Country: | Sibername Premium Auction Back Sibername's premium domain auction looks to be started again. Had to dig to find where they actually listed them - with the complete tbr list. Suggestion for Sibername - list the user added premium domains on their own page and give a link from the main menus. I for one don't utilize that list - I just use the bulk order form. If I didn't know the auction was restarting I wouldn't have even bothered to look at that page. Something on the sibername.com homepage alerting visitors of the auctions could also help. ![]()

Country: | Yes, if they're going to let people submit domains for auctions, it should be on a separate page than the TBR. Or if on the same page, make two lists so the two groups of domains are clearly separated.

Country: | Looks like one or two domains have been removed. All that are left are mine. I set low reserves so I expect them all to go.

DNF$: 2,039 Location: Langley, BC | Nothing like letting everyone know ![]() I don't use that list either. I'd be pissed if I had domains in auction and they don't even bother to market for them. I'd pull them. |

Country: | Totally agree... They should consider doing something like Pool and send out a weekly email to their customer list and advertise the premiums for sale... I'm guessing they probably have alot of end-user customers (webhosting, etc..) |

Country: | I didn't get a notice about this one either, but isn't there still 7 days left? they might put one back as it gets closer to the end. It's nice to see Sibername at least make the effort to get something going, no other registrar seems to be.

Country: | We think that our TBR pages are a reference point for many TBR players and do not need a lot of marketing. Sending weekly emails is a good idea and we will implement that one too. I see some negative approaches to our efforts for auction implementation. Just to clarify, this is a service that we have implemented upon receiving your interest. Even though we do not expect any income out of that. So, may be that is the problem. You might thnk we spend al this time and efforts for the basic need of making profit. Clearly not. It is there wasting our time mostly for 2 years now. It is there because there seems like interest in it. We are asked to implement it. We do, and you find all kind of excuses not to put your domain there, Well, Sirs, this is more in your interest than ours to make it fly or die. We will give it a try for few more months and you will have to deal with other registrars of your choice with their rules, probably not open to your ideas as much as our system. It seems like i should stop reading some comments here because it is just negative; Bulent Turkoglu http://www.sibername.com |

Country: | Hey Bulent, I think we all want it to be a success and that may be why some are being so openly critical. In the end we would love to see it being an additional revenue stream for sibernane, as a success for you is also a success for us. I definitely appreciate the initiative that sibername has shown ![]() All the best, Jay

DNF$: 5,817 Location: You know, that really really hot place at the core of the planet | Hey Bulent...I agree with Jason....you have been more than open to try making this work. I am sure it has been a good deal of time and work. I also appreciate your efforts....

Country: | Dear Bulent, I really appreciate your efforts and agree that the negativity on here must frustrate you. But do know that i appreciate your efforts and am sure that many on here do as well. Keep the auction going even if you are not receiving direct profit from the auction i am sure that there will be a trickle down effect as more people become aware of sibername and reg their names and host with you. Respectfully, Christian. |

Country: | Keep up the good work, it's great that you are trying this auction process. You have to expect both positive and negative feedback though.

DNF$: 3,671 Location: Smallville.ca | When the first auction came up the prices were a wee bit inflated. Any sales yet ? Quote:
If you want my opinion on making this popular you can have it. I buy alot of domains, mostly from cold calls but I do hit TBR religiously and check in at the forums often. The one thing that turns me off this particular auction is that I know the prices are not reseller prices. They are for the most part end user pricing. Domainers dont usually buy domains at inflated prices unless they have proven traffic and revenue. And even then they wont pay more than its worth. It's just sensible business. If your prices continue to be high, you will need to somehow get the attention of end users, and that wont be easy. I love dot ca but I'll tell you for the prices some of us are paying (myself included) you can pick up some sweet .coms dropping daily. I'm not a fan of sibername bulent and I make no secret of it. Some of the guys here like your service and that's all good so welcome to the forum. Kevin
