Sold In 47 Minutes!
What’s your fastest domain sale? It’s probably been beaten by this one! Domain investor @boker told the community recently that he had hand registered a domain name, and put it up for sale on various marketplaces as usual.
Just 47 minutes after registering the domain, someone clicked the “Buy Now” button and bought the domain name for just under $1,000. That’s a great return on investment in less than an hour.

Why I Never Give a Time Limit to Interested Buyers
Michael Rader, founder of the brandable domain marketplace Brandroot, has shared an interesting discussion about time limits on offers, which was inspired by a recent conversation with a domain seller.
According to Michael, he doesn’t give a time limit on any counter offer he sends a potential buyer, and lists five reasons as to why he operates in this manner. It’s a great read.

Buying a Domain From an Owner Who Has Passed Away
An investor has asked the community for advice after attempting to acquire a domain name. As it happens, the domain’s owner has unfortunately passed away, and the registrar has no contact details for the owner’s relatives.
Is it unethical to attempt to buy a domain from the owner’s family in this situation? Should the investor pursue this purchase to give the owner’s family funds from a domain they likely knew little about? Have your say.
