Concourson Ask HN: How to Sell This Premium Domain Name

Alright, sir. For what it's worth, Godaddy Broker has contacted me in the past to buy this domain name for a client. The same Godaddy that has appraised it at $3,000+ USD. I declined at the time because I was still planning to use it. Furthermore, you would be surprised if you scrolled through the domain name broker sites (even the Godaddy one).

$200 will unfortunately not help me bootstrap anything. Your tone was rude, sir, not sharp. You are telling me what to do or not do with my own free time!

And let me quote your suggested price: "Fair price? $0." Yes: $0.

"Best approach? Let it expire and cease to spend time worrying about it. You can find better uses for your time."

That's not sharp, sir, that's rude and of no help. Thank you for taking the time to share your views sir.

Thanks for your insights, Sir. Many people are using "Printive" indeed (not only the folks at printive.net). I was surprised to see what people are willing to pay or have paid to secure some domain names while scrolling through the Godaddy broker site.

> If you can't even put the effort into writing a message then I'd suggest you let the domain expire

I can put the effort to answer the message, but his answer was of no help and quite frustrating, it was my way to let him know that! There's a reason I disclosed that it was AI generated (maybe not the best approach)!

Concourson Ask HN: How to Sell This Premium Domain Name

I appreciate your input. I understand that Godaddy has an algorithm for evaluating domain names, and I'm willing to consider their appraisal price. Thank you

PS: What would you consider a fair price if you were in the printing industry ?

Concourson Ask HN: How to Sell This Premium Domain Name

Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your insights into the domain name market.

I disagree with your assessment of the domain name market. I believe that there is a legitimate market for domain names, and that it is possible to sell domain names for a fair price. However, I agree that it can be difficult to find a buyer willing to pay a fair price, especially for domain names that are not in high demand.

I don't think it's fair to say that the domain name market is a "propaganda technique". There are legitimate businesses that buy and sell domain names (just like cars, oldtimer, etc... ), and there are people who make money from domain names. However, I do agree that it is important to be realistic about the market, and to not expect to make a lot of money from domain names.

I'm still considering my options for the domain name. I'm not sure if I'm going to let it expire or try to sell it. I'll keep your feedback in mind as I make my decision.

Thanks again for your input.

I appreciate your insights. I hadn't considered the AML (anti-money-laundering) implications before, but I will keep that in mind moving forward. Thank you

Like spystath menrionned, all journals have an RSS Feeds stream or more, so I use RSS Feeds with my webapplication https://www.feedsapi.org/ to receive curated alerts in realtime (many of our users have this as use-case as well).

You can also use the rss feeds with a service like IFTTT or Zapier to set up an alert system.

Concourson Ask HN: Is RSS still worth the time?

Oh well, I heard you and you should check what we do. It looks like this:http://www.feedsapi.com will make your life with RSS nicer and should improve your user experience with RSS. Here are some of the things you can do: Turn those shortened rss feeds into full Text rss feeds, curate your feeds with keywords tomonly get what you really care about, curate your feeds with a more complex filter structure using RegEx, get your feeds items to be delivered everywhere in any format (htmk, txt, pdf, word...) and in full lenght ! 50 sites is a lot... And you may not need to read all of those feeds items so curation makes sense in this specific case.

I hope this helps.

Concourson Ask HN: Does a 60 Day Free Trial Ever Boost Signups?

Thanks a bunch for your help Do , we're using strategy (B) + "30 Day Money Back Guarantee" and I was wondering if a "60 Day free trial" (from 14 Day Free Trial) would bring some change but it seems like I should look for something else to optimize, I'm trying to hit a conversion rate of 5% for site visitors (targeted traffic) .

Concourson Ask HN: Does a 60 Day Free Trial Ever Boost Signups?

I use both right now, 14 Day free trial and "30 Day Money Back Guarantee", I'm looking for a way to increase my "Visitors to Trial" conversion rate, it's below 5% at the moment and I'd love to bring it to 5%+ . I think I can keep myTrial to Paid signups conversion rate high, so the first place to optimize is the number of people signing up for the trial the trial.
