One inquiry on a .ca for me at the start of January, $1000 offer on core values (ca) through DomainEasy, seemed legit but buyer gone silent after I countered. Said they wanted it for a store that was going to sell products made locally, not sure where it is (if it exists).

Got a handful of SEO Spam messages through the DomainEasy offer form and my own form as well.

Slow start to the year. Stock market has a few jitters today which is a change.

inquiry from GoDaddy broker, negotiation is still ongoing.
 
It's been pretty bad and with Dan gone and all my domains at Afternic, I hold out no hope for the future.

I get lots of offers, but negotiations literally take forever and at Afternic, all you can do is just keep waiting. It's pretty well the definition of insanity.

Here is what you could do...

List on all services

Afternic
Saw
EasyDomain
SAV
DynaDot
NameSilo
Spaceship
etc.

Leave your name servers pointed to your own lander and ignore any request to purchase, eventually they come to the address in the address bar which is your lander.

So this way you can use every service to get the domain name out there but have the benefit of zero commission.

Most registrars make changing nameservers in bulk easy so all you have to do is bulk change them once per service to have the domains validated and then change them back to your landers.
 
I feel like this year I'll have to look at each renewal even more carefully than I have been, with renewal fees always going up and sales more intermittent. Ofcourse one or a few big sales could change that, and make me more likely to hold onto "inventory" type domains that are good but would realistically only sell in the $1500 to $3000 range. It's hard to decide though when you see domains sell on a weekly basis at prices much higher than you'd think, you just never know. For myself, I'm getting more to the point of holding a smaller portfolio of names I would renew no question, and keep it to that.
 
Sold one .com in early January for $1500...but for some reason I had a 10 month payment plan set up on it. Oh well 😌

Nothing since

I don't think WHC does, or at least they didn't, and that's always been my big problem.

Now I can always filter my domains, check them all, remove the checks from ones that not for sale/in use, and then update the nameservers, but I'd still like an area to 'copy and paste' mass amounts of domains to change the NS.

I have the list of domains that I want to change, but WHC makes it difficult.

Plus you get an individual email for every domain NS change... grrrr... - I understand why, but when you're changing hundreds (or even thousands) of domains back and forth for authorization, it can really blow up your email box.

On that note WHC-FM @FM is there any way to temporarily turn off the emails for nameserver changes?

I create a folder in gmail for whc which keeps the emails out of the inbox. Also in WHC you can specify how many domains to a page in the control panel and sort them as needed. I find it quick and painless to switch nameservers.

This is really a function of each person's workflow, and some of us do our real work elsewhere, whether that be various files, spreadsheets, etc... Then you go back to the registrar to make your changes on the specific lists of domains. Checking/unchecking domains in a browser is a horrible way to manage large portfolios. A cut-and-paste input is the best way for sure, that's why I have always stuck with bmetal @bmetal, they've always had that functionality as long as I can remember. Enom also always had great bulk tools as well.
 
We've tried to make bulk operations easy... this page also allows folks who are "contact" savy to change contacts in bulk. What this page doesn't currently support is setting up bulk redirects, but that can be done in other ways... Sorry if I'm sidetracking a thread, RLM tagged me, so I assume I was supposed to post.

Yes, I like the bulk contact changes, I can be a little ocd at times and it makes it easy to keep the contacts for all domains organized and in sync. And if they're not, a bulk change is super easy.

Yeah, I can see that might be a useful option for people, so an option under the "Bulk Domain Actions" page would seem the intuitive place to look first. But I know what you're getting at with other ways to do that - so maybe a quick tutorial on how to do that would be good to link to from the bulk domain actions page.

Folder or not, getting just under 1K in emails absolutely blows up my iPhone and with iOS 18.2.1 having severe email issues to begin with, this is not something I want to do over and over.
