Hey NP,
I sent out some emails yesterday afternoon to potential end users for one of my domains. One of the replies was "thanks for your email. That URL isn't the right fit for my brand, but give me a shout if you have ExactMatch.com". Currently they are using the .co.uk version of the domain and are interested in purchasing the .com, which I found is for sale through a Uniregistry lander.
So far I haven't responded to the end user/buyer yet or reached out to the owner of the domain they want to acquire. I'm trying to determine the best way to proceed. I can see two clear options, first I can offer to broker a deal between the buyer and seller. It's possible the buyer is unaware that the domain they want is for sale, or they have already tried to purchase it and were unsuccessful. There's also the risk of the buyer going straight to seller to try and purchase the domain once I offer to act as the broker for a flat fee.
Second option, I reach out to the seller and try to purchase the domain myself and immediately flip it to the end user. I can see this approach having a lot more risk in potentially purchasing a domain above reseller value and then having the buyer back out for any number of reasons. This approach would also yield the most return.
What do you guys think?
Thanks,
