Thanks Tim.
Will do.
So, does anyone disagree that godaddy, Sedo are a good option, considering their recent partnership that apparently has a lot of domainers receiving a tonne of lowball 60 dollar offers? I've heard this has become an issue for many.

Most domains are worth far less than $60. Most domainers think their domains that are no better than average are worth more than $60. Careful when people use the term lowball because in most cases they want way too much.
Having said that most people think very valuable domains are worth $50 etc when they are trying to buy so it goes both way, but mainly it is domainers want more than market value.
Eg I just sold a domain today for $6500 that in the past I'd asked $70,000 for. I paid about $5000 for it.

Hi John,
The asking price is $70,000 USD. We also offer direct leasing which may work out well if you are already buying traffic on the page through Yahoo,
Best regards,

hi Paul,
thanks for the quick responce you must get lots of queries. Just a heads up, if you are interested in selling I think your way off target.
best wishes, thanks again.

Guess what? He was right.
But anyway, about "lowball" offers, $10, $20, $60 offers are normal. It is not Godaddy or Sedo's fault.
