Buyer gives his experience with the domain buying process

@equity78 Thank You for this Wonderful Insight from an End user perspective about how should Domainers be to Increase their Professionalism and directly how it affects the sell through rate of overall Domains portfolio and also the sales of that particular Domain being sold.

That was a fantastic article. We all need to read stuff like this to help us keep our heads out of the clouds.

Yeah that's why I wrote about it Joe with it being not a brand new post from the author, they touched upon so many different members of the biz. Sedo, Frank Schilling and Marchex got roasted and somehow Rick Latona got praise

Had to lol at this.

we’re looking for opening offers in the x,xxx range”. This is my most epic absurd experience in the
Domain aftermarket. I was trying to buy a domain from Marchex or Archeo or
something. These people are the worst I ran into. So I give him an offer in x,xxx
range, and then he came back and said, thanks, now we need an offer in the
xx,xxx range…. I’m like what? So just to be stupid, I gave him a 10,000 offer even though I didn’t even think it was worth 10K and wouldn’t have paid that, at this point I was curious what his response would be. He then said something like: ok, I have spoken to
management, and now that we know you’re serious, we need an offer in the xxx,xxx range. Huh??? This Marchex Company just really doesn’t get it and they are very
scuzzy. If anyone asks you for an “opening” offer, it means you’re trying to
kick a 75 yard field goal through a pole that is mounted on wheels and there are a couple
dudes in the end zone trying to move it every time you kick. Just give up on
trying to work with a company or person like this.

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting reading.

I literally LOL'd at this:
"The idea of “pushing” a domain name into my account seems sketchy to me, so I would try to get it out of that registrar and into another one as soon as possible.
If someone can simply push a domain into your account, I have to think someone that that company can simply “push” it back out…"

seems like still in small shock from meeting a domainer and a domain aftermarket

Great article, priceless industry prospective on what looks like a vet negotiator for sure,information will be studied. I never thought examining, the prospective replies u get on inquiry u make gave this much away

I don't agree everything he said, but he’s on-point.
If any one of you, get actual RESPONSE, on inquiry, you made, interested in buying, study their response, they gave more away, than I realized!

I also really like “if they provide first last names in their email signature, much more likely, to be legit.” Something else, thats small i didn't consider.

The fact, article, had Oct 2019 comments on bottom, think, means, did well sharing this! I found timeless.
