Hi GFY,

How's it going by you? Back in August 2010, just as HuntingMoon and GFY entered into a partnership to help its members buy and sell domains safely, we managed to flip Pornstar.com for $1.5M. The buyer is taking over the site and affiliate program as I type this. Congrats to the buyer and seller!

Bid early and often! If you like a name and wish to request a reserve reduction, please do not hesitate to email [email protected] or submit a request via the auction site.

I contacted you regarding selling a domain and you stopped responding. Can you icq me 258616899. Thanks

Congrats Evan! :thumbsup

I see you still have a few you bought from me, I hope they aren't that bad, lol! :winkwink:

hi Harvey, we dropped any names we don't think we can sell so keeping them means we think they will sell. :)

Wow congrats on the sale.
You love that domain long time

yessir, thanks- 3rd transaction for me :thumbsup

When are you going to give me $98 for MILFThreesomes.com?

It's not hard to understand:

If your domain sucks, they or anyone else does not want to be bothered with it.

there are a lot of names in the auction that are great investments

1.5M

Nice little off the back end for evan... sweet, congrats to buyer and seller

lo, take off a couple of zeros at the end and u might sell some, gl.

So its completely owned by MediaRevenue now?

Evan, do you think maybe the way you have this set up is preventing bidding activity?

I am not, and of course, nobody can, doubt your ability to close major deals, but there are many many domains in this auction, and almost zero activity.... unless of course there are a lot of bids, "outside the system" (in which case you should get them in the system quickly to encourage others).

In my humble opinion, having the reserve as the starting price is a mistake. Surely allowing people to make a significantly lower opening bid would generate a lot more interest which in turn could help build momentum.

If I saw a domain I liked but was unsure whether it was worth the reserve price, being able to make a bid on it and seeing whether others were also interested might help convince me.

It would also give the domain owner the chance of continuing negotiation with an interested party (through you) after the event. :2 cents:

transition in progress, yes

i hear you, but i don't think that is an issue at all. we have run several auctions with the same exact model and the last one in sept was so well participated that it crashed. never know how the auctions will finish. secondly, bidders should and usually don't hesitate to request a reserve reduction if they feel a name warrants it. if i had to be super critical, i would suggest that many domains are priced above market. there are also names priced below market. if the auction does not work out, we can keep pushing with fixed prices for our clients and hopefully the exposure provided for the names works out like usual... thanks for your feedback and we'll have to wait and see how the auction finishes.

I agree with Lagcam. I judge if a name is worth the asking price based on others bidding. What does it hurt starting a bid lower, and having a reserve? If I was selling a domain and received zero bids, I would then wonder how much lower I need to make the fixed price. There is always the buy it now price if someone does want it bad, thinks the price is worth it and does not want to risk losing it during an auction.

The only good thing I see to this is people who are not motivated to sell. They are happy to wait for the right big fish to come along, if it is 30 days or 3 years. Just using the auction as exposure.

Selling a domain for 1.5M ... Nice.
Selling that same domain for the third time... Very Nice
How much do you plan to sell it for the next time? ;)

nice list :)

$1.5m is a bunch of money! congrats :thumbsup

Thanks for letting us know that it's MediaRevenue. At least affiliates will know to stay away.

The clock is ticking for MR, they just are too dumb to realize it.
