If you have a name that a knowledgeable domainer would rather have than 5K in cold hard cash, then send your name(s). There is no need to do any explaining, unless there is traffic or revenue that helps the value. It is real simple here. If I would rather have your name than 5K in cash, then I will trade you cash for the name. I may buy multiple names at 5K, and I may buy zero. I may buy the first day of this thread, and I may buy in three weeks. The better the name, the more likely the chance of a deal.
I will pay out 5K on my end. No extra for fees. No extra for Escrow. I guess I will pay a $25 fee if I wire you the money. If we agree to PayPal and I happen to send money that way, whatever you get is what you get. The bottom line is that if I do a deal I don't care how we go about doing it (within reason).
In general, I prefer Go-Daddy. I almost certainly will buy a dotcom. If you send something other than dotcom, it really needs to stand out. I will obviously go with the best deal(s), so expect no response. However, I may respond to some that I am not interested in, so don't get too excited if you see a PM. There may be close calls that I do not respond to. So, don't be offended by "crickets". And if the name is a close call, but not quite a 5K name, I may offer a lower price. You can hold firm and risk losing the sale, or you can negotiate.
Do you want to do some deals, or is this just going to be a place where people try to rob others with asking prices that they would NEVER pay anywhere near if they were buying the name themselves? It doesn't matter to me. I have lots of business opportunities. Are there any examples of seasoned or well known domainers ever selling a name to someone on a forum where the buyer gets a good deal, or is the domaining world just scam central where people overvalue their names and think that the highest offer they ever got during the good times means that they can never sell it for less that that out of date offer? Anyone who mentions that they received a higher offer before will not be taken seriously. Unless you think that domains are the only asset in world history that have never gone down in value, then keep that nonsense to yourself.
If you mention Estibot, or appraisals of any kind, you will be kicked off the island and your friends and family will abandon you. Don't mention Google searches. The only info I need is traffic and revenue, if it applies to the name, and it better be type in traffic, or I am likely not interested.
Catch me now while I am in a buying mood. I can get discouraged pretty quickly when it comes to forums, so you need to strike now while there is a potential buyer who is looking for deals.
Send the good stuff, not the cream of mushroom soup. That's what I used to do when I was in grade school when we had to donate food during a food drive. I went right to the back of the cupboard, of course passing up the chicken noodle that I loved, and picked the soup I never ate....and donated it. That is what most domainers do, and that is called being a lowlife and a loser. I changed my ways, and now I know how the world works. You have to offer a product or service that you yourself would actually buy at that price. It is very simple. That is what winners do. So, send only the chicken noodle soup.
And if you are feeling pain when you sell the name for 5K, then you know the deal is fair, because you gave up something of value. You can send more than one name if you like, but no spaghetti tossing. You know what constitutes a good name.
