I am Lambo, Q&A Anything with Me

[lambo.com]

Hello,

If you have any questions about me or domain industry, I'll be happy to share in the spirit of how it flows generously by those who have walked in terrains of bounty.

Thanks to my teachers like:

Mr. Frank Schilling
Mr. Andrew Rosener
Mr. Rick Schwartz
Mr. Mike Berkens

Also other geniuses Asia-side. Growing the pie is done by marketing premium domains over and over to influencers and decision makers so let's grow domains!

In fact now I remember other NP members reporting sales made through Afternic but placing their main website name on the sale at Namebio.
I don't see too much problem here, if they are who report the sale, not Afternic or Uniregistry, for example.

I agree with this viewpoint, in that since someone did perhaps outbound or promotion work, at the very least set up things like appearance and description at many marketplaces, and if when they report a name to NameBio they do it under their domain site that seems to me totally proper. In fact, with Afternic in policy not to report, it seems like the more ethical way to do it.

That said, I think the problem with what @lambo.com did, in my opinion, was ASZ is not in any way his domain site. It simply is one of his domain names currently for sale, and it goes to a Uniregistry lander. I am not disputing that this would help the name get noticed, and may help a future sale of that domain, but it seems to me when you list venue at NameBio it should be a site where someone can go to get a list or information on your domains in general, a place that will have permanence. Otherwise NameBio will be littered with different one of selling venues that were never authentic selling venues.

Do you have such a site, @lambo, and if so where is it?

Thanks,

Bob

PS tagging @Michael in case he wishes to comment on what sort of sites should be listed as the seller, in case I am off-base in my view.

Michael mentioned the following
"When you report a sale you are free to list the venue as yourself, even if it happened at Afternic or elsewhere. This is because a sale at a marketplace is a collaboration between them and you, and ultimately you're the seller. "

"If you report the sale, you control the narrative and you say what venue it happened at. It always has and always will be like that. "

Congrats @lambo.com thanks for sharing.

The seller is who sells the domain, throught Afternic, Uniregistry or by other means, whatever. But ultimately is the seller who sells the domain.
Then, I don't see as mandatory to have a website or something related to place at Namebio. I see it this way, the seller can place his name, one of his domains, or whatever he wants to be identified for the sale of the domain.
He reports the sale and he has the right to place the name or domain that he wants.

And in Michael words:
"...a sale at a marketplace is a collaboration between them and you, and ultimately you're the seller. They aren't reporting anything, so if you want to take all the credit that's your business."

I started adding my website in my payee details so that it will show up on invoice that can be used to submit to namebio.

 

[Bob Hawkes]

I see it this way, the seller can place his name, one of his domains, or whatever he wants to be identified for the sale of the domain.

I am totally fine with a seller designating a site they want to be identified with, even some sellers have multiple names, and I am totally fine with that. I really think though the name used should in some way be a name of a site that is involved in selling or promoting names. Not simply some other domain name you want to sell. I don't see that as the seller.

OK I understand he does not believe in marketplaces, even personal ones. Then why not use his Twitter or NamePros handle as the seller? That would have some permanence (here since 2015, Twitter since 2012), it is where he regularly promotes names for sale, and would give a contact opportunity for potential future buyers. It would have the double bonus it is also NamePros handle. Yes, I do understand that name is for sale too, but he has identified on it for some time as mentioned.

The idea that each sale we list some name we want to sell in the future as the seller would quickly make the venue on NameBio seem a joke. Often I go to a seller name I do not recognize to learn more about what they have for sale.

By the way for some reason @Michael response had not shown up, so I had not read it before my last two posts. Not trying to belabour this and now out. Thank you very much Michael for so fully explaining your position. I do agree that those who make a sale, and report it to NameBio, should have considerable latitude.

Just my opinion that in this case a choice of something with more permanence might have been better.

Well, we are not the seller, but it was another person, and I guess this person does not want to use his Twitter, and he preferred to use another of his domains.
I guess is a question of taste, you would place your Twitter or website, Bob, and the seller wanted to place one of his domains.
Overall, the important here is that he reported the sale, not Afternic, not Uniregistry. And as he reported the sale, he has the right to choose what to put on Namebio.
I really don't see the problem here. I see the really important thing to report the sale, that's the imporant thing. Let the seller place whatever he wants, his name, his company, one of his domains... that's the minimum he deserves for reporting the sale, in my opinion.

How did you acquire A L M I.com? Was it negotiated? Or you hit the BIN?

Any additional details you like to add?

 

[Anaco Medy]

Hi, hope you're doing well. I would like to ask you few questions.

What platform do you use to receive your payments?

Where do you buy most of your domains from?

Do you like hand registration?

Where do you sell most of your domain
names?

How do you know the domain will be profitable before you buy them?

What are the steps do you follow before and after buying a domain name?

It would be very much helpful if you reply, thanks.

I find design of Uni and DAN to be of very high quality and both are proven with some love for users.

Do you usually have a BIN on your landers and if so, do you use a minimum offer amount?

 

[lambo.com]

What have you learnt from Rick Shwartz has he reached out to you? If you have been influenced it would likely strengthen his portfolio. He isn't offering lessons on domaining. When you have influence you can influence markets.

I reached out to him one time to thank him but that's all.

There is lots I took from RicksBlog.com, much applicable outside of domaining.

Being honest and speaking your truth is one thing. Standing by and defending your domains against dysfunctional bad actors another.

Wen Lambo!

hit the bin
no meaningful interest or offers until it sold but I only liked the name more as time went on.

good question, yes always BIN and min offer I'm too lazy to change.

(boutique seller)

My domain, my duty to convey price expectation.

On the other side of the table, can't stand engaging as a buyer with someone who can't even price their asset on a marketplace.

Do your buyers have anything in common (demographics, interests) that you target for marketing?

Lastly, what do you think of Afternic landers, with the Godaddy logo, phone and form?

Followup question...do you list at the other major marketplaces and if so, do you end up selling more through Dan/Uni or Afternic/Sedo?

Well you did drop the bull logo after influence.
