Buy and sell domains before they hit expiry.
Browse verified deals, make offers, and take back control.
This is the domainer’s marketplace — and it’s now open.
This post breaks down how it works, who it's for, and what you need to do to get in.
💡 Why NameMaxi Market?
Domain investors currently acquire names via hand registartion, auctions, closeout. But options for selling to other domain investors are limited. Using Afternic or Atom to sell domains to other investors is not suitable due to a lack of discovery options and commission meant for end user sales.
There’s no real marketplace built for domainers - until now.
But what if you could:
- Pre Expiry: Get offers on names you no longer plan to renew?
- Liquidation: You could get solid offers on liquidation domains?
- Acquire Trends: You want to buy domains in a specific category, niche, or keyword - but can’t reach the owner?
- Broker Deals: Source premium names directly for clients?
NameMaxi Market was built exactly for this.
We’re not building for the end users. We’re building for domainers who want a clean, fast, investor-first platform to buy and sell directly.
For Sellers:
- Want to make some profit off domains you won't renew? - List the Expiring Names.
- Want to sell quickly? — Mark domains as Deals.
- Get Offers? — Add all your names and wait for offers from brokers or investors in that niche - gauge what is working and what is not from your own portfolio.
For Buyers:
- Want direct access to real investor listings? — Browse verified seller portfolios.
- Want high-signal leads? — Filter names marked as “Deals” or “Expiring” to find sellers open to quick offers.
- Losing names to closeouts or dropcatchers? — Snap up expiring domains before they hit public queues.
- Hunting for value? — Browse Liquid Categories on NameMaxi like 3L, 4N, and one-word domains with fair, investor-first pricing.
- Hate waiting on marketplaces? — Send an offer, get a checkout link, and close directly with the seller.
NameMaxi Market gives domainers what they’ve always needed: a clean, peer-to-peer marketplace focused on investor-only names.
🕵️ Who Can Access the NameMaxi Market?
The NameMaxi Market is exclusive to verified domain investors.
Fastest Route:
- Link your Afternic profile and verify 1 domain.

🔐 Onboarding: How To Get In
If you want to browse the wholesale listings or list names for sale in the NameMaxi Market, here’s what to do:
✅ Already Using NameMaxi Landers?
You're halfway there -
- Your names are already synced
- Claim your profile by logging in with the same credentials
- Add more domains you wish to sell on the market. Make sure to add at least 20 domains to unlock your Market access.

🤔 How Buyer-to-Seller Deals Work
This is a deal platform — not an escrow service.
We make it easy for you so there's no need to set any prices as a seller. Buyers can easily make an offer which the seller can choose to accept or reject.
Offer Rules:
→ Deals: Offers start at a $30 minimum for Domains marked as Deals to maintain profitability.
→ Expiring: Offers start at 10% of listed price
→ Other Listings: Offers for other Domains start from 30% of the Listed Price.
Sellers receive offers via email from NameMaxi. If interested, sellers can accept and reply with a checkout link. Buyer and seller handle everything directly - NameMaxi doesn’t touch the transaction (yet).
🤝 Exposure!
NameMaxi gives your domains instant exposure to other investors by showcasing them on various part of the NameMaxi Website and Daily Newsletter. So add all your domains to get the most visibility.
→ Appraisal Page Visibility
Every domain listed in the Market gets exposure on our Appraisal Page, viewed by 3,000+ investors/month. We match keywords, categories, and user searches — so your domains show up exactly when buyers are looking for them, boosting your chances of a sale.
→ Deals Section
Domains marked as “Deals” signal liquidation pricing. Offers start at $30 minimum, and many sellers are open to fast movement. This is where portfolios get trimmed, aged inventory gets priced to move, and buyers get real value.
→ Expiring Domains
We highlight names close to expiry — before they hit GoDaddy closeouts or dropcatch. Buyers can submit offers starting at 10% of list price. This is your shot to acquire names before the registrars do.
🔜 Upcoming Features (Coming Soon)
We’re not stopping here. These are under the works:
- Bulk portfolio listings
- Bulk deals
- Verified seller badges
- Featured drops
But right now? Get your 20+ domains verified and start listing for instant exposure.
🔄️ Conclusion
This isn’t just another marketplace.
NameMaxi Market is the domainer’s answer to bloated platforms and registrar-dominated auctions. If you’re tired of losing good names to closeout sales, or sitting on names no end user will buy — this is where the real deals happen.
