There are few things you may want to know about the list of domains and our philosophies/ideas as for creating Bido :
(Created with Flowchart.com )
1. We received tens of thousands of domain submissions however, all we saw was either domains that do not fit our stated criteria, or domains that were priced too high for us to guarantee. In light of that experience we decided to list all current domains (list below) ourselves, what we call a “House Listing ” (see bottom of page for more information).
2. All domains were chosen extremely carefully, not just for quality, but to test the waters, learn what works, what doesn’t. While they are likely not six figures domains some we believe are low five figures and most (if not all) are four figures domains. The true value? That is to be determined soon!
3. Our goal is to create a liquid market. What is a domain worth TODAY? Not tomorrow, not next week, not next year, but today. One way to find out is to give the domain as much exposure as possible, start extremely low, have no reserve, and watch the action. Yes, we’re fully aware we may lose some GREAT inventory during the process and that’s OK. We’re committed to creating a liquid market in the illiquid world of domain names.
4. Our other goal is to educate the marketplace, both insiders and outsiders. We do that by having expert commentary with each domain auction. In addition we plan to invite heavy hitters from various industries to participate. Bringing mainstream to comment will bring mainstream eyeballs to the world of domains (or so we believe).
Lastly, below is a a copy of DNZoom By Bido Newsletter I just got in my mailbox. While not the best quality (due to resizing by me) you may want to read a little more, see what we have in store for you. As always, questions, comments are most welcome!
