OnlineDomain.com Domain Name News & Opinions
The Squadhelp Ultra-Premium Marketplace is now live.
Squadhelp partnered with Hilco Digital Assets and Andrew Miller to curate a premium collection of domain names.
Squadhelp invites people to submit their single-English word and category-defining domains to the marketplace.
The marketplace has 116 domains listed today ranging from $75,000 up to $6 million.
The first sale on the Ultra Premium Marketplace was the domain Plans.com that sold for $275,000.
Squadhelp shared some details about the sale:
- Sold within 7 days of listing
- Buyer likely discovered it via SH search & discovery tools as name servers were not yet pointed to SH
- BIN price sale ($275K)
A step in the right direction, but here is the problem:
Nobody is putting a $6 Million domain in the cart and going to check out.
NOBODY!
Without a way to begin a dialogue, to get to a bona fide offer, it’s all meaningless.
Nobody buys things at $100k -$6 Million and above without a conversation and some horse-trading.
A “Contact Owner” link might help fix it.
I agree. I guess it is more like a showcase of premium domains.
Not sure what the terms of brokerage and exclusivity are here.
Some of the plural domains are odd sounding…
Squadhelp is a highly-welcome platform. But the Squadhelp name itself is hard-to-remember & hugely inferior. Can the wider public understand Great Brandable Names! when Squadhelp.com seems to ignore their own brand identity? Would you purchase expert financial advice from a ragged poor person? (Sorry –my mind associates Squadhelp with squid). Their brand recognition upgrade would benefit all domaining. A short, memorable descriptive name such as abcBrand.com or Brandsy will better position their expertise.
I agree wi the you until I read your last sentence.
Seeing them primarily as a branding platform, a descriptive name would thus be “If you think BRAND, think … (Brandsy)” I wonder Ruban what name you’d suggest for them?
