Domain sales sub-forum needs cleaning up

A few suggestions that come to mind at present:

1) Get rid of all the domain appraisals in the domain sales sub-forum. This speaks for itself. Members go to the domain sales forum as their interested in purchasing domains, not valuing them. Domain appraisals should remain in the Business > Domains forum section.

2) Make it a requirement that the seller states upfront a minimum bid amount they would accept for the sale, or better still a BIN price. I'm finding there are too many threads of the like "this domain is up for sale to see what I can get for it" which just clutter up the domain sales sub-forum and place less emphasise on the genuine domain sales threads.

That's enough of a rant for now. I always hate saying shit like this, as it means additional work involved (especially when you really dont need it) so I'm more than willing to assist in anyway I can.

cheers

 

ha, then you get someone selling a "three letter domain" which has a number in it and after people start posting their bids he says that he is expecting some ridiculous amount for it...

BTW, domain appraisals shoudn't even be posted here, this isn't a domain related forum, there are many other places where they can get their domain appraised

 

heh, i saw that thread the other day actually. just slightly high expectations

I'm not big on domain appraisals at all. Everyone values domains on a different basis based on what they know. What makes one more right then the other!? Many times Ive seen the same appraisals range in value from 1 figure through to 4 figures... which just goes to show how unreliable they can be. I'll let you know what the domain is worth after I've sold it! heh

 

Thanks for following through on this.
