Thank you for your comments.
It was a really great deal at $3,000 and I did realize a nice profit. Keep in mind it was $3,000 net. If it sold through a brokerage house, that may have equated to a $3,300 - $3,600 sale price, after commissions.
Some businesses offer trade discounts, in some cases 40% or so. I like to have the opportunity to work with fellow domainers. If I can offer excellent deals to a resellers and still make a nice profit, I can create a larger customer base.
Everyone has their own motivations and strategies. I like to move product, develop relationships and to make people happy. The less emotionally attached I am to any of my domain names in my portfolio, the better. There are always opportunities to find new opportunities and to capitalize on them.
I very much like to have special promotions at trade shows. I sold ElectronicCigarette (tv) at the last Traffic show in Vegas (I wasn't able to attend the show in Miami as I had a previous commitment in Paris). I want domainers to know that they too can profit from the domain names in my portfolio.
If you are a domainer and you see a domain name, in my portfolio, which you would like to have, reach out and let me know that you are a reseller. I will always do my best to accommodate you
