A) Domain auctions:

The resource for quality domains/website is 1000Bids:

It becomes convenient for buyers to recognize and acquire high-quality domains on 1000Bids auctions as the domains must receive an offer or qualify as premium domains before going to auctions. All auction bids are made through a proxy bidding system making bidding easier and less time-consuming. In order to be out from the crowd, auctions that are closing shortly and premium domains that are offered through our Brokerage Auctions are displayed on 1000Bids home page and on search results page.1000Bids does not charge any commission fee for buying domains on its marketplace.

In order to make bidding easier and less time consuming, all auction bids are made through a proxy bidding system. To ensure that you are the highest bidder, in this system of proxy bidding you submit your maximum bid and the system will automatically bid the lowest amount necessary. As soon as you are declared the winner, you pay only the lowest possible winning bid, which may not necessarily be your maximum bid. Please do visit the FAQ for further information on proxy bidding.

Never sell under value:

The procedure of 1000Bids auction is planned in such a way to assure a sale at a price which matches your domain’s true market value. As soon as an offer is received by you through 1000Bids marketplace, an auction may be in progress, which you then choose to accept as the reserve price. All the potential buyers will be able to compete and bid up the final sales price, as the Domains for auction will be displayed on 1000Bids’s home page and at the top of search result listings.

Sale of Domains/website through 1000Bid Auctions:

Sellers will have the option to start a Marketplace Auction through the domain's negotiation page within their account. Auctions can be started up to five days after a buyer has submitted an offer and close seven days after that offer was submitted. If your domain does not receive additional bids during the auction period the buyer's initial offer is still binding and wins the auction.

Premium domain/domain for brokerage auction:

After your domain qualifies you will work in association with a 1000Bids Broker to determine an optimal auction strategy and reserve price. In addition to this, your dedicated 1000Bids Broker will prepare for a successful auction by promoting the listing to potential buyers.

Tip 5: Price your Domain Name Appropriately:

Setting a fair asking price for your domain name is one of the top criteria in determining whether your domain will generate bids or not. Too often, sellers tend to over-price their domains, hoping to "cash" in - when in fact, it completely turns potential buyers off.

When putting up a web domain name for sale, it is critical to specify a valid asking price that reflects fair market value. Our experience shows that domains listed as "Make Offer" without a price specified seldom sell - as a result we do not offer it as a pricing option.

In order to maximize the revenue potential of your premium domain name, it is a good idea to order 1000BIDS domain name appraisal to determine the current market value of your domain.

Tip 6: Update your WHOIS Information for your Domain:

The ownership information of every web domain name is published in a public WHOIS database. You should have access to the WHOIS record for your domain through your registrar.

Be sure to update your WHOIS information to reflect the fact that your domain name is for sale. For example, you could update the "company" or "contact" information in the admin section of the domain to read "This domain is for sale at 1000bids.com.

D) Guidelines for buyers:

Keep it short. A long domain name may be descriptive of your business, but it will be harder to remember and type into a Web browser.
Put two words together. Combinations of short words often work well. For example, you could add "city" or "planet" as a second word to make it sound like your business includes a wide range of products or services.
Make it easy to spell. If the name is tricky to spell, people will enter your Web address wrong or you'll have to spell it for them whenever you mention it. Avoid using hyphens and dashes for that reason, too.
Use the .com or .net extensions. There are now many alternatives to using .com and .net extensions in your domain name, but avoid them if possible. The others −such as .us, .biz, .info, − are largely unfamiliar to people. If you confine your business to a specific country, go ahead and use the country's extension.
Think about keywords. If you want search engines to drive traffic to your Web site, be sure that your domain has one or more of your principal keywords to help you get a good ranking on those search terms.
