Hello everyone,

I came across a service from Moniker where they would be a broker for you and put forward an offer on your behalf and you would only pay if they were succesful in acquiring the domain for you, (https://www.domainsystems.com/bidform.php?domain).

You do have to put an min. offer of $400 but to me it's better then the $20 certified offer Network Solutions takes regardless of a succesful bid.

However I have put several offers over the $400 mark through Monikers service, on several different domains and despite their promise that they'll get back to you in 3 days I have never recieved any response back, apart from the soulless automated email notifying your interest in the domain you have inquired on. I find it a lazy approach as they should get back to you and let you know, even when your bid has been unsuccesful. 1. Either this service is purely automated to only forward bids to thier staff over a substantial amount or 2. The service is totally defunct.

Has anyone else had an experience with this service? More importantly and the reason for this whole rant is, does anyone know of a trusted service where there are no fees upfront to inquire about the purchase of a domain?.

Thank you.

why not just do it yourself?

The domains I'm interested in aren't listed on sites such as Sedo, and when you do a whois they have privacy protection. When you type the url they lead to blank white pages.

And how do you expect Moniker to bypass privacy protection any easier than you could? In this case, all they can do is send an email to the privacy email, which gets forwarded to the owner. You could do the same thing yourself :) Unless the domain is registered through Moniker, then maybe they have some more options, I dont know. And on a personal note. If I got an inquiry or an offer through a brokered service, I'd up my price instantly, because if they're serious enough to use a broker, they're serious enough to pay some good money :)

Thanks for the insight slipxaway. I'll have a go at contacting the owners myself and see if that brings any joy.
