While we're all worried about Dan commissions under GoDaddy, here's your reminder that you can still pay just 3% commissions on self-negotiated sales at Uniregistry. (I think the buyer pays the credit card fees.)

Acquire domain. Try to list it on Afternic. Says it's already in Afternic. Is there still no easy way to tell Afternic to override this? I mean, it's been like 10 years of asking, so...

One of the smart things GoDaddy did about 12 months ago was hire
@jamesiles
as domain investor community manager.
I send James GD bugs & he figures out how to get them resolved. He can't always get them fixed immediately, but it's great to know they're on someone's radar.

Just won a name back that I sold a couple of years ago. Buyer never did anything with it and let it drop. I felt comfortable paying more than other people b/c I know how many inquiries it received over the years.

This real estate agent mails an expensive glossy market report to target homeowners with homes in the $1.5m-$10m range. So why skimp on the URL? (It doesn’t resolve btw)

Whiskey .com sold for $250k. I think it was a nice deal for the buyer. Last sold for $185k in 2009; the whisky .com version (no e) sold for $3.1M in 2014. Curious to see if it's an investor or someone who plans to do something with it. I'm happy to contribute whiskey reviews...
