LOL! It doesn't really matter whether your price is $6.01 or $7.99. Some people sell VERY WELL at $13.50.

I agree with nameslave, there are registrars like directnic that have over 750,000 domains under register and charge 15.00. Price is not everything

I agree most people won't care few dollars (or few cents) per year. So, I suggest you to focus on your customer service or partner with web host if you want to sell more.

Marketing is the key. Simply reach more target customers than everyone else, gain a good reputation and your price is pretty irrelevant.

so there is no difference whether or not you got an $6.95 or $8.95 reseller account.

No, that would be a big difference :-)

750,000 x $2....that's a a $1.5 million difference

at the same time, you could start with the $8.95 account and when you have enough momentum to support the down payment on the $6.95 account, then do so.

Yes, but it takes ALL eNom resellers (including big guys like RegisterFly, PowerPipe, NameCheap, etc.) to get to 1,519,951 ****** registrations (as of Q4 2002). I guess most smal-time resellers could barely get 0.1% out of that. Anyone?

I would guess that they get a much more sizable percentage than 0.1%...look at the numbers RegisterFly releases, I don't think PowerPipe is as big as RegisterFly or NameCheap and I can't comment on NameCheap's numbers....but my guess is that it's a lot less than 1.5 million between those three. I think there a number of other mid level resellers that get a big piece of the pie.
