Go Daddy Triples Auction Fees to 15%

"15% is high, but not extreme."

It's not 15% anymore as to my post right before yours.

I think 10% is good. I think all these places should just make it very simple. Flat rate, across the board.

What do the GD brokers charge when they contact you for a client who wants to buy one of your domains ?

Nothing. I sold them a name for $3,000 and that's what I got wired. Minus $35 wire fee of course.

I wonder whether they pass on the full offer of the client to the seller though ,or whether they play with the numbers ?. Tell you why, and I have altered these figures slightly, they first offer several hundred, then several thousand then more thousand ,the latter seemingly already in their hands.

My own, one-time, experience with GoDaddy broker service was when someone offered $100 for Unsaved.com.

I countered with $2,000 or offer (this was before the recession). Never heard from them again.

I could never figure out why anyone would spend $69 would max out at $100. I suppose it depends on the bidder.
