What can a broker do that you can't? A broker would list it on Sedo, afternic, ect and perhaps ebay. Maybe they would contact possible end users as well.
I thought about being a broker, but as a domainer aren't you already one?
Its true, theres not really much point in getting someone else to do what you can do yourself already and take a cut of the profits!
Theres nothing a broker will do that you shouldnt already be doing to sell your domains
Most of us have so few domain names, we're like a retailer, selling a little bit of everything.
Wholesaler is likely the Sedo and Afternic of the world who have a ton of everything and sell in bulk amounts.
I think a Domain Name Broker would be a Distributor... with strong contacts between both Wholesalers and Distributors as to get the job done and move product quickly through the vast network they have built.
Just my two sense... and I wish I knew a broker!
PS - perhaps a GreatDomains.com would be a broker.... specializing in a niche... but they'd be on a larger scale rather than a individual agent. They're big and this guy wants Jerry McGuire... SHOW ME THE MONEY!
thanks guys! I thought that like trigatch4 says, they would have a much larger list of contacts and relationships and thought they could sell my domains quick and get a decent price for them.
My domains are listed @ www.DomainNameFinder.net - if anyone would take a look and give their opinion on them
A person with experience in past sales regarding negotiating and finding the right people because of their experience in dealings with other people in the domaining business can be a very welcome asset.
Also like you mentioned contacting end users is part of it and i would regard this as the lions share of being a broker.
So connecting with your end users in a positive manor and getting your message across in clear and fluently in the language of the intended end-users in a way to negotiate your way to a nice sale is definately a combined quality and talent what one should be looking for in a broker.
And this type of talent is not something anyone is equiped with.
Anyone can pose as a broker but can anyone really perform as a broker should?
Not everyone...
