NP Member Advice helped me sell it!
In a previous email, an NP member said that one way to reach an end-user was to do a search via a search engine. So, I did a search for wwrep. Using the results I came a across a company whose name was WWREP, but their domain name was ww-rep.com.
So, I went to their site and contacted them via their CONTACT FORM with the subject "Domain Name Acquisition." My message was short and to the point. I told them how I believed my domain name more accurately represented their company name. Within two days I was contacted by their President and it went from there. They paid my via PayPal. Just received payment this past Monday.
I decided to approach companies whose business model revolves around "direct search." One of them them purchased six German domain names from me for $3,000.00($500/per domain). They did not want to pay my initial asking price. They told me they didn't want to insult me with a counter-offer. I came back with a statement that I laugh at now. I told them:
"I do not see counter-offers as an insult, I see them as an opportunity to re-evaluate my position."
I finalized that deal two days later...The executive I dealt with knew it was my first deal and was very patient with me. He basically had one of his colleagues walk me through the process. Consequently, I usually give them an updated listing of my domains just to let them know what I still have.
I've re-invested some of the money I've made into .mobis. Regardless, of what some people say, they will be worth more than the registration fee. I've already come up with a game plan for any of the domain names I MIGHT acquire(keeping my fingers crossed).
Good luck to everyone,
Tony
