Domain Name Sold

Hello Everyone,

Has anyone sold any domain names and if so can you recommend a domain broker that you have done business with and was satisfied with their services. I will also compensate you for your recommendation.

If any domain sells from the broker you recommend I will pay you for your recommendation. Please PM me.

Thanks
Scherif

I have sold a few domains but never actually used an broker. I used an escrow service for the transfer so I was sure not to get burned.

Found this link maybe it can help you:

I've actually sold a few through eBay, so I guess you could consider them a broker. I put "Domain for sale" in the listing headline, along with the doman. Slap a reserve up, and you're good to go. Happy Holidays, DJ Dave aka HiFiWebGuy.com

I've sold thousands of them. I used to be one of the largest brokers on the Internet -- between 1995 and 2000.

If you're in no hurry to sell the name (i.e. you aren't desperate for cash, but you wouldn't mind selling it) then the best thing to do is put up a simple web page when someone types in the domain. Just say the name was registered for a project that fell-through and you are offering the name for sale.

The best way to get any 'action' for a domain sale is to come out and name a price. Everyone wants to say, "make me an offer" and all that does is get someone to offer you $200.

The first thing you need to consider is how much the name is worth to you and what you'd be happy selling it for. Then make that your price -- whether that number is $500 or $50,000.

If you're in "liquidation" mode and need some cash for it as quickly as possible, your best bet is what Dave is suggesting... put it up for sale on eBay. I've sold names for as much as $40,000 on eBay, but they were really good names.

Hope that helps.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you all for your input. I'm in no hurry to sell any of the domains. One domain I had appraised a few years ago was AutomotiveProducts.com it was appraised for 20,000. I have a few more, one I had appraised by Greatdomains for 15,000 they also sent me a certificate in the mail.

I will take the advice that you guys are offering and do some research on ebay and post domain for sale on the homepage with a price.

John I remember that you mentioned you sold domain names but I didn't know you sold that many. That must of been a great domain name to get 40,000.

Thank you
Scherif
