Let me tell you a quick story. Although we domainers often compete with each other, I would like to report a very pleasant interaction I had with another of our kind. I had dropped a domain a few years ago. Apparently, someone searching for the domain at Uniregistry found my old for sale page and purchased the domain (didn't know that could happen but it did). So, here I was paid for a domain I no longer had. Crap! Trying to salvage some kind of profit, I searched whois for the owner and found the person who had it was someone in the biz. I contacted him via e-mail, stated my case for a tag-team, and asked for $150 commission. In my mind, this was a win-win scenario. The domainer was cautious as you would expect but after we spoke by phone and sending him a letter promising to transfer the bulk of the sale, we had a deal. He gave me the transaction code and the sale was completed. I transferred his portion via PayPal three days later. I really appreciated the level of trust the domainer showed me.
