They have a cumbersome listing process, small audience, and their domain lists are full of junk. DP Forum has a nice new auction feature in the Domains sections. Creating an auction is a snap and they bump your sale to the top of the forum during the last hour. Bido is not worth the effort either buying or selling.

They offer very little for great domains. And, most domains at auction are garbage. Someone needs to come up with a site that can sell to all countries and charge if sold. Most places charge $10-$40 but the domain sells for $10...you just lost $30. They (sites) should charge more when you sell the domain and list it for free. I would pay 25% when my domain gets sold!!!

I had an offer of $6500 for that lll .com about a year or so ago, but it seems the market is a bit down for some of the three letter dot com names.

I sent about 200 domains their way in the last week. 20 voted for and completed auctions so far, only 1 sale. To be fair, this was my junk, but the interesting thing is that the voting is detached from the sales side, because of the voting reward system - voting earnings are not aligned to your own desire to buy the domain. I think in time Bido will be a great platform - they do listen :-) I agree with your Bido view.

Noticed that ***.com already had a $4500 bid and that ***.org currently has 14 bidders - very nice. Was wondering if you did any other promotion for the auctions (other than this blog post) or if you think most the bids are coming from Snapnames natural audience? [Editors Note: In the interest of protecting the privacy of the buyer, I have removed details regarding specific domains after the completion of the sales. The lll.com sold for $4600. I don't remember the price for the lll.org but it was over $100] Best of luck with the auctions.

Regarding the cybersquatter question, a cybersquatter is someone who registers a name that infringes on the TRADEMARK of another company. For example, if he registered microsofts.com then he could be labeled a cybersquatter. The fact that he registered a generic name like five.com many years ago means that he saw value in a domain name when others did not, which makes him smart and not a cybersquatter. Hi Ginette,

What do you think this fella will do with this Website? Any suggestions in trying to obtain it? Do you think he is a cyberquatter? Many thanks for any help here.
