Name-Maker made a profound post in the private Platinum Members forum. It illustrates a very important point. This is his post:
What this amounts to is you don't build a snow ski shop in the middle of the Mohave desert and expect to sell any snow skis. Unless of course you have a website. Anyone that sells domain names, that can't decide whether to upgrade to Platinum for $49.95/year and reads that post and still can't decide, is nuts. Talk to Topnames. Ask him about his brief departure and what happened when he returned. I can tell you. He sold a shit load of domain names. Ask him if $49.95/year is a fair price.
If you don't sell domain names disregard all of this. Don't upgrade to Platinum. You'd be wasting your money.
If you only buy names get a Gold membership. It's $14.95/year. You won't find a better place to buy. Especially while the Live auctions are in their infancy.

My final days of domain trading have become a bit of a proving ground for both DNF and DS.
I've placed the same 5 "Domain for Sale" ads on both DNF and DS. 6 hours later the results are:
DNF: 10 Sales (yeah!)
DS: 0 Sales
You be the judge, but it appears to me that DNF is a far more effective platform for domain sales. I guess the Hatfields win .
The proofs in the pudding folks.
Kudos to Gregr and staff!!!
