I said you schmuck you had the perfect reply, “Sorry I don’t buy domain names from domainers.” He laughed and said, “Oh crap, that would have been the perfect reply.” Yet later on in that conversation as it had shifted, he brought up this domainer again, mentioning that the domainer emailed him some names he had for sale. While talking about the email from the reader with a good friend in the business, he laughed and said when he was at NamesCon a very prominent domainer told him he did not buy from domainers while they were having a drink. He replied “Oh yeah, but this was a public auction, I don’t buy from domainers.” I said well idiot you could have gotten this name for $30. Later that day he texted me back and asked why did you send me that link? I said what are you talking about? Isn’t that one of the niches you have been buying up? He replied thanks! I personally had watched auction wins by him where he was paying $400 to $500 a name. So one day I text him a link to a GoDaddy auction that had one $12 bid in one particular niche. Maybe they will be the ones to do it.Īnother case of note was someone who I know well in the business, that focuses on a few niches. ![]() I think there is a HUGE opportunity to create a vibrant secondary market based on their model. There is almost always something good crossing the block. Lastly, Snapnames provides a “daily show”. I paid you 15k because I am hoping to develop the name at one point in the future, that assumes I’ll be able to renew it. I didn’t pay 15k to buy your name so I could chase you around the world to unlock the name and provide an authcode. If I buy a name privately I might not get the authcode. They provide certainty of title so I know the name isn’t stolen, they facilitate the authcodes and assist in transfering names to my prefered consolidation registrar. The answer is: Snapnames is more than an auction block… they are a clearing house. People ask me why I would spend so much money (millions a year) at Snapnames but not buy lower priced names more aggresively on chatboards and privately. ![]() The prices are higher at Snap because they are honest and because they have done a good job securing high quality invetory (they run all their names across the block and don’t hold back the good ones for themselves). ***FS*** I like Snapnames because they run an honest block. (Perhaps include a success story as well?) Way back in the day, circa 2007, when Frank Schilling was blogging regularly at, many a reader would ask why Frank would not buy names from them, or on a forum?įrank actually answered the question in a post where he posted 5 questions asked by Domainer’s Magazine that was apparently never published.Ĥ: For those of you that still buy names on “The Drop”, what services do you use and have the most success with. When they asked me what I thought? I said it’s something I have seen many a time, and not just with end users. The prospect replied, “Sorry Robert, I don’t buy from domainers on principle.” David. The reader sent a targeted email to just one person, asking them if they would be interested in the domain name they had for sale. So the headline here comes from an email a reader sent me about an exchange they had with an end user.
