Please Change the Rule on Disclosing Domain/URL Being Sold

[moniker]

"'The complete / unedited domain name must be shown in the initial post and title so potential buyers are able to verify the name is the same name as indicated in stats.'"

I believe in some situations sellers have good reasons to be more private about their names and imposing this rule on people unnecessarily stifles commerce and prevents incremental win-win transactions from happening here. Both stats and the name can be provided to interested buyers via PM.

No way. Only people dumping junk domains have a problem with making it clear with they are selling.

We all remember the "ultra premium domain 4 sale" titles, then you open the thread to see lists of domains like "ebayrichbiz4u.biz".

H*ll no. It's impossible to browse which names are for sale if all the threads are titled "Super premium LLL names" (names actually for sale: qxx.tl zqo.biz s8q.net etc) and "Premium 1-word .com" (name actually for sale: spacefluxrotations.com).

This has been discussed ad nauseum here in the past. I agree completely with stian & JuniperPark. Most of us don't want to spend our day opening 100 useless threads just to find one decent name. If you don't want to have the name in the title, get an exclusive membership & list them in the exclusive names for sale.

I definitely see your point guys but it doesn't have to be all black or all white. There can be a sub-forum for domain sales with no domain in the title. Like I said there are some good reasons not to disclose it in the title or maybe even in the post. One of the most obvious reasons is sales of typo names.

There is already such a forum:

Besides, I think selling of typos and obvious TMs should be banned.

Upgrade to Exclusive, then you can take advantage of the subforum that doesn't have such a requirement.

For typo domains, DP sounds like the place
or Bido perhaps.

 

[DomainMagnate]

no way, domain in title is what I like about dnf, so you don't have to waste time by going to each thread with a "premium domain"

 

[silentg]

No way, I am not clicking through each sale threads on my mobile phone. It'll take me years.

if you are not disclosing the domain name in title or even in the post, that would make it easier to sell stolen names.


also, forum staff doesn't get involved in pm deals, so you'd have no recourse "if" there was a problem later.

Acro and Stian got it right.

Such a forum exists. Just to a more limited crowd. This is because not just anybody should be able to benefit from these more relaxed restrictions.

If you're really serious, you'll upgrade to an exclusive memberhsip.
