I personally think the respectful thing to do is if the person reports the sale masked then it should be masked. You are scraping info so scrape as the seller intended with their post. They should not have to say Mask this. It should be obvious.

There are many reasons to keep it masked that don’t involve NDA’s. Like common courtesy to the new owner who might be building a site on it.

Agree when seller reports with / then to keep the sale masked should be default criteria. not otherwise. rest good work by josh.

They're sales reported by NamePros members, regardless of where they took place. Some sales occurred through NamePros.com, email, etc.

Bonus: We just added https://www.namepros.com/threads/popular-domain-name-sales-content.1027781/

Hope that helps,

Thank you very much for the explanation Mr Eric.

OK. So this is reported sales. Not sales made on NP (which was what I thought). Does the sale have to be reported by the owner/seller? Or can anyone report a sale they don't own?

Most people here add '/' between the words so that these sales don't get archived by Google.. they won't appreciate it.

If they already sold the name why would they want to hide it from Google?

Isn't it the buyers concern?

Just don't get it, hope someone can explain why.

Can you tell, has the creation of this thread visibly affected the number of members reporting their sales?

I propose the creation of a thread where the seller's semi-obfuscation of the domain name is respected and not copied or reported elsewhere.

I don't see that it has affected the number of members reporting their sales at all. Maybe in a positive way you mean?

This is the 3rd report and total sales numbers have gone up month over month....not down.

In fact we have over 20 reported sales already in the first 4 days of the month...

@Haris I appreciate your concern for other members but no need to be the hero here. Anyone that has a problem with this report can DM me directly.

I've previously stated AND will state again. If you want to keep the sale "masked" then just make it clear in your post. Just like @Recons.Com has done in the past.

See February reported sales - https://thedomainblog.org/reported-domain-sales-namepros-february-edition/

You'll see that J/o/u/z and N/o/b/l/e M/e/t/a/l are masked.

Having said this. If you report a sale that that you shouldn't be reporting. ANYONE can see it and retype it. If you sell a name on Afternic/Sedo/Flippa without a clue who the buyer is, then who cares? Afternic/Sedo/Flippa has the authority to report the sale anyway.

I'll leave it at that for today.

I find the thread useful. Especially with the OP respecting the masked ones.

 

[Leo Angelo]

Not sure what you are talking about, but as a personal favor to you, I won’t report your sales if I see any from you.

By the words of Eric Lyon, “I hope that helps”.

I'm retracting, our logic was flawed here. Thanks

Good to see hyphenated domain names doing well. Thanks for the great work @Josh R

The increase in number of reported sales is not related to your blog post at all and you know it. I am sure most members who report sales aren't even aware of this thread. But I will let them know and we will see whether they appreciate it or not.

Pretty sure I never said it's related to my blog post.... I said that it's nonsense that reported sales have gone down but Okkkk @Haris .. I have a pretty good relationship with most members here so they can approach me whenever they want. We don't need you to mediate.

Just letting them know. Personally, I don't care if my buyers find these sales reported, I would prefer they don't find out, but not a big deal for me, I just feel most members won't appreciate it, if they don't care, then there is no point in obfuscating the domains in their posts.

The admins have an obligation to clearly communicate to the completed sales forum users that their masking has been undone and will continue to be ignored, and what that means.

No one is talking about NDAs here - sellers have a legal obligation to not speak about such sales.

But the majority of the completed sale posts are meant for the eyes of fellow NamePros only, for mutual benefit, to learn about techniques and trends etc. It is not for the public at large. I don't want my buyer to google the domain name they just acquired and immediately find out the initial cost, the negotiation history etc.

I don't think I am over-reacting here.

“No one is talking about NDAs here - sellers have a legal obligation to not speak about such sales.” ...

Not sure what you are talking about, but as a personal favor to you, I won’t report your sales if I see any from you.

Thanks. I’m only trying to provide a useful resource. Most people are happy.

 

[Leo Angelo]

Happy here, too. Thanks again for this great work!
