@AGreatDomain Interesting- thanks Bob for sharing

Efty just announced Smart Tools to help streamline the listing process, including USP (Unique Selling Proposition), as well as a Lead Score to evaluate significance of an offer. blog.efty.com/2026/03/18/int…

@Brand_Hatched Can you share why you select BB over Atom? I really don’t know BB

My latest bunch of #Brabdables published at #BrandBucket #DomainForSale

@dotcomrealty @atomHQ Looks like they’ve fixed it

@DomainJames @atomHQ Just checked a few of my landers there. I didn't opt in or out, and don't see any banners or indication of the sale.

👀 I do really like @atomHQ but I think it's fair to call out areas where they are not working in my (our) favour. I opted out of the 25% discount/sale they are promoting now, yet on all my landers it includes a banner directing potential buyers away from my domain to those running the 25% discount. That is not cool and needs to change in future campaigns...

@DomainGoodness @atomHQ They responded. It was an error their side

@DomainJames @atomHQ that makes your sales page (by definition) not a landing page but just another web page. a landing page has one objective only and definitely does not distract the visitor with other messaging.

@grantpolachek @atomHQ Cheers

@DomainJames @atomHQ Agreed. This banner shouldn’t be appearing here. We’ve reported it to our tech team and expect it to be removed shortly.

@ThemvpEth @atomHQ It’s different. Atom marketplace delivers results on my names, but so does afternic. I have no complaints on sales at atom. And I love the data and support. It’s all about the names…

be warned if you have names at ATOM - they've launched a .com birthday sale event which means your names are discounted by 25%, so when you add that to a 25% commission, means your losing 50%! Just flagging in case you want to opt out

@handreg Technically we have opted in to do this via dashboard settings

@DomainJames so a 25% off discount without permission?

Thanks for the response. Someone else made the point about lower commission during these events, as otherwise the numbers don’t stack. Take for example a domain I price at 10k. It is discounted by 25% to 7.5k and sells, with commission of 30% means I get 5250$. I then pay taxes… so the seller gets significantly below 50% of the original price whilst ATOM gets increased sales and revenue. It’s not in sync.

Thanks for flagging this. We run a couple of marketplace promotions each year (including Black Friday and the .COM birthday sale). Sellers always have the option to opt in or opt out from their marketplace settings. These events typically drive meaningfully higher sell-through rates across the marketplace, but we want sellers to decide whether they’d like to participate or offer a discount. We also display dashboard notices about 10 days before the promotion begins so sellers have time to adjust their participation. We’ll also look into adding additional reminders via messages or email to make sure everyone is aware.

@Domainora Yeah. That’s right. Everything reduced by 25%!!!

Seems we're giving a 25% discount on all our names at Atom!! atom.com/domain-portfol… Enjoy it while it lasts! 😇😁

@DomainDan @handreg Agreed. Just opted out as I repriced names recently to lower rates

@handreg @DomainJames You have to opt in within Marketplace settings.

@DancerA Honestly I’m not sure. I’ve done about $40k there in the last 12 months that I don’t think I’d have sold at afternic. Maybe I’m wrong

@DomainJames Having domainers vote on domain quality to secure entry into a marketplace is a certain way to insure that the marketplace will be full of domain names of dubious and inferior quality

and the ATOM rejects

@ishmilly @Motorv8tion Time to break out the Sabrina Carpenter lyrics

Are you nice to your Ai tools? ie do you speak to them with please & thank you like you would a human employee? i do but i was curious to know how other people think and feel about this.

@DancerA I think a bunch of folks would disagree !

@DomainJames Atom is the bell weather of worthless domain names

@OsinachiChukw13 Thanks. Yeah she is. It looking to reg names for a long time. This is about learning the industry jargon and how it all works. Exciting

@DomainJames She should start sorting names at ED until more of her wishlisted names got caught or registered than not. She should not register anyone for a few weeks.

My wife wants to start help / get involved in domains and we start tomorrow. How would you recommend I start educating her from essentially a zero knowledge base? Looking forward ideas / suggestions

Do you have a domain-investing topic you’d like to discuss? Post it on this thread and join me and Josh @domainpro this Thursday for the DNX Show. Each week we have an open discussion so please join us on stage. And bring your domains for free appraisals! twitter.com/i/spaces/1nxeL…

@my1crypto @AGreatDomain Yeah. Thinking this is the route

@DomainJames @AGreatDomain GoDaddy Domain Academy is a structured 30-hour curriculum that teaches domain name investing and covers valuation, brokerage & portfolio management. Highly recommend!

@aem76us @andrewrosener Love it but not sure she’s ready for Drew yet! That like taking you 18 year kid who’s starting drinking to a whisky club and going straight for the top shelf !
