.mobi Private WHOIS ?

[jacpar]

I have a really worthy dot mobi name at godaddy
I want to sell it via SEDO
What is your advice : should I first get a private WHOIS ? What will be the advantage to have a private WHOIS ?

Please comment

What is the domain name, and why do you think private Whois may be beneficial? IYHO.

Thanks for the assist.

Because the buyer will try to contact me personnaly ? May be.
I really don't know. I want to know if someone had had a bad experience by doing private WHOIS or not having done WHOIS.
I have the choice. Is one is better ?

your usually better off not having private whois enabled if selling the domains as it leaves the option of direct contact available from buyers, You can always use escrow.com or moniker escrow to secure the funds if someone does contact you directly, the only reason I could see using private whois is if your holding adult or trademark names but all it takes is a legal notice and the registrar will release your contact info even if you are using private whois if doing something wrong, I have contacted quite a few domain owners directly in 2006 and wrapped up quite a few sales with the direct contact method which not only saves a 10% commission charge but also makes deals complete in 2-3 days instead of the 2-6 weeks at some aftermarkets, if looking to sell domains the easier you make it for a buyer to contact you the better.
