Several hours a day I go through the names up for auction and check through the results. Over the years I’ve built myself a little checklist that I am 100% positive leads to higher results.
I've broken out the main points:
- Pick the auction house that has seen the best results for your type of domain.
- Forward the domain name to the auction.
- Take off or adjust your Buy It Now prices off at Afternic, Godaddy and any other places that you may have them.
- Start your beginning bid as low as you can if you have a reserve on the name.
- If you can give a description, list facts, not opinions.
- Give solid comparables without reaching.
- End your auction on Monday through Thursday at any time besides US drive times if you have a choice.
- Get as many eyeballs to your auction as you can.
- Make sure you can transfer the domain and the email is correct on the domain you are selling.
- If you have a page of other domains you have for sale, put that url in your Whois description.
