Both GoDaddy Auctions and NameJet could make small changes that drive more bidding.
I’ve acquired roughly 200 expired domain names this year. Most of these have been on the lower end, pricewise. I’d bid more on auctions, especially the higher-end ones, if the expired domain marketplaces made a couple of simple changes.
I’d bid more at GoDaddy if… the site let you bulk upload to a watchlist. Currently, you have to search for each domain individually and then click the watch icon to add it to your list.
I add domains to my watchlist at GoDaddy so that they show up in the app. Then I get an alert when the auction is ending so that I can place my bid.
But because the process of adding domains is so laborious, I only add a fraction of what I would otherwise.
GoDaddy should add a “bulk add to watchlist” feature that’s as easy as bulk backordering at NameJet.
I’d bid more at NameJet if… its app alerts worked. They don’t, and that means I miss the end of most domain auctions. It’s frustrating, and I end up usually not bothering with NameJet because of this.
I second, but first lets have a watchlist on namejet. You can watch public auctions but not pre-release.

I have been requesting this feature for many years.
It is too much effort to manually add a list of domains, especially when the odds of winning anything are so low with marginal domains going for stupid prices.
You also have the auction games still going on. There are endless examples of the final bid price not being the actual price paid, when all the non-paying bidders are removed.

i miss the good ol days when playing the daily drops was fun…
pool/sn … 2004-2008 … survival of the fittest 🙂
I wish GoDaddy app is like Dynadot app where you can sift through the domains and add to watch list.
Does Namejet has an android app? Can you please share the name?
