Let’s explore further:
1. Finding an end user
Two words: GOOD LUCK!!
2. Traditional marketplaces (Sedo , Afternic )
Since these have millions of domains listed the chances to get noticed are slim to none. These places are great when end users are looking for you but from liquidity standpoint, don’t hold your breathe.3. Message boards
By far the best option out of the three however, gaining exposure is hard as you compete with many other listings during the day .
Additionally, many sellers do not understand buyers are tired of wasting their time. It is not just considering your domains and your prices but for sellers, the equation is how many considerations do they need to go over in order to find a deal? This is an essential question for sellers and by understanding it you increase your chances many times over to sell your domains.
What is the solution to liquidity?
1. Do not waste buyers’ time.
If you are truly interested in liquidity, let the market decide the true market value of your domain. Do not guess what they will pay.
3. Make sure exposure is there.
In order to get the most for your domain you have to make sure your listed property has the exposure it needs to have. Less exposure = less money.
These are the issues and thoughts we go through building Bido . To serve our marketplace better our eyes are always open, we always listen. If you were to liquidate today, meaning, if by end of day you had to have money in your pockets, how would you go about it? If you ever had to liquidate, did you find the process easy, or hard?
Thanks in advance for your input!
