How to sell a domain to a end-user?

[snoopinc]

I've never actually sold a domain to an end-user. The story is that i own the .com. The .net and .org version is taken by the end-user and so i wish to sell my domain to them. Is there a template email which i should follow?

Cheers

Theres a thread here somewhere in which people post emails they send.... IMHO the email should pretty much just state that the domain is available for sale and any relevant info (i.e. traffic and or serps if any). Depending on the sophistication of the users I sometimes give a very brief explanation of type-in traffic and serps but seeing as your user already has the .net and .org you can probably leave this out

It might not be what you're looking for exactly, but there's some great advice on finding end-users which might help you.

I have sold a few .com domains to .net and .org owners even once a .biz and I always make sure to point out that the .com is the most well know domain extension and without it they can lose customers so the name will end up paying for itself in many cases.

I find that many times if someone has a .net then their first choice was taken, and contacting the person owning it came to no avail.

If you happen to find them and let them know that it is on the market then generally speaking you will find a buyer...

They tend to be amongst the easiest sells you can do since the person is already in that market 9 times out of ten and will be looking to consolidate or redirect
