At first glance I thought the Bido changes might be a little complicated. After reviewing and using the system I now find it to be quite interesting and easy to use. The changes are encouraging higher priced listings to appear. Someone needs to tell the buyers! Mike Dew - HeadlineDomains.com Wanted to comment about Bido becoming to complicated!

Our auction inventory is in-demand inventory and for those who wish to not waste their time, we suggest to focus on the Upcoming tab and the EndingSoon tab. We know of many of our buyers do just that. Best, Sahar Hello,

Domains in BidoPrice tab aren’t in auction, they are in consideration for an auction. Our auction inventory is in-demand inventory and for those who wish to not waste their time, we suggest to focus on the Upcoming tab and the EndingSoon tab. We know of many of our buyers do just that.

I actually believe that letting everyone submit their own pricing is the real problem with every auction platform. There are no real true auctions for secondary names (except for the drops), mostly classifeds in the guise of auctions (not picking on Bido- this applies to them all, including live auctions). Domain auctions need less seller input, and more from knowledgeable professionals to set up a real competitive bidding environment. Again, thank you for commenting directly. I'm really not trying to put down Bido, but I'm not very satisfied with the various auction platforms out there, and I expect that many others feel the same way I do.

Or does this change only make it possible to increase the price? Jarred, can you also offer domains for less than $28? Or does this change only make it possible to increase the price?

They were pre-screened by the voters for probability of the item to sell based on the item itself in relation to it's BidoPrice. For what you are interested in, I advise not to focus on the BidoPrice tab where voting happens, and the large list of inventory resides. I advise only focus on the Upcoming Auctions data, as that's been thinned down already to save you time wading through an excessively large list of "noise". We have two files of upcoming inventory: Without "adult" items: http://www.bido.com/UpcomingAuctionsCSV and with "adult" items http://www.bido.com/UpcomingAuctionsCSV?adult=1 I think if you integrate with those files you may find that the voters in Bido community did the work to locate items of value and interest to the bidders. The data is also accessible over our website in the "Upcoming" tab. Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to explain these things, I hope they illuminate things that much more.

Better and fewer names posted at no reserve are what I'd like to see. Too much noise - I already get that at every other auction platform, and unfortunately I can't use the system.
