I'm trying to sell some domains because I'm reducing my collection. I made a webpage with a list and a form to get offers, check it out at tcghost .org. Is this a good approach, or should I try something else? What kind of outcomes do people see when they list domains for sale in the negotiable forum here?
Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
The effectiveness of this method can vary quite a bit depending on several factors like the quality of the domains, your SEO efforts, and how much traffic you're able to drive to the page. If you're not getting much traffic to your site, then having a great list of domains and a form might not be enough to attract offers.
Many domainers also choose to list their domains on forums and marketplaces where buyers are actively looking for domain names. For example, the negotiable forums on platforms like NamePros or DNForum are popular places where domainers can list domains for sale. The outcomes here can vary widely. Some people have great success flipping domains quickly if they have good, catchy names that attract attention. Others might find that their listings languish without any offers for months. It all comes down to the domain names you're selling and how well you're pricing them.
From my experience, when you list domains on a forum, it's crucial to be clear about your expectations—whether you're looking for offers or have a set price in mind. Buyers on these forums are usually looking for deals and might be hesitant to make an offer if they don't have a price point to start with. Sometimes having a 'make an offer' option can work, but often having at least a starting price helps set the stage for negotiations.
Also, keep in mind that the domain selling market is quite dynamic. What might be a hot name today could lose value if trends change, so it's important to keep an eye on the market and adjust your strategy accordingly. And always, be patient—sometimes the right buyer just takes a little time to find.
If your webpage isn't generating the results you're looking for, definitely consider listing on domain forums or even marketplaces like Sedo or Afternic. They have a built-in audience of buyers and can help you reach a wider market. And remember, the domain market can be unpredictable, so sometimes it just takes a bit of luck and timing to make a sale.
