I know what you mean, but I've been consistently expanding my domain portfolio, while trying to up the quality level, and it seems to have come to a head this month. My domain listings must have been published in Lowballer Weekly. :D
lol. I think that's available, maybe you should start it as a joke site.
 
The problem with this solution is that I list on multiple sales venues, so logistically speaking, only one can have a BIN or you'll be getting in all kinds of trouble. So if I put a $3500 price on Dan (and I have tried) buyers all run to GD and start lowballing there. Ask Esdiel about this tactic as he's run into it as well.

I was trying to find a happy medium by raising my min-bids across the board, while making sure Dan was the lowest, and it seemed to be working fine and it wasn't a big hassle or a time sink... right up until the last month or so where things have devolved quite significantly. It's almost like an arm's race between buyer and seller, with each constantly tweaking his strategy to keep up the with the other.

And I just need a break from the arm's race so I'm taking a month off. I think it will be an interesting experiment to see if the tire kickers and lowballers get the message, while the serious buyers stay serious.

I wonder what percentage of domains get sold where they buyer wouldn't have just visited the URL first to see if it was available? I really don't like using multiple platforms, so I don't really encounter that issue. I wonder how many more sales I'd get if I started listing on every platform out there - and if it would be worth the hassle of dealing with multiple platforms and the lowballers I feel those places attract?

The only other one (other than the marketplace you send the traffic) that even remotely matters is GoDaddy, but that's also the ancestral home of the lowballer.
