I'm sure everyone on here has gotten inquiries on their domains listed with afternic.
I'm lazy. I uploaded my list to afternic with min offer $250. I know for a fact many of these are actual endusers inexperienced with the value of domains and yes many are domainers looking for a deal.
I understand that Afternic doesn't "act" on inquiries unless they make an offer. It would be too much manhours to do so and with no guarantees.
So why doesn't afternic have their dev team simply have a question asked prior to someone inquiring?
Like "What are you?"
1.domain investor
2.enduser (do you want this domain for your business)
That way Afternic can go after all the "enduser" inquiries more agressively. Instead of waiting for an offer.
Lots of missed opportunities I think.
Because let's be honest. Many of us when an inquiry comes in on your $250 min domain. Quickly change it to min $2500 buy now $25,000 or even $250,000. Depending on the "chatter" online about the keywords in your domain and you suspect a whale has come knocking on your door.
So many times I asked afternic to just reach out to inquiries. But they simply won't. And I get it. It costs money to do so.
So my solution I think is a quick, and cheap solution.
