Title: Truth About Dan.com and Domain Sales
Post by: Domaining News on Jun 02, 2023, 02:03 AM
About a year ago, GoDaddy acquired Dan.com, a popular marketplace that the founders had hoped would become a one-stop domain shop. It's hard to blame them for selling out, though, when $71.4 million is on the line.

Despite mixed opinions about Dan.com, there are sellers who appreciate the ease of use of the platform and buyers who have found their dream domains there. However, some detractors believe the site facilitates the unethical sale of other people's property. In reality, the domains listed belong to individuals, not Dan.com.

Two recent reviews offer contrasting views of the marketplace. One review criticizes Dan.com for contributing to wealth inequality, while another applauds the platform for facilitating a long-awaited purchase. It's worth noting that domains have functioned as investment vehicles for nearly 30 years. The positive review demonstrates how a great domain marketplace can help users acquire sought-after domains.
