After limited âsuccessâ on eBay attracting bids, I am considering listing Shrewd (dot) com with GoDaddy Premium Listings. Itâs tough getting exposure on eBay with so many listings. I was also hoping that people interested in the domain would go to the domain name, see that it was for sale http://www.shrewd.com/domainnameforsale.htm
and maybe sell it that way, but that is getting less response than eBay.
It looks like GoDaddy has an offer where the commission is 20% for domains until the end of the month.
âNew premium listing created between 8/2/2011 and 8/31/2011 will be charged a commission fee of 20% of the sales price.â http://www.godaddy.com/domainaddon/premium-listing.aspx
Since the listings are for 30 days, I think I would be lucky if Shrewd (dot) com sold the first month unless I priced it low.
AFTER the thirty days, when I would have to relict, does anyone know if GoDaddy is going the rate back up to 30% not only for new listings, but also relisting?
10% would be a big difference to me on a sale.
I suppose it varies depending on the name, price and luck, but does anyone have feedback on how long it usually takes to sell a dictionary word, such as Shrewd (dot) com on Godaddy?
I also think GoDaddyâs Premium listing is more of a fixed price service, so I might have to cut back on my asking price to account for the expected discount. Although I recall hearing on DNforum that people have negotiated Premium Listings.
Any suggestions on pricing (I did have an appraisal thread on DN forum a while ago) or marketing are appreciated. Or I could price it high and wait for the economy and market to recover? Or I could sell it wholesale and throw in the towel. ?
