So far i've been able to sell 2 domain names on Sedo. I set the price for 299, I get offered 300, and I choose the option that allows me to enter the domain into a public auction, with the accepted offer price as the first bid. On ebay, I use featured listing, and use the "buy it now or best offer" feature. I am still waiting to see whether I can still via this method on ebay. Commissions (~10%) + Listing/Advertising price ($30-50) eat away at profits. So, my question is, what do you guys do to sell your domains? Do you price it low, like I do, to attract attention? Or do you price it very high, so when the offer is made, the bidder thinks he is getting a deal? Do you spend a lot on featured listings and advertising? Do you sell on Ebay, Sedo, or somewhere else?
I price it for what I will sell it for. I don't like to play games, and that will usually attract buyers who don't play games either. I see no reason to start an auction at $1, when I know I won't sell for less than $????. This is not a game of Clue. With the exception of High Value domains that sell for $XXXX and up, I think auctions are a waste of time for everyone. Either you want it for the price that I am selling it for, or have an offer, or you don't. Just like any other business. People who bid on dollar auctions, are not premium buyers, they are garage sale shoppers. There is nothing wrong with that, some people like a portfolio of $10 domains because they have a reason for having them, but to sit and waste time taking bids at $1 at a time is just a waste of time. But I am different. I also don't hold a domain that is only worth $10. That is also a waste of time to me.
I forgot to ad that ebay sucks for domains, half of them are waaayyyy overpriced, with fake PR. People sell on Ebay looking for inexperienced buyers who don't know any better.
Agree about ebay...sometimes the odd good one comes available. If you have a good domain name you might also try direct marketing to potential end users. Have had some good success with this approach. More work but you avoid commissions and auctions...
I have just recently added my domains onto sedo, how much of a difference would it make if i spent money on advertisement, top listing etc.
