Is it safe to list your names at afternic to sell? In other words do they still screw people over?

There is the old AfterNIC and the new AfterNIC. Much of the complaints heard is based on the old AfterNIC. They were shut down and someone bought the name and created the new AfterNIC. The new owner is no way affiliated with the old AfterNIC.I have not heard complaints about the new AfterNIC yet, but many people are not discussing them either. I don't know if that is good or bad.
So if you hear a story, find out if it's the old or new AfterNIC.

Do you believe people actualy look there to buy domains?
i would assume its rather resource consuming to check each listing daily.

Well one thing you can see that hasn't changed, new or old, is that they don't freshen up the listings. A quick search showed names listed for sale that have already expired and dropped and have new owners.

Actually people do go there to buy domains, the problem is they get lost in the thousands of listings. We have clients that that was the first place they went. However did not make a purchase because they were totally overwhelmed
Let us know if you have some ideas.

I sold a name via the NEW Afternic earlier this year. It was a pleasure. Customer service was prompt and top-notch. The whole transition was a breeze and payment was made immediately after the whois listing was in the new owner's name. Unfortunately, Afternic is now charging around $9.50/year for sellers to list at their site. Since they charge a commission when a name is sold, I can't see paying to simply 'list' with them.
