your reply sucks!

[Biggie]

i got a question:

what the hell is a "licensed domain broker"?

and if you knew anything about buying or selling domains, then you would not have even started this thread.


imo...

biggedon i wasn't asking for advice. i was pointing out the lame crap i get from some inexperienced sellers.

Everything described is the risk you take when you contact someone regarding domain names.

And, everything you described can effect each of us on the receiving and giving end.

I rarely argue points of domain valuation with the owner. Negotiating a price and arguing about value are two entirely different animals.

Claiming this is a noob or inexperienced domainer is questionable. If the respondent replies two appraisals, then give some credit to the person to even know what a domain name is let alone have gotten an appraisal.

This entire thread reminds me of the Sedo prompt where the person receiving the offer can indicate back via the prompt, Justify Your Asking Price.

Sedo should not even have that crap in there.

Here's a solution:

For $20k, hire a small private guerilla army. Nothing fancy, just a few ex-cons with machine guns and camo.

Next, find out the seller's home address. That should be easy; just do a Whois lookup.

Then instruct your men to surround his house as you calmly walk in through the front door. Tell him in the smoothest of voices you can muster that his house is surrounded by an elite task force, and that if he wants to survive the next 10 minutes, if not the next 10 years, he should hand over that ****Me.com domain name.

Grab yourself a glass of water as you wait for him to complete the transfer out formalities. Drum your fingers on the his work desk for added effect.

Once the formalities are done with, walk away slowly. At the exit, turn around slightly and say, "Thank you for your co-operation, Mr. (Insert Name Here). And by the way, here is a REAL appraisal for your domain" - and throw him a rolled up sheet of paper with a DNF logo on it.

There. Deal done, 5k saved.

A Licensed Domain Broker acts as an agent for a buyer or seller to negotiate a deal. The broker also complies with DNBA ethical standards and assists with dew diligence and transaction process.

Sadly there are some unethical domainers that give this industry a bad name. DNBA is being established to help clean it up.

I am curious what the name is I can think of a few names that might be worth quiete a bit like helpme.com swearwordme.com kissme.com hugme.com dateme.com etc maybe not 25k but still might get a good sale eventually

I remember a buyer wanting one of my domains, he got so frustrated with me in the negotiations, that he hired Sedo to broker the deal. This is where things went from bad to worse because I had to increase the price to allow for Sedo's commission.... Needless to say, the deal never went through.

If you are talking licensed, you better add insured and bonded to that.

A licensed broker should be exactly that...licensed in the state that they do business with their business license number posted.

But it does not start or stop there.

They need to be bonded and insured with that information provided and posted as well. The insurance and bond is to cover you in case they rip you off or steal your property.

If anyone knows of such an entity, please post. Doubtful you will find a "licensed" domain broker let alone one that is bonded and insured.

A Licensed Domain Broker

Licensed by who? what? where?

acts as an agent for a buyer or seller to negotiate a deal.

Acts is not a good word here anymore...we have had a round or two with members acting as a broker, or seller, or buyer.

Doc Com where are you going with all of your packed luggage? Relax with the pitch fork.

I know what the process entails to licenses brokers through an association. No one is making claims to being one.

Dude, perhaps you do or do not know all the ins and outs and legalities.

Lets say for one moment that many reading this dribble don't

Before you or any one else goes about dealing with a "licensed broker", there better be a clear cut definition and documentation to back that claim.

Otherwise, if you don't want comments then either close the thread to invitees only or somehow figure out a way or a system to get the answers you only like or agree with.

Just addressing (in your thread) the claim of a licensed broker.

My comment had nothing to do with anything in your siggy or what ever.

Accuse me of reading the thread but I was not attacking any one or anything.

Simply adding what, who, where is there such a thing as a licensed domain name broker.

To my knowledge, no such formal coursework exists, no curriculum exists, and no such certification or diploma or degree for licensed domain broker.

OMG, are you saying Patty Similien wasn't one? I am truly shocked.
