Domains For Sale Section Of GFY Is A Crock

[ArcherJanvier]

If the folks at GFY really wanted to provide an honest forum for domains for sale, that would be great.

But if you honestly think that one person has the smarts or the right to give a thumbs up or thumbs down on what gets posted and how it is promoted, this whole section of GFY is a crock of shit.

IMHO, all "Hunting Moon" does is cherry pick the domain submissions and promote just the ones that he thinks he can make bank on. Any one else with "B" grade domains or lower will never get promoted.

Granted, there are a lot of people who over-estimate the value of what are obviosly shit (worthless) domain names, but there is no excuse for asking people to submit their domains here when they will be essentially be buried in a black hole.

Sorry if your names were not selected. Feel free to email them again.

HuntingMoon.com/gfy will keep curating a preferred list of names and properties, and there will be a self-managed platform/marketplace for you and others to trade in shortly.

Hunting Moon is a broker, there's no incentive for them to select below average domains to list for sale in the low $$$.

Not sure what's funny, that domain sale is understandable at that price considering there's hundreds of garage door contractors who'd be vying for that domain as the top name for their industry.

How many jobs is that $44,000 domain going to create that they otherwise wouldn't have gotten? Realistically, will the domain ever pay for itself?

What is the better choice?...

A) AcmeGarageDoors.com and $44,000 in local advertising

B) GarageDoorRepair.com

[Penny24Seven]

a domain is worth what you can get for it, someone posted one last week he paid 990 bucks for and 99% said it was worth 8 bucks and even I agreed lol.
I sold one for 7K that I didn't think was worth 50 bucks and I have some that I cannot get 50 bucks for that I think are worth a lot.
customsexvideos, chaydin and 2012camaro.com no offers even worth talking about, I figured the camaro domains could be used for someone with a car blog, i've got 2013 and 2014camaro as well LOL, I have never heard of HM site but going to check it out

I agree, maybe they can make a site and act like they know all the companies in the US and hook them up with a repair guy and get a cut each time they get a job, like those 1-800 lawyer lines. Hell i'm gonna buy acmeGaragedoorRepair.com and start booking some jobs lol

[lagcam]

+1 for "a domain will sell for what somebody will pay for it".

It's funny how people who complain that Evan doesn't list their domain or reply to their email never seem to mention the fantastic domain that the listing is missing out on......

What do you lose? I bet Evan gets a lot of mail, and I am sure some can get missed.

Name the domain, if Evan isn't interested somebody else might be.

They are not stupid for asking...peoples are stupid for paying..

Your question has too many variables, your comment suggests you're only looking at the domain's benefit from an offline marketing viewpoint. A multi state garage door repair company doing 7-8 figures annually could easily recoup the domain's cost within a month using its online advantages.

that is actually an awesome domain name, and at $44k was very reasonably priced.
Avg CPC is $19

It would be nice if Hunting Moon answered emails, even if its just a no.

Well, they don't. I've submitted domains more than three times and nothing so I no longer bother with them.

Good luck buying acmegaragedoors.com for zero dollars; it's been registered for over a decade.

The only people who complain about sales of other names are people butthurt that nobody is interested in their own 'superior' domains.

It's not having a 'good' name that matters, it's having a name that someone else thinks they really need, and finding that someone.

[Pink Misfit]

Being able to recoup the price of a domain may be hard for someone who doesn't know how to use the domain properly but fairly easy for someone with a plan and knowledge of how to utilize what the domain has to offer. When you see high sales on domains that almost no one else would buy is because they usually have a business already with that name or they have a business setup in the works. For generic domain that has high searches any company that can buy the domain can gain a bit of control over the market and over their competition.

Let's see some of these domains that Huntingmoon thought not worthy of a "fuck off" so we can help you get closure.......

Well, since you do not have to pay for it not much point in being mad. Free services aren't always good.

That domain could be a gold mine if it was turned into a national brokerage of some sort for garage door repair companies. Those things are expensive.

I wonder what BicycleRepairMan.com would be worth then, seeing as there's hundreds--probably thousands--of bicycle repair men vying for that domain...

Not very much for that domain, BicycleRepair.com would be the domain you'd want for that niche service.

Not to mention, it's not a high dollar service. Many people just go buy a new bike. A garage door is a big-ticket item that people pay to get repaired because it's too expensive to simply replace.

Yeah, I certainly agree with you that HM should at least send out a standard reply of sorry we aren't interested in your domains at this time, otherwise some think their domains never even got looked at. Only domain on your list I'd think maybe had a shot at getting listed is glamourwebcams.com for 1-2k maybe.

Excellent point, I just had a garage door repair guy come out and spend 30 minutes fixing my belt, realigning my door and putting on new casters and it was $400. Your idea of a national directory on that domain, whereby individual contractors in each state could pay a monthly fee to be listed, would be an excellent way to monetize that domain.

With over 27,000 searches a month at $19 CPC and how easy it is to rank an emd, it could be worth it.

If you were #1 for Garage Door Repair, with just adsense and a decent CTR, you could make $300-$500 a day.

Does EMD help that much on google these days? I was reading some seo blogs and they tend to afree that emd is not that much important on google anymore (still works well on yahoo search though)

I'd go with B if a long term business plan as [Garage Door Repair] has 27,100 "exact" searches per month with high competition so for someone buying clicks in google buying killer domains makes more sense as after the initial cost is paid then your basically looking at just registration fee per year so long term domain is a better buy.

Could build a new site on it, redirect it to your existing garage door business or build a directory and categorize by state and charge monthly fees to advertisers as you already know with high competiton for the term very expensive for them to play the google game and with a nice designed directory, good seo, killer domain should be a nice business.

I have bought domains for a few busineses in the 1-5k range and built simple pages for them and the leads do flow on keyword generics with minimal work.

Depends on the type of domains you are looking to buy or sell.

Name jet
snapnames
moniker
afternic

There are a few other places but again it depends on what you are looking to buy or sell.
