Topic: bet.io domain for sale (Read 585 times)
domain has sold on dan.com. closing thread.
Yes I have already moved over to dan.com / sedo and will do the sale there. I'm done trying to justify the price here. There are plenty of examples of IO domains in the 60-70K range and thats where I value this domain.
Thats a very nice domain name and I wish I could afford it! As noted maybe you will get better results if you move it.
Bet.io is a nice domain but here's the thing. People base their Domain value at a price that is typically close to what online evaluators appraise such domains.
For this one, the max I found was from GoDaddy which appraised it at $11,000 and the least credible evaluation was from pc.domains which evaluated it at $1100
So you asking for a minimum of 7 BTC is you just clowning around and nothing more. I think you'll be lucky to get $10,000 to be honest.

OK in the effort to be transparent I can tell you what happened. I had 2 offers over 7BTC. One at 7.1BTC which I was 70% confident was genuine and would go though and another at 7.3BTC which was a last minute offer and I had low confidence in. It quickly became obvious the 7.3BTC was a piss take and so I believed I had the 7.1BTC offer to fall back on. So it turned out that the 7.1BTC offer was from an employee in a company who thought it was a good idea to buy the domain but when it came time for the management to sign off on it they had changed their minds which was a surprise for me as I had been promised it was a done deal. So then I have no more offers over 7BTC. I have other offers under 6BTC. So 2 reasons I dropped the price to 6.5BTC. I want to try and get the people who are offering under 6BTC to increase the offer a bit and with the USD price change in BTC it only seems reasonable to drop the price a bit. I agree I could have run the auction better but I have nothing to hide. I am just trying to get a decent price for the domain. For anyone that now wants to offer you can make an offer on dan.com and soon on sedo. We'll go with the more traditional way of selling premium domains and we can pay the extra charges involved in it. Cheers.
OK, name names.
People who fail to follow through with their bids are usually slapped with negative trust, so if you would be so kind as to provide some names, perhaps some screen shots as well given the actual bids don't seem to be in the auction thread, that would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Definitely sus. Timelord has already posted in the other thread asking where did the bids come from.
And the first few positive posts from the OP came from Newbie accounts.

When I posted I hadn't noticed the start date of that other thread, otherwise I would have mentioned it in my post. Fortunately I know in the auction board you can't modify or delete your posts, so it's inprobable that anyone bid, then withdrew their bids (as far fetched as they were)

Its back on the market and starting price has been reduced to 6.5BTC. Cheers
This auction is very absurd, you say if the previous bid has reached 7.3 BTC, it should, if this is an auction, bidder 7.3 is the one who has the right to the domain you are selling.
In fact, at this point, you are saying that the auction is re-opening at a lower price. Who is bidding your domain on the price of 7.3 BTC? is it the fictional bidder you created to raise the auction price for this domain? I think, no matter what price you lower the future, no one will believe to do this domain auction. Maybe you can sell this domain only at maximum $30 because of your fault.
OP must be having an imaginary bid on his domain. it's clear the OP is hyping the price for his domain expecting someone would fall for it. it true that the domain name is good but I doubt it's price would reach that high.

Yea already put up an auction there but I prefer to settle in BTC anyway.
Good luck with your sale.If people here have suggestions on how to monetise then please feel free to PM me or reply here. Tks
How about contacting some casinos with this desired domain and allow them to use it and have a share with their profit, is that possible?
What does bit.io bring to the table that bet.com bet.org bet.news bet.music or any other top level domain extension are lacking? Regardless of the location of the hosting?
I think it is a lot of money for only a domain name with IO. If you would have a good domain name with BET in it, you could make much more. I do not think bet.io is so popular.
Bet.com would be a different story.
Bet.com would be a different story.
Bet.com would be many millions so it’s all relative.

Sorry to say that, but this is not how things works, you are posting bids coming from outside btctalk, where at very least, somebody should have created a new account to post his offer, or even better, only sr members at minimum could bid.
I totally agree with you. This is my first time selling a domain here and I guess it shows. Thats why I am going to probably list it on a premium domain site as this is not the correct place for this when it comes to high value domains. The 2 bids I got came though email instead of them posting here.
Ok, just an advice: btctalk is perfectly ok to sell high value domains, but you should take account of the extra steps to guarantee security, for example using escrow. As there won't be a chargeback risk like other platforms with credit card payment, you get a lower final price. Basically as BTC or other cryptos are better than credit cards or paypal for the sellers, they generally are ok with a lower final price.
Yea for sure we are going to use escrow. I might be a newbie but I'm not an idiot! Yes crypto is the preferred payment method. I don't want the payment in fiat as I'll just be buying crypto with it again. Yea I am open to offers on the price. I might have set my expectations a bit high but it won't be sold cheap either. I'll look for other means to monetize the domain if I have to. Cheers.
