Selling a Domain

mantra · Feb 6, 2003

I would like to know if anyone has approached a company to sell their domain to.

If so, how have you approached the company (via email, phone, etc.)

Does anyone have a standard template email that they send out to companies??

Thank you.

Good question, as I have been asked on behalf of another dnforumer to go to a co to try and sell a domain for development.....has anyone done it before?

I have approached companies. My suggestion is to use email as opposed to mailing a letter or calling. Also, I would keep it very short - people hate it when they have too much info or details.

Now, if you contact a company and there is interest, then you can give more information/details.

Also, don't get discouraged if there is no response initially. You have to be patient.

If there is interest, companies will ask you to give a number first since you are contacting them.

My advice is be reasonable on the price. On the other hand, if someone comes to you unsolicited then you have much more flexibility in the price.

Hope that helps.

Thank you. Do you have any sample emails you can show us? I would like to follow a template example, rather than me typing up a bunch of words and trying to make it sound professional...
