In May I wrote about how GoDaddy continues to send unsolicited offers<\/strong><\/a> for domains that are listed for sale on other marketplaces, with a BIN.<\/p>\n

What’s the catch?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For $69 dollars, GoDaddy brokers reach out to anyone with a domain. If a GoDaddy customer is hoping that the brokers there will perform some kind of magic, they are either fools or seriously uninformed about the process.<\/p>\n

If the domain has no price associated with its lander, that’s one thing. If it’s listed for sale with either a minimum offer price, or a BIN, that’s when such queries that don’t meet the pricing criteria become 100% spammy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In January, I wrote about this spamful approach by GoDaddy<\/strong><\/a>, and today’s 3rd installment touches on the subject of how GoDaddy continues to spam domain owners with unsolicited offers – using their client as an excuse.<\/p>\n

An email I received quotes the existence of a BIN price for one of my domains, adding that they are aware<\/strong> of the listing price.<\/p>\n

Two things are added to this recipe for disaster: asking for price flexibility, and stating that their customer was pushy<\/strong> about placing an offer substantially lower and despite their advice not to do so!<\/p>\n

I’ve seen some pretty strong bullshit<\/strong> in my 20 years in the domain industry, and this wins GoDaddy a Big Turd<\/strong> award.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

What kind of domain agent or broker collects $69 dollars to do nothing benefiting their customer? Are they dealing with imbeciles<\/strong> as customers, or are they playing dumb<\/strong> just to rack up the $69 dollar fee?<\/p>\n

I seriously don’t believe that someone who used GoDaddy in the first place, paying $69 dollars to acquire a domain through their service, would go against an agent’s advice not to place a lowball offer!<\/p>\n

We are talking about tens of thousands of dollars<\/strong> in difference, not even in the same class range.<\/p>\n

No, this isn’t a dumb customer ignoring advice from GoDaddy, thus willing to lose $69 from the moment the offer is made. This is clearly, in my educated opinion, a new scheme by GoDaddy to continue pestering domain owners<\/strong>, while putting the blame on some poor, uneducated customer who – supposedly<\/em> – desperately wants to make a lowball offer anyway.<\/p>\n

Seriously GoDaddy, the Big Turd trophy is a new low in the domain industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
