LOL @andrew yea. . . it’s not that bad.

@JG it’s actually pretty easy to find a specific domain with the search. I don’t see the problem there. I mean you can even link to the domain For example : https://www.snapnames.com/?aff=4343&dom=corporatejets.com goes to CorporteJets.com

The advantages of the system is definitely buyer-centered as Andrew points out. Sellers won’t benefit if their name isn’t found quickly, can’t be bought easily and let alone has to compete for attention with 4000 other domains, etc.

John, yes I saw that in the Craig’s comments and I’m glad to hear that it’s being worked on.

I agree we can and are improving the functionality of the site to make it easier for buyers to find the names they want.

Sellers are the ones that are primarily complaining about the functionality. Buyers work with the tools above and we are available to assist them. A lot of marketing has been done for this auction and end users and domainers are finding and buying the names they want.

There are close to 100 names with bids, a buyers online, and a large number of names on watch lists that will be purchased and bid on with multiple bids.

You will see that we are addressing the issues and will continue to improve on our results

“It’s not that bad as it is, and many of the big buyers actually like that some people are complaining about this and wont be bidding against them”

Exactly, so it’s bad for sellers who won’t get the maximum value for their domains.

I like Craig Calder. He knows the right people to talk to and is smart as a whip, as are all the people Oversee has working on this. Expect the best results soon and your prayers answered with this Snapnames/Moniker marriage.

And taking a tabloid stance, I see a new “handle” coming… like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s “Brangelina”… I predict a landslide of domainer popularity going the “SNAPMON” way by the end of summer.
