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. Let’s get to it.
💡 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:
- Pre Expiry: You could get deals on your unwanted names you don't plan to renew?
- Liquidation: You could get solid offers on liquidation domains?
- Trend Acquire: You want to buy domains in a specific category or keyword - but can’t reach the owner?
- Brokering: You’re a broker sourcing premium names for a client?
NameMaxi Market was built to implement that.
We’re not here to cater to the masses - we're building a clean, fast, and investor-first deal platform where real domainers buy and sell directly.
For Sellers:
- List domains you won’t renew — and still extract value before expiry.
- Mark names for liquidation — move inventory fast to other verified domainers.
- Wait for Offers — Add your names and they might get offers from brokers or investors wanting to build a portfolio in that niche.
For Buyers:
- Exclusive access to real investor inventory — verified sellers only, no junk listings. No need to go through market places to make offers or start a negotiation.
- High-signal listings — Rather than blindly sending Offers, see whihc sellers are ready to consider offers via Domains that are marked as Deals or are going to expire or expired.
- Find expiring domains — beat closeouts and drop catch queues.
- Filter by Liquid Domains which are domains belonging in NameMaix Category like 3L, 4N, and more. These domains are easily to deal on as they have a fair price established.
- Reach real investors directly — make offers, close fast.
The NameMaxi Market gives domainers what they’ve always needed:
A clean, no-BS, investor-to-investor marketplace built for speed, control, and serious names.
🕵️ Who Can Access the NameMaxi Market?
The NameMaxi Market is exclusive to domain investors.
To access the marketplace, link your Afternic profile and verify ownership of at least 1 domain. Once verified, your portfolio will sync and you’ll gain full access.
Don’t use Afternic? You can still join by verifying 20 domains manually. This ensures that only serious investors are part of the ecosystem.
Once verified, you will unlock your Market and get exclusive access to:
- Browse listings and Make Direct Offers to other Sellers:
- Names in Liquid Categories (4L, 3L, one-word etc)
- Other investor’s portfolio
- Expiring/Pre-expired Domains: soon to be gone unless renewed - Make offers so yuo can get them before they hit auctions or drop catch.
- Deals: Domains that are for liquidation, available at wholesale prices
- Mark your own domains as “Deals": get some returns on domains you don't plan on renewing.
- Get buyer inquiries via email
- Accept/Reject offers
- Provide checkout links
- Manage listings in bulk
🔐 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 domains are already synced to the marketplace.
- Just claim your profile (log in to Market with the same credentials).
- Verify 20 domains from your dashboard (using NS or TXT).
- Once verified, your dashboard and Market access unlocks.
Reminder: Marketplace domains and Lander domains are not the same. You can add domains into Market and still use Afternic Landers so add your entire portfolio in Market for best results.

🤔 How Buyer-to-Seller Deals Work
We aren't an escrow-based marketplace. NameMaxi is a deal-making platform for serious investors.
We make it easy for you to not need to set any prices as a seller and we make it easy for you as a buyer to make an offer which the seller can choose to accept or reject.
→ Deals: Offers start at a $30 minimum for Domains marked as Deals to maintain profitability.
→ Expiring: Offers start at 10% of listed price for Expiring names
→ Broker: Offers for other Domains start from 30% of the Listed Price.
Sellers receive buyer offers via email (sent by NameMaxi). If interested, sellers can accept and reply with an Afternic 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
NameMaxi pulls in names nearing expiry — before they hit GoDaddy closeouts or drop catch platforms. Buyers can make offers at a minimum of 10% of the listed price for expiring names.
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:

But the key now? Get your 20+ domains verified and listed.
