HOW TO: Sell an .au domain name to a retail buyer using Netfleet
Netfleet has two sales options, “Domain Catalogue” and “Auction“. The Catalogue takes longer in theory, to produce a sale but you only need one interested party to produce a high sale price. Buyers make an offer and you then have 7 days to; 1. counter-offer 2. accept their offer or 3. ignore their offer The Auction is faster as it has a sense of urgency but you need two interested parties in order to produce a high sale price. Under the proxy bidding , buyers only pay $1 more than the next highest bidder. This HOW-TO guide is how to [...]
Some figures on how the domain name aftermarket is faring.
As we say goodbye to summer, we wanted to share some figures on how the domain name aftermarket is faring, particularly on Netfleet. We’re happy to say that business is booming! In November, as you will know, we integrated our aftermarket domain auctions into our daily snapper auctions for expired domains. The rationale was that it seemed that the expired domain auctions were stealing the limelight when there were some great names being put up for sale by you, our members, that deserved more attention. We also made it completely free to add reserves if your name is at Netfleet [...]

Domain portfolio management simplified with folders
As a company focused on servicing the needs of domain name traders it it only fitting that we upgrade our Domain Management tools to help you manage large portfolios of domain names. So with this in mind we listened to your feedback on forums like dntrade.com.au and have added domain categorisation, or as we call it folders to help you organise your domains. Do you have more than 100 domains and wanted to find all the domains expiring in 90 days, that are using dns1.netfleet.com.au as a nameserver and have auto-renew set to off? Well this information is now just [...]
CreditReport.com.au tops the Standard Catalogue Listing sales
With the sale of CreditReport.com.au this month we now have a two way tie at the top of our Top Standard Catalogue Listing Sales between CreditReport.com.au and CurrencyConverter.com.au at $27,500 (xGST and Transfer costs). It is worth remembering that very few big sales ever get reported publicly so this is a rare opportunity for us to see the true retail value of a quality generic domain name. The domain sale was negotiated through Netfleet’s Standard Catalogue Listing process which is currently a totally free service offered to buyer and sellers of .au domain names. Once the sale price was agreed [...]

If you have not used this view before then be sure to check it out and see what you have been [...]
HomeLoanCalculator.com.au sells for $33,001
Today we saw the auction and subsequent snapping of the domain HomeLoanCalculator.com.au at Netfleet.com.au for $33,001 after it was allowed to expire by the previous owner. According to Google the exact search phrase “home loan calculator” is searched for in Australia 33,100 times a month. Meaning it sold for basically $1 for every monthly search, which looks like a fantastic deal when you consider that a click for this very competitive search term is worth about $5,65. It is worth remembering that with expired domains the buyer only had 24 hours to made a decision and to get involved so [...]
Creditcards.net.au sets a new .net.au record
Today saw the release of the premium generic keyword domain Creditcards.net.au. In a furious public auction today this domain reached the .net.au record setting price of $22,002, surpassing the recently announced sale of the closely related Creditcard.net.au which was sold late last year for $18,200. This is now the highest publicly recorded sale of a .net.au for a domain name only. Showing that for premium generic keyword domains a .net.au is still a domain worth owning. Netfleet was pleased to snap this domain for our client. It will be interesting to see what they do with this domain name as [...]
