I don't think speaking on the phone is a bad idea, but if I were a prospective purchaser, I would see no need in speaking first. Its not a complex piece of machinery or something else with potential problems right? Just do a whois, make sure everything looks ok, and use an escrow service.

Based on my experience, the bigger companies will not spend large amounts of money without doing a their diligence.

If you are looking for bigger money (over 5,000) then you should probably contact companies directly. Do a thorough seach and find companies which you think might be interested. Then send them an email and follow up with a phone call. I don't know of anyone who would fork over thousands of dollars without speaking to the seller on the phone at least once.

If you are talking a fairly large sum (over $10,000+), it might be worth the investment gettting an attorney or broker involved.

Good luck,
Ryan

ReVigo - IMHO, seeing how much the brokers charge for their fees and commissions (at least the ones I've looked into) you'd have to get a pretty high price to make it very profitable.

Anybody able to get to the wodex.com site? I have been trying for two days now.

What about domain brokers? what do you think about them? although it is not free, you don't pay unless they sell so it is their interest to sell too. I personally am not sure, because i don't know if trusting someone i don't know like a domain broker as a 3rd party is wise, that's why i would rather do it alone and learn the secrets myself...
However i heard only good things about greatdomains.com, so i use them as brokers, maybe it'll work.

devstorm.com - The domains i got for sale are:
http://www.born2score.com
http://www.b2lf.com
http://www.b2goal.com
All those domains aren't developed websites, i just bought them in order to sell 'em.

Best Regards

Ted - I tend to agree with Devstorm that most domains are probably sold "privately" rather than bid on in public. Inspite of what some domain exchange sites say I suspect the majorty of sales, especially the big $$$ ones are private matters.

quote:IMO, it's a matter of opinion as to an unrealistic price. I agree when you see some prices as "$38,000" or something like that it seems ridiculous but unless the person is fudging their own auction someone did bid that much.

I hear about the multi-million dollar stuff (business.com, hell.com, etc.) but in the bidding forums I rarely see anything over a couple hundred bucks. Sure, asking prices sore in the millions, but actual bids? Its hard to find any bids at all (unless I just haven't found the forum yet where all this action is taking place) let alone a $38,000 bid.

BTW, I went to Wodex once and liked it, posted a couple names for sale, and now the site has been down for at least 24 hours so far, best I can tell.
