Do Big Companies Know Domains?

[peaches017]

When you e-mail a company or orginization to sell a name, do they know what they're talking about. They won't shirk the offer of selling a good name to "spam e-mail, my firewall is supposed to catch that! LOL!"

Will they actually understand a good price? Do they have people in that department? Is that persons email the whois contact email?

I've e-mailed Barnes & Nobles domain admin with no reply, and a few others. I'm just wondering how I should go about this.

Also - If you agree to sell, are most companies capable of handling a push / transfer? My one experience of a sale to an end-user was a hassle because I had to initiate the transfers for him and such.

With all the talk & discussion on forums many tend to forget about the end user. This would be the Barnes & Nobles.
I think clearly many of them would understand something like books.com, nonfiction.com, even horrorstories.net

It's when you have to look at a name & want to sell because OVT stats say it's a good domain, or you get typeins from a parked domain.

End users that are business' need conversions. Is the domain something that people would search for on the net. Is it a competitive real world generic name.

I think many marketing departments of companies do know about a good domain & a good price. Although I the person in charge of the tech team & web portion is most like not the person who makes any type of branding decisions. There are companies that those companies hire to advise them.

Companies these days do hire ppl for advicing them on web and internet marketing so, most probably these hired ppl are responsible about good name or buying a good brand name for there company
