In this week's Top Topics, domain investors share the three domains they'd most like to own and is it possible to sell domains without a phone call? Also, a domainer asks for advice on a $5,000 offer, and we discuss the $3.15 million sale of Christmas.com.
Which 3 Domains Would You Like to Own?
No matter how good your portfolio might be, there are always domain names you wish you owned. That might be for personal reasons, professional reasons, or simply for bragging rights.
In this discussion, domain investors are invited to share three domain names they would love to own. As of writing, all responses are .COM domains, with the short names and financial names seemingly most popular.

Is It Possible to Sell a Domain Without a Phone Call?
Are you at a disadvantage selling domain names if you're too shy to pick up the phone and make some calls? The traditional selling method you have in mind might be a Wolf of Wall Street-esque cold calling trading floor, but does that apply to domain names?
Here, an investor is asking whether selling a domain without a phone call is possible. As it happens, domainers seem to think that it is not only possible, but typical. What's your experience?

What Should I Do After This Offer?
This domain investor recently received a $5,000 offer for a .ES domain, the ccTLD for Spain. The name, revealed in the discussion, is a trending term at the moment, so is a $5,000 offer acceptable? The owner wasn't sure, so they threw the decision out to the community.
What would you do if you received this offer? Would you counter, push it to auction, or accept it? The poll attached to this discussion seems to suggest most investors would counter with a five-figure asking price.

Brokered by VIP Brokerage, Christmas.com was acquired by Gordon Companies Inc after the buyer exercised the purchase option after a four-year lease-to-own agreement.
