Ok, I've been testing Dan with small percentage of my domains (under 10%), starting a few months ago. Some are BIN and some are Make Offer.

So far, no sales, 2 offers, one bogus, one low ball.

While I think the landers are nice, its definitely not generating any more leads than my own "contact" page landers.

I also note that the hybrid dan/bodis pages definitely hurt the click through rates and thus revenue on the ads. Of course selling an extra domain or two would more than make up for that, but so far I haven't seen that happen either.

Any one else have any comments on their Dan experience?
 
I can’t really say that my testing has been noteworthy. I only did it with 1% of my domains and only BIN and lease as options.

I think my approach with Dan has been rather than get useless/fake offers with my own lander; I can avoid it completely with Dan. So I added a couple dozen domains that I get consistent offers on.

They have not resulted in any sales to date.

I don't think there is any real difference in forwarding traffic to most of the venues like Dan, Sedo or Afternic, and I believe if a buyer really, really wants the domain, they'll find it.

One difference is that I believe linking straight to GoDaddy does help, as I tried that for a few months and made a lot of sales - I switched back because the 20% commission was really eating into the bottom line and I was hoping to keep sales up at Dan for only 9%.

It's worked to some extent and I've made some nice sales at Dan, but in December for example, I still sold more at GoDaddy (no traffic) than Dan (traffic) and my only 4-figure offers in January have been through GD. I think eventually I'll move everything to Domain.io to make use of their multi-vendor sales lander.

Some buyers just want to buy at GoDaddy and don't either trust or want to set up an account at Dan/Sedo, so I think giving these guys the choice directly on the lander could not only increase offers and sales, but also give your domain listing a slight bump in terms of trustworthiness.

Like it or not, GoDaddy is the gold standard.
