I will take a look at that...do they charge a fee?

It seems just managing my domains, buying, selling, auctions is like a full time job...need to find time to work on actual websites.

no, tdnam is free to list, you can pay for front page promotion though I think

they charge a commission on the sale when it does sell though, and they can help with escrow too if you have a domain worth more than $500 I think

If this is what your talking about? Seems to be a $4.99 yearly fee...

Yeh, they need it so they can get domains for you and renew them. You also need to fill out a form authorizing that they can purchase domains for you on your behalf. It's a good system.

oh ok $4.99, it's been a while, free or $4.99 same difference really, that is not per domain either, that is just the membership fee and then you can put as many as you like I believe

Okay thanks, since I need to sell like 500 ASAP I just emailed Rick Latona to see if he can help me find a buyer. My plan was to make $$$ in adult to pay for my domain portfolio...but things are not going as planned. So I need to sell half of the weaker names.

the thing with selling any domains on any site, you need to promote them yourself anyways (unless we are talking premium)..... don't expect to list a bunch of half crappy domains anywhere and make any sales, there are so many 100's of thousands of domains for sale that potential buyers will hardly have a chance to notice yours unless you somehow draw attention to them

also, don't put $50 price tags on $10 domain names or you will just be wasting your time

for cheaper domains buyers tend to like a realistic "buy it now" price so they can grab it if they like it with no hassles, auctions tend to only work if your domain is truly worth more AND you can promote it some way to actually get some interested buyers looking at it

also remember that after a sale it tends to take about a month to finish a transaction and get paid, so don't expect to do this and have your money tomorrow... for that you are better off dealing with people you know on a forum person to person

that's about all the advice I can think of right now, maybe someone else can comment on their experience

Ok Ok, I am sick of you whining! I will agree to sell TrannyCreampies.com back to you after it drops.:mad:

Good advise:thumbsup

I should have decided in the beginning that if I was not planning on using the domain for a site...I should have already been trying to sell it...not a week before expiration. :1orglaugh

d-null 05-03-2009 10:17 PM

you are going to have to renew the domain because you won't be able to transfer the domain to a new buyer with less than a week to expiry anyways

Hotrocket 05-03-2009 10:56 PM

If you have tons of domains to keep track of the renewal dates and dont want to rely on emailed renewal notices, set up a google calendar with all your domains listed on or about the dates they expire, set the notice to repeat yearly, also set the pop up reminder to whatever suits you and add any notes like the registrar..etc.
It works great for me.

I believe it's $8.45 a year. I know we could save maybe two or three hundred bucks a year using a less expensive registrar, but given the value of the domains to our business, the reliability of Enom, and the lack of hassle, for me it's a good tradeoff, and I consider it cheap insurance.

BTW, Namecheap, which someone mentioned, is an Enom reseller.
