a public forum. Anyway, the source is currently dry. I’m not sure if Afternic already working on it or it’s temporarily for now.

        Since you yourself claim to have had access to this, this would a good time to share it with other domainers for the benefit of domaining community.

        If you fear Afternic, please mail it to me at info@gowebnames.com. I can share it at the NamePros.com thread quoting you anonymously.
