Which platform, Afternic or Sedo, has yielded more sales for you recently? Specifically, where have you seen the most success in the past six months to a year?

Additionally, if your sales have been through Afternic, which nameservers have you been using - ns1/ns2, ns3/ns4, or ns5/ns6?

GoDaddy's MLS network tends to attract more attention to Afternic, however, I personally favor Sedo as a company.

When it comes to domain listings, I have had no issues with Sedo, while I have faced problems with Afternic where domains already listed and approved sometimes get stuck in pending review for months without any reason until I contact their support team.

In terms of payments, I have noticed that I receive payment faster on Sedo as soon as I push the domain, the ACH payment reaches my bank the very next day, whereas I have to wait for Afternic to pay me after a sale.

As far as support goes, Sedo has been more responsive to my inquiries, and I assume buyers experience the same.

While Sedo's interface may look outdated, it still works smoothly, unlike Afternic's which feels clunky. It seems like Afternic acquired Dan to learn how to create a clean lander, and Uniregistry to develop an efficient messaging system that allows for successful self-brokering.

In my opinion, Afternic should redirect Afternic and Uniregistry to Dan and make it the new Afternic since it has all the necessary options and a clean interface.

When I receive an MLS sold email, I prefer it to be from Sedo since I know the transaction and payment process will be quicker. With Afternic, I feel like they are the 800lb gorilla in the room with unlimited money that buys everyone out instead of focusing on fixing simple website improvements that take forever.

If both MLS networks had equal exposure, I would delete my Afternic account. However, since GoDaddy is in their MLS network, I use both.
