Shall we?

Thanks for the suggestion.

Explain what the benefit/purpose of it would be please?

 

[theSun]

Advanced domaining community engagement requires partnership brokers. Strategic alliances between businesses are a growing feature in the world of domaining. It will further fosters strategic business relationship between domainers. Also, The utilization of the resources of this forum will be maximized to the fullest extent and talents and deliver mutual benefits for us all. The risks and constraints to doing business should not be limited to only commercial, but also social. Finally, conventional business logic would suggest the formation of alliances with those who can strategically fill the gaps.

I understand why people use brokers, I was more asking why we should segregate domains offered by brokers into their own forum?

 

[theSun]

We need a "brokers wanted" category in NamePros, where domainers can request, and seek further marketing possibilities from domain brokers. These "domain brokers" can be us, right here, the NPers! Brokers can help broker domains to their own private clients, and earn commission!

I agree a "brokers wanted" section would be a good idea.
As for names that are sold by brokers on behalf of owner it would be good that brokers at least mention their role.

Brokered Domains Forum ... NO.

Brokers Wanted Forum ... Yes!

Requiring (or at least strongly encouraging) disclosure in for sale ads that one is brokering the domain ... Yes!

A brokers wanted section will be very good in allowing noobs to sell any premium domains they own. It would lower the entry barrier for domainers without contacts in major marketplaces / buyers / buying groups, which in this business is a good thing.

Brokered domain sales at NP is not desirable for the simple reason that there are no or very few end users who frequent this forum and hence end user pricing, which is the basic requirement of a premium domain will never be met. Also, this can give rise to all kinds of potential scams etc. unless NP staff is willing to check documentation on each and every offer. But I think this is not feasible at all.
