Why Bargain Hunters Are Beating a Path to Mike Sullivan's New NotRenewing.com Sales Platform for Expiring Domains

In our last post (about Notify.Domains) we told you about a new platform that can help you acquire specific domains, as well help you protect the ones you already have. Today, on the flip side of that coin, we want to let you know about another new service that can help you get some money back on domains you don't want any more. 

Like Michael Cyger's Notify.Domains, NotRenewing.com comes from an industry veteran - in this case, Mike Sullivan, who, like Cyger, was looking for a solution to a problem that has vexed practically all professional domain investors since the business began. That is how to take some of the pain out of dropping domains you've given up on selling. When they go they take most, if not all, of the money you invested down the drain with them.

Mike, who has been writing a popular domain industry blog - Sullys Blog - since 1997 (30 years as of next January), finally had enough and came up with the idea for NotRenewing.com

Founder, NotRenewing.com

that just launched in March. It is a fixed-price sales platform for expiring domains. To keep things simple every name is priced buy it now at $99. I'm no mathematician but that looks way better than $0 to me. The best part for sellers is it costs nothing to list up to 25 domains and if any do sell, you get $90 for each one. The only rule for standard listings is that the domain has to be at least 24 months old and expiring within 12 months. There also very affordable premium plans that allow you to list younger names and far more domains than the free level.

So, who is going to want domains that even you don't think is worth the renewal fee? You know what they say - one man's trash is another man's treasure and NotRenewing,com already has a lot of sales to prove it (dozens have sold this week alone and some examples of recent sales are in the screenshot below). 

Had I seen that SpiceOdyssey.com listing at $99, I would have bought it immediately myself (I see it has now been relisted for $3,999 elsewhere). Given how much investors love to scan expiring domain lists, NotRenewing.com will attract a steady stream of bargain hunters, especially since the platform gives you a shot at picking up reasonably priced names before they end up in the expired auction stream where a lot more competitors will see them. It's a win-win proposition for buyers and sellers alike. 

The site currently supports 17 TLDs: .com, .net, .org, .io, .ai, .co, .dev, .app, .xyz, .me, .cc, .tv, .info, .biz, .us, .gg, and .sh. You can check out the full Frequently Asked Questions page here
