that's around 1 deadbeat buyer a week. I've gotta wonder how many repeat deadbeats there are in that list.

Aren't there any more appealing domain names? This list just doesn't spark any interest.

she mentioned they are re-auctioning the oldest ones 5 at a time first working up to the newest ones

Jeez, I can understand why no one paid for those.

I was thinking that a few of them might be traffic domains, but all of them had a ZERO rating at ahrefs.

After looking at the selection for the next two weeks, I think WHC might want to think about increasing the number to 10 reauction domains a week, at least during periods where there are no premiums. The last thing you want is people just tuning out.

Hugh · Thursday at 10:37 AM

At least give us some attractive domains, otherwise who are we supposed to spend our budget on?

Exactly, and after a few weeks with no premium-level domains in sight, some people will start losing interest.

Personally, I would either increase the numbers if they're all low-end domains, or if you want to stick to 5 per week, ensure that there is at least one attractive/valuable domain every week. It doesn't have to be Deal or GPS, just something that will get eyeballs on the auction.

Quality or Quantity, pick one.

On that note, did all the other reauction domains from last week sell at auction?

I was looking up the WHOIS and only Deal, GPS and OXA seem to have updated.

MarineN · Thursday at 11:30 AM

Thanks for the feedback! As mentioned earlier, we're releasing the oldest domains first, so yes, the first few batches will likely be the least exciting ones. The quality will improve as we work through the inventory.

To answer your question: no, not all of last week's domains sold. The unsold ones should be going back into the queue for re-auction, but we're currently running into a bug on our end that's preventing us from re-listing them. We're actively working on the fix, and that's also why we're keeping the cadence at 5 per week for now. We want to get this resolved before scaling up.

Thanks for your patience while we sort this out!

Please consider this suggestion: instead of releasing domains for auction based purely on how long they've been in inventory, it would be great to see the weekly lists manually curated. Throwing in at least 1 or 2 solid names with actual value would be much better than just padding the list with filler domains that nobody wants to bid on.

WHC should let us submit domains into the weekly auction.

If the only inventory is deadbeat-buyer leftovers, the auction is always going to be hit or miss. Some weeks will have Deal.ca and GPS.ca, and some weeks will have names nobody even wants to click on.

Let members submit decent .ca domains, WHC curates them, takes a commission, and adds a few good ones to the weekly list.

If I want to liquidate a .ca domain, why not let me put it in front of the exact crowd already bidding on .ca auctions? No reserve, same $18 starting point.

Seems like an easy win. More inventory for WHC, better lists for buyers, liquidity for sellers, and a reason for people to keep checking the auction every week. Just don’t make it a dumping ground for junk. Curate it. Pick the good names. Take a cut. Everyone wins.
