As I mentioned earlier today I started tracking GoDaddy public auctions lately. I had another domainer ask why they didn’t seem to do as well as expired auctions. (People would rather donate to GoDaddy than another domainer?). In talking with Michael Sumner he explained that Namebio has not tracked GoDaddy public auctions, no real way […]

Continue ReadingA big difference in negotiating a sale on GoDaddy vs Sedo
There is an art to negotiation, a risk taken by turning down an offer and countering for more. You may end up turning down an offer you believe is fair for the prospect of a better price. I kept most of my names at Sedo and over the years I have had my fair share […]

I had an interesting conversation about a week ago where someone asked me about the GoDaddy valuations. I said they are mostly for entertainment purposes but I do think they do harm […]
Continue ReadingIt’s time for GoDaddy to initiate bidder id’s to GoDaddy auctions
A lot of info is coming to light on Namepros and to a lesser degree on TheDomains where people are commenting on NameJet bidding practices.
