POLL: What is your preferred method?
 

Good morning,

What is your preferred method of buying a premium domain?

(a) Fixed Price listing within thread here on gfy
(b) Link to Fixed Price listing on aftermarket side (e.g., sedo, godaddy)
(c) Buyers make offers publicly within thread here on GFY
(d) Buyers make offers privately (e.g., by email)
(e) Buyers make offers via link to auction site (e.g., sedo, godaddy)
(f) None of the above; I rarely buy premium domains


Insight into the community's preferences will help better serve both buyers and sellers of domains, so thank you for participating.

Cheers,

Your understanding of the biz, alongside your inability to consider making this an actual poll, for obvious reasons, astound me...

Well done - YOU WILL GO FAR...

fail is the answer

I like a and b.

CurrentlySober,

Why the harsh words? I posted this poll in earnest and it is the first time I use the feature. You'll notice that I did indeed post it as a poll, per se.

Still, I would appreciate your feedback on the subject of the poll.

Cheers,

Prob cause I am a bit drunk - angry at myself for being so - and annoyed that while you made an interesting question - that you didn't put a proper poll up to begin with..

Be honest... Had I NOT made that post, would you have even bothered to work out how to edit and do a poll?

CurrentlySober,

The honest truth is I was shocked to see two replies (of which, one was yours) while I was in the process of populating the proper poll. Still, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I believe that the more insight we have into our collective preferences, the more efficient and streamlined (and less spammy) this and other fora can become.

Would love your input if you haven't voted. Cheers

post your premium domain

Top Tip... Grow a thicker skin mate :) DONT BE 'SHOCKED' here... EVER...

Look at the name of the board for a clue... Its not just a name - Its the attitude... :helpme

Peace :)

FWIW I dont purchase premium domain names... I already own everything that I want :winkwink:

CurrentlySober, excellent point! :)
(In hindsight, "shocked" now appears to be a poor choice of words!) LOL

Have a great day, mate

Pretty much :)

2intense,

Will do. First looking to hear gfy members' preferences: Private vs. Public. Make Offer vs. Fixed Price. Here vs. link to Auction Site.


Thanks

Lykos,

Care to expound? Seriously, you appear (seeing your Join Date) to be a veteran and would love to have your input. Cheers,

Primebands, I think the attitude is that we see people like you appear out of the blue all the time and most, not all, but most leave with their tails between their legs - discredited before getting out of the starters gate.

You might want to put a better showcase domain in your sig.

AdultKing, I appreciate the feedback. By "people like you", do you mean people who are new to the gfy forum? Is it not worthwhile for forum members to be presented with domain names that may be worthwhile to own? Most importantly, I do want to better understand your comment about people being "with their tails between their legs". In what respect do you mean? The purpose of the poll is precisely to understand how people here prefer to be presented with premium domains available for purchase. Thanks

Emil, thanks for posting.

Thanks to those who have participated so far.

Nothing wrong with creative; trouble is most truly brand-able names are already taken…

Judging from the number of views, it appears that everyone's curious about others' views on the subject but far fewer people are actually expressing their own. Let's get some more participants :)

More input?

When you make a poll thread, the thread is posted first and then you have whatever time to create the poll on the next page. So the first couple people in the thread probably won't see a poll if it hasn't been made yet..

Jakez,

Thank you ever so much for the input. I found out the hard way:) Cheers
