Alright thanks 🙏🏼

I discovered that some niches plural versions are more registered and developed to a functional websites while the singular versions are still available.
Example, deckbuilders vs. deckbuilder

Here's chat gpt analysis:

1) People search in plural when they want options
Most users search for many choices, not one item.
Examples:
New York homes
New York apartments
Deck building in Fargo

2. Plural suggests multiple providers or services, which is perfect for a company having many professional to handle the job than the singular version (deckbuilder) that implies a "one man business"

I'm not outrightly ruling out the selling possibilities of singular versions, rather making reference to "higher chances" of getting sold as it relates to market demands.

While doing a pricing experiment, I slashed the prices on my domains to $1988 over the weekend. Now one of the domains is on hold on Afternic. I forgot that this domain is also a premium domain on Atom at $3.5k. Unfortunately, I can't update the price on Afternic since it's on hold now, the only thing I could do was just update the NS to Afternic, to save on their commissions. Has anyone been in this situation before? How did it go? Kindly advice if there is anything I can do cuz I'm pretty sure this sale will complete on Afternic and Atom will definitely come for me. Thanks

EDIT: The domain has now sold on Afternic as expected but via LTO. Now, they are waiting for Auth Code to complete the transfer. Still waiting for update/advice on anyone who has been in this situation and line of action to take. Thanks

UPDATE: The Issue has now been resolved. Thanks to everyone. Will post details of the sale soon.

How much per

aywhy93:
I have some Premium and Sapphire Domains on ATOM, 70+ altogether. But I have been feeling pessimistic towards Atom lately, it just seems like they are never gonna sell any of these names, lots of datapoints but no real exposure/value to me, I've gotten a few offers but no success on the platform.

Does anyone feel the same way about them? I am thinking of moving all my premium domains to Afternic instead i.e. pointing the NS to afternic but will still be listed on Atom as Plus/Standard domains. Is that a better strategy..? Also, doesn't seem like most domainers here find success on Atom, most of the reported sales here are Afternic/Spaceship. General issue eh?

I often ask this question under my breath. I hope this year is different.. Sold one 2024, blank 2025 and one just last month..

@ aywhy93 what do you mean by Atom will come for you? Is it not your own domain? Simply unlist at Atom and other marketplaces you've listed it and supply the code to afternic.

Boss, he broke Atom's rule of pricing names on Afternic at a certain percentage higher than the listing price on Atom.

Congratulations on your sale, first and foremost.

Supply the auth code to Afternic, then inform Atom that the name sold on Afternic, and that you erroneously priced it lower during a portfolio-wide price reduction on Afternic. If this is your first time, nothing will happen.

As for the nameservers you changed after the name went on hold on Afternic, e no go work.

They already logged the active nameserver when the name went on hold, so anticipate the high commission.

Congratulations 🎉

Thank you very much. That's exactly what I did, just like you mentioned, nothing happened because it's my first time making that mistake, they just explained to me to ensure I don't make mistakes on the pricing moving forward. I'm working on adjusting the prices on the other premiums now.

On the other hand, the nameserver change I did worked, the NS during sale was what stood, which is the Afternic NS, I also got further discount on the commission because it's 13months LTO, the commissions on 1-12 months LTO is higher than 13-24months. Thanks

It's a premium domain on Atom so I can't unlist it myself without notifying them and I had priced it lower on Afternic, which is against Atom's premium names policy. Atom too get wahala.

That's not too bad in my opinion, though, it depends on the STR of those premium names. How many are they if I may ask?

I wasn't the one who answered you, someone else did.

BTW, You asked a question and concluded it doesn't make sense at that very instant too, without knowing the reason. If you really wanted to know why, you'd have asked without jumping into conclusion that what you don't know doesn't make sense. Thanks anyways!

It's a lease-to-own (LTO) sale Bossman.

He would not reveal the name till he gets his complete payment.

LTO sales are sweet. It becomes sweeter when the potential new owner defaults in the 7th month.

Congratulations Bossman 🥂

Haha, that's funny, I can't relate yet, I'm happy with the sale but I prefer BIN where the funds will drop at once... GBAMMM!!!
I feel like that money becomes more useful in bulk but a sale is a sale oooh. Thanks a lot Baba!
