@stripesupport is the absolute worst. We have been a customer for 10 years, and for over two weeks I have been unable to reach a human.

@NamecheapCEO Raise your hand if you’ve had your entire Afternic account deleted because you uplifted prices.
I’ll go first ✋

Based hack. If everyone followed this advice, I don't think that extra 10% commission they are charging you would last very long. In this scenario, sellers and buyers both win with lower prices and lower commissions. 🚀

Could this be the new standard? 🤷♂️ 👉 List on Spaceship using their lander 👉 List on Afternic at a higher price to offset extra fees

@domainretail Sedo. They have a great API. Stay tuned for Spaceship.

Disallowing Afternic listings for BrandBucket inventory was a great decision for our business. Since March, transactions are up 15%, and revenue is up 25-30%. Before the policy was announced, we tested with various portfolios, and the results were the same.
We can speculate why:
English
In case you didn't know, BrandBucket is the only marketplace where 100% of domains shown in search results are curated. If you are paying for "premium", your names should not be shown next to non-premium options.
English
I understand not everyone has the financial flexibility or courage to experiment for a month or two without Afternic. If you do, use your domains that are on a marketplace that is built for discovery (since registrars offer no discovery, and do not promote aftermarket names.)
English
3) Once a buyer understands that the marketplace is the exclusive source, they trust the marketplace more, and stick around longer.
Whatever the reason, saying no to Afternic works for BrandBucket, our sellers, and our buyers.

@margotb I see what you did there.
Can we still be friends?

Have you heard the phrase, "Anchor the potential buyer high?"
That means you price your domain name 10% to 40% above the fair market retail price.
Usually displayed on a for-sale landing page.
That gives you room to negotiate so that both you and the buyer feel like you won.

@MichaelCyger Hi Michael. Thanks for the reply. This is my personal Twitter account.
I'm glad to hear it is not in the course, because in my opinion it is an outdated practice that likens the domain industry to car salesmen, and creates an overall negative experience for buyers.

@margotb Hi Margot,
This is my personal Twitter account.
And, no, this is not something taught in the course.

@Berryhillj @doronvermaat @afternic @BrandAlready I honestly thought we were done with this with the new commission changes. If you point your names at them, and they have control of the price, you pay 15%. If you don't point, they have no control and you pay 25%.
You can't charge an extra 10% AND want to have pricing control.
English
@Berryhillj @doronvermaat @afternic Last year BrandBucket sellers were threatened with delisting if they did not comply with this "policy".
@BrandAlready did you ever get asked to lower the prices of your Squadhelp names?
English
Looks like @afternic is blazing a new trail in outright hypocrisy and dishonesty.
Afternic@afternic
Afternic Reseller partners spend significant money and resources to get eyes on premium domains. Pricing discrepancies create confusion and an overall negative experience for buyers. 🧵1/3

@NameBio Premium retailers typically keep 15% of their inventory as lower price/lower quality for this reason. The psychology of commerce...
English
@NameBio This method may work for domains sold mainly by type-in traffic. It's different for a browsing/shopping experience where a customer may be deciding between 2-5 options. The lower-priced names (that have buyers of their own) also serve as a way to justify the more expensive names.

@cultra Can the ladies have an additional handicap of 30 seconds/child? If so, I’m at 22:30. ;)

@jjstyler @godaddyauctions Curation is the future of commerce. Glad to see this.
English
Just launched a new homepage for anyone logged into @godaddyauctions Beta in the US, you will see some domains we think are good from the expiring inventory as we start curating the auctions inventory to highlight good domains. #domains
