Who is at Aftermarket.com / Domain.io ? (1.Viewing)

1. Integration with all the major marketplaces

2. Listed/Store option like at DAN

3. Quite customizable

4. If you sell at Aftermarket the commission is 10% (not through listing network)



So far this is one of the only options I have tried where you can list all your domains in a store type setup.
I have mixed feelings about that because if someone lands on a domain I want him to focus on that domain and not necessarily have them peruse all my others.

That feature can be switched on or off to ones liking.

They do allow me to link to my web address

You can contact the seller

This is what it looks like when you expand "Make an Offer"

The control panel automatically draws Registrar, expiry and other information without the need to enter it.

What the client sees when they make an offer.

The seller gets an email right away with the clients ip address and email address

Oh crap, that place integrated so nicely with sedo, afternic, etc.

Not good. That was one of the promising platform because of their integration with domain.io for back end.

Not looking good: Founder of Domain.io was fired.

A couple of things here...

1. Aftermarket.com was up for about a half hour or so this afternoon, I was in my account.

2. It always amazes me when the sell outs complain about being fired from the company they sold to. What do they expect? In reality there can only be one boss and eventually the seller clashes with the buyer. Frank Pavilonis should just exit gracefully, take the money and run. This is assuming he was paid out in full of course.

I remember when Lasslo from DAN.com posted a while back that he started a similar service for real estate, everyone ignored him and he flopped. Then he said he was coming back to domaining... well good luck with that only an idiot would use his service again.

I'm trying out a few market places but quite honestly I hold out the biggest hope for SAW.com, the ex guys from uniregistry will do it right. The front end is lacking some features but the back end is killer.

I'm test driving DomainEasy at the moment and it's slick looking but lacks any sort of functional back end when managing a large portfolio.

I have it down pat now, I can import a spread sheet and be up and running in most marketplaces in minutes so I like experimenting a bit.

Aftermarket really touched on managing the domain from a central location so you could attach and monitor it at a number of marketplaces. Aftermarket was unique and I hope it comes back. That said it is basically domain.io with a different name.
