How to sell a set of names

[geovwood]

I own several sets of theme related domain names and I'm hoping that someone here can tell me how to market a set of names vs selling them one by one.

For example, I own the following complete set of welding type domain names:

ArcWelds.com
GasWelds.com
MigWelds.com
TigWelds.com
SubArcWeld.com

I can see value to a welding equipment manufacturer or supplier. I have them listed at auction with SEDO and noted in the seller comments the set of domain names.

What else can I do?

Thanks.

Pobably your only chance to make some $$$'s with this Set is contacting several welding equipment manufacturers and suppliers and trying to convince them that they need those names...

Most likely you'll wait forever for an offer at Sedo.

Good Luck

Totally go after welding co. Basically write some compelling copy that will woo them, if they don't call you within a week. Start calling them, since you have already made contact it should not be hard to get them on the phone to bring them a reminder to why they might need your names. Also another tactic to do is create it like they are getting the domains for a GREAT price if bought in a bundle.

hope it goes for you!

I agree with Toni, if you have domains that would appeal to a certain industry then be proactive...if it takes that you have to grab the Yellow Pages and start bashing out phone numbers and emails from those then do that.

People will not buy a domain when they are not aware it even exists or is available.

I recently appraised recertification.co.uk

Now, the guy could sit on his ass and do nothing with it and wonder in 12 months why he has to let it drop or he can contact councils and find out who is doing training courses in that area and get a whole bunch of free TARGETED leads to hit. Chances are if he does that he will get 2-3 interested leads for every 100 people he contacts. It is possible that people at the council will even know some training course leaders personally so might be able to arrange a meeting.

Now, if it comes down to selling on Sedo he has already contacted them and found out they have a need so chances are they will bid.

In a nutshell, get out there and tell people about it

There is one word that separates the top 1% of domainers in this industry from everyone else, proactiveness.
